so "Muting" your google home effectively puts it in airplane mode?
Muting puts the microphone on a closed circuit iirc, i.e. it's just a circuit that detects whether you've used the keyword, and is completely separate and inaccessible to its OS beyond it knowing "the user used the keyword", a boolean value if you may.
I don't need a conspiracy nut to tell me that's probably not true to believe that it's probably not true
Companies and the public don't give a shit about privacy
Pretty sure muting it straight up disables the microphone completely.
No. If it’s “muted”, it will recognize “OK google” and tell you to unmute the mic first to enable online functionality.
I have 3 devices and none of them do this 🤷
It's also not "airplane mode" because I can send music to any of them
Exactly, that way it can record your data offline and upload it next time you go back online. They don't send data while muted, they didn't say anything about after...
Technically, per EU and California law, you should be able to download all data they have on you – Google will offer a friendly page with recordings and their transcripts. But who knows if that's all they store? They're a black box.
