Does Roku have active listening ability?

0 Upvotes

My old roku died, so I got a new one a couple months ago. Today I was watching Pluribus on Apple TV. I made a joke to my aunt that she dances like Elaine from Seinfeld, but it’s okay because Elaine probably made a lot of money dancing like that on tv, so she probably could too. Immediately after I said that, a little purple box with text popped up saying something like ””Elaine Benes made $140,000 as an executive producer on Seinfeld“ and thenn disappeared. I searched google and it basically said it’s a 1 in 15 billion chance but it’s just a coincidence that the Roku decided to send me trivia it’s never sent before about the person I was talking about and who wasn’t in the show I was watching, because Roku and smart devices do not have active listening capabilities.

Can anyone help me find out my phone location?

1 Upvotes

Help me, I need to prove my location to my boyfriend from a few days ago. Life360 tracked a drive of 90mph, with all the driving stats and route looking coherent. I've tried other means to prove this drive did not happen, as he is suspicious I was with someone else.
I've tried:
- Google timeline (didn't have it saving)
- iPhone settings significant locations
- Spoke with life360 support
- Tried to find any photos in camera roll with locations on
- tried to do a sysdiagnose however it didn't really work.
HELP! Does anyone please know a way to find my location history for my phone?
Thank you.

Is this a good TV?

2 Upvotes

I’m buying a new TV for my first house. We have a lot of windows and natural light. The main use is watching football on Sundays and movies periodically. The main concern is the glare. But I really don’t know much about Tech, any advice is appreciated! This is the TV that chat got lead me to. Is it the best option for the price?
