That’s related to your search history. It didn’t pop on mine until I got to the guide

I have never looked up the term on this Mac that I got a few months ago.

Edit: I did it again and I had to type " what is on the geo". I probably had to type 3 letters yesterday and then when I did it the second time I only had to do one letter as it remembered the history. So my bad, it was three letters. Still strange.

Your device is listening. If it's an iphone it listens even when siri is off. This is how ads show up, specifically about what you've already spoken about.

How could the phone hear yo say, "Hey, Siri", or "OK Google" if it wasn't listening all the time?

You devices are logging your life. Like a... Lifelog.

Do you have a google or gmail acct? Google saves all of your internet history and search history. Since it's saved in the cloud, it follows you from computer to computer.

Let me ask you this since you are knowledgeable. If I looked the term up on my iPhone, would my Mac synch and recognize since they are occasionally on the same Wifi?

Wouldn't have anything to do with needing to share wifi. It would be a common account between the devices, or Apple is sharing data with Google. Or... Your devices are spying on you all the time and combining the data into metadata about you.

(Most likely the latter.)

Are you claiming the BBC article, identifying May as the girl in the center of the picture is in fact not May. I did go to snopes, but I do like I always do when on there site or any other one, I clicked on the source material. So whose wrong? You or the BBC?

I agree. So Google knows my phone connects to a certain IP address thru Wifi, and can link this data to other devices on the same. The problem is it does not know that my device may belong to the same IP address due to portability, unless it is looking for number of connections and such.

It would be interesting experiment to see if I asked a friend or family member to do several searches on a home device. I take my device and connect to their network and see if I get ads for mine or their searches

For Android users, Google is the operating system. They capture that data from the OS level and store it on their servers. Likewise for Chromebooks/ChromeOS.

For Chrome users, Google is the browser, and they gather that data from the browser and store it on their servers.

For GMail users, Google hooks into your browser when you log into your account (google acct/sync) and captures that data.

If you're a Facebook user, they hook into your browser and capture intrusive data as well.
