The start-up Alphonso collects viewing data for advertisers through mobile gaming apps that can track users on the devices’ microphones, even when the apps aren’t in use.
Some smartphone games are listening to what your mic picks up — but not to hear what you say. Instead, they’re trying to hear what you’re watching.
This is something smartphone apps have been doing...
I finally got my hands on a Raspberry Pi 3 and wanted to see how it compares to the Pi 2 (review + benchmarks incoming!), but one of the first things I wanted to test was overclocking the microSD clock for better disk I/O. On average, with all the cards I've tested so far, overclocking the microSD reader resulted in 25-50% better performance for real-world disk operations (benchmarks further down in this post). And with a reliable power supply, you shouldn't need to worry about reliability or corruption (in my limited stress testing, I only had one corruption, and that was when I was using my cheaper iClever power supply).
n my experience, one of the highest-impact upgrades you can perform is to buy the fastest possible microSD card—especially for applications where you need to do a lot of random reads and writes.
There is an order-of-magnitude difference between most cheap cards and the slightly-more-expensive ones (even if both are rated as being in the same class)—especially in small-block random I/O performance. As an example, if you use a normal, cheap microSD card for your database server, normal database operations can literally be 100x slower than if you used a standard microSD card.
