I do think they use the tech you described, but I turn my wifi and gps off if not using them, and I've had far too many cases of "The thing someone not linked to your device or social media just mentioned in conversation came up as a social media ad, the next time you open it."

Right, the pinme model can get an idea of where someone's been even with a phone fully off.
I don't think that's being used to serve ads though, and if it is I don't really get someone's point in saying "no silly, your phone's microphone isn't being used to collect data on you without your permission. Literally every sensor (including the mic, but just not for keywords) is being used to collect data without your permission."

If I was a captain of industry I'd have like a show office with desks like this and big chairs and a fireplace and taxidermied animals and stuff but then also an actual getting things done office that's just a windowless gray room with florescent lights and stained carpet and a pressboard work area

In his defence, the alternatives were starving to death or being worked to death as a prison slave.

I did "multiage" like that for 2/3 and 4/5th grade but it wasn't because the school was out of money, it was a novel teaching idea where the older kids buddy up with the younger kids and it was all very modern and progressive and new and 90's

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
My grade school had combined grades 1/2 3/4 5/6 and 7/8 but that's because, including kindergarten, there was 70 students total (about 12% of the towns population)
