Like you, I don't have mics or cameras connected to my desktops, but I do have a google tablet and I've used the "Okay Google" feature before, so I knew about it. But, I never thought about what I say when I have the tablet stuck in my pocket, supposedly in "power-saving sleep mode". No doubt in my mind that the mic could still be listening if google wants it to be.
