Every computer camera is covered with cotton and plastic and black tape. Every mic had a wad of fabric, waxed cardboard and black tape. “They” might be able to hear but they’re going to have to try a little harder.

Can’t imagine why anyone would want one of these creepy things in the house.

I have a really neat shopping and reminder list that involves a pen and paper. IIRC, they invented light switches a hundred years ago. How many spelling and metric conversions do you need on a daily basis?

32 year old toaster works just fine without Big Brother. I wash dishes by hand. Stove, fridge, washer and drier are the old style with not fancy buttons to break and go wrong. Have an old flip phone not connected that only makes phone calls but guess those are somehow monitored. Bottom line, what Big Brother knows about me is mainly from FR and my electronic vote for Trump.

... well good for you and I bet the rest of your life is pretty boring all barricaded in, hiding from any new technology. Enjoy.

Unplug or pull the power cord on the router box when you’re not using it. Turns off both the wifi and internet. Guaranteed to drive any visiting net-addicted relatives crazy and keeps people from hacking your wifi.
