You saved 60 bucks to get owned? Wow you are cheap.
you are correct cell phones are just as dangerous.
Hey Poindexter, I saved a hell of a lot more than $60 on our power bills this winter using the echo devices and accessories in the way that I described. It was very cold out... I estimate that we saved several hundred dollars. And it was very nice to arrive at a warmed up house at each location. There are other ways that I could probably have done this, but our schedule is highly variable and this was the cheapest way. Every echo device has been on some type of special, most of them cost me between $15 and $20 and the alexa enabled switches and outlets were all around $10 on sale, and they work with our cell phones as well as the echo dots.
Your arguments are based on a combination of ignorance and paranoia. If we were having a discussion about something that absolutely needed to be kept secret I would unplug the echo dot and put my cell phone in a different room. How does that make me owned?
