“”Alexa may be in therapy for years.””
That’s funny.....there should be some payback!!!!
I don’t have one and never will. Alexa is turned off on my Kindle, as is Siri on my laptop and iPhone. Those are the only devises I own.
We’ve known about this, and much worse, for years.
Cameras are embedded in smart TVs and other electronics.
When the guys came to set up our Sleep Number bed they asked for the password to our wifi so they could connect the bed to the internet. Seriously? We said absolutely not!!
All the routers are made in China. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that the chips in appliances have a back door to routers so they can surreptitiously connect themselves if you don’t do it for them.
Open Office works just fine.
Good chance it’s not, but certainly could be used for that.
E.g., if you’ve got Windows, it’s constantly sending God-knows-what back to the mothership.
Not in my kitchen...:*)
But...it may be fruitless...as there is a “mesh web” being installed everywhere...snd it will record/track everything we do (a neighboring County near us is fighting it). I think it is how China tracks its citizens.
I do need a new fridge...so, I am sure it will be trying to spy.
