I'll never have one of those damn things in my house - cyber security nightmare to have a "connected" home. Is it that damn hard to operate a thermostat or turn on a lamp?

I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely love my Google home speakers. IDGAF if they're listening to me.

Fun fact:
TV commercials play an inaudible tone that pings cell phone signals
If you have your phone on you and are watching TV some entity somewhere can know your exact location
But yeah pretend you’re safe because you don’t have an Amazon Echo

Did you get rid of the other 8 things in your house that are listening to you?
there’s nothing in my house listening I can promise you. You guys inviting surveillance into your home because you are too lazy to do things for yourselves is frightening to me
no tinfoil hat here but why on earth have you just accepted this as the way of the future? It’s not necessary and it’s not doing you any good

No one checks their email daily to see all the amazon orders?

Do you use a computer? Do you do searches on it? Do you buy things with it? Guess what... your computer is "listening" too.

tracking webpage activity is a far cry from listening to and recording daily conversations in your home. That fricking smart doorbell has an HD camera installed in it and people pay for the privilege of allowing them to watch you
It’s insane
