Hang on, an Amazon Echo?Â* Like the Alexa

Yep.

that spies on you?

Nope, just listens to you questions or commands
which have Alexa in front of them

"Amazon employs thousands of people around the world to listen to and
transcribe recordings made by Alexa-enabled device users."

I've NOT signed that! ;-)

"The recordings are partially anonymized. They dont include a users
full name and address, but will be identifiable by their account
number,
first name, and the serial number of the Alexa-enabled device theyre
using."

So not anonymous then.Â* Your speech can be traced to you by an Amazon
employee.Â* They can have a jolly good laugh at you saying naughty things
to your wife in bed.Â* They can then publish it somewhere and make an
arse of you.Â* Would you buy a microphone, plug it into the internet,
then let anyone listen to you any time they want?Â* Because that's what
Alexa does.


My son bought me Google's equivalent. It's magic! :-)

Mind you, it's kept in my kitchen!!!


Is it called a wife?


Sh*t! :-D You made me spill my coffee!
