Amazon employee with no piss breaks listening in on my echo:
"How many fucking cats does this guy have? Just chose one name and call it that!"
Edit: "I don't know Jeff, sell him a fucking dr seuss book or something the guys mental."
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Definitely not a complete FOSS setup but I decided to go the Apple route a self-hosted Homebridge for non Apple home-kit enabled devices.
Always listening AI. I always thought the future would be awesome but capitalism has figured out a way for it to not be that.
Which Echo devices ever supported local only processing? They cost about £30. There's no kit that can do decent voice commands for that money. You'd be lucky to have a device that processes claps to turn the lights on for that.

The part that really gets me is that you have to opt out to not have everything you say saved. Bonkers that that isn't the default! There's no good user-based reason for this. Alexa doesn't remember shit for users, like any AI there's no recall feature. You can't say remember what I told you last night - give the address for that place, I was drunk and don't remember the name.
To the recycling bin you go, Alexa
