You’re still using Alexa? Unplugged our listening er pod device about a week after we got it.
Same, I got Alexa (the first one with a good speaker) when attended a sales event of another company. I set it up, but after seeing its network activity even when no one was home I shut it down and didn't use it again.
I don't understand why people don't feel weirded out by having an always on listening device.
Yup, scares the heck out of me. Guess other don’t agree. I am getting downvoted.
Likely b/c your comment reads like you are stating OP is using it when you probably meant a more general public "you"? That'd be my guess. I think most, if not all, here would agree to not ever use alexa, that bitch.
That’s a them problem. I did not say it was OP. Ass/u/me.
Based on the your still “insert whatever here”.
