Morons buying moronic 'smart' devices, unable to understand that they're the product, not the consumer and they have sold away the rights to their eyes and ears with their purchases.
My house contains no smart devices that can harvest data from me (my mum does use a samsung smart TV from 2016) and all devices have everything disabled and other things installed to block data collection and tracking... I can't stop 100% of it, but what little trickle they do get is basically worthless.
My eyes and ears are not for sale, nor is my privacy.
Don't understand your downvotes, but probably owners of such bugs :-)
If there is a trickle, you do not know what you're doing.
This whole comment has a, "I am very badass" vibe to it.
You're probably sending more data to the cloud than most because of the hubris.
Wow, you are soo cool and unique to realize that the consumer is not the customer, noone has ever figured out that before!
No one asked about the status of smart home devices in your home.
