Amazing idea, not fond of having it around. It stays off for the most part besides just using it for music when cooking 🤷🏻♂️ It was gifted so sadly can’t joyfully destroy it
It's pretty foolproof. You say: "Alexa, are you switched off?"
If it is, it says "Yes," in a muffled voice. Never fails.
In Orwell's book, Nineteen Eighty Four, houses were equipped with flat panel "telescreens" that broadcast propaganda all day (MSM?) and they also listened to you and watched you 24/7 (Think Edward Snowdon) in case you did the least slightly subversive thing.
OK, he was off by a few years but that was a pretty good guess right back in 1949 when the book was published.
Yep we have an old Echo that was a gift to the missus from her dad, I make her keep it in a separate room all the way on the other side of the house from where I most frequently am.
I see an entire comment section here asking why would anyone keep this knowing it will spy on them. You think all of these pedes only use dumb phones? Pretty sure none of them keep their mobile tracking devices in a faraday cage. So yeah. Not surprising lol.
I find it hilarious that people are so afraid of these in their house. Dude, do you have a cell phone in your pocket? If you do, they’re already listening!
Taiwan warned U.S.A. in October or November 2019 about a highly transmissible peer-to-peer virus that China was intentionally trying to keep a lid on leaking. Taiwan was very public about making sure everybody knew that they tried to get the word out so we would not think they tried to bionuke us.
I agree. Last week in September and wider distribution in October is what I remember seeing. Of course this info is dutifully scrubbed from the internet these days.
Given that I haven't been sick since December 2019 after catching something flu-like from another person at the end of November I believe that it was hear well before they publicly released it. I think it might have escaped early or they released it prematurely to shut down the Hong Kong protests.

Ask Alexa if she wants to go swimming, then place the device inside your toilet's tank.

How do you know it's really off?
Remember corded kitchen phones? The mouthpiece was always active.
Only in the kitchen?
Interesting, fren. I did not know this.
I unplug that hoe and put it in a closet in its box 😂
Like a gremlin?
LOL

Perhaps it wasn't a guess, but part of the long-term DS playbook...and Orwell had read it.

The $99.00 round one has nice sound.
Glad you got the joke patriot, a friend has one and I'm always joking about it.
Not easy to be funny over the internet sometimes ;)
Well played!
Mine responded by shattering when I hit it with a hammer.
Google changes the question, like any slimy politician or lawyer. The question they answer is "when did covid 19 start?"
Oh of course, somehow I saw that one coming lmao
Try asking Alexa for the patent number.
Ahhhh she said “I’m sorry I don’t know that” 😂
Lying b*tch. Everyone knows it's US-7776521-B1. :-P

Boom
I knew a guy that made a big deal about secrecy and using protected coms... but has five of these things in his house.

I was gifted one. I gifted it right back.
I find it hilarious that people are so afraid of these in their house. Dude, do you have a cell phone in your pocket? If you do, they’re already listening!
I’m with you, I think I remember reading something that the first cases were well before December 2019 🤦🏻♂️

My whole family got it the week between christmas and new year in 2019. My kids were quite sick.
