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.
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!
