Worried about privacy with Alexa? There's another concern...

When i lived in an apartment in Hamilton, I could hear everything the next door neighbour said when I was in the washroom.

I used to wonder if they could hear the sounds coming from my washroom.

but then, a man still has to use the washroom, no?

You didn't read it?

If you can hear them, they can hear you.

"You can't sue" is pretty standard statement in many contracts. Doesn't mean much, you can still sue them or at least go for arbitration.

I feel like these are just standard terms and conditions.

I refuse to believe amazon/google or any of these services are recording what we say so employees elsewhere can listen to us... But that's me.

Considering the source of that quote taught us how to build a gaming pc that will always be remembered...

That last comment you made there is kind of stupid also.

What I find hilarious is all these people afraid of being listened to randomly STILL USE THESE DEVICES. Whats even more dumb is the fact that they're worried about this but are clueless about how much more information is taken via internet browsers and whatnot. Let's also not forget that windows 10 is also tracking us.

Well, I guess I should be very concerned that I just told my google home mini to turn my lights down and my tv on... Oh no... They must think I'm about to watch tv!


That quote I put in should give you an answer but you probay wouldn't be satisfied, because of what the "ukraine" source told the this website. Which makes absolutely no sense. Amazon put protection in place and all that means is they can now be accessed anywhere?


Do you not comprehend the sheer stupidity of these article authors?

Id better throw my 65" tv in the trash because OH NO IT HAS GOOGLE VOICE ASSISTANT!

Wow...

This is a standard clause in pretty much all agreements. It doesn't mean anything.

None of that is valid in Canada.
