in reply to evacide • • •I wish there was a guide to hacking them and replacing the software. I honestly just need a hands-free way to turn on and off lights at this point.
(Also lol my phone’s swipe keyboard tried autocorrecting “software” to “disease”.)

Metaphorically speaking yes, do throw them into the sea.

in reply to evacide • • •i bought one of hte original echos way back when, and about a month later ripped it's brains out and just kept hte audio part and put a new brain into it.
proper PITA but better than eWaste.
when sonos tried their "recycle your old devices and we'll brick perfectly usable devices" idiocy about 5 years ago, similar reworking ensued.

in reply to evacide • • •please don't tell people to throw their trash in the sea. It's bad for the environment.
Retailers are required by law to take back electronic devices that are trash. So best bring them to your next amazon fulfillment center for proper disposal.

still feels odd being proven right though 🙁

If it's not reporting everything you say in your home to the new fascist American administration, it will be soon.

This is gonna be the dumbest AI ever. If it learned to respond from my family's usage it will end up a machine that just says "Pull my finger." any time a request is made.

No smart speakers. Ever.

I have an Alexa and have stopped using it because of Amazon's announced changes.

Sadly it won't stop the majority still buying into these trash devices. But hopefully something good will come from more people not using them.
