“This is getting ridiculous and I’m about to just toss the whole thing and move back to Google,” one Redditor said of the “full-volume” ads for Alexa+ on their Echo Show.

    Did you see the research about how they were able to use the vibrations from your laser mouse to accurately determine what was being said out loud? Or how they can map rooms and detect motion with wifi. Enforable and painfully punished laws must be written not consuming one brand is not enough.

      I did, but that’s not something that can easily be used in the wild… As for plans and layouts… those plans are located with local planning depts anyway. Proof of concept and a practical use for them are often very different… But yes… criminal charges need apply, not civil ones… and as I’m in the UK, perhaps they could bring terrorism charges against them too… they like doing that to people not actually committing acts of terror these days.
