Don't forget internet connected cars and their cameras acting as LPR's and microphones. Then there is the microphone many folks is buying and installing in their home. A coworker already had their roommate purchase a large quantity of adult toys using that spy device.
Has anyone considered starting a new industry around anti-spy devices that babble nonsense to your other spy devices? Or is there perhaps a script on github for this yet?
- confounded 9y agoIf you consider it malicious, why would you put it in your home? If you feel like you need an assistant, A better solution might be something like Mycroft https://mycroft.ai https://mycroft.ai
- LinuxBender 9y agoI consider it worse than malicious. It's a spy device, but you pay for it and provide it paid bandwidth. I would never use one. My coworkers roommate is however and the pranks are endless.
- CodeMage 9y agoI really like what I've read about Mycroft so far. Not only is it open source, but you can actually configure it to connect to servers you host. That last bit was what made me decide to back Mycroft v2 on Kickstarter.
