There are "smart-apartments" going up in my area that have Alexas and whatnot preinstalled. They're some of the nicer apartments in the area and I'd love to live there. However, it's against the leasing agreement (which is pretty firm) to remove / disable them. Insane.

- leetbulb 8y agoIIRC they are doing some kind of tech study which got them a grant to build the place. There's an entire suite of things from "smart-solar" to the Alexas. The thing about the lease is not fact, it's just what the leasing office told me when I asked about it, I did not read an actual legal document.
- thatoneuser 8y agoIf that's true then the hype about tech companies being literally Hitler is pretty much right. That's fucking insane.
