So you let Amazon use your WiFi to bridge their proprietary IoT network to the internet, potentially lending your bandwidth to anyone near you with an Amazon device. Existing Amazon devices already support it and it will be turned on soon. Is this opt in or opt out?
> Amazon Sidewalk uses Bluetooth, the 900 MHz spectrum and other frequencies
> The maximum bandwidth [...] is 80 Kbps [...] capped at 500 MB [per month]

- hyperdimension 6y agoHmm, I wonder if they'll be crediting us for all that data egress at AWS prices...
- Naac 6y ago>> Is this opt in or opt out? That's the frustrating part. It reads like opt-out, but when I go check the settings on the app as per the instructions it looks like it's already disabled. But it says "Coming Soon"? So am I supposed to check the app for the next couple weeks until it's forced turned-on, and then disable it? Definitely not what I would call "Customer Obsession". If anyone knows how to cripple the echo via firewall rules, while still keeping most of its functionality, please let me know.
- m463 6y ago"Customer Obsession" just not in the way expected :) By the way, I called customer service for a company (not amazon), and the first message was "This call will be recorded for quality and training purposes"... And I couldn't help but think "training" might not be what I expect.. could training mean machine learning?
- r00fus 6y agoOh they’re obsessed about you as a customer. Like a stalker.
