The only amazon device I own is a kindle and I still hate the idea that I can't know if its listening in, or trying to share my wifi with other devices through amazon sidewalk, or whatever.
They can charge as much or as little as they'd like for it. The idea of using such a service is repulsive, even for free. Amazon is the enemy, not your friend. Giving them more access to more of your life is a bad idea.
- shiroiushi 2y agoThe basic idea of Alexa is great, the problem is, as you point out, it'd under the control of an untrustworthy company. It's too bad we can't buy Alexa (/-like) devices that run auditable open-source code, and connect them to an open-source program running on our home servers. I'd be happy to have such a device/service, as long as it's under my control.
- LegitShady 2y agoI don't know that there are any companies I'd trust to run alexa or an alexa like service. It's not like I trust google, microsoft, or apple more. I don't trust any of them.
