Yep, you actually are that stupid. Who cares if amazon can hear you shouting at your cats ?

Doesn’t happen often enough to matter and trivial to ensure that it cant do anything that costs you money if you are that mindlessly paranoid.

Something you cant do with ANPR and surveillance cameras.

Which human ear ? My partially deaf mate ?

Not when you ensure that they cant spend any of your money.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that’s saying something.

Mine work fine as long as I avoid some obvious hard to distinguish words like disturb and disturbed.

< unrelated to his wife, or even making a call.

Just another steaming turd of a design. My iphone never does that.

Neither does the echo dot or the google home mini.

The only real, quirk is that alexa is too stupid to try to work out who is saying the word alexa so if you play a youtube with alexa commands in it, it will accept those.

The iphone doesn’t, its trained your voice so even visitors cant tell it what to do.

What do you think the O means in wog?

It's an acronym, it means "Westernised Oriental Gentleman". It can therefore only be used for Chinkies.

Had you bothered to read at the Wiki you'd have seen:-

//Suggestions that the word is an acronym for "wily Oriental gentleman", "working on government service", or similar, are examples of false etymology.[8][9]//

Read Wikipedia!

What if I'm on the phone saying kinky things to a woman?

But the possibility is there. It's like having sex in a greenhouse.

What's money to do with it?

There are f*ck all of those around here, as I keep telling you.

A normal human. Anyway, your partially deaf mate will not make assumptions and go ahead and order you a world cruise if he's unsure what you said.

Humans have no trouble distinguishing those, and if they're unsure, they either use context or ask you to repeat.

Uh.... you both have the latest iphone.

Even the owner can't tell it anything, because it's deaf as f*ck.

Depends what site you believe.

more specific next time.

You already posted almost this post before.

But that is require to turn the words into the information you are asking for or the action you have requested. So there is no point in having that level of computer power in an echo dot or google home mini to avoid sending the audio back to amazon or google so the mindlessly paranoid who are too stupid to check what gets sent back to amazon or google is no more than they say gets sent back.

But when it obviously does need to send what it interprets the voice to have said outside of your house, there is no point in having that level of computer power in an echo dot or google home mini to avoid sending the audio back to amazon or google so the mindlessly paranoid who are too stupid to check what gets sent back to amazon or google is no more than they say gets sent back.

Stupid way to do things with the low end of echo and google home devices.

But it does make sense to do the interpretation of the voice outside the low end echos and google home devices.

And much easier to update the interpretation algs that way too.

But of no interest to me when turning the do not disturb off.

Its actually better than some humans I know.

Makes a hell of a difference in fact when the another has a lot more horsepower and voice recognition specific hardware and the storage for the vast raft of accent variations as well.

But doesn’t send that anywhere unless it believes has heard the trigger word. And its trivial to monitor how well it does that.

But have no way of knowing if the spooks have got them to keep recording even after they have been turned off.

The mics still work fine and how do you know that the thing that you think is the camera actually is, and that it doesn’t have more that they don’t let you see so they can snoop even when you have played silly buggers with sticky tape and turning it to face the wall.

They do in fact work fine.

That’s bullshit with your phones,

Pity about the phones and the bugs the cops have put in your hovel.

Even you should have noticed that 'i' and u are adjacent and that n and m are adjacent if you hadn't wanked yourself completely blind.

You're projecting as always.

You are wrong, as always.

You just stuff s*it thru their letterboxes. That’s much worse.

They would be tapping your phone, stupid because that gets both sides of the conversation, stupid.

So is them tapping your phone so that they can hear everything in the house even you arent using the phone.

Nothing like in fact. With you in the greenhouse they would be laughing at her having to use a magnifying glass to find the microdick.

That’s the only potential downside that matters with alexa or google or siri, that it can order in error.

Still enough to catch you streaking and hooning around in your stupid frog car.

No such animal.

He does actually. Like many partly deaf people, they try to hide their partial deafness by making assumptions about what you have said.

Trivial to ensure that alexa cant do that.

That’s bullshit with normal human conversation.

So does alexa.

So does alexa, and repeats back to you what it thinks you have said and ask you to confirm when it matters. And displays what it thinks you said on the screen too.

I don’t. He can't speak properly ? His problem.

He voice is f***ed. Likely as drug crazed and blotto as you.

I think we agree that there is stupid (or at least risky) behavior involved, but we probably disagree on what the stupid behavior is. I would say the stupid behavior is allowing these kinds of devices to exist in one's home.

There are a few problems with your approach.

- There are endless reports of these devices turning on without actually hearing their trigger word. Amazon acknowledges the issue and says they are working on a software update.

- Since it doesn't always take a trigger word to turn them on, you're reduced to staring at the device continuously so that you know when it has turned itself on. Staring at the device is not something that most people want to do.

- There are reports that the devices record without any indication, i.e., no blue light or any other indication that the device is awake. That's easy to understand, as the blue light is controlled by software and not a hard switch of any kind.

You can listen to your own Alexa archive here.

Do you think every recording starts with the trigger word? That's a trick question. The answer is no, for many people.

Stupidity, yep.

Yep.

More fool you. In fact they work fine and anyone with even half a f****ng clue checks on what new technology devices are doing and sets them up in such a way that even if some glitch does show up, its just a yawn at most.

Nope.

And trivial to check if that is happening because they ALL give you an indication that that has happened.

And since it has never happened to me, and I will notice that if that happens, it's a complete f****ng yawn for anyone with even half a f****ng clue.

And I couldn't actually care less if it does in fact happen and someone gets a message with a conversation here.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something. Where mine is, its obvious when when its been triggered without actually staring at it continuously.

Not something that is necessary to do.

And trivial to detect if that happens.

Still trivial to detect if that happens.

So its trivial to check if it ever does activate without the light coming on.

Mine has never done that.

I know it does.

BULLSHIT.

And you'd notice the blue light and it speaking while you're both mid orgasm?

Some people do care about their privacy.

So you think most Alexa users have the technical knowhow to do this?

Why do people believe Amazon about this? Obviously they could easily be lying. And why on earth does anything need to be sent whatsoever? "All of your interactions with Alexa are encrypted in transit to Amazon’s cloud where they are securely stored." No no no, the chip in Alexa should interpret the soundwave, decide what word you said, then act on it. You really do not need data to go to Amazon to turn your lights on.

Depends on whether you f*ck with the lights on or only on the carpet during the day time or in the garden.

Most don't care enough to never use a mobile phone when out of the house.

Even you should be able to click the link and see what alexa has captured in your place.

And it would be trivial to have an app on the phone for those too stupid to click on a link.

You wouldn't see a little blue light even in the dark if you were preoccupied.

But they won't discuss private matters when someone is with in hearing range. The problem with an Alexa is you don't know who is listening or when.

Oh and Amazon wouldn't lie about that and omit some stuff? You are so f****ng naive.

Only if your f*ck with your eyes closed.

Understandable in your case.

Corse they do. And in the hair dressers too.

Corse you do, the light is on when its listening and trivial to prove that.

Trivial to check that.

Nope, I have enough of a clue to be able to check what they claim.

Even you should be able to manage that if someone was actually stupid enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a while cane.

That is such an Aussie sounding name.

Streuth! I'm off to Bunnings to get some screws for the patio!

Or, "Yer flies are low, yer bunnings are hangin out! Look at yer bunnings! Everybody can see yer bunnings!"
