works for me and my lil projects lol

i don’t think the average consumer has even close to as much responsibility as large companies. if we all reduced our carbon footprint to zero as average people, we’re still on the fast track to global extinction

i hope he dies first

Lowe’s is cleaner anyway ngl

oooo.. HIPAA doesn’t fuck around

i mean yeah but my smartphone is typically downstairs while my office is upstairs, it’s pretty much on my person only when im bored, talking to someone, or pooping lol. i generally try to minimize my screen time and the amount of electronics that are immediately accessible to me, more for my own mental health than any underlying paranoia. but that is a fair point, and my argument against it would be moreso geared towards minimizing opportunities for unsolicited access points in my personal space

oooh smart!

i guess that’s fair, i have littles at home too, honestly i feel like i would just probably forget to use it if i had it lol. these things have never seemed worth it to me but i’m glad there’s people who enjoy them! im definitely not much of a consumer in many ways. i have a couple friends who basically have their whole apartments fitted with these or the amazon alexa one though

are your kids able to make online orders / purchases from these? that’s a deterrent also i’ve seen with the amazon ones is kids just started ordering shit willy nilly racking up charges

i have the paranoia where i don’t believe the switch is honestly cutting the mic lol, i will just continue to not have one of these. standard battery powered bluetooth speakers haven’t led me astray yet

i mean yeah absolutely that makes sense for accessibility or adapting a space for better independence, but i do believe that those circumstances are in the minority

not me i’m broke

“ok google, family room light on”

like have we really devolved to this point lol. do you think i should start saving up for my wall-e scooter now or just take out a loan when the time comes

exactly! i don’t trust it for one second

right; i still use a bluetooth speaker from back in the day. holds up great and gets loud enough for a pool party, win/win

if you trust the mic switch!

as soon as i can ask one of these speakers a question like that; i might consider getting one

idk how people can have these items in their home and reasonably think they’re not being listened to
