I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that.alexa! install an oligarchy!

Definitely not a complete FOSS setup but I decided to go the Apple route a self-hosted Homebridge for non Apple home-kit enabled devices.

I'm using a Pi Zero as a voice satellite with an additional mic hat and a speaker hanging off the audio output and it's ... ok
There's definitely much lower WAF with this option
The voice assistant has built-in audio which appears to be high (enough) quality and considering it's case, power, etc, not to mention funding the advancement of open source voice control, it's just overall “better”
If you've got a Pi lying around with a mic & speaker, definitely give it a go
WAF? Wow and flutter?

They delete the recording from your device....after it has been sent to Amazon to be stored and used limitless.
Ah I see, that changes it, we really need to adopt rules like Europe where they can only store your information for so long.

Duh. This why no one should have this tech as the arbiters can never be trusted with public saftey/good.
-
If you were using one, you were already okay with this.
Which Pinevox or Openvoice may be an alternative one day. I think I recall HomeAssistant had something in the works too.

everything you say to your echo/alexa has always been sent to amazon.
theres literally been leaks proving it.

Who the hell is the manufacture to decide if a remote feature no longer functions? (I'm guessing people don't rent these devices from Amazon - it's your property).
I don't need your concent, it's in your best interests - Amazon

Wife approval factor

If Corporations were people, they'd be disappeared in the night for stuff like this.
Which is why they're not people.
Why anyone would want some Tech company spybot sifting through their private experiences is beyond me, but that's definitely what they are doing.
Which is why they're not people.
But the C-suite and board are almost like humans. And that's even better for... things.

I thought so… I was like wait what dont they already have to process all that data?! And no doubt its in a db somewhere… thats just how things are done. Even if they werent a malicious company, they would still need to save the data to improve the product and for analytics..

You can buy an egg timer for a few bucks. They say the perfect number of words; zero.
I don’t need a timer though.

I have always told people to avoid Amazon.
They have doorbells to watch who comes to your house and when.
Indoor and outdoor security cameras to monitor when you go outside, for how long, and why.
They acquired roomba, which not only maps out your house, but they have little cameras in them as well, another angle to monitor you through your house in more personal areas that indoor cameras might not see.
They have the Alexa products meant to record you at all times for their own use and intent.
Why do you think along with Amazon Prime subscriptions you get free cloud storage, free video streaming, free music? They are categorizing you in the most efficient and accurate way possible.
Boycott anything Amazon touches
Yet, you probably use an Apple iPhone or an Android device. You should be avoiding all 3 of these, which I have been since inception.

You guessed that I use an apple device or an android. Your guess are the top two options that capture 99% of the market? Wow, super genius thought process
