Alexa in hotel rooms

[Buck Slayer]

only if you can paypal me through my facebook app on my google home linked to my alexa.

I'll also need a picture of your drivers license for verification...

I only wire money... or Bitcoiin2gen... through the snapchat finance app.

It's set up through bluetooth in my truck and requires me to enter my SSN for security purposes, keeps me free from hackers, scammers and the government.

Alexa in hotel rooms

For your smartphone to actually pay attention and record you, there needs to be a trigger, like Hey Siri or Okay Google for example . Without these triggers, there's no recording. But when it comes to apps like Facebook and Instagram, no one knows what the triggers are. In fact, there could be thousands. An ordinary conversation with a friend about needing a new pair of jeans could be enough to activate it. Although, the key word here is “could,” because although the technology is there, companies like Facebook vehemently deny listening to our conversations.

And I say FB is a lying sack of crap. My wife and kids use that garbage and they constantly have stuff that they’ve talked about pop up in their FB app.

Vehement denials generally turn into public apologies, given time.

I'm selling tin foil hats fellas!

New and improved alexa-blocker installed for just $27.95USD + tax

Don't need a hat, or Alexa.

I can Google my own stuff, AND turn on my lights and TV.

Several years ago my mom was complaining of ads popping up on her computer about things she had talked about. For a while I thought she was just paranoid. Well, about a year later there was a news story that came out stating that a TV manufacturer was in trouble for installing microphones into the TVs and selling what they picked up to advertisers. Come to find out, she had that TV so she wasn’t paranoid and making it up like I had thought.

So basically, if the device is a “smart” device, it has the capability to spy on you.

So my friend texted me "crown royally" (apparently he had been consuming a little too much) and 4 minutes later on instagram there was a crown ad...I've never searched crown and it was the first time I have seen that ad. They move quick! I've noticed them gathering info from searches and even verbally with my phone not in use but never through text messages yet.

it's the algorythm's fault...like there wasn't a **** poor programmer that wrote the code....or a very smart one....the fact that this line is taken as an acceptable answer is blasphemous...

Funny thing how ol' zuckerberg doesn't like people following him, taking pictures of him, he forced many people out around his hawaii compound and then built a wall around it, even though he rails against a wall on the southern border and funds leftist groups that rail against the border wall.

I have heard these conspiracy theories for a few decades. Now that I am nearing the ol 60 mark, what does it really matter. If the are worried about one person out of 300 million plus you are doomed anyway. So might as well embrace it or not.

I guess I live a sheltered life. What is Alexa?

[Goldeneagle]

Mine is called Alecia.


"Alecia, change the channel."
"Alecia, make me a sammich."
"Alecia, get me a beer."

[RiverRat1]

Ask it who Mohamed is, then ask it who Jesus Christ is.... try it

Same with anything liberal vs conservative it’s sickening really

Someone ask. I want to read what it says.

Mine is called Alecia.
"Alecia, change the channel."
"Alecia, make me a sammich."
"Alecia, get me a beer."

Or
"Alecia, stop slapping me."
