That smart speaker? Wiretap. That Wi-Fi camera? Surveillance node. That voice assistant you joked with last night? It’s logging tone, commands, proximity, and metadata.

dumb-everything is the way

Thank you for writing this. I needed to read it. This planted a seed for me.

What about just old-school Bluetooth, only on while playing music? I have no Echo/Google/Cortana/Siri divices. Just dumb shit, from like 2014.

Dumb stuff not always connected to the internet is the way to go. I finally switched over to a old school mp3 player for music and podcasts

Old mp3 players are neato. I also have an old speaker from 2016 that has a micro SD card reader in it, and it's also USB powered
