Does anyone else text someone else in your own home if they are in another room? Am I just too lazy to go talk to them? Are you like me?

    I’m trying to train the rest of our household to use our voice assistant intercom feature.

    One of the kids hates that the intercom interrupts whatever she is doing, as far as she is concerned, she ignores everyone else and uses her noise-cancelling earbuds for a reason.

    Before anyone asks, I have already trained them to not say anything personal within earshot of the home assistants.

      Yikes. Prisoner in their own home?

        It’s a big reason I don’t want those things I’m my home. I know our phones are already doing it, but I don’t have to allow additional snooping mechanisms.

          Exactly right. There’s a bit of evidence that something like an Amazon device is worse about it than phones are too. I’m too lazy to go look it up but I’m pretty sure Amazon is always recording and storing human voices, or at least was at one time.
