my family is moving into a much bigger house than we used to have. we use amazon echos as an intercom system through the announcement feature. because our house is bigger, i’m being forced to get one myself for my room. i haven’t needed one for years because i use their app on my phone and i can see their announcements as a notification and i can also kill off most of its tracking by DNS. unfortunately my parents don’t understand this and are forcing me to get one. what can i do to limit its tracking?
sorry for asking a question about privacy in a privacy community. i can’t just not use it because my parents are forcing me to use it. if i was allowed to unplug it, i would.
Do it anyways. Everyone has a right of privacy no matter the age.
You should hire a nicely-dressed and polite person to simply relay your messages in person. And while not needed, they could be tending to other tasks, like your laundry or maybe tending the garden…
Give em the ol’ Blizzard treatment;
Don’t you guys have phones?
Divorce
“Sorry mom and dad, half the house and your wealth is mine now.”
I’m pretty sure it would be a spouse
OP lives with their parents.
Unplug it
Amazon doesn’t want you to know this one trick
Who is forcing you?
You can just read his post to find out.
Nope, the post doesn’t say.
