The whole smart speaker thing creeps me out just a tad. If Alexa is listening all the time, how do we know that she isn't sending packets of info 24/7 back to Mr Bezos? Tech firms like Facebook and Google have shown themselves to not be great with safeguarding our personal info. It only takes one person at such a company to abuse a treasure trove of gathered information. I already voluntarily carry a monitor that authorities can use to track my every move, i.e., my phone. Guess that's just my paranoia of repeated government abuse of personal privacy over the decades. How long before Alexa becomes HAL 9000 from 2001, lol?!

I hope your furball makes a quick recovery Saskia!

Good news on your recovery FBL! Hang in there!

Have a good day all!
