I tried to explain the privacy issues with social media to my parents and they thought I was schizophrenic.
But your parents *know you* and I presume *care about you*
Atkins knows.
READ WHAT ATKINS JUST SAID
So it's not entirely unsolicited.
REAAAAD IIIIIIIIIT
Like, you don't just go up and talk.
You **ass.**
I did read it.
Trying to explain how Alexa works, and they wouldn't believe me when I said that it has to listen to everything you say.
does screeching like a child help you get your points across usually?
I've had these conversations, on both sides.
It seems like you aren't being listened to.
But you are.
If it isn't listening to your voice and analyzing it for patterns how would it know when you said "Alexa"
Mormons came to my door one day to reassure me that the world wouldn't be destroyed during the end times.
That people would survive living the in earth.
@Atkins even better, its SO much worse than that
Yeah I know
As for privacy with Alexa, you can bring up the data leaks.
Or stuff like the Stasi. They'd know about that.
I was just trying to get my foot in the door to explaining the problems with these devices though.
I listened to their whole thing, twice. Then they asked me if it would be better if they didn't come back.
shes an older lass now
Or make analogies like people reading your mail.
Or HAL from 2001.
They don't get it man
Back when Trump was calling MS-13 animals
These are people who think dogs123 is a good password
I first asked my mom "Did you hear anything about trump today?"
"Yes"
or tell your parents "do you really want it listening to you having sex or talking about your white supremacist ideas?"
"About how he called people animals?"
that'll get em
"Yes."
Then they wonder why they keep having weird charges on their credit card.
"Did you hear about WHO he called animals"
"Mexicans."
"No. MS-13"
"What?"
