My friend Jane has her iPad (Siri) listening to her and sometimes it comes on by itself and Siri asks her what she just said or something. Must have a new guy at the NSA spying on her.
I will never have any automation at home. Those gadgets are too easily hacked to become part of a botnet or to spy on you. Police are already trying to get warrants to seize those devices that can hear/record you and to modify them so that they can tap you at will. As long as they
swear to a judge that you are a no goodnik and they need to know what you are up to.
Keep yer new-fangled gadgets. I'll just do it by hand. And get off my lawn!
