You can turn off all the monitoring, recording, etc..Don't know why anyone would install this shit in their house. They shut down someone's entire collection of smart devices based on a false allegation of racism recently. It's all very Orwellian.
Well yeah, but why should you have to? It was only the monitoring and recording in this case that actually proved the delivery person wrong. And at any point, your big corporate overlord can just decide, without any recourse, to remotely stop your devices from working. Devices that you assumed you've bought. It's part of this wider issue of buying something but not really owning it. I read a story the other day that LG were trying to boost revenue by having people set up a subscription for their fucking washing machines. Washing machines that they've already paid for, and probably twice the price because it's a 'smart' one. Or BMW putting massage seats into your car but then making you subscribe to a package to 'unlock' them.You can turn off all the monitoring, recording, etc..
That all sounds like LeaseLand to me,Well yeah, but why should you have to? It was only the monitoring and recording in this case that actually proved the delivery person wrong.

I don't have Alexa but I asked Google both questions and she said Manchester City for both.So I asked Alexa earlier who the CL winners 2023 are. She said Madrid. So I asked her again and she said Chelsea. So then I asked her who won the Treble in 22/23 and she said Manchester United. She is a hideous Rag woman and I have stamped on her and chucked her out the window. Go and, try it for yourselves and tell us.what she says. Because she is a lying Rag cow. I bet they put her in charge of VAR next season.
