As most of the Lemmy users are security/privacy minded, after a question about alternative voices I’m wondering. Why would you allow a virtual assistance to spy on you constantly? (Especially when you don’t need to due to other limitations)
And as a side note, is there a way to kill Siri completely on IOS (not just go trough all app settings and disable siri there)? (company phone, so alas not jail broken, Android is rooted and GA has been removed, as is the Google app itself)
I use one to set timers for cooking and to play music on Spotify/radio. Literally nothing else.
My son asks questions like what’s the biggest number or how many miles away is Poland or whatever. But not that often these days. Really it’s more of a speaker system in our house
I use my echo dots in this exact way! There really isn’t a great whole home audio system out there that can compete with it.
