What are the chances they haven’t been doing this the whole time?

Good thing we canceled Prime, deleted our account, and got rid of that bitch.
We did the same. Amazon can get fucked.
They can go suck a fuck
This sounds like a job for malicious compliance! Anybody got a Lenny bot for Alexa?

Did you read the article? Certain models have an option to handle recognition locally. That option is what’s going away.
And no, a device doesn’t have to call home to recognize the wake word. The microphone loops on a local cache waiting for the wake word.
You right, my bad. Prolly shouldn’t try to post while high.
This cannot be legal… at least not in the EU.

“Raise volume”
This isn’t at all surprising or really alarming to me as read. Yeah, you can’t process locally, but I’m surprised you could at all before. I don’t believe you’ve ever been able to with Google.
What I’m more concerned about is how long until it’s always on recording - if it’s not already.
“ohhh, our wake word detector is a little too sensitive, but don’t mind it!”
Google’s speakers have had local voice processing for basic commands for years now. Things like toggling power on lights or changing TV volume. They’re also expanding that locally processed control into then being run through the Matter standard so the whole chain is done locally. I have personally verified the local processing on my own network traffic.
