What's with the recent influx of 'home assistant' gadgets? Who actually asked for these?
Even normalfags don't use Cortana, Alexa whatever on their phone yet now they want them in their homes apparently? There's a big push by Amazon to sell them on the Black Friday sales.
Is there some sort of agenda here or am I going full tinfoil?

>"Ding Dong! The best hidden locations in Mexico. With a 10% rebate for our regular customers."
>"Ding Dong! Our system detected that your condom reserve is running low. If you want to order a new package, please say "Give it to me, Alejandro!"
H...Honey?
People that actually own stuff are easily scared into buying "safeties"
You can sell it. And due to CISA (cyber-security information sharing act) anything a customer puts into a Internet based service can be sold without notifying the customer. So they can go "daughter of the house just had sex and did not wear a condom according to the internal camera or they said it and she's not on the pill... Might be a good idea to notify diaper manufacturers of a potential customer"
The fun thing is that these gadgets answers anything except if you ask if they are connected to the CIA. The Google one just restarts whenever you ask if it's connected to the CIA.
bingo
The CIA is the foreign intelligence service i.e. they worry about the rest of the world for the most part. The FBI is the domestic one.
And then there's the NSA. They just do whatever the fuck they want. That's who you should be worried about

Why is Terry worried about the CIA niggers?
In case you couldn't tell, he's seriously mentally ill.
Terry wants a free world not a free USA.
>suddenly every ad on every device is for salad spinners
>he does not block ads network-wide
You deserve to be spied on.
So, you're still getting spied on, you just don't get the ads

2bh it isn't the most thrilling smart device ever made, but it's more convenient than rewiring the rats' nest that the contractor made
>To who
I think you mean to whom.
There is no need to be pedantic. You understood what they meant.
Huh, got any source for the bold claim there?
