    This sounds like a job for malicious compliance! Anybody got a Lenny bot for Alexa?

    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.
