@dev Dear Amazon: I am writing to let you know that my tacit agreement to not smash my Alexa with a hammer will no longer be upheld beginning March 28th, 2025

@dev Time to smash your Echo and send it in to Amazon.

@dev "... And that's when I disconnected Alexa devices and moved to HomeAssistant instead."

@dev @amber

Dear Echo Customer. You'll pay us and we'll spy on you. Pray we don't share your conversations with Trump.

@dev Freedom without privacy? Forget about it with techno-feudal lords!
Jeff Bezos, through Amazon, has donated $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund for his second term in office. This donation aligns with other tech giants, such as Meta which also contributed $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee. Bezos has been noted for his personal engagement, praising Trump on X following the election victory and expressing a willingness to work with the president-elect. Now let's store -all data- from careless folks using Amazon products, so we could flags them as woman, gay, black, trans, migrants etc… and deny them entry, or better: deport them.

@dev no doubt you can get 100% refund on your device and compensation for your inconvenience. Your screen shot must have cut just above that bit 🙄

@dev I'm happy with my decision to never let one of these devices in my home.
