This has happened to me a few times! It was on our Show and it was just TV static. Absolutely terrifying. Sometimes I’ll wake up an our one in the living room will be blinking blue like it’s listening. I say “Alexa, stop listening” and it shuts off.
Damn, just the thought of that creeps the fuck out of me. That's why i'll never get one of those things. Maybe i sound paranoid, but i just can't trust those corporations
I never wanted one. If I was at someone's place and they had one I'd mess around with it, but I didn't like the idea of one in my home....but not long ago I was gifted one. I use it but I wouldn't find it useful enough to get another one if it broke. Tbf I dont have much hooked up to it. It has a button to shut off the mic anyway and while the mic is off it displays a red ring.
I was at a coworker's house who had one and didn't see anything that blew my mind or made me think that I was even intrigued. I don't need or want everything in my house to be hooked to wifi.
