    Look I’m 48 and I get it. I get the Russian level paranoia about people accessing my data. What you’ll find is there are a lot of people that are aware and genuinely don’t give a shit.

    We are old enough to know that if you want privacy don’t use technology.

    Jesus Christ just yesterday I had to tell my oldest to watch what he says because he mentioned Luigi wasn’t wrong. I told him I agree but I explained they’re all listening and pointed to the alexa, the TV, his phone, his laptop.

    Privacy is a farce. You can make it harder which I’m all for but if someone wants the data they can get it. You have secrets keep them to yourself. That is privacy.

    Anyways, rant from someone with 25 years in Corporate IT. It’s all theatre.

      This is why the amazon dot in my house sits unplugged most of the time. I use it as a bluetooth speaker for my laptop, otherwise it is the extra chunky coaster I sit my coffee mug on. For real.
