And by pull the plug I mean smash it with a fucking hammer

I was going to say. Can you even mute them?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, there's a dedicated mute button that literally cuts power to the mic.

Has that been verified by somebody independent?

Yes, third parties have published complete hardware teardowns of various Echo devices. For what it's worth, I've also personally reviewed multiple Echo device schematics, and have nothing to gain from lying.

Sounds like something that someone who has something to gain from lying would say.

Heh. I'll continue to badmouth Amazon for all the internal and external bullshit they pull, but during the decade I worked there, they actually took privacy and security seriously for the in-house devices.
