Or maybe you don't install a data mining spy device in the office?

Is it any different than speaking in front of your smartphone?

I don't own an echo or Google whatever but I've definitely mentioned things and then got ads for that thing within the hour/day. Like cat litter when I don't even own a cat, just mentioned it once for cleaning up spills.

More likely there's a bunch of data points it can use. Coming within BT range of someone who does have a cat for example. Otherwise all the major smart phone companies would need to be in collision to keep the secret because the battery drain would be so blatant of it was recording, processing, transfering etc.

And all the articles that have said they aren't recording everything, I guess they would have to be in on it too.

So keep cell phone in lockers, no smart TVs, and no Alexa or similar devices.

Someone should invent the pocket microwave

They can call it the hot pocket

Sounds dangerous to have anywhere near your groin.

If this is a medical facility, I'd never trust them ever again if I saw an echo there.

IoT and smart device security only means your data is protected from unauthorized access. It's up to the manufacturer, not the user to decide who can get in.
