Amazon is going to be disabling the privacy feature that processes voice commands locally on Echo devices at the end of this month. Instead, all voice commands will be sent to Amazon's cloud for processing.
I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:
1. Unplug Echo Device
2. Throw Echo Device in Trash
3. Done
@mookie Never bought one.
Yes, I have an Apple speaker, but I only use it as a speaker, and for that it sounds very good. Never use it as a listener.
