my family is moving into a much bigger house than we used to have. we use amazon echos as an intercom system through the announcement feature. because our house is bigger, i’m being forced to get one myself for my room. i haven’t needed one for years because i use their app on my phone and i can see their announcements as a notification and i can also kill off most of its tracking by DNS. unfortunately my parents don’t understand this and are forcing me to get one. what can i do to limit its tracking?

    Developing countries probably don’t have like 4 amazon echos in the house as an intercom system though, tbf.

      You’d be surprised what stuff has a higher priority for purchase.

      IMHO the only reason they don’t is because they don’t know how to use it or do not care…
