I have a wifi router but I took off the removable antennas. It still works but its range is greatly reduced. It covers all the rooms in my house but I dont get wifi in my driveway or backyard. That's fine with me. There is no reason for my wifi to extend out so neighbors a 2 blocks away can see my wifi. Might go wired eventually. But they make faraday cages for wifi or stuff like that. Most today are way overpowered. At least from a emf standpoint. Just need it powerful enough to reach the room's you commonly use it in. Some faraday cages still allow the wifi to work just greatly reduce its range. Also this doesn't slow it down. It seems to be more of an all or nothing thing. If I'm getting at least a few bars on the wifi I still have full speed internet. More bars doesn't make it go any faster.

Sometimes we might need devil to eliminate another devil. Can we use this Alexa to spy on somebody that is doing drug. Example: let's say you suspect, or you are sure that somebody is doing something and we would use alexa just to double sure. And then you call the cops saying hey you need investigate some stuff in such place. Come here and get it. You know those signs we see in residental areas: -Watching crimes-. So it would be another method to watch our neighborhood.

I've often wondered why voice processing needs to happen away from the system. I remember playing with some basic voice commands with Mac OS 9 on a G3 iMac (400Mhz if I recall correctly) in the late 90s. I'm pretty sure any phone or computer today is more powerful than that. I expect the modern stuff does a lot more (perhaps that language detection stuff, but it would seem like it should be doable if it was done before with less powerful hardware.

I have a TV, smart TV? and most I watch is UTUBE. It's strange the TV is on, I am watching, but then I turn my back to the computer sometimes I leave the TV mute, why the TV turns off by itself, like a screen saver. I guess it's a built in setting. It's strange what the TV does not stay on the video I was watching, instead of changing to screen saver and sometimes turns off without me turning off. Is this built in unsafe?

The only thing is that from 2020 any devices that -provide- settings to turn off spying - fake. You may feel calm with these settings that are looking good visually but internally all these things still working for google and we are not able to disable. I would like you to talk about degoogled phones when we download google apps to it from say apkpure or apkmirror, still google getting access to this phone?

I have 3 pixel xl one was activated on AT&T towers through red pocket the other 2 are now activated the same way. 2 were replacing a Motorola g7 (mislaid 1 for a while so it was replaced with the other) the last replaced a iphone 6+.
That said I note some people have had device canceled when they moved sims from one phone to another on AT&T even when they were the same model.

Whenever you say -this is pretty basic stuff- I realize just how zucked I am. There is no way the average person can keep up with this. It is incredibly immoral that these companies are allowed to sell us technology without a clear understanding of the risks involved. There is a reason why we now live in fear, but it isn't the reason they want us to believe. We are doomed.

Smart TVs, too. Vizio got fined $2. 2 million by the FTC over their -Smart Interactivity- feature/spyware. It would take one screenshot, per second, of whatever is onscreen. TV shows, web browsing, writing e-mails, entering credit card info -- they snagged it all. Documentation didn't explain it, and it was opt-out; switched on by default.

I had a guy ask me what radio he could buy to use as a second listening device to his baby monitor. I asked for the info on the nameplate. it used spread spectrum. To my knowledge, you can't monitor something using spread spectrum unless you know the bands, frequencies, scan pattern and the radio clock is synched with the monitor.

You need a development team!
What do you think about ubiquiti?
Also, I just switched to AT&T fiber from cable. I've always used my own modem and router but AT&T requires I keep modem (or whatever) plugged in to my network for service. Can i make it respect my privacy or is it just found to do whatever it wants?
