Does anyone else text someone else in your own home if they are in another room? Am I just too lazy to go talk to them? Are you like me?

Yikes. Prisoner in their own home?
It’s a big reason I don’t want those things I’m my home. I know our phones are already doing it, but I don’t have to allow additional snooping mechanisms.
Exactly right. There’s a bit of evidence that something like an Amazon device is worse about it than phones are too. I’m too lazy to go look it up but I’m pretty sure Amazon is always recording and storing human voices, or at least was at one time.
The local utility co tried to give me a free google thermostat. Nooooope.
Three decades ago, as a kid, the electric co-op put a device on our water heater that would limit energy to that specific device at times of high load. That was sensible, and had zero listening capabilities. It’s also as close as I want to get to (commercial) voice assistants.
