@davepl1968 @grok investiga qué puede estar causando este uso de datos de un altavoz con Alexa si el usuario indica que no lo ha usado activamente. Qué razón explica esto?

@davepl1968 @malgordon Amazon sidewalk, say no to it and it stops.

@davepl1968 This why i jailbreaked mine. You lose some functionality but you can have much better by having your own system.

@davepl1968 Oof What tool gives you these stats? Is this your router?

@davepl1968 They upload your audio to Amazon servers and analyze it.

@davepl1968 They share your internet by default. You have to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk

@davepl1968 Utilize Pihole if you’re not doing so already.

@davepl1968 Read some comments, know some things about it: First of all: The Voice Activation is a two step process. The device locally listens for a call word. After thinking, it got called, it records his environment and sends this data to amazon to do all the things that needed to be

@davepl1968 A few possibilities, likely a combination. Even when you are not actively using it, it apparently can still send off audio to help its training. There is also the amazon mesh network called sidewalk which its devices automatically participate in, that will share your bandwidth

@davepl1968 It's audio recordings. It has to listen all the time to be voice activated. That's my guess. Gigabytes plural is still huge for audio though so no real clue. I'd swap them out for another model, maybe borrow one and see it's behavior. It sounds worrisome to me.

@davepl1968 This is the audio from inside your home the 6 mics are constantly recording, safely stored away from prying hands in the amazon cloud.

@davepl1968 You don't use it but Amazon does

@davepl1968 Can you block them? I'm been wanting to set up Pi-Hole or something similar

@davepl1968 Amazon sidewalk maybe? May be part of that global Zwave / zigbee / thread platform they were working on

@davepl1968 Why do you have that? Are you a retarded person?

@davepl1968 My understanding from past lawsuits where people have been murdered and amazon was subpoenaed, is that the devices, google too, record all audio and interactions especially for telemetry to see if the device is accidentally triggering. It’s not surprising it just streams it all

@davepl1968 Windows components as Task Manager, Windows Pinball, Calc, ZIPFolders, Product Activation, etc. Cheers! You know you don't have hardware sitting around doing nothing... if you can get it doing something !!!

@davepl1968 You know how you are randomly talking about "Shake Weights" from the 90's and suddenly Amazon shows up with "Shake Weights 2025 Redux!" :D

@davepl1968 your cupboards use more bandwidth than my phone

@davepl1968 Botnets, how do they work??

@davepl1968 Please disconnect those immediately.

@davepl1968 Either can't do client-side wake word detection or won't do it for «reasons»™

@davepl1968 Wdym they have to stream all your private convos to Amazon. That isn’t free buddy

@davepl1968 Andrew watches way more content than Steven.

@davepl1968 Ooooh, they're doin' something...

@davepl1968 they are listening to the birds chitchat all day dave

@davepl1968 I also never use them and they show different traffic characteristics.

@davepl1968 coz “FU” innit

@davepl1968 Mirror the port and do a pcap with wireshark ;)

@davepl1968 “Nothing at all”

@davepl1968 How do you get this detailed view?

@davepl1968 not the cupboard spying on you

@davepl1968 Can you do a deep dive into what traffic they are transferring? Would make for a good Garage episode.

@davepl1968 Problem with those speakers is hot mic-ing your house 24/7

@davepl1968 say the words car loan, and new socks next to them and all your devices probably suddenly get tons of advertisements for auto loans and and socks lol

@davepl1968 I had an Echo when I lived in a house with a totally soundproofed room I don’t live there anymore so the Echo stays unplugged
