paulbates Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) There are a number of news outlets covering this release from Amazon: starting Friday 3/28, ALL local audio recordings will be forwarded to Amazon for processing, and not locally. Quote Amazon’s Echo will send all voice recordings to the cloud, starting March 28 Amazon Echo users will no longer have the option to process their Alexa requests locally, which means all of their voice recordings will be sent to the company’s cloud. Ars Technica reports that on Friday, Amazon sent an email to customers who have “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” enabled on their Echo smart speakers and displays, stating the company would stop supporting the privacy-enhancing feature on March 28. Expand I had Alexa enabled on my Ecobee thermostat and it worked well for a number of months. A few months ago I started assigning my IoT devices the nextDNS privacy enforcing DNS address and Alexa started having problems, so I shut it off then. Edited March 16 by paulbates Quote
