Is DonDiego's TV Spying on Him ?

"Are your smart televisions, smart phones and smart fridges vulnerable to eavesdropping spies?
The WikiLeaks revelations that the CIA purportedly has the capacity to break into our everyday consumer electronics, still unverified when this story was published, raises that very troubling question."

DonDiego has never fully trusted his toaster, . . . so he's always behaved himself when in/near the kitchen. But if'n the CIA can see poor old DonDiego anywhere else in his house, . . . it would be troubling.

My Alexa is enough.

I suppose we can no longer watch TV in our underwear.

In Soviet Russia, TV watches you!

***Emptied***

While linking to websites displaying the recent instances of folks documenting Alexa shutting down when asked about any connection to the CIA, . . . and the subsequent correction to Alexa, where she now replies that she works for Amazon, . . . DonDiego's computer began acting up, . . . and he had to restart. [No Joke !]

He's deleted the links he'd posted in the immediately preceding post, . . . just in case.

The interested reader can Google the topic of Alexa and the CIA if he chooses to do so.

I just knew that toaster looked suspicious the minute she broght it home.

DonDiego, to answer your question posted within the subject line, "I'm not sure". I do suggest that you pull your pants up, however.

FYI, radio frequency can be picked up by anyone who has the know how and the equipment to do so.

This is the result of the home of tomorrow, as tomorrow is today......

Good thing my refrigerator isn't wifi capable, the store would be sending me frozen salmon and mandarin oranges.

Long before Snowden, at least pre-2004, I taped over my computer cam.

And my parents returned a smart tv at Christmas because they didn't like it. Me, I abhor all these "smart" devices and lack of privacy. I think it is crazy and scary. We have no freedom or privacy now.

I did think Snowden should have been charged with treason. Kind of still do, but did finally watch the movie the other day, which was sympathetic to his side of the story of course. It is a complex issue.

One of the main tennents of mental illness though is paranoia and our current society is definitely creating a blurred line with this topic.

I do give pause to the movie the matrix more often too now.
