If the Elinore speakers can truly 'disappear', we could put out two of the Echo / Alexa devices and we might think they are making all the noise. I probably won't get them because I would lie awake at night wondering if they were set up with correct polarity. ray |

Roscoe, can you please elaborate on why? There’s a lot of info out there but it’s hard to know the value of the sources. |

A quick search revealed these alternate viewpoints. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/04/ex-nsa-privacy-expert-how-likely-your-amazon-echo-is-to-be-hacked.html https://www.pandasecurity.com/mediacenter/news/amazon-echo-security-risk/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/home/how-to-secure-your-alexa-device/ Personally I don't like the idea of talking to a computer. With my IT background and aura the damn computer is supposed to sense what I want it to do. ray |

Both are pretty useless widgets and a huge security and privacy risk. The will record all sounds in the home and upload to google/amazon if they are plugged in. Stay away from them. |
