| > The main issue with smart speakers And? Your phone is with you 24/7 > they have access to continuous power I don't know about you but my phone hasn't run out of power in months. > this doesn't mean that they aren't less dangerous No one is saying that they aren't dangerous, you're missing the point. What I'm saying is if you carry a smartphone around, that's just as risky. Therefore, it's hypocritical to warn against smart homes unless you also don't have a smartphone. > Smart speakers also have better range than smartphones But smartphones are literally next to you at all time, they don't need better microphones. |
It's not hypocrisy to warn of dangers, regardless of being exposed in other ways. Also, your comment here equates 'smart speakers' with 'smart homes', which are not the same thing (yet).
This conversation can only progress when you consider the actual threat models (like security folks talk about). It seem strange to me to rant about the risks of smartphones vs smart home devices, when the data from both of those is potentially ending up with the same small set of companies.
