Amazon Is Using Your Conversations With Alexa to Train AI - Lemmy.World

I’m never putting one of these in my home.

I will be the last person to not have a smart home. There will be a banner over the doorway: “Welcome to Stupid House”.

There will be a small cover charge.

You can have a privacy-first smart home. I have. I run Home Assistant in a docker container. No external services/plugins. My smart doorbell streams to my local nvr. If my internet is down, everything keeps working. And it's not even that hard anymore. It's become a lot easier over the last 2-3 years. Still not for non-techie users, but a lot better.
I’m not tech illiterate by any means, and everything after “home assistant” in that post is Greek to me
Docker is a way to run containers. Basically lightweight virtual servers. That makes it easy to run multiple servers on one machine. An NVR is a network video recorder. It's like a video security system like they use in stores where all cameras are viewed and recorded in a single place. I assume you know what a doorbell is 😄
