The new Google Home Speaker has an issue where it downloads hundreds of gigabytes of data in the background for some owners.

      Technically, you’re not going to get spied on - intentionally or unintentionally - if you don’t have these.

      (Well… at least not by these…)

        Technically if you’re dead and buried you can’t get spied on by a Google speaker either…

      This “technical issue” can be solved by “pulling the plug”.

        Technically, pulling the plug will also solve all of my human meatbag issues.
