Hands up who saw that coming years ago…

BTW, a whole lot of people still have Amazon Echo devices at home. You know that little Internet connected puck thing with an always on microphone that transmits what it hears to an Amazon data center for voice recognition, so people can do things like control their lights, control their music, order stuff just by voice. I'm sure Amazon, the same company behind the Ring cameras, would never abuse that for spying purposes.
