@evan I go to aggressive amounts of trouble to ensure I never, *ever* have my voice recorded by a voice assistant, but it is true that every three months I accidentally activate a voice assistant some product doesn't allow you to turn off anyway. Like maybe a remote control has a voice assistant button you can't deactivate and I press it by accident. So I guess "monthly or less" is technically accurate.

@mcc I have purchased so many basic household electronics the past few years by the process of - "hmm, our [thing] is a little old and wonky, I wonder..." - *starts to do the research / comparison-window-shopping* - "oh FUCK, everything but the cheapest model has a microphone in it now" - *quickly purchases that one before it gets discontinued*I'm worried about what happens in a few years. I don't want to dive down the vintage [thing] rabbit hole every time I need to replace something!

@mcc (Ha, I like how, even here, with all the local/federated timeline browsing, "Andi retweeted my reply to her" can give a post of mine more reach than almost anything else.)

@klara @mcc Hope you have a steady hand to desolder microphones and such.
