Last week, Apple announced the latest version of HomePod, their flagship speaker product. Naturally, I took a moment to browse its home page. Wouldn’t you know, it has “immersive, high-fidelity audio,” complete with Dolby Atmos and beamforming tweeters. Not only that, but HomePod is “a powerful way to control your smart home.”
In the UK there is a big push for "smart" meters. There is no benefit to having one except the joy of it being "free".
The design is two way so that energy companies can easily disconnect your electricity remotely. They can't do it with gas though, so yeah connect the dots ....
Homepods and Alexas will be Trojan smart meters with super powers: recognizing voices and words. Both a snitch and a henchman dishing out punishment, all in one tidy package.
The burning question on my mind is, did Alexa make it to the title of your publications based on the recent Alexa joke I sent you... If so she doesn’t scare me, like I said she can’t even turn herself on without me, so I live on freely, while she struggles to figure out how to plug herself in 😂 Happy Writing ✍🏼

Insightful and brilliant as usual! 🤩
I agree. I come across Alexa in other people's homes. Alexa is creepy.
Interesting article, thanks.
