    Yes, that is a legitimate use case for that technology.

    I do not consider myself anti-tech by any stretch of the imagination (I can put my hands on no less than five computers from where I’m sitting) and I want things like voice assistants and smart houses and whatnot for the benefits they can provide, but we’ve got to pry the invasive corporate bullshit out first.

        Like I stopped using fitness trackers on smart phones because I realized all of them want my data more than they want to be a value add to my smart phone purchase. I don’t want the power company to manage my thermostat because the power company isn’t on my side.
