They have some pretty sweet deals on faraday cages and tinfoil hats!
Real paranoid people build their own. Maybe they will sell an Amazon Alexa with a shiny cage preinstalled.
If he thinks they're not spying on you, then he is the one that needs the tin foil hat.
First, your comment makes no sense. 2nd, spying? I guess if you mean aggregating data on users, sure. If you mean actually listening in on my day to day activities, no. Why would they? Not that I have anything to hide anyways. My life is boring and would be pointless for most to pay attention to. So are most people's lives who own alexas and fire TVs and whatnot. Why would they bother wasting their time on the tremendous amount of resources it would take to do that, not to mention the potential legal ramifications? There is no value in it for them.
That's exactly what I would say...IF I WORKED FOR AMAZON!!
Alexa, where's my Reynolds Wrap?
Those don't sound very fun.
We probably almost get our moneys worth from music and movies, but to rarely have to step into Walmart is priceless.
I will say I'm always curiously fascinated by the $30 Kindle Fire 7" color tablet vs the $400 similar size Ipad Mini. They really aren't that far off each other and I've owned probably nine or ten Apple computers. I use an iPad pro to draw on in creative meetings but it's not like the Mini would work well for that, as a streaming video/web browser which is what the iPad Mini is the Fire does its job almost as well.
Anyone considering the Fire 7 tablet should consider the Fire HD 8, depending on the purpose. It's not just bigger -- it has a higher resolution screen, more RAM, more internal storage, better battery life, and better speakers. We have a couple of the Fire HD 8 tablets for the kids, and they are really good for the price.
At $30 (or 2 for $50) vs $50 (or 2 for $80), both are very good deals for what you get.

I decided to go with 7s because they are 4.5 and 2 and won't know any different so it seemed like a good way to save $50. Now if I was buying for myself...
Tried to use a Kindle Fire to control a drone and it was not good. Ended buying a Samsung Tab. Fires are good for browsing and reading and that's about it.
I don't think a .edu address is enough anymore. Last year I had to use my grad school .edu address AND a proof of current enrollment (such as billing statement or dated student ID) to get the discount. I graduated so I can't do the student discount anymore.
That's pretty cool! Can you link that specific one?104$ for this disc golf basket is a really good deal, I bought 4
