In perhaps the singularly snarky (yet fundamentally true) privacy piece posted targeting privacy invading smart devices on El Reg in the past couple of weeks, comes reporter Alistair Dabbs' jaundiced (and highly entertaining) focused, tech-askew-world-view of so-called 'smart speakers', and other detritus emanating out of the 'robber-baron-age-of-tech'. Enjoy.
