I'm more worried about this Alexa that seems to be in everyone's and pretends to not understand half of what they are saying. What's she really up to??I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards. If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

https://news.sky.com/story/watchdog-to-issue-new-guidance-after-report-finds-air-fryers-may-be-listening-13273180The article actually goes on to suggest three air fryers "wanted to record audio on their owner's phone", which suggests some sort of app to control the device. I doubt its the fryer itself that's actually doing anything aside from blowing hot air around in an enclosed space (that's all that technology basically boils down to)4 -
I have an Alexa.I bet GCHQ have me on a "Persons of Interest" list by now!They don't even need to use the backdoor into my 'phone calls, faithful Alexa hears them all.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

At least with an air fryer you have plenty of tin foil left over….3

Very unlikely. Your fridge is too frigid and your washing machine is MUCH too clean-minded to have an affair....1
