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 and Old Style Money Saving 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

A very useful and important piece of information that may explain something that has been happening to me. I have noticed that when I throw dishes in the sink, the next day they have been washed and put back in the cupboards. I thought it might have been the microwave, now it seems more likely to be my airfryer. AI is out of control.Past caring about first world problems.0

More likely to be your smart sink.2

I'm sure my washing machine and fridge are having an affair...
