reminder

Or maybe you don't install a data mining spy device in the office?

If the patient's name is Alexa, you're gonna have a bad time

If this is a medical facility, I'd never trust them ever again if I saw an echo there.

You're all missing the real kicker here - this sign is only here for the HIPAA auditor. Everyone knows that no one is actually going to mute the thing.

It's fascinating how people know that these devices break their privacy, yet they keep using them.

Why do they even have an Amazon echo if they know it's a fucking security risk? If you need a speaker, just get a speaker, not one a spyker (sorry, that was shite)

Maybe just don’t have any big tech surveillance devices in the hospital/clinic/whatever.

Friendly reminder to pause your bleeple before you buttlebode your over-driver. You do not want (CCF) cloud confederation forces to scuttle your bodes.

But Jeff Benzos is the biggest pharamcist in the world now, so it's fine

Shit like this is why I got a dumb speaker. It just plays audio, it doesn't have a battery (meaning that unplugged = zero power), it doesn't have wifi, it doesn't have an assistant, it just plays the music I ask it to play via Bluetooth.

And by muted they mean pull the plug

I hate it when acronyms aren't clearly defined... PHI stands for Protected Health Information.

muted thrown in the trash where it belongs

IoT and smart device security only means your data is protected from unauthorized access. It's up to the manufacturer, not the user to decide who can get in.

We're living in a dystopian future...

Big brother is listening...

FYI: Mutung the echo/Alexa/Google home/etc doesn't stop it from listening, just from making noise itself.

The HIPAA strikes again! 🤣

reminder that the google home tells you that the mic is muted if you call it. it's basically a telescreen. in the case of the echo show, it is literally a telescreen.
