I bought an Alexa echo long before I actually cared about privacy and I regret it a lot. It's been a pricey paper weight since then. I wish I could flash some kind of OS and use it as a sound bar or something. I can't even use the Bluetooth without signing in with amazon account, which requires a lot of data including phone number.
