I have one I got ad a gift years ago that I'd like to get rid of. Is there a good way to get rid of this thing without tossing it or giving my info away?
I received one as a gift too. Used it for about a week, got tired of it and creeped. So I pried it open, used a flathead screwdriver + hammer to chisel/smash any chips that looked interesting, and recycled it with some other e-waste.
I felt bad destroying a “perfectly good” device, but my reasoning was that the world is better off with one less of these spyware devices, and I resolved to never buy a smart assistant device again. I wouldn’t have destroyed it had I been more trusting of Amazon, but now I’m glad I did.
