@stevegrunwell *this is after - around 6 or 7 years ago I bought a Kindle fire that was the only model they had without an AI of a digital assistant automatically enabled, a few months after purchase, against my repeated refusal to grant it permission to turn on, the AI came on anyways & within a week of my near continually being irked & spooked by this, it dropped from my bag (with my neuropathy I didn't notice it then) & I accidentally drove over it. Even as for a day or so in some regards I was a little more frantic to find it crushed, I was equally relieved, as said device that was disobeying my commands was destroyed.
It's a mainstay of why I no longer have an ebook reader either, as I don't want said mess to repeat itself & why I don't really accept things that are "just grant it permission",as it's not the only AI I've had that's turned itself on, without said permission.
