My girlfriend gave me an Alexa assistant as a gift with all good will, since she knows I like technology. I know in terms of privacy it is garbage, however I wonder if there is a safe way to use some functions of this device, perhaps without internet. Some way to hack it or something, do you guys know something about this?

    And how can we be sure that it isnt sending data when it isn’t called by the wake word?

      You can use Wireshark to sniff the packets leaving your network. I use a PiHole to see all of my network traffic.
