Then you are alone in this. Even amongst technological people, never mind the general public. This amount of time is perfectly reasonable.

No it doesn't. Slippery slope might be a valid argument in some places, but not here. You are overreacting.

There is no subtle switcheroo.

It's very very simple: It only sends audio when commanded to. That is the essence of the difference, and it's all that matters.

And don't tell me "next they'll send 1 hour of audio when triggered" because they won't. You are being ridiculous if you think that's where it's headed.

Taking outrageous positions like this just makes people ignore you.

> the trigger word (I feel dirty saying that phrase)

? Why? Does it have some special meaning I am not aware of?
