Yeah well is it just a coincidence that I had an app on this device that turned out to be owned by Baidu which is in turn owned by the Chinese government and which left files behind even after I deleted the app and after making that remark about spy parts being made in China (as with their Huawei phones) the Baidu spider begins crawling this site. Do we really want communist China spying on us, gathering all our data?
Psychotic, much?
You mock me now but just wait til Xi Jinping orders his minions to brick your machine in the middle of the night!

I think the sleep apnea machine must have a microphone in it to detect snores. So by changing the firmware, some entity might listen to every thing around your bed.

I could not find tin foil to make a hat. I used two layers of aluminum foil.
Well, I sneezed the other night and I could have sworn the machine said, "Bud'te zdorovy! Pozhaluysta, ostavaytes' v pole zreniya kamery!"
So not only is it listening, but it sounds like it's speaking Rooskie!
The government ought to do something! These things may be turning sentient!

I won't hold my breath.

And, yes, I mock idiotic rantings such as that.
