Really not keen on the idea of this kind of listening device in my home.

Mine's back in the box now. It kept piping up spouting the news headlines or the weather without being asked. It doesn't respond to just your voice either, you can watch something like this on your phone and it'll respond, despite your having supposedly trained it with your voice.

I have Siri turned off on my iPhone and iPad - I can live without there and no I don't have a smart TV.

Just because you've turned Siri off doesn't mean they're not listening, or indeed, have really been turned off. Do you tape over the cameras as well? Also, you may not have a smart TV now but your next one will be.

Non of my devices are Google, that's the main issue here. And my next TV may be smart but it won't be Google.

I don't like these things. I find the idea of talking to machines weird.

I read the thread title and wondered how to get myself one of these free Minis. Imagine my disappointment on reading the thread to find it wasn't a car.
