Shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes to prove me wrong. Please do!

[-] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 11 months ago

It shouldn't take me more than 5 minutes? Why's that?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Because - as I've explained in the comment you replied to - it's pretty easy to check it for yourself. Unless you believe that an Echo has a secondary cellular connection that's only used while muted, any traffic must go over your configured connection.

Just look at the amount of transferred data while it's muted. If there is data (beyond extremely low background traffic) I'm wrong. If there is no data, you're wrong.

This is not some hypothetical metaphysical principle we're talking about, it's a product that you can analyse yourself. Put up or shut up.

And I can do that all in 5 minutes without owning one?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Easily. The device doesn't care who owns it, you can use one owned by another person.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 0 points 11 months ago

I don't know anyone who owns one either.

But go ahead, do your experiment and report back. Should only take you 5 minutes to prove your claim.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Why should I do it, when plenty of people have already done so, and reported the results I talked about?

Are you unable to Google, or are you acting willfully dense?

First example I found: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00779-018-1174-x

Lol that looks like 5 minutes of work to you?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

No, a study that studies way more than what I described doesn't look like 5 minutes of work to me, why would it?

[-] null@slrpnk.net -3 points 11 months ago

So you gonna spot me the $40?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Why would I? Why isn't the study I've linked sufficient?

Why do you want me to disprove something you should easily be able to prove, and that other people have already disproven?

[-] null@slrpnk.net -2 points 11 months ago

The study you linked is behind a $40 paywall

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago
  1. Have you never heard of Sci-Hub or other services to circumvent such paywalls?
  2. As I said, more than enough people have made such studies.

You could have easily figured out either of those if you were taking this conversation seriously. You obviously aren't, so I'll stop here.

[-] null@slrpnk.net -2 points 11 months ago

So that's a no on the $40?
