The Google Home Mini: Great, right up until you want to smash it in fury

What paranoia - give it a break!

What a load of paranoia in these comments!

This IS early stuff in this sphere and the people who eagerly fork out their money will ensure that in years to come everyone will be able to benefit from this kind of technology, just as we (I) did with CDs, computers, laptops, mobile phones, electric cars etc.

So what if its capabilities are small at the moment? I love the fact that I can turn lights on and off anywhere in either of my two houses without resorting to (or spending money on) switches, or spending a minute getting up the right app on my phone. And if you want a weak joke, it's second to none!

I have to admit though, I haven't paid for mine as it runs on my Raspberry Pi, but how nice of Google to share it with us geeky nurds?
