CNET reported a few weeks ago that Amazon is preparing to remove a key privacy setting in its smart home devices. Today it goes into effect. Here's what it means.

Everything you say to your Echo device will be sent to Amazon to improve Alexa+, the tech giant’s new subscription-based assistant.

As Amazon puts the kibosh on blocking Alexa voice recordings being submitted for analysis, what do the March 28 changes mean to your privacy?

As of March 24, you can get an Amazon Echo Dot (newest model) for just $39.99 at Amazon. That's a 20% discount and $10 off the list price. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is just one day away, and you know what that means: Tons of Amazon devices are going to be on sale.

Save 25%: If you're in the US you can save $10 on the Echo Pop in Amazon's Spring Sale. We love the Echo Pop for its sleek design and ease of use, but it goes far beyond serving purpose for blasting tunes, enabling you to communicate with other Amazon devices in your home.

Amazon's seasonal sale is in full bloom (until March 31), and we've tracked down over 150 of the deepest discounts on top brands like Apple, Beats, Lenovo, Samsung, and Sony.
