    You’re argument is based on what a marketing company put in their marketing.

    But your response is

    with clarifications from the company

    So what the company says isn’t good enough… Except when it’s in your favor? You realize that both statement are “from the company”.

      Fight as long as you want, when they were called out on it they backed off. The technical aspects of this are not trivial, nor is the amount of data needed as anyone who has had an Alexa or similar spyware in their house will tell you.

        Audio is literally trivial amounts of bandwidth. You wouldn’t notice it at all. Using something like Opus, you could stream audio 24/7 and reach about 300MBs uploaded. Now do some basic trimming/word processing… That number can easily be less than 10MB a day.
