This is silly. You can unplug your smart speaker any time you want, and then both it and the microphone are off.

“Officials attributed the deadline extension to the “extraordinary volume of consumers” trying to sign up for health insurance.”

Let’s see who made a non-event (animals eat other animals! omg!) sound the weirdest.

You know what I want for Christmas?
