My partner got one of these things, ive wanted to take a hammer to it but they find the convenience of it "nice" so whatever.

My partner likes to play like ambient music thats meant to make you feel better, whenever I come near the thing it will literally go to this rythym that is just a strange fucking clicking. It drives me up the wall.

Anyway, ive noticed through the router that this thing is constantly sending/receiving lots of data.

What else could it be doing but listening and sending it back to the servers lmao.
