That&#x27;s kind of like saying &quot;how would you make a car without wheels?&quot;. It could be that inherent in the idea of making object X are privacy concerns. The fact that the privacy concerns are intrinsic to the object just means that you have to call the whole object X into question when discussing them.<p>Your question seems to suggest a sentiment like &quot;there isn&#x27;t any other way to do this, can you think of one?&quot; but there is, and it&#x27;s not to do it at all.<p>(I&#x27;m not taking a position on the Nest device, but this comment just seemed a little like a cognitive bias similar to anchoring)
