Your microwave is spying on you
I have been busy. I meant to post this yesterday.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/03/13/yes-kellyanne-conway-just-suggested-trump-tower-could-have-been-monitored-through-tvs-and-microwaves/?utm_term=.2804375a055c
*snipped by me:
"In an interview with the Bergen Record, Conway muses about the possibility that such surveillance could be conducted through phones, TVs and even microwaves. Here's the exchange with columnist Mike Kelly:
KELLY: Let me ask you about one of the things that seems to be dogging, at least this past week, is the wiretaps — the allegation that Trump Tower was wiretapped. What can you say about that? Do you know whether Trump Tower was wiretapped?
CONWAY: What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other now, unfortunately.
KELLY: Do you believe that was …
CONWAY: There was an article that week that talked about how you can surveil people through their phones, through their — certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways. And microwaves that turn into cameras, et cetera. We know that is just a fact of modern life."

Re: Your microwave is spying on you
If you see a microwave that posts your meal pics directly to Instagram, let me know. 
But seriously, she must think Americans are a pack of flaming idiots. Meanwhile, the deadline for them to share credible proof was yesterday, and Spicer of course walked the initial claim back, saying he didn't mean wiretapping even though he said wiretapping.
At what point will Trump be held accountable by this nonsense?

Re: Your microwave is spying on you
She's referring to the "smart home" - a home where appliances are connected. Think of the Nest or Amazon Echo. Eventually everything in homes will be smart, connected, and controlled remotely.
But all that being said, that doesn't mean that anyone tapped Trump.

Seriously though, and unrelated to the wiretapping claims, what we be the purpose of a smart microwave? How far can you possibly from the microwave and still have a need to control it? I get a smart fridge, not that I would buy one, but I at least get it.

We have a "smart" home (lights, thermostat, TV) and I see no benefit to a smart microwave. You still need to get up and put what you need to heat up into the microwave.

To go along with my Internet enabled blender and toaster, of course!

I think she meant that is an *alternative* fact of modern life.
How does she sleep at night?

 I can't imagine how she functions.
