"Alexa is always listening. Listening for that trigger word or anything that sounds remotely like it,
so that it can spring to life and serve up an action or answer."

Supposedly, only what you say after "Alexa" is recorded, but anything can be recorded during listening!
Apparently, Amazon is trusted not to record everything the device hears while waiting for "Alexa".
However, guests may prefer to know about this potential eavesdropping.

At least we know to say good things about Alexa (when she's listening).

About Wi-Fi calling (new & improved way of cell phone usage) ...

Re: https://www.androidcentral.com/volte

"Wi-Fi calling tech is nearly identical to HD Voice from the user's perspective in that it uses a Wi-Fi data connection to complete the call instead of LTE data. On all carriers, you can expect an increase in quality as long as your connection is solid. This can be essential for people that work or live in the concrete brutalist buildings that were commonly built in the 70s and 80s that block outside cell signals."

Note: Reception may be better but Wi-Fi calls are not free:

"Today, all carriers count HD Voice/VoLTE calls toward the minutes in one's monthly bucket and not data, even though VoLTE uses the same data network as video streaming or browsing the web. But for carriers like Verizon that support video calls under the VoLTE standard, the voice portion of a chat will use minutes, while the video portion will use data."

"Dallas restaurant group is getting hit with scathing reviews over a 3% fee to fund employees' healthcare and time off"

"To the criticism that restaurants should simply raise their menu prices to pay for additional labor costs,
Agar says that would make the cost mandatory for all patrons, even those that don't agree with him on this issue.
A separate fee is 'more empowering' for guests who want to support a change in the industry, he said."

That "diners can ask to have the charge removed" may not be so easy and asking to have it removed
may overtly identify the customer as less desired clientele. Obviously (IMO), businesses now prefer to add fees
instead of raising prices directly because they will lose customers. But this hints that continuing customers
can't do the math about their real costs.

"Male menopause, which doctors admit is a bit of a misnomer, is medically known as andropause."
