Not sure how you made that connection there! It's a self hosted app to save recipes, like actual food and stuff.

jt196on Show HN: Vanilla Cookbook – a deceptively simple recipe manager

Awesome man, I did chat with a mate about adding baker's percentages to the app, but I guess with scaling, you shouldn't really need to use them. Let me know how you get on, I'm basically on this for the moment, so happy to tweak any additions that are feasible and fit into the design ethos.

jt196on Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28

I'm a bit confused here about the reaction. My understanding is that Amazon are turning off local processing of voice commands on three of their devices.

According to Verge [1], this was only available on 3 devices: Echo Dot (4th Gen), Echo Show 10, and Echo Show 15 – and only for customers in the U.S. with devices set to English.

So unless you have any of these devices, and are in the US, with English as the main language, ignore the news. This is not going to affect you. If you do, then your device commands NOT everything you say within reach of the Echo device will be processed remotely.

I'm happy to be corrected here, but this looks like it's no news dressed as Nasty-Tech-Oligarchs-Doing-More-Nasty-Things news.
