My girlfriend gave me an Alexa assistant as a gift with all good will, since she knows I like technology. I know in terms of privacy it is garbage, however I wonder if there is a safe way to use some functions of this device, perhaps without internet. Some way to hack it or something, do you guys know something about this?

    What are you talking about? All Alexa Speakers I own or have encountered support bluetooth playback from other devices just fine, and at least the older ones also have a 3.5mm jack.
