I was given a "Nest Hub" by a family member, I'm very privacy conscious. What can I do with this thing? (reddthat.com)

Feel really guilty, my one family member gave me this. I don't use much google stuff anymore and I really dislike the company as it gets more intrusive. Is there anything I can do with this thing besides give it away? Nothing is worse than getting a gift that you can't use.

I don't have a TV. That's why the nest thing is so odd. It does seem like it would bw fun to tinker around with.

It's handy - turn on/off lights, adjust thermostat, set reminders (like to remember cat medicine) or cooking timers. We had the Google one but switched to the Alexa one So i could 'drop in' on my mom and set it to call me if she said HELP.
