For Christmas I received an Amazon Echo, a smart speaker connected to the internet. It is accessed via the Alexa app. I can say, "Alexa, what is the temperature?" "Alexa, play Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit'." "Alexa, what is on my calendar tomorrow?" "Alexa, what are some nearby strip clubs?" Voice commands are fun and the speaker plays music with high fidelity.
Did any of you receive interesting Christmas presents?
i figured i would like them.........but i enjoy them a lot more than i expected. they're great. highly recommended if you don't mind spending a lot on headphones/earbuds
Those things creep me out. I know my phone can record everything I say just like the Alexa/Google Home, but the device specifically made to do it really creeps me out.
I've used it to turn my house into a smart home. Can tell Alexa to adjust the thermostat, lock and unlock doors, turn on lights, and even control the vacuum. It's been a fun little hobby, but the add-ons for all the features aren't always cheap.
