Alexa sucks

[Benjamin Grimm]

Zoe Perry is the actress who plays the mom on Young Sheldon.

Ask Alexa, "How tall is Zoe Perry?"

[metirish]

Alexa thought I said Zoe Curry and stated a height of 5'6", then I asked again and Alexa said Zoe Perry is 5'2"

[Benjamin Grimm]

Really? Whenever I ask, she says, "Zoe Perry is five inches tall."

[metirish]

Wow I just asked her again and she said Zoe Perry is five inches tall

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess Zoe Perry's height has extreme fluctuations.

[metirish]

Anyway, Alexa does suck , aside from using it to turn the living room light on and off and using the one in the bedroom for rain sounds I find it useless

[Fman99]

Young Sheldon sucks 800 million times more than Alexa, I can tell you that much.

As far as silly modern-day sitcoms go I like Young Sheldon. It's winding
down it's final season and then poof it will be gone. Give it a solid B+.

while i freely recognize that my phone is probably already listening to everything i do and say, i don't also need to add a device that on purpose listens to everything i say, as its sole primary purpose. especially if i might telework, or talk on the phone.

you're literally bugging your home, for the convenience of turning on a light, playing a song, or doing something else that could literally be done with the expenditure of maybe 5 calories.

Word up.

Yeah, word up. Can't understand why anyone wants it - I turn off my lights quite nicely, thank you.

A couple of years ago Amazon sent me, unrequested, one of their Echo Dot gizmos.
The fact that I only rarely even order stuff through Amazon makes me think they were probably just trying to get rid of an older model
with a hope that their fishing strategy might just hook a small percentage of those recipients and convert them to new users.
At first I didn't even know what it was. Once I found out I simply put it aside and never hooked it up.

I wonder if I still have it kicking around somewhere?
