ok, so alexa may be dumb, but goddamn if it isnt awesome to talk to my house. Its reliable, and quick for simply commands. I cant give it complex orders or natural language stuff like google, but simple commands work great.

Alexa, house lights on (all lights in the house go on in about 1 second)
Alexa, house house lights at 10%
Alexa, living room lights at 100%
etc etc


Walked through the house in a stupor last night to get something, and rather than constantly running into shit, i just muttered at alexa when i was coming down the stairs and the whole house was lit nicely to a low level such that i didnt run into things, but it also didnt blind me.
"Alexa, illuminate."
 
echo has a built in sound system, the dot you gotta hook up to something.
no, it has built in too, its just not the beast of a speaker the echo has.

The echo is a very capable speaker, the dot is a "well yeah, i can hear it" speaker.
 
I talk to myself way too much to have one of these things in my house. Thing would be blinking and making noises like a carnival ride.

Worse, it talks back.
Bro in laws Alexa was tripping on me constantly.
"I located Google results for fuck me o fuck me..."


you know how i know you're lying, or perhaps just technically inept?

Two ways:

1)it only triggers on the word alexa.... (or echo, or amazon, if you tell it to). so unless thats a common word in conversation, its not listening to anything
2)Amazon echo (alexa) doesnt do google searches.


Maybe he has a google home.
