Halp Android devices

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.
BTW, I'm really surprised that you of all people are okay with an always listening device in your home.

dude, i know exactly what people are interesting and what people arent, and im not one of them.

Also, i know if someone wants to listen to me, theyre gonna do it, no matter what device i do or dont have.

also, my attitude of "fuck you, do it" weighs in here. If some basement dwelling hacker want to record me furiously masturbating to dwarf porn, then threaten to black mail me or whatever?

yeah.... fuck you, do it. Its not my problem that you're pathetic.

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.

A lot of people tell me I'm the laziest fuck they've ever seen in their life.

But this is the laziest fucking shit I've ever heard in my life.

How fucking lazy do you have to be to have to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars and speak to walls instead of lifting your arm 20 centimeters, and think it's cool?

@Domon lazy, that's how lazy.


I salute you sir, you have beaten me.

Yeah, like any one would be interested in people with babies, because that's very original and interesting.

I'd watch your home though, because I'd love to observe Ape in her natural habitat. Would make a very interesting subject.

You should write a paper on that.
 
Mac is on a roll.
... Down hill.
Dunno about that.
MacG is good looking, has marketable skills in android app development.
Brutal drunk, brutal cat person.

If Mac could ever swim to Greece and stow away on a merchant marine freighter, he'd be serious competition for @fly.
 
It was a project that everyone knew was doomed to fail from the start. I'm surprised that it lasted this long.
I might regret this, but would you mind explaining?

I decided to just buy Nexus devices some time ago, so I wouldn't have to diddle with the ROMs or whatever to get the latest OS, because I'm not smart enough for that shit.
