I've only had mine hooked up for one day so...

So far I know when I cook I have music on, and this way I haven't had to use my hands on my phone when I'm ready to listen to something else. Change genres, shuffle songs but stay within the artist. Usually my phone ends up a sticky, swipy mess when I'm done. I've used it to remind me to call someone from home today. Weather. Chuck Norris joke of the day. I've asked her a couple synonyms and definitions. When does the sun set today? What time is Rogue 1 playing today... the only thing she's denied me so far has been playing Space Oddity, apparently I need to buy the song to hear it.

Yes, all things I can do with a phone, yet it's been easier, hands free. She won't know the personal info Rob has asked for.

 

[Froya]

oh man, I'd use the hell out of one of those things. I need reminding of shit constantly.

Sounds like JinSun could give you a sweet deal on one.

Is it awful of me to say, I'd thought about that already.

Are you against mailing cash?

Nope. What are you thinking?

 

[JinSun]

Ah, haha. I was kidding, sorry! Hopefully you can find one on craigslist or ebay from someone in a similar position as myself.

I'd be disappointed if you hadn't.

It's ok, I might look at one of the smaller ones on Amazon.

I would really like to have one.

That's what I have, the echo dot. I believe the only differences are the speakers, and from the little research I did, the dot has better speakers for open areas.

Just be sure to unplug it if you plan to murder someone in your house. That story out of Bentonville is troublesome.

How I miss the days of being able to murder freely without Amazon knowing.

Fuck the Echo

What I do on my property is my own business! I dont need the Goddamn furniture turning against me.

Seriously though, I cannot accept a product that that records me and sends the info elsewhere. Not for me.

I just asked it if it was spying on me. She denied it of course, then sent me the privacy notice via Amazon. So not only is she an eavesdropper, she's likely a liar.

 

[Ms_Ann]

If you have 2 Echos, do they talk to each other in stereo?

If you have any means of self-defense, I would urge immediate action! A shotgun is my preferred weapon for close quarters, but unless the creature is very quick on it's feet a hammer might be enough. But for your own safety I would not delay in exterminating this thing. (they didn't name it 'echo' for no reason I would assume...your every thought, action and word is being echoed to it's master )

Maybe it's all a riddle? Maybe like Narcissus I must become obsessed with myself, with Echo taking care of me. Is this Amazon's end goal?

 

[JinSun]

After a few days of playing with it, it's not all that bad I suppose. My one pet peeve has been it not understanding song names. I added a bunch to my Amazon library but it has trouble with words that don't exist.

For example, I keep telling it to play a song called Thelema. It has no fucking clue.

Also if you have two songs with same name it can get tricky.
