I did tell Alexa yesterday to say hello to the government. She claims she doesn't know that person....

Sure Alexa. A likely story. Uh huh.

That bitch is all around my house, 3 dots and 1 echo. I bought a return Echo for the garage, sounds good. Echo Dot might sound crappy in a garage. So far we really like it. I got the echo for $54, since it was a return on Amazon. Amazon had a deal a few weeks ago for 2 Dots, think $30 each. Then I found a open box at Target for half the price.
I'm trying Amazon's Unlimited Family music thing, so far I like it, has good music selection.
In the kitchen we use it for music, weather, traffic, controlling Fire Stick TV in living room (pause, stop, play) and timer. Rest of the house, mainly music and every so often intercom. Eventually I want to get the lightswitches, so I can control them through Alexa.

Interesting. I'll prob just get the echo, I don't see the need to have more than one. Didn't know you could control everything through that. I don't have a tv, might be buying one soon. It'll be the first TV I've owned in about 13 years.

I'm not 100% sure I believe it... I just think the meme is funny.
I don't have any Alexas. It just feels funny talking to a device. I feel odd using Siri most of the time when I use it (which is only when driving, when I *need* to send a text back to somebody).

Yeah, it's a bit weird and hard to remember the commands at first. My Nest IQ camera has Google Assistant built-in. I tried it for a while and wasn't that impressed. It didn't understand some of my questions and integration isn't as great as Alexa (for now). When I went to the store to test out the Google Mini, Echo Dot sounded way better. With Google Assistant, I felt like I needed to take my time saying the commands. With Alexa, it feels more natural.

Yeah we're eff'ed in the A anyway since we all 'need' our cellphones; if they are tapped they are tapped whatever just don't plan any attacks i guess?
