Lol, nope, have one too. Funny.I have an Echo leaf blower...
OK, I give up, what is it?
It's a home assistant. She plays music, games, has info, news etc. Lots of apps available to have it do all manner of stuff. Ours has been very handy. You talk to her, her name is Alexa. Just place it somewhere in what ever room and say, " Alexa, play the Beatles" She will answer, " Shuffling the Beatles songs." and play them. You can tell her to go to the next song or back or request a single song. Ask her what the weather is going to be, ask for a news flash update. gets you the headlines. Play Jeopardy, 20 questions, quizzes, quotes...jokes..Never leave your chair or be busy doing other stuff, hands full or dirty , in the garage, just talk to her. We have another do dad that you use your I phone and can turn off and on the lights etc...connect via Bluetooth to other devices and remote speakers etc..OK, I give up, what is it?
We found that out too, but we don't have a TV on this floor, my wife was playing Jeopardy and I was helping her with answers and getting them wrong. Alexa took my answers and she lost.I've got one and can't believe how many times she starts talking in response to the television! Narcissistic bitch thinks EVERYONE is talking to her! Oh, and she can't access Google :-(
My brother argues with his TV, but he's about a bubble and a half out of plumb.I've got one and can't believe how many times she starts talking in response to the television! Narcissistic bitch thinks EVERYONE is talking to her! Oh, and she can't access Google :-(
I believe 747 will most likely have built one into a custom roof console or some other craziness by this time; the most crazed fabber I know of!Makes a great Christmas gift....;) pretty sure 747 needs one in his new garage, RC too....
It's a WiFi enabled device that can control other WiFi devices in your home, connect to the internet to get weather, news, music, etc., order products directly from Amazon (if you've ordered them previously), and all kinds of other nonsensical stuff. Some people swear by the damn things but mine pretty much sits there and talks to the TV (she'd voice activated and literally thinks the TV is talking to her).
I guess if I was more tech-minded I'd get more use out of Alexa, but as it is I'm still not so old and/or lazy that I mind getting up to dim the lights (which Alexa can do).
