Oh man. This old thread. Fun anecdote: Amazon pissed off my sister so badly that she cancelled all her Subscribe-n-Saves, Amazon Prime account, etc. Other than her Kindle, in which she has invested over $1000 in ebooks, which she never downloaded to offline storage, she is so done with Amazon that within a week of the inciting incident all of the Alexas were replaced with Hey Googles.

"Hey Google, tell me a joke."

"Okay. What's a bunny's favorite music?"

Spoiler :

Hip Hop

Hey Google must die.

I'd like an alternative to both of those. It irritates me that they throttled back the ai. Every week it gets worse.

Makes me think of Apple. They shut down my AppleID with no explanation nor avenue to bring it back. All paths are closed all access to iTunes and all the money I spent there is gone.

Our house is Alexa everywhere and Blink for security. I regret Blink but I'm already invested in it. Never paid nor will pay for a monthly service to them. For anyone considering Blink. It's terrible. The only good device is the Blink Doorbell and the software is throttled if you don't buy their plan.

It's not just getting rid of Alexa devices but ll the smart lights and other things that each have their own app and are a pain to reconfigure to anything else.

Sorry, waaay off topic. I should stick to turning my 5 month pool disaster into a movie. Why do I have 3 holes and 4 piles of sand and gravel where I used to be able to walk?

[Oedipussy Rex]

The metric system? No. That's Royale with Cheese.

All I can do is shake my head and say, "Well, well, well," about three holes, but piles of sand leaves me -- stumped.

Spoiler :

(A synonym of stumped, meaning bewildered, is graveled.)
