Alexa+, I really don’t want added color commentary on the things I’m adding to my shopping list. “alexa add pancake on a stick” “that sounds like a fun breakfast!” grrr

Amazon Echo+ review: A more cheerful and less robotic sounding voice is absolutely not worth the slower reaction time. Give me robotic and fast please.

100% anti-introvert policy for sure. hate it when employees do this.

It’s been described as “lean forward” tv, so yeah, second screening would be hard.

Hexagons aren't always MQ-9s, but in this case, yes, there are two MQ-9 Reapers over LA today. Just ridiculous.
