I'm having issues with Variety's website being awful.
I previously read another take on that source on AndroidPolice[1] where it was framed more as "If you include Google Home you cannot include another Digital Assistant (e.g. Alexa)" which makes a lot more sense (obviously you can't have two assistants running at once) - though allowing it to be switchable would be nice.
It'll be interesting to see what the truth of the matter is.
- dorianm 10y agoI guess if somebody has Siri, Google Now, Google Home, Amazon Echo, etc. and then they ask to change the music it would be a pretty fun mess.
- TheOtherHobbes 10y ago"Echo, change the music." "Hey Siri, change the music." The last service requested should be able to take over the device. Google's problem is that if tries to bully the audio makers, the audio makers will ignore Google Cast. This is actually rather a stupid thing to do when Google is a minor player in a much bigger market. It's also going to make builders in other markets wonder if Google is good company to support.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoSo, you read the release more directly, and had an issue with it, but then went to a fan blog, which read it from the same source, but speculated a way to frame it as more positive for the company they depend on for their site's existence, and took that as the more valuable piece of information?
- Navarr 10y agoYou misunderstand. The source website jumped around a lot, had a terrible full-page advert, and then for some reason completely blanked the page.
