"Why doesn't it work this way?"
"Why doesn't Amazon do this thing?"
"Why, why, why?"
Umm, why did you buy one in the first place, and after such revelations, why do you continue to have one in your house? Instead of just listing reasons that one should not buy such a device, the article came across to me as, "man, I really love this Alexa thing, but it creeps me out. Why can't Amazon...?" rather than just throw the thing in the trash if it bothers you that much.
- mikece 8y agoI'm curious how many people didn't buy these but got them for free as part of some other package (like renewing service on Verizon). Personally, I won an Echo Dot at a programming meetup but haven't had it plugged for over 15 months.
- mikestew 8y agoHmm, a good point I didn't even know to consider. I'm over here in the Apple camp thinking that such things cost $350 a pop.
