Hey all.

Hello Kirin.

Dae - Not sure I'm familiar with the name Alexa. Does Dae have a kid?

Takes me an hour to get to sleep as well. So I get in bed earlier.

Hey there Mon.

Welcome back to the non-event forum! Also congratulations to Kirin for being the last poster!

Woot! Used that goldies to put towards a few things I needed for an upcoming outfit.

I have a hard time with Alexa in that I also have a Google Home and always forget which to talk to in which room. And the Google Home causes problems because the command for my Pixel is the same...

Wait.... Alexa is a computer? I'm so confused

Maybe you have an accent hummy? I know things like a southern accent can cause computers to have difficulty.

Alexa is a operating system created by Amazon for their Echo devices. The system is similar to Apple's Siri.

Lol, I know ours has a hard time understanding my boyfriend. You have to enunciate very clearly and sometimes it goes off for no reason. Same with Google Home. But she is useful for turning off all our smart lights without having to go through the whole house.

Oh I see. I don't use any voice software so I thought it was a user xD

Alexa listens to everything I find it really creepy.
When "Hey Siri" came out I disabled it right away because I said "so hows the new thing with siri supposed to work" and suddenly she was like Yo wat u wanna ask (paraphrasing obviously) and I was like nope! I don't want to accidently call someone because of this. lol

We have a device for our smart lights that we can just press a (digital) button on our phones. Maybe its the Apple Homekit or something?

It doesn't work for the cia. The cia works for it.

Amazon: We've got Robots
And we're probably Skynet

Skynet... I would totally name a robot delivery service something like that.

I was just posting about robots in the Amane's Fan Club thread!
I haven't even enabled the OK, Google app on my phone...and I definitely couldn't live with a gadget in my home that listened to my every word! Call me paranoid, but I have real issues with "Big Brother" listening to all my conversations and tracking my every move!
I don't even enable the "location" app on my phone because I feel like if I want people to know where I am, I can TELL them...nobody, much less a robot, needs to know where I am every minute!
Before we know it the robots will have control and we will have no free will...all in the name of "convenience" and "what's best for us"...and when we finally realize our mistake and want to pull the plug on them it will be like in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey..."I'm sorry Dave, but I can't allow you to do that."

Very true... and sadly it wont take long to get there at this rate.

Eh, I know I should probably be more concerned with personal privacy and such as far as devices go but it just doesn't take priority in my mind. While I turn off location services in most apps, I am navigational challenged so I need it for directions. I'm more fearful of a Fahrenheit 451 situation than Terminator/Skynet
