They already do…

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

And yet people will buy it, like they did with Nintendo switch 2! See you when it really happens.

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 4 points 2 days ago

Good, make it as terrible as possible.

I'm sorry, people still have or use these things?

Who is this stupid or lazy?

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

You’re still using Alexa? Unplugged our listening er pod device about a week after we got it.

All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of mount Nicaragua !

They're already making suggestions. Got one this morning telling me I can ask it for updates on Amazon packages.

Speaking of which, anyone have any suggestions for better smart speakers?

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m not really a smart speaker kind of guy but HomePods are nice, sound quality is pretty good

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mine isn’t. Do you use the full size, or the mini?

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I bought a full size a few years ago but returned it cause I didn’t think it was worth the price. I got a mini as a gift last year and it works great. Even has built in temperature and humidity sensors

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I wish I shared your experience with the mini. Mine is temperamental, glitchy, somehow obnoxious, and the sound is mediocre.
