Got a Google Home Hub with the Google Pixel i bought last year, fucking pointless tbh. To get any use out of it you need to buy a shit load of accessories, most of the uses are a bit shit anyway. Mine is only used by the kids so they can get it to play youtube videos.

Alexa, what’s the match day thread like ? It’s fucking awful Andy, saves me a few seconds to get confirmation.

It's ok if you want to listen to Metallica, 60's top 20s, Robbie Williams or whatever genre you like without buying CDs so it should save quite a bit of money over time if you're listening to music a lot. At least you can choose what you want.

I unplugged my alexa. She was always coming on on her own...the spy. And id talk about something with the wife and all of a sudden, suggestions for what i was talking about are in my social media feeds and web ads.

Alexa is always listening......

Good stocking filler at Xmas. Bought four for people this year.
Wouldn’t dream of having one myself...

For everyone worried that Alexa is recording them knocking one off here’s how to disable the spying.
