As a user, how do you like everything you say in your home being recorded and stored as metadata somewhere for posterity?

I just tried it and it said Tuesday, February 4, at 9 pm.

Must have been fixed.

Now if a hacker could substitute the Alexa voice with Tramp’s voice. ...that would be awesome. ....end every inquiry with. ..”Making America Great Again “.... Or “Ha ha ha. ..crooked Hillary lost. ...I won, Ha Ha Ha “

For your last question, it seems that Alexa may be going by the population of the metropolitan area. By this mesaure, Tokyo is #1 at 37.4 million. For the first two questions, Alexa seems to be looking up data based on resident population within the actual city boundaries.

Yup—lefties love to change the meaning of words without telling us they are doing it. ;-)

Amazon (CIA just like Lifelog/Facebook) is a microphone you place in your home with internet access and speech recognition. It “doesnt record you” but can repeat back anything said in its vicinity.

Unfreakinbelievable. So this is the new tactic:

By any means possible, block people from seeing and hearing the President of the United States, while simultaneously giving him 100% negative coverage in the media.

And here is yet another example of Tech Tyrants trying to force their will on the nation by censorship.

I've also noticed that FOX news stopped showing POTUS rallies in their entirety and covering his activities.

Example: He signed the legislation to fight Human Trafficking yesterday, but only OANN covered it. Everyone else talking about the Peach-Mint nonsense.

Interesting post ... I just bought a bought a Google Home this morning.
I compared it to the Amazon Echo and I came to two conclusions ...
1) If you want quality of sound go with Amazon Echo; 2) If search accuracy is most important, go with Google Home.

This is what she said when I asked her:

“President Trump’s 2020 State of the Union Address airs Tuesday, February 4th, at 9 PM. It will be live streamed on NBC, ABC, CBS, and C-SPAN.”

I always shitpost on leftist sites. To remind everyone to vote the first Wednesday, after the first Monday, in November... only in even numbered years.

I have been doing that for so long, I dont even remember when.

She told me CSpan not CNN and she gave the correct date and time both times I asked, once with “next,” and once without in the question.

PS she also told me Shanghai is the largest city.
