I fucking hate it. Above anything else, it has been instrumental in preventing me from listening to more music and spoiling my mood than any other thing in the world. It's a device from fucking Satan.
I have two of the fucking cunts. A small one and a larger one and they are both complete shite. I spend 20 minutes fucking about with either the Sonos app or the Spotify app trying to get it to play the song I want before the mood passes, before giving up and throwing my phone / iPad / laptop across the room. I fucking hate it.
I used to have records. Put the fucking record on the fucking turntable. Play the fucking thing. Then I had CDs - put the fucking CD in the fucking CD player. Play the fucking thing. Now there's this shite. Fucking 15 fucking quid a month for Spotify for all the music in the fucking world and I never listen to a fucking thing.
And Alexa's fucking worse, except she scares the shit out of me by shouting at me for no reason when I'm standing in the kitchen, minding my own business, not saying a fucking thing.
They are all going in the crusher.
Fuck 'em.

It wasn't like this during the war.
That seems to work fine.
As you were.
We did just buy one of those little Chromecast audio thingumyjigs though, which is plugged into the hifi amp. It works perfectly. Thirty quid and the size of a Jaffa Cake!
I said maybe.....
I do know what Alexa is, my brother has it. When he's cooking he says "give me a timer for 25 minutes" or "what's 3.5 times 75 grams?" and it gives him the answer, which is quite cool. But I think it's spying on him.
It might well be spying on him. Our Fire TV stick just broke, so we got a new one with the Alexa voice remote. My daughters love it, but by the time they faff around with Alexa, I could load Youtube far quicker by just pressing the buttons. You can get 5 minutes of fun out of Alexa by seeing what its reaction is when you ask it about Amazon's tax arrangements.
3.5 times 75 is 262.5. Did it in my head. If people are getting to the point where they need Alexa for things like that then we are in trouble.
i love you
Personal abuse of individuals is not allowed but abuse of inanimate objects is.
I think we should stand up for the rights of machines.
You laugh now, but I imagine it will actually be a thing in 2100 or so.
