This is especially true when playing VR. Alexa is a life saver when you're wearing a headset

During wet seasons in the mountains even light foot traffic heavily damages trails and native ecosystems. It’s the same reason why dirt bikes and atvs can’t use forest service or national park trails.

Ohhhh Danny Boyyyy

Ahh yes $350 for a mixed drink maker that uses shitty syrups and the end result is a crap drink...

FYI - watch YouTube reviews of this product. The drinks taste like absolute trash from what I have read.

Its cool but I still have to stock the unit myself so why not just make the drink myself

It’s a disaster, all the wet trails are destroyed, just a line of all-terrain wheel chairs as far as the eye can see. The handicapped are destroying everything we love. Something must be done!

It's a neat conversation piece.

But holy hell people wire management is not that hard.

I have a 3d printer built into my freezer.

So does my wife!

And that reminds me of the best times ^best ^times

I have zero issues doing all that without alexa. The best thing about a smarthome, is not having to ask it to do things that it can do on its own.

Let me guess, she’s still going to expect 20% tip?

You can buy a commercial thing like this for 350 bucks that is kind of like a keurig. Put in a pod and it will dispense your drink using your liquor.

“Alexa, play mood music.”

“Alexa, mix me a drink.”

“Alexa, impregnate my wife”

The all new 2023 Volkswagen ENGAGE

Exactly. He still had to get up.

It doesn't do the ice. If you have to get up for the ice, forget it.

I was at a party this weekend with a mixing machine. It’s the one that uses pods like a keurig. Anyhow it was a huge hit and people loved it.

Of course it's hot!!!

Yeah, just what the world needs right now

Yeah I think they’ll have only designated areas they can go

Does it come in yellow? Asking for a bald friend.

Plus, sometimes my hands are full. I could be working on a project or playing a video game, and I don't have to stop working or pause a game to pull up whatever on my phone. I can just tell Alexa to play a song or tell me the weather while I continue to work or play.

Same thing with cooking, I can make Alexa set timers or change the music without wiping my hands off, or stopping what I am doing.

Echos control 70% of the home smart speaker market in the US. Ending Alexa would devastate that market and Amazon’s ability to maintain a presence there at all.

They need to go the Costco route and view it as a loss leader. $5 rotisserie chickens apparently cost the company $30-40mn/year. But their annual revenue is over $200bn. How many people buy smart stuff on Prime to work with their cheap ass Dots that cost $20 on Black Friday?
