Been Promoted

[Drago]

This Missus has bought an Amazon Echo Dot, and has taught it to work through her bluetooth computer speakers. She has the Prime thing (?) so gets all the music streaming and shizzle like that, so fair play. With her variable eyesight it might be a very clever purchase for her.

The good news is that now there's a computer to boss around I'm no longer at the bottom of the chain of command in the house!

B&Q are sure to be recruiting

So...your dog outranks you?

 

[Rooster1]

Those Dot Echos are super call, we have one in the office.

Dogs always do.

Been promoted or prepared for dismissal, who knows.

The voice is wrong first thing in the morning on it.

Does your promotion come with anything else. Cuppa in bed, more telly time?

Big Brother is listening. 24-7.

I had to try it...

"Alexa, open the pod bay doors."

"I am not HAL9000 and we are not in deep space."

 

[classic33]

You on the couch tonight, @Drago?

Try :

Winter is coming

There is a whole list of "Easter eggs" here

Cannot guarantee the provenance

Personally I find it less fun, and less less of a sense of humour then Siri

It is when you go to the Rescue Group and find that "Alexa" is now in the running for the Chair!!!

I had to try it...

"Alexa, open the pod bay doors."

"I am not HAL9000 and we are not in deep space."

One of the first things I tried with my echo was:-

'Alexa, are you cybernet?'

With Cats you're just staff.
