Amazon echo vs the google thing

Are they worth it and which one is better?

 

I have the echo and I like it. I ask for the weather, news updates, to play playlists I have on my Prime Music, add groceries to a shopping list as we run out, sports updates, to turn on and off lighting, etc. We use it every day and don't really have issues.

 

Echo is only superior because its been out longer so more integrations are currently supported... Google dominates the voice recognition and AI game so it will pass the Echo -- fast.

 

No

 

My wife bought me the echo when it first came out. It gets very little use in our house.

 

I have them both and use them daily. Amazon is ahead in software, but Google will surpass quickly. The Google sound quality is quite a bit better at lower levels - more low and mid range. Echo is better at louder volumes. I am gonna stick with the Google and ditch the Amazon.

 

Back on this subject. Which one is the one to go with? I have android, wife is apple if that makes a difference. My mom want to get us one for Christmas but wants to know which one.

 

Save your money. Why would you ever want a device capable of listening to everything you say and transmitting it to people you shouldn't by default trust?

 

Yet here you are surfing the internet, making phone calls and GPS tracking you 24/7.

 

Yes...surfing the web...through an onion network? Who still uses a phone to make phone calls? I'm not hard to find as there are very few places I go these days.

What is a novelty item today will be an intrusive advertising machine in the very near future.

 

The one person on the beeb youchoose to call out on security... Wrong person.







Venom is king of digital security.

 

Well...I'm not that but I do exercise a good deal of control over what enters and leaves my networks.

 

Choosing when you browse and what you browse and what other things you do on the internet cannot be in any shape or form be compared to basically an open mike that is at all time recording, sending the data and who know what they do with it.

No, no, FUCK no!

Similar quote can be used for those who choose to give up privacy for convenience...

 

What the hell am I going to say that I wouldn't want some one else to hear?


If they don't wanna hear me yell, Wheres my food women, Get naked, or kid I'm about to beat your ass, then they can go listen in on some one else...

 

What would you do if you yelled “kid, I’m about to beat your ass” and the cops showed up with a social worker 20 minutes later?

 

Explain why I beat that kids ass!!!

 

In case they want an overlay soundtrack for a porno.

 

You mean like advision...er...I mean television?

 

I'm going to make sure I put this in the bedroom, that way the one time of year I get lucky they will get to here something good for spying on me..


Wont last long so they better be ready 24/7.
