Alexa understands Howard Stern Show references!

Post by MWmetalhead » Sat Dec 12, 2020 9:57 pm

I pressed the voice activated button on my Samsung TV remote a little while ago, which is synced to Alexa.

After pressing the button, I said "Baba Booey!"

Alexa instantly responded with "Hit 'em with the Hein." (Referring to John Hein.)

Funny stuff. :8)

SiriusXM has a deal with Amazon on a promotion for the Echo Dot. I got a Dot for free when I signed up all Access for the year for $60. That deal expired December 3rd though.

Do you enjoy a loss of privacy?

Well, I did turn off the Amazon Sidewalk function.

Privacy? That went out the window eons ago. So I get extra junk mail in my inbox and targeted advertisements on YouTube, etc. Big deal.

I threw my Dot,
In Lake Su-perior,
From Whitefish Bay,
It calls to me...

Anyone who has a smart phone already has loss of privacy.

Amen.
We tried the "mention something and see if you get ads for it." It works.
Try it folks. Keep talking about buying something while you're carrying an Android phone.
"I wonder what's better, Firestick or Ruku?" Just keep saying something like that aloud.
But don't search it.
Watch ads pop up for what you were talking about, when you're on any website that you Googled to get to.

Yes, and your phone "talks" to your tablet as well.

My sister was telling me she and a friend were out for lunch together one day. Somehow their conversation got around to casually discussing some luxury resort. The kind of place they would never go to, but the kind of place it's nice to dream about going to.

She said, over the next few days she started getting ads on her phone from that resort.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

I posted on here that if people wanted a theocracy they should move to the Middle East. Half an hour later while watching YouTube, I got an ad for Dubai.
