    Enjoy counting how many times I tell it it’s a piece of shit on a daily basis. Half the time it doesn’t play anything remotely close to the artist/album I request when listening to music. Other times it just flat out doesn’t work. We got a few years ago when they were discounted around holidays - don’t think we’ll be buying any more.

      Like most consumer tech, they started out pretty awesome and slowly got worse and worse as features got stripped away after countless patent infringement cases. Now pretty much all the “smart speakers” available are absolutely trash.

      I’ve since disabled the mics on mine, and just use them for manually casting music.
