I'm sorry, I don't understand. But would you like to hear why employees working on its voice assistant are being laid off by Google?
.
Alexa is the same and used to work fine. My favorite is “Alexa, turn on the fan” turns on the fan in my mother’s room but “Alexa, turn off the fan”correctly turns off the fan in my bedroom. I ended up getting a HomePod and using home assistant to add all my devices to HomeKit. Shit on Siri all you want but at least she can turn the right devices on and off and on first try.
The enshittification will continue until quarterly profits improve...
...then they will continue to continue.
I've never before been so glad to read about someone else's misfortune. Mine have been doing this for MONTHS and I thought it was just me imagining things
Unplugged mine last week. Fuck em.
Honestly, I pretty much only use mine for relatively cheap home speaker groups.
same. throwing out my speakers as they understand less each day as it feels. now its only a clap light switch and everything else, i at least have to ask 2 times
Every time I hear about some proprietary thing getting effectively bricked by the company that sold them so they don't have to support them forever, I wonder "what did you think was going to happen?"
