I can see the devices you use mattering. Where were you watching the videos? Do you have the Amazon app installed on the same device, or on a device with a microphone? My tin-foil hat theory is that the Amazon app is always listening from your phone, based on similar things happening to my wife.

Reminds me of the time when my uncle asked me to go get the dolly from his garage. I, being a kid and having no context for why he’d need a dolly, spent a few minutes in his garage but eventually returned with a Barbie doll still in its box. Fortunately, my uncle just chuckled, clasped my shoulder, and went to the garage to get his dolly so he could move his laundry machine. I often remember that day as a lesson in humility.

Aaaaaaand that’s why we all got the mandatory class action related agreement notifications. Scum.

If a kid’s got their parent’s credit card, I doubt they will bother with requesting a refund. They’ll just smash other ‘buy’ buttons until the game they want is downloaded. I’m sure some adults are like this, too…

Thanks for the advice. I got a cheap amp, got it all set up, and it works a charm!

Can’t believe I forgot to include that tidbit, that they’re passive speakers.

Isn’t the motherboard itself the amplifier?

They're just some cheap speakers I found on Amazon: Theater Solutions TS30B

According to the product description: "frequency response is 140Hz-20 kHz with 89dB at 8ohm"

My MSI MAG Z790 motherboard supports rear channel speakers.

If I were to mount a pair of speakers behind me, that would require approximately 15 feet (4.5 meters) of speaker wire from my PC to the speakers. Do I have to worry about the AUX port’s power output if I were to use 18 or 16 gauge speaker wire?

Because the chances of someone who disagrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic is much higher than someone who agrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic.

And I’m sure a depressing number of people will believe it’s real

Surely this will end in world peace.
