Well.. “die” is decent advice for some people too.

The problems are worse on the fully loaded 2015 MBP work assigned to me than on the cheap windows machines I use at home.

This is terrible advice.

Eh, I dunno. I’m as liberal as they come and find SJWs and the current wave of hypersensitivity to be ridiculous, self indulgent, sexist, and counterproductive.

People don’t “belong” to the IoT. That’s kind of a meaningless statement.

Who in their right mind would buy and set up these devices to replace land lines when they almost certainly already have a phone to set up the devices in the first place? Just use the damn phone.

Sounds really easy and user friendly. Especially compared to a phone you don’t need to set up specially for intercom or Alexa use.

A current enough Motorola Android phone with a good update policy costs $200. Your phone can be voice controlled and it can read you things on demand. Everything the echo can do, a phone can do as well, and more.

Are you Christopher Walken?

How much is Amazon paying you?

The people who are naming Mackenzies and Dakotas were raised by people from your much better era.

Not a goatse fan, eh?

Nobody cares about you or your business. It is inappropriate to promote yourself on someone else’s site.

Commerce content is *supposed* to be editorially independent from editorial content, hence occasional negative posts about Amazon.

Right, Grandma who doesn’t want a smart phone will definitely want two electronic gizmos instead, one of which is a large version of the smart phone she doesn’t want.

Same.

Self promoting in comments on popular web sites is so 2009.

Now that everybody including kids has a cell phone and minutes aren’t really metered anymore, what is the point of a fixed intercom when you can just call someone from anywhere in the house, instead of near the Echo, in those cases when it’s not convenient to walk over to them?

Fascinating.
