I’ll see your garage can and raise you an egg.
One of my favorites:
Reminds me of this.
Lol, I made the change and Pro: works like a charm. Con: I was watching a Star Trek marathon over the weekend and Kirk and crew kept activating the Echo! It was a funny problem.
There’s actually an easter egg if you ask for “Tea, Earl Gray, Hot.”
Other easter eggs include:
“What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?”
“Can entropy be reversed?”
“Open the pod bay doors.”
Do you have the wemo switches? Get a smart plug, name the TV “screen” and when you say “on screen” it will indeed turn on. That’s how I have mine set up.
I use that entirely too much for it not to go crazy responding. And oh man, if it ever had in-car integration, I’d wear it out Day 1.
Only if you order it premade, and “hot.”
I use my Echo in conjunction with a Harmony hub. I bet if I renamed my TV activity to “on screen” it would work! Never give up, never surrender!
News alert, amazon sales for Earl Grey tea skyrocketed today.
That would be the best ever. Especially with a wake word like “computer”, you might accidentally buy stuff without even knowing it. It should always have you confirm with a command authorization. How epic.
Can I combine this with Prime Pantry and Prime Now to get almost instantaneous deliveries of Earl Grey tea?
“Confirmed.”
Thirty minutes later your house explodes.
But can you program it to make that TWEEEEEchirrrp sound in response?
Thousands of year ago (Windows 95?) Windows had a theme that transformed all activity sounds into STNG. Desktop wallpapers were all Enterprise themed....Page loads made the whoosh door sound, the voice for different things was the female computer voice from the show. I had it on for years........nerd.
The illusion is not complete unless it occasionally requires me to confirm my identity by saying my surname, a Greek letter, and a numeral.
Nonsense.
Omg this makes me so happy I’m almost crying. It’s what I’ve been wanting the whole time since I got my echoes.
I heard that Majel Barrett recorded her voice phonetically before she passed. If they incorporate her into Alexa, then I would buy one without a second thought.
