A crazy number of people are buying products with Alexa in them. I don't really get it to be honest. It seems like mostly just a novelty.
I bought a phone mount for my car that had Alexa built in. The software fucked up after 2 weeks, but it's still the best physical design for a phone mount that I've found. So it's unplugged and got a dead battery and just holds my phone.
So retarded! I've stopped buying anything that connects to internet. The only thing in my household that connects to internet is my PC and phone.
