Dad vs. Amazon Echo

[NJHalo]

LOL

 

[Jay]

Is he calling it "trevor" ?

Sounds like me talking to Siri.

[Blarg]

It doesn't speak Australian.

Close enough to Alexa.

Surprised that it didn't understand "fucking wanker".

I see that he is using the old trick of speaking slower and more loudly to those who don't understand you.

**** must have a different meaning overseas.  Because he was calling Trevor a ****.

i got an amazon echo for Christmas. my daughter is setting it up for me tonight. hoping it's a useful thing.

hopefully your daughter will record you using it. 

Just remember, to turn it on, you have to say "Trevor"

I have one. So far mainly using it for news and weather reports, and to play music.

[Tank]

we finished getting it set up and it's been a lot of fun so far. lots of music available, set up news stations, connected it to my calendar, and have been enjoying asking her to tell jokes. i need to go explore amazon prime music now.

What do you feed an invisible cat? evaporated milk. that one will probably work better at school.

There's no way I'd ever let this fu*kin' thing in my house.

My daughter already has this thing turning lights on and off for us.

It helps if you say it really loud, then slap it if it doesn't respond. It pays closer attention if you use a lot of profanity.
