    Going to get roasted for this, but Alexa devices. The video versions play Netflix, YouTube, Hulu etc and have much better sound than the standard little speaker orb version. They all sync together so you can stream music in each room that has one like having a whole house stereo system.

    Being able to verbally add something to the grocery list at any time is a game changer. People aren’t taking advantage of that feature as much as they should IMO.

      The second part sounds like a thing phones should already be capable of, if it weren’t for trying to charge for something. Or snoop on me. Or something worse I just haven’t thought of.

      Enshittification is such a downer. Oh, well, guillotines will fix it eventually, I guess.

      The shopping list feature is the most used part of my Alexa, followed by morning weather report while I feed the animals, and then occasional music.
