Mad.

Edit: They've edited both of their previous posts to re-frame the argument after the fact and removed a personal attack. Classy.

My brother and a buddy both have Alexas. And yeah, I hate being anywhere near the thing.

This has always blown my mind. Watching people willingly allow Big Brother-esque devices into their home for very, very minor conveniences like turning on some gimmicky multi-colored light bulbs. Now they're literally using home "security" cameras that store everything on some random cloud server. I'll truly never understand.
