Anyone here own a Google Home/Amazon Echo?
I've been thinking of picking up one of the two but I'm curious if they're actually useful to have. Just curious if any /g/ents have one.

Surprised they don't give them away for free with the amount of gathering those things do.
>murder solved by an echo
And /g/ told me the botnet was bad

My friend has one.
It is fun to toy around but I am not sure how useful is it.

No, but my cousins do. I told his Google Home to play KMFDM, and later I told it to suck my dick. It couldn't help me w/ the second one.
Tempted to hit up the worst tech store in existence and pick up a Google Home and a Chromecast Audio so I can be a lazy piece of shit and so I don't have to worry about "muh wires" and so I can use "muh voice".
Just seems like a glorified Google Now but that's exactly what I'm looking for

I have an Echo and, it's pretty nice. I use it for a lot of different things, home automation, shopping lists, weather, news...etc. I do worry about the botnet though
> even considering one of those useless things

>muh botnet
at this point I don't even care about the botnet anymore, I already have a smartphone so why fucking bother.
If you're gonna get a Google Home get it fast, you get YouTube Red 6 months for free until the new year.
Overall the google home is fantastic, only problem I have is working around IFTT

just so you know, they play advertisements.
>Okay Google, what's the news for today?
>Did you know you can save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to--
>Okay Google, stop.

No I'm not. My relative got Google Home, I asked it for the news, it started reading an advertisement to me.

it's not even about botnet, it's about the fact that they're useless. They barely understand anything and the things they are good at you can do in two seconds at your computer anyways
