Who /homepod/ here?

>knowingly installing a listening device mainlining your personal info to a corporation in your home
This episode of Black Mirror sucks

I don’t see the point of these devices. They seem like any number of tchotchkes from sharper image.

these two posts giving me deja vu
i guess i am the guy who brings up how it's an inferior product to the google home or echo dot (both $50).
>it's not marketed as a smart assistant! it's AMAZING for it's size
fuck this attitude im so disappointed in apple. not only is it too expensive but it's also shitty. this is some bar-mitzvah gift shit fr, not something i want to buy. making me count the days til chrome tablet can replace my iPad and i'll jump right off the apple boat entirely

at least somebody listens to me

lmao why do I would I want a speech to text google search when I have hands

>willingly paying money to own a device that constantly listens to you at home, produced by companies notorious for their lack of privacy
Gee whiz, are you a soccer mum?

i thought it was stupid too but someone got me alexa for xmas and it's actually very cool. i use it as my alarm clock and when i wake up i ask it to give me the news report, keeps me from falling back asleep and start the brain up. also nice to ask for music when im in the middle of getting dressed. it's not a life-changer yet but i could see it going places
there's even gaming on it, it's like old text-based games but with audio instead.
as for sharing data with a corporation, i dont give a fuck. what are they gonna do, try to sell me stuff?

who even uses siri and google assistant anyway? i remember asking siri the weather and being amazed in like 2011 but that shit sucks

my phone literally does the same thing
