As a Google employee, I really don't want to be saying "Ok, Google" in my home all the time. It's totally possible for me to go to work in a subway that has Google ads, waste time on my Pixel, work at the Google office for eight hours, waste time on my Pixel, walk past the same ads on the way home, watch YouTube videos and do Google searches about random topics, and ask Google to set an alarm before I go to sleep. It…

"Ok, Google" makes everyone hate saying the word "Google". It is now linked to the emotions of frustration and anger forever.

I've tried Spotify, its great but their inability to upload your own music is a gamebreaker for me, since I listen to a decent amount of indie and obscure bands and songs

It's experiences like this that make me question why anyone would spend this much effort and money setting up a system that isn't as good as what it replaces. I have a convenient, quiet, perfectly reliable single-bit computer on the wall in every room in my house. It costs $1, can be operated by a 2 year old, is perfectly intuitive, and the only downside I can think of is that occasionally it necessitates I be very s…

> be very slightly less lazy That is the key point, for me anyway. "Computer, all lights off" instead of getting out of bed when I've left something on is one of my lazy wins from voice control. Setting multiple timers without touching things with messy hands while faffing in the kitchen is another.

We can all use the extra exercise of going up and down the stairs one more time, friend!
