Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

    I’ve got to say that I’ve enjoyed having Echo speakers around the house and the things that they can do. I know Amazon may be listening in on me, but they’re bored to tears if they are! But I enjoy having the Echo speakers turn lights on & off around the house, set the Nest thermostat without having to get up, play music, answer questions, etc.

      Agreed, and they help family life so much - “announcing” when meals are ready, using “drop in” as an intercom rather than shouting around the home, not to mention the stuff you’ve already mentioned.
