"You are the dead," repeated the iron voice. "It was behind the picture," breathed Julia. "It was behind the picture," said the voice. "Remain exactly where you are. Make no movement until you are ordered." It was starting, it was starting at last! They could do nothing except stand gazing into one another's eyes unthinkable to disobey the iron voice from the wall. There was a snap as though a catch had been turned back, and a crash of breaking glass. The picture had fallen to the floor uncovering the Echo behind it. "McDonalds!"

Plank Walker posted:has anyone ever legit ordered something via voice (on purpose)? like you i imagine it exists to fulfill amazon/google masturbation fantasies and no one has irl actually done it on googles platform theres so much work involved in setting the whole thing up that i cannot imagine any normal person has ever gotten even halfway through the process. the only reason i did was because you got a google home mini for $5 if you went through the process to link to walmart and buy it but i did it all on a web browser and it was pretty tricky even there. the concept of an average person doing all that setup so they can get random brands of toilet paper using their voice is completely in the realm of fantasy theres no way anyone has ever done it on purpose maybe amazon is different idk but it still seems ridiculous on its face how do you even specify stuff like types within a brand or size? do i have to say "hey google buy 96 ounces of all free liquid washing detergent" every loving time? what if they changed their sizes to 100 ounces for a bit like they often do (5% free!)? what if they changed the name to all hypoallergenic? what if they dont have all but have tide in that size? is the brand more important or the size? theres no loving way they account for any of that

i remember i had the very first POS asus eeepc which didnt even have an atom because those didn't exist yet, it was just an underclocked desktop celeron, and it was true you could get better performance while plugged into power by forcing it from 600 mhz to 900 if you were a huge loving nerd like i was, but doing that with a phone is just beyond the pale
