I had to look that up because I've never heard of it before. I was shocked to see my city as one they deliver in. I don't drink anymore. It's probably a good thing they didn't have that when I did drink.

You can use whatever device you have at home; a desktop, laptop, raspberry pi, or tablet. They can be triggered from the other side of the Earth. I know I'm a watchaholic, but my point was that you can use any of your devices (which you have control of) rather than buying a dedicated device that listens to you all the time and does who knows what in the background.

I didn't know that was an option. I think I'll look into getting an Alexa now.

And a drone that can fly to the liquor store and get another bottle.

You can do all those things with your phone. Why buy another device that does the same thing, but with less control over what it does in the background?
I have all my automation set up in my watch. I prefer to push a button rather than talk, but that's just me.

I saw a Dr last year who only communicated by phone and fax. He would get quite a few faxes every time I was in his office.

I thought your question was open for anyone to respond. I guess your question really isn't any of my business.

I assume this was the prototype, and the final design will be smaller and more streamlined. That's the way it is with a lot of electronics. They are designed using wires and full sized components. Once the function is established, then they design circuit boards and smaller components.

I like the idea, but the execution seems like it's aimed at failure.
