A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

there's a free app that lets you change the activation phrase for google now on android and I'd be surprised if there wasn't an equivalent on ios for siri

i was trying to figure out wtf amazon was thinking since really anybody that would even want this almost undoubtedly already has this functionality (as has been stated here already)

but then i remembered how many gotta catch em all type tech weirdos and amazon fanatics there are and tbh this thing will end up probably selling ok, especially if the bluetooth speaker its actually high quality

if its a quality speaker i would get one for $100 tbh, assuming it was at least $100 worth of speaker quality

There is no activation phrase for Siri it is a button press or hold. This is configurable with an app though.

I am planning on getting one purely for the ask it a question about something random feature.
