Susan.... Alexa got muddled up. She knows you log into this forum and meant to remind either Muddy or Tiff

Did you put her straight?

Well Pesta whatever it was I asked her to remind me about got lost in the confusion because I forgot what I asked her to remind me to do , I couldn't believe she told me to remember to go riding so something important got forgotten ....

But yes she possibly should have reminded the other two girls

Re: Alexa et al

Hi

I have both Alexa and Google.

Motion Sensitive outside lights, Ring Doorbell.

I can control the inside lights, fishtank, cooker etc by voice.

I think they are great.

I will start by saying that my stepdaughters job is working very hard to stop fraudsters breaking into your bank a/c. Technology is her world. Her home is Tech central.
She alerted me to this 'thing' some years ago, long before Alex came along.
She did a live 'demonstration' in her home.
She told us to talk about dog food. She's never had a dog and I haven't had one for some years ( way before the internet)
Low and behold up comes adds for dog food on her laptop.

Something odd about that.

If Alexa hadn't yet come along, what was listening?
