Who has their Amazon Astro ordered

[BAMAboy18]

As if Alexa wasn't bad enough, I guess you could go to the garage to talk privately, now pushing a robot that can follow you, WTF!?
Not that I have a garage, or Alexa, or internet, or a computer or even TV service in my home. I hate that I have a "smart" phone. But with nothing else I'm kinda dependant on it. And it's, no doubt, the worst intrusion device.

 

[HeavyAssault]

Get an Australian Cattle Dog you'll experience the same thing. LMAO

I'm in the middle. I love the ideas of home automation, I just hate the "it's got to be connected to the internet".

 

[Steel+Killer]

Amazon Astro is ‘terrible’ and will ‘throw itself down’ stairs, developers reportedly claim

The leaks about Amazon’s robot have already started

$20 says I’d throw it down the stairs long before it ever had the chance to do it on its own.

 

[samadisoulcrusher]

Yea, lets make it even easier to collect even more data about yourself and family . And pay for the privilege of the robot to collect and sell your data to the CCP and other government groups and agencies . Or anybody else who wants it .

 

[johnnyvw]

But...it's 3 laws safe!

Yeah but that heeler is on your side. There not going to report you....


On the home automation there are ways to do it without the big tech. Most of our system was built around OpenHAB. I can run it as without internet as long as I am on the Wi-Fi.

 

[alpine44]

Here is what you finance when you order anything on Amazon:

Surveillance
Censorship
Propaganda
and a flying dick for Mr. dick pics.

But they ARE watching you.....LOL

 

[kindabitey]

I wouldn't bet on it. My last one would have turned me in for sausage biscuit

 

[HeavyAssault]

^^ TRUTH!!

 

[M8541Reaper]

I’ll buy one if it can catch trace, read wind, and whisper sweet nothings into my ear at the range. Shit, if it can be programmed to clean my rifle and load ammo, I’ll fuckin marry it and identify as transrobot in order to avoid the new SkyNet tax regs.

Glue a fleshlight to it and have it drive forward and backwards with a wig on

 

[TurboTrout]

Does the Astro come with this, to help you prelube for that 4th amendment ass rape you’re signing up for?

 

[hlee]

It’s pretty ironic that being a Luddite is so chic on the Internet.

Uhh that’s like saying it’s odd when people who support gun rights don’t like it when scums bags shoot at them.

I love tech, got tons of it and enjoy the new stuff, that said I don’t enjoy paying to have my home bugged, or giving up more of what privacy I have left just so I can order stupid chinese trinkets a little faster, or change the channel a little easier. Cost V Benefit.

Crazy how the constitutional minded Americans don’t like a spy device from the Corp branch of government in their home

I was speaking more to the point of “I don’t have internet or TV in my house and if I could get a phone cord long enough I’d ditch cellular too- typed on this infernal pocket PC thang, please excuse the typos because my calligraphy set is in the shop.” Not, the aversion to this Amazon thing.

 

[Dave62677]

That should be a good 22LR moving target

Fair enough

Per the smart phone, with a little effort and tweaking, I think the benefit for most of what I do put weighs the cost.

Turn it to airplane mode before getting home, use it on a VPNed WiFi when you get home.

Mine switches to WiFi calling and with good always on VPNs it mitigates things a bit.

Though I don’t upload anything to the cloud (aka other people’s computers) and I disable stuff like Ultra Wideband (UWB) support, not ideal, however having the power of the internet in your pocket is a pretty powerful tool.

 

[acudaowner]

even funnier things said picked up and stored by that thing can be used against you in a court room by whom ever except it does not work the other way around you can't legally record someone without there knowledge against them mad against something the socialist do speak your mind in your own home could end up somehow putting you in jail I am almost glad we have little to nothing like that cell phones are black magic taboo as they can also be used in or around the same way that also goes for wifi home security systems and baby monitors we stuck with sticks and coffee cans on string lol mmm smoke signals almost forgot about war drums . .

 

[Son of Dorn]

I'm just saying, this is how the Butlerian Jihad started. This is why robots are banned in Warhammer 40K.

This can only end one way. And it's not the happy Short Circuit kind of ending where Johnny Five rides off into the sunset.

I'd think the thing would make an awesome target.

Imagine a USPSA stage with three or four of them running around for you to shoot

 

[akmike47]

Put the brain from that thing in an electric wheel chair sporting one of these, teach it to talk dirty, and live out your days on a beach made of dollar bills.

Rebecca 1.0 is fucking smokin hot

Didn’t know she had a name I thought THOT-Bot fit well,

“THOT-Bot what’s the capital of Argentina?”

How the hell do they call the real dolls anyway? She don’t even have razor burn or a random butt pimple?

Is Resting Bitch Face an option?

If she talks or says one fucking word, The deal is off. I ain’t paying $7500 for something that wants to talk shit but can’t make a sandwich.

I just figured it would give stupid answers

“The hell you talking bout the capital of Argentina is anal?”

 

[Schroedernd]

Damn this is scary. Between my 5 Amazon echo dots, harmony smart hub, 5 ring cameras (one on the gun safe at all times, duh), 2 smart robot vacuums, smart sprinkler system, 5 smart water leak detectors, smart garage door, smart lights and outlets, smart thermostat, and smart outdoor area lighting, this robot thing is where I draw the line at!

 

[HeavyAssault]

Some of that comment is going to depend on your state laws. Read the books.

 

[Aries256]

I personally would rather have a mr.gutsy. Lol

 

[TheGerman]

A few years back before my mom became super Trump supporter, she sent me one of those Alexa things for Christmas.

Immediately I was like WTF is this shit and it stayed in the box for months. One day she calls me all frantic and tells me to disconnect it and throw it away as it records everything in the house, etc.

I'm like, no shit lol

I also like how DISH upgraded to 'smart' remotes that listen to you. Sent me one 'for free' and I laughed as it went straight from my doorstep into the dumpster.

This Astro thing is literally an idiot test. Anyone that has and paid for one is a complete idiot.

Only the most delusional naivettes would actually think that governments, sexual pervert clubs, and corporations would not take advantage of a smart device that is connected to the Internet and can "listen" to you, to do nefarious things to you.

One of the things that was "invented" very shortly after the development of reliable hand held cameras in the late 1800s was a device looking like a cane or umbrella that could be used to take discreet upskirt pictures of women walking on the street or riding subway trains/trolleys. No doubt created by a fraternity of late-Victorian perverts for the enjoyment of their voyeurism. It was featured in NYC's 'Museum of Sex'. So anyone who actually thinks that nobody out there will take advantage of a network connected "smart" device to spy on you really got shit for brains.

If you would have told me this 10-15 years ago I would have laughed at you and told you to go back to your jerky and beanie babies table at the gun show.

Now, we have the FBI literally requesting access to 200k ProtonMail accounts for no actual fucking reason at all.

Somebody already make a documentary about the dangers of Astro:

 

[Herb Stoner]

Some friends have an Alexa. I like to ask it for odd things to see what it does like, "Alexa, send hookers and blow."

Pisses his wife off which is mildly entertaining.

FYI - Alexa didn't delver my request...

I should create one that after you put the money in it punches you in the face and laughs at you. Put it in libtard areas, make a fortune.
