OK, the 1.5 meter thing may have been a glitch on my end, but listen to the attachment to hear how she answers the circle one: |

Weird. It is almost like 'she' doesn't realise the difference between diameter and radius.
I was previously using my Alexa device and it gave the same answer whether I said a radius or diameter. But I just tried asking the Alexa app on my Ipad. She ignored the inches part, but gave the correct answer in both cases. |

The article says there will no be no charge for the current Alexa, and I hope that is true. I get enough unasked for suggestions as is, I'm not looking to pay for more.
"The report indicates that a subscription to the new virtual assistant, dubbed "Remarkable Alexa," could cost as much as $10 a month." I plan on sticking with the "Unremarkable Alexa". |

Fingers crossed they don't get the bright idea to take some of regular Alexa's functions away and hide them behind a paywall to "encourage" Smart Alexa subscriptions.

In the case of so-called home assistants like Siri and Alexa, I feel like “AI” stands for “artificial insanity”! I spend so much time arguing with them that I could save a lot of time just going to the apps and manually initiating a home routine. Neither Alexa or Siri are all that bright. At least Siri isn’t always trying to sell me something like Alexa, but Siri is ten times dummer than Alexa.

What happened to to Google's current Assistant in that survey? Presumably a huge portion of Android users still use that.

They got one of them wrong -- the Echo Wall Clock. Hangs in the kitchen near the stove, and can be seen from anywhere on the main floor. Don't care about the clock part, but the ability to see how much time is left on my kitchen timers is very useful. Especially because I can have multiple timers going while I'm cooking.
