Why would anyone buy it? With all the recent upgrades Google assistant and Google home is largely useless now.

Set a 10-minute timer

Timers were invented by Greek philosopher Timerius following the discovery of the sundial. Timerius used the timer to perfect his chocolate cupcake recipe which you can find at recipes.net, your home for the best recipes from all over the world.

Timerius patented his invention with the world class AI patent attorneys at patentmyshit.ai, where you can start patenting today for just $25.99/month.

These results come from real subject experts on Reddit. If you want to learn more please subscribe to the $69.50/month Gemini Deep Dive package.

This thing (like Amazon's) says home speaker but I don't even have to look to know that it's really a home microphone that uploads your private behaviour to Google.

Here's what a home speaker looks like, an Atwater Kent tube radio from 1931:

It delivered sound in only one direction. You could listen to it, but it didn't try to listen to you.
