If it's a gadget that responds to voice command, I presume the name has to be distinctive so it can be easily recognised, like Cortana, Siri, Alexa etc.

My gadget? No, I just highlight the google mic and talk. No names, no pack drill.

I haven't bothered covering my laptop webcam. I just make sure I am covered when using it.

I use Tidal to listen to music streaming it almost always finds the music I want. I love boys toys and Ron is shortly buying me a new Xbox for my Birthday  so I can continue to play ‘Tombraider’  bit sad I suppose but great
Fun

I've got an XBox but I've only ever bought three games, but I couldn't get the hang of one of them, so now I've only got the two, it's very good for playing DVDs though.

i'm not a 'gamer' tho the following generations are, but they have to be able to sit to play... the only time i got to sit was between rounds as a youth boxing, but i still play, golf and fishing, tho i didnt manage fishing this year i still bought my licence just in case... i sorted my tackle out one rainy day, but it never got used... one of the big pluses of fishing is the anticipation, sorting your tackle for all eventualities... in the bad old days you could blank quite often but today with the commercial fisheries you might catch and release 200lb of carp...

I went fishing once in the early 70s and it was really boring, but it was in a Birmingham reservoir so not a very scenic location, I haven't been since mainly due to the fact there is no way I could handle a maggot or a live fish  ;D


The nearest I have to a boys toy is my camera which usually goes where I go  ::)

I've never fished as I can't see any justification for sticking a barbed hook into another living creature.

'Boys toys' is a disparaging sexist inference that only males use them but there must be females who have an XBox etc.

I eat fish but I've never fished as I would hurt anything for fun, just as I eat meat but wouldn't go hunting for fun. The fact that I can't see any justification for it doesn't meant that everyone won't.

The bit about the 'boys toys' was not intended to be serious, apart from the bit about females having an Xbox.  ;D
