Amazon's Raspberry Pi Guide Lets Coders Build An Echo (bbc.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from BBC: Amazon has published an online guide explaining how to access its virtual assistant Alexa via a Raspberry Pi. The walkthrough includes access to the necessary app data and certificates in order to link the budget computer up to the tech giant's servers. Amazon says that users require at least the second-generation model, released in February 2015, as well as: a plug-in USB microphone, microSD card, ethernet cable, Wi-Fi wireless adapter, mouse, keyboard, and screen. The coding involved is limited to typing in sets of commands, but the guide explains the purpose of each one. Users also need to register for an Amazon Developer Account, which they can get for free.

Re: Where is Google? Where is Microsoft?

Not Microsoft's fault for developing an AI that accidentally imitated racist humans and ended up racist. In fact, this whole PC shit needs to end. You can't even tell the truth anymore if it offends anyone. Like the Harvard professor who mentioned true facts about women in mathematics and sciences. If the facts don't correspond to the feminist PC narrative, they must be suppressed.

Science is no longer about finding the truth, bit rather about just trying to justify whatever the fashionable progressive narrative is (equality, global warming, anti-war, anti-gun, CEOs and corporations are evil, and so on)

Oh, hey! Microsoft's Slashbot is still running!
