If the TV show is available, may be. Having tried to do things like that myself, I came to the conclusion that, most of the time, I can obtain the result that I want faster and with far less frustration if I just do it myself with the remote control.
What I find amazing about Alexa (and the other digital assistants) is, on the whole, how limited they continue to be. There are very few things that they can do faster and better than people can do themselves with a minimum of effort. And they still spin their wheels hopelessly when you try to get them to do anything that contains even a little bit of ambiguity.
These assistants are great if you want to get them to do something that they have been taught to do. Otherwise, they are almost useless. The problem is, for the most part what they have been taught to do is something that either you can do yourself, faster and more efficiently, and with a minimum of effort, or else stuff that you are not really all that interested in - except, perhaps, for grins and giggles.
Does anyone need more evidence that Google really just does not care about anything but $$$$ and how quickly they can get to $100B stock market valuation.
Surely you mean 1000B = 1T - they currently are above 800B.
As a company, they seem to have the attention span of a two-year-old. One can't help but wondering what kind of a management layer they have? I mean, managers tend to be, by and large, useless; but those at Google seem to be worse than that.
The lesson after all these years of biometrics is that, to a concerningly large extent, security mechanisms based on biometrics can be bypassed, often by ridiculously pedestrian and simple approaches. Trust biometrics at your own peril.
Something to learn how AI is used to generate fads, buzzwords and content-free expressions, in general? I am sure current AI is well-suited for the job.
Which is an approach egregiously followed by Disney (up till now) and - most infamously - by DeBeers: diamonds are expensive, not because they are particularly rare (which they are not) but because the lowlifes from DeBeers control the market and the supply. They have thrived on the artificial scarcity that generate and control for over one hundred years now. Talk about greed.
Facebook can be very useful - as a garbage container. I use it for writing comments in web sites that require you to register - Facebook makes that straightforward and painless. I am guessing that, by virtue of this fact, those sites send a lot of trash to my Facebook account. I don't really know, as I don't log in to that account. An account that, on the other hand, I created with fake data throughout. By now it probably is nothing but an ever-growing cesspool. Facebook can deal with it.
I bought a premium phone in 2016 (Galaxy S7) and was fine with it until it died on me.
After less than three years? What kind of PoS is that? In my family we own eight old phones, none of them Samsung, none of them premium, at least six of them more than three years old - and all of them still functional.
What are the problems that D-Wave has so far managed to solve, that a conventional computer cannot solve just as efficiently and at a fraction of the cost?
Anyone who had to get their music from cassette tapes remembers what they sounded like. Cassette tapes may have become somewhat cool in some circles these days - but they still sound horrible.

Was it ever a thing?

It can handle "one step" things, and that's it.
It can handle a rather limited set of one step things, and not particularly well.

If you depend on some proprietary or online (or both) service, you're going to end up screwed eventually. Plan accordingly.
People keep moving most of their goodies enthusiastically to the cloud. Go figure.

Hopefully, they will make a decent product at a reasonable price, this time around. Nah.
I will forever remember where I was and what I was doing when I learned about such momentous, earth-shattering news.
Nyet, tovarich. You Russian trolls and astroturfers are SO transparent. Give uncle Volodya a big middle finger from all of us.
Interesting how this much-maligned, and all but dead, processor architecture remains immune to these attacks.
The man is anchored in the Cold War, and will remain there till he dies.
AKA Microsoft.
Kind of like Phillip Michael Thomas. decades of sobriety, relapsed, rehab, dead.
Quite. Except for the fact that he is still alive.
Is that a Windows-only thing?
Let's do it again!

I believe it is of Spanish origin, and nothing to do with mules.
Is mulatto an insult in the US of A?
