  1. Re:I know two types of Echo owners on Only a Small Percentage of Users Buy Stuff Through Alexa, Report Claims (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I use it almost every day to turn on a single lamp that didn't have a switch by the door. That is 90% of my use for it other than to sometimes read the news.

    I bought a Google Home for the same reason, just because I was tired of constantly having to get up off my desk every time I wanted to turn my light on (and then get back up again to turn it off). I spent $30 on a smart bulb and $30 on the Google Home literally just for that luxury LOL. I also use the Google Home to set countdown timers for tasks like doing chores, and to tell me the time when I'm laying in bed. I don't care for any of its other benefits--but I do dream of an automated Smart Home in the future.

    You're kinda wrong. I've seen benches where certain apps go from 9 second load times to 6 second load times. Sure it's not that big of a deal when you're literally talking just a few seconds, but that's still a 33% increase in real-world performance.

  17. I always wonder why people use AT&T as their mobile operator in the first place. It is consistently more expensive, and doesn't have the best coverage either. There must be something I am missing.

    Coverage varies by your geographical location. Yeeears ago when I first started with cell phones and was under my parents' AT&T plan, I would notice that I had signal in places my friends didn't (and we all used the same Nokia phone so it wasn't the antenna), so I stuck to AT&T. These days I use Cricket, and I read a review of a guy saying that he had better signal and signal in more places with AT&T/Cricket than with T-Mobile/MetroPCS, so I'm sticking with Cricket. I may switch to the AT&T prepaid plan, $40/mo for 8GB data, currently paying $35/mo for 5GB data (throttled to 8MBit). In my area, another carrier simply wouldn't make sense. What *I* wonder is why more people don't use prepaid. I mean people can finance their phones independently, so why even bother with the pricier contract deals anymore.
