I was sent an ad from Amazon for their new product Halo.
I don't do Siri, Alexa, or any other voice operated devices, so why they thought I would be interested, makes me question their algorithms.
Well ease dropping isn't how it is being marketed.
For me, it is a big Hell No! to Halo.

Quote:AmazonAmazon is getting into the health gadget market with a new fitness band and subscription service called Halo. Unlike the Apple Watch or even most basic Fitbits, the Amazon Halo Band doesn’t have a screen. The app that goes along with it comes with the usual set of fitness tracking features along with two innovative — and potentially troubling — ideas: using your camera to create 3D scans for body fat and listening for the emotion in your voice.https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/27/21402...vity-sleep
