Comment Comment by jonahx The single funniest post I've ever read on HN was this response to the original Echo promo video:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8569219Original promo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkOCeAtKHIcThat aside, I like the idea of the Echo, just not the idea of giving Amazon permanent eavesdropping rights in my home. Any home automation enthusiasts know if there's open source software that provides similar services, but which I could run myself? parent jonahx 10 years ago
