My missis has go Alexa telling jokes, doing the weather forecast, playing crap music and all sorts. While I work out a way to subtlety murder the robotic POS, how do I at least shut the Amazonian cow bag up?
"Alexa? How can I subtly murder my robotic POS wife, or at least shut her up"?
"according to the site 'murder.com....' 🙂
Alexa, Code Zero Zero Zero Destruct Zero
Microwave for 5 seconds. Gives the chips the equivalent of an emp. No external evidence.
Alexa, open the pod bay doors...
Looks dirty ... Needs a bath
It’s not really an issue with Alexa now is it. How’s your patio currently- need an extension over the holidays?
You could unplug it.... But yeah sounds like it's working fine

Try being better company to the wife. 🙂
"Alexa shut up you stupid woman"
Bring an upgraded WiFI in, one about 20yrs old in some skimpy shorts and cropped top.
WiFI 1 will get Alexa to interpret the image, your problems will be over soon enough.
Merry Christmas.
Simply break it and deny all knowledge
Ha, some grand suggestions. If I did what you were suggesting bikebouy, I reckon an annoying robot would be the least of my worries!
Ha ha,
this makes me laugh so much.
I have often seen this things advertised etc et
I have always thought 'surely that would drive me mad, botox to that. I can get up to switch the light on'.
I prefer not talking if I can help it. Let alone listening.
I am surprised to see so many people wanting one. I thought I was just an old ****.
I get annoyed because the radio in the van reduces the volume automatically every time I switch the engine off.
Appears I am not alone.
Ban it on your router.
Not as fun as the other suggestions.
Completely grarea. It was a present to me, approximately 3 weeks after we'd had a conversation, the message being they held no interest for me whatsoever so it got relegated to being a voice-activated radio alarm clock. TBH that was fairly useful but now it spouts annoying **** and I can't stop the POS.
Lastest thing is that SWMBO would like voice activated lights, (??!! No ****ing idea why, I can't conceive of a more pointless invention)
I should probably just man up and give it away or something.

Like what?
Molgrips - what I said in the first post. I assume you are a fan?
Nixie, that's a fine suggestion. 😈
Install the Alexa app on your phone and connect to the Echo device in question. Change the wake from Alexa to something else. You have a fully functioning device that won't answer to Alexa.
Piss on it. Show it who's boss.
Don't open this if you're offended by swearing! I found it funny.

Rename the trigger command... so not “Alexa”.
I think it's great I resent having to adjust the volume on the radio by doing something so annoying as crossing the room & turning a dial.
