Anyway he should probably go to Google for this. They look way more advanced than all others.
And not sure how much money he has but there should be ml involved and that costs a pretty penny

A smartphone is an complex always on device with its own internet connection, microphone, GPS and camera.
We are not trading low risk UI with high risk UI. We switch or extend it to nodevice/voice control.
And I personally find it very impressive and subtile.
It just makes sense to use it in your kitchen, bedroom or on the Couch.
It is the same with Philips hue. Do I need it? No. Is it worth to me? Every penny. Why? Because it's a completely new level. Now you can combine lamps which had not one switch like your ceiling lights with a standlamp in the corner and you put your ligjtswitches where you actually are using them.
That was never possible before.and it's great for creating lightsettings. I'm using different lightsettings constantly.
For example our light is much less bright when I go to the toilet at night and it is motion detection based which I really love for our floor.

Indeed!

I have Alexa's and one Google home at home.
We now have cheap and good enough multiroom audio, voice controlled. It's used daily
We use very regular the weather forecast and timer and control our lights with it as well.
The future is here but it will probably go more in direction of offline assistance.
The integration in Philips hue, with more av receiver etc. Will just become even better.

I don't cancel Netflix because I don't mind anymore. There have and still are a few really good shows which would have cost me much more money what Netflix costs me.

Your archive on bigger drives next to it. Problem solved.
If that's not enough use zfs with a nvme cache and add a few more sticks of ram I to it.

If you read this and you have enough power to influence something like this and don't consider where your money comes from -> fuck you.
