A crazy number of people are buying products with Alexa in them. I don't really get it to be honest. It seems like mostly just a novelty.

I bought a phone mount for my car that had Alexa built in. The software fucked up after 2 weeks, but it's still the best physical design for a phone mount that I've found. So it's unplugged and got a dead battery and just holds my phone.
