So who's bothered to change 'Alexa's' name (and/or voice)?

That's the Mrs sorted for Xmas.
That's the 2nd gen. Get the 3rd gen for £25 instead.
I've just ordered my 4th. Have you tried using one for an extended period?

Actually 20 quid for a dot, I think I might try one. I was gonna spend a tenner on an alarm clock anyway. Anyone idea if it works with Deezer? (or is that a dumb question, I have no idea)
or £25 quid for the 3rd gen?? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0792KWK57

Can you make the echo dot run batch files/powershell scripts anyone know?
Yes. Cheap cable from Alexa into the stereo. 'Alexa, play Little Richard'. Job done.
Yes, so don't bother using that function.
I have a timer on my cooker, but why use that when I can just ask alexa while my hands are full?

If you’re tech savvy enough to need to ask that question, I’d say you should be more than able to find out the answer yourself

Well I have an arduino and Raspberry PI here, but I want an out the box quick solution for um, a little prank at work. I saw someone on Youtube running some BI stuff with an alexa but I think he wrote a java or c# plug in/extension (and I'm not a programmer, just enough bits to be dangerous at Christmas...)

I need a telly [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]
This would take some beating I think?

Whats the likelihood of getting one any idea fellas? Not done this before. Would you need to queue at stupid o'clock to stand a chance of picking up this kind of deal?
If anything jumps out on Amazon at you can you post it so I can you the NSC link (£200 quid or there abouts. Price is more important than even size due to its intended usage really as a 2nd screen though I'd want 33" plus but not bigger than this one)
All niche. Very, very niche.

In Curry's the other day and I see they are doing a Samsung 8k TV for £14999!
I'm only just getting used to 4k which is immense but 8k already? Will there be 16k in a couple of years? Anyone thinking of an 8k telly?

Do they do Ovens ?
Did you have the standard Echo? The Echo Dots (cheaper and smaller) should have them. They have a 3.5mm out.

The new Echo Input - https://amzn.to/2QNy5mg - might do something like this (I've lazily not checked).
