Google vs amazon

[kakatiya]

A fight between two of the world’s biggest tech companies, Amazon and Google, just got nastier. It’s unclear who will win in the end, but one thing is clear—consumers will lose.

 

The bad news comes via Variety, which reports that Google is cutting off Amazon’s access to the popular YouTube app on the Echo Show speaker device and, starting in January, on the Amazon Fire Stick as well.

For millions of consumers, this means Amazon devices that they bought and that once played YouTube will no longer do so, forcing them to buy another streaming device—such as Roku or Google’s Chromecast—if they want to watch the video service.

Google’s decision amounts to the latest in a **-for-tat war as the companies battle for consumers’ attention. In a statement to Variety, a Google spokesperson lashed out at Amazon for, among other things, not selling Google products.

“We’ve been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other’s products and services. But Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of [Google-owned] Nest’s latest products,” said the spokesperson. “Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon.”

Its practically surveillance technology that you buy voluntarily to allow for someone snooping on you.

ofcourse I think having an android phone is stupid too. especially using its voice assistant.

you guys are giving your data to the corporates to create their AI for free. Their AIs suck anyway. But the more data you throw at it, the better it gets. Even without improving their fundamental algos.

i feel in this world, you cannot stop those companies from collecting data in one or other way, i trade off privacy over user-friendliness.
voice assistant is fine to be honest but i f*n hate facebook..i don't want the  related ads just because i just searched for some sh1t.. so uninstalled fb and messenger crap

There's an alternative for everything these days. including for android, and even open source mobile phones.

facebook is intrusive, but google is slimy. both are equally bad. I don't use any. I used to use duckduckgo for the past 5years. but now I've stumbled upon yacy, and I think its insanely good if you can get it to work for you.

I can write simple routines to do it myself. I used to use Zigbee (I think that's the name) for home automation.
