Maybe she's improved. I had them both a couple of years ago (or whenever they first really came out) and Google was so much better at understanding what I said...
I shelled out on a new Goretex (stretchy) cycle top, as the Castelli windbreaker type just meant I sweat my *ss off. Tested this morning and seemed to do a great job. I don't know if I imagined it, but it seemed like I could feel the cool air getting in a circulating, but not blowing through me, so seemed to do an idea job of regulating my body temperature.

You had a row and she kicked you out didn't she.
I found the answers were almost identical, at least for what I was asking, but as said the google took about a second or two longer to respond each time.

Yeah, that was definately the case a few years back, but imho Alexa has not only overtaken, but put a huge gap between them both. Regarding speech recognition, boy the tables have turned. Alexa just gets everything, plus you can whisper to her and also have her shorted her replies, or have no replies at all which is good. Having google constantly saying "ok, playing so and so by artist blah on youtube music". You don't really need it.
Then there's the skills which add a lot of functionality. Plus the drop in feature, which also supports remote alexas in other houses. The assistant is just plain better too, which is surprising considering how clever Google engineers are. Alexa sounds more human too.
Yesterday, my google mini was flashing so I said, ok google, play notification....and it only went and started playing a song called notification lol
Looking at my contacts, way more people have the echos.

That's a 4th axis which works together with its tailstock (not shown). Having enough trouble getting just the XYZ axes to work with Mach3 software without adding that into the mix lol! It'll be a while before I will be using it but a 4th axis allows full machining of cylindrical things like (e.g.,) a chess piece where it's cut all over. This machine has a capcity of 300x200mm, I would have liked a bigger one but I don't really have the room - at least not in my workshop.

I did sleep in it last night
If she'd kicked me out though I'd be setting up the Airbeam!

Adam Savage's Tested did a cool review of a desktop CNC milling machine a few days back:
I've been trying to think of a reason why I would need one, but the wife is not convinced.

Is that a fingernail on the carpet?!
Lol, no, it will either be paint (the carpets going as soon as the new flooring is back in stock) or fine of the plastic bag / wrap off the table

That's gotta be a toenail.

I bought some SFU1610 ball-screws and some HGR20 rails.

Interesting.
Like @AndyCr15 i used to have Alexas around the house but got a free google home and found the responses were a lot better so switched over to Google devices. Mainly driven by the Nest camera integration, but a few of the things you've mentioned there suggests that Alexa has certainly improved a lot.

Yeah, although it's better I still use my google mini for youtube music as amazon doesn't support it
