I have a feeling Alexa is like the majority of the world's women: She will never forget the things a man says to her, especially if they're bad things.
Amazon’s Echo has a new command: Alexa, forget everything I just said!
Los Angeles Times, May 29 2019 2:00 PM
Amazon is updating its Alexa voice software to let users delete recordings of their voice using a spoken command, a move that follows criticism of the company’s privacy practices related to its digital assistant. A set of updates offers users who have opted in online the ability to say "Alexa, delete everything I said today" or, in a coming update, delete their most recent utterance. Previously, the only way to remove recordings was a tool on the Alexa privacy website or on the companion smartphone app.

Do I want to spend $6,000 on Apple's Mac Pro, $5,000 on Apple's 32-inch 6K monitor and $1,000 on Apple's monitor stand plus an additional $1,000 in sales tax.......or should I spend that $13,000 on house payments, groceries, utilities, gasoline and clothing?
