Can't wait for google/ Amazon to declare no more software updates and obsolescence for my installed devices. Rich or not, its a pain to deal with.

    It's a good conversation topic for the one time your buddies haven't seen your parlor trick. Just think: if my parents come over to my smarthome, they're not gonna be able to turn on the lights because I've moved on to voice commands now. It sucks.
