Amazon is upgrading its decade-old Alexa voice assistant with generative AI and plans to charge a monthly subscription fee to offset the cost of the technology.

Since it won’t come with my Prime sub, it’ll just get unplugged and thrown away.

I’ve got this neat device that uses a compressed liquid fuel to provide a concentrated, adjustable element of heat and light simultaneously; that can be administered to any object which will render it useless, if not absolutely destroyed.

Follow that up with direct strikes with a large chunk of metal, attached to a long wooden handle.

I have a blowtorch and a sledgehammer.
