"Wakey, wakey, little matey!"

Hook it up to an speech recognition-challenged "smart" speaker that will dutifully play death metal when you order it to turn off the damn lights for teh win.



I set one up to play "Christmas everyday" when I say "Hey google, it's Christmas"

The only problem is it still announcing "playing Christmas everyday on YouTube music by..." I wanted it to just start playing.


At least it recognized the command instead of replying "No, it is in fact October 12, 2023. Please check your settings in your Google Home app. Would you like me to send a link to your phone?"

I swear it behaves more like Clippy every day.
