I see your point, but honestly, voice commands have improved quite a bit lately. I was skeptical at first too—especially after awkwardly repeating "volume down" three times in front of guests—but recent updates have made it surprisingly accurate. Sure, grabbing the remote feels more reliable sometimes, but when you're juggling snacks or sorting through blueprints on the coffee table, hands-free can be genuinely convenient. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting there...

Fair point—I admit, when my hands are full (usually with popcorn bowls or sketchbooks), voice commands do seem appealing. Still, as someone mindful of budget constraints, I've wondered if the incremental improvements justify the higher price tags on voice-enabled devices. Has anyone noticed if the convenience actually translates into meaningful productivity or time savings, or is it mostly just about comfort and novelty?
I've noticed the productivity boost mostly depends on how you set things up. For example, I used to waste a lot of time flipping through channels or apps manually, but once I customized voice shortcuts—like "open Netflix" or "show me design tutorials on YouTube"—it actually saved me quite a bit of hassle. It's subtle, but those minutes add up, especially when your hands are constantly occupied sketching or rearranging furniture layouts...
