Alias is a teachable “parasite” that only unlocks Alexa when you whisper its wake word
Alias is a teachable “parasite” that is designed to give users more control over their smart assistants, both when it comes to customisation and privacy. Through a simple app the user can train Alias to react on a custom wake-word/sound, and once trained, Alias can take control over your home assistant by activating it for you.
When you don't use it, Alias will make sure the assistant is paralysed and unable to listen by interrupting its microphones.
...
Alias acts as a middle-man device that is designed to appropriate any voice activated device. Equipped with speakers and a microphone, Alias is able to communicate and manipulate the home assistant when placed on top of it. The speakers of Alias are used to interrupt the assistance with a constant low noise/sound that feeds directly into the microphone of the assistant. First when Alias recognises the user created wake-word, it stops the noise and quietly activates the assistant with a sound recording of the original wake-word. From here the assistant can be used as normally.

Did anyone see the Amazon show Comrade Detective, which is a fictional communist propaganda series about Romanian cops fighting evil capitalists? There's a scene in it where in the American embassy, two guys are eating giant piles of hamburgers.

bubblegum wasnt invented until 1928 so if you travel to 1927 dont describe something as "bubblegum pink" or they'll know you're from the future and they will lock you in the clink— Gregory Mammal-Friend 🐀 (@cat_beltane) January 15, 2019

So I’m at @ATLairport and this may be the longest security line I have ever seen. Even growing up here, and even for a Monday morning.

They form a spider crawling on the ceiling
Originally in these shots, the Spiders were visualized as being spread out on the wall, but my Supervisor wanted to see them closer together. As I moved them closer while keeping their ability to move their limbs, it gradually evolved into this spider-like shape. 🕷️#SpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/uDnALpzvDF— Nick Kondo 近藤 (@NickTyson) January 14, 2019
