I was fortunate enough to get my hands on one a few months ago, and it may or may not have prompted me to say goodbye to my Echo Show. But I recently found myself compelled to try Google’s new Nest Hub Max, as I’d heard it could help me whip up recipes in the kitchen and control all my smart home devices by simply using my voice. Personally, I’ve had an Echo Show from Amazon for a couple years, and use it frequently. Tech brands are finding fresh ways to integrate even more convenient features into their smart products (e.g., the Facebook Portal, Amazon Echo Show, Eve Door & Window Sensor, etc) that allow us to communicate with and control just about anything.

And though we’re not there yet, there are certainly some smart home devices out there today that can help tremendously with other tedious tasks. Besides making me sob, it had me wishing I had a robot that could bring me food whenever I wanted.

The other day I was watching Finch, Tom Hanks' latest movie, on Apple TV+ (it’s very sad, in case you’re wondering).
