Damien on December 7, 2017It all started with an Echo. My story begins with the Amazon Echo. Go read that other story for a review about those.

Tommy on November 8, 2017Update: A previous version of this post claimed that if you had Google's Preferred Care on the Pixel 2 XL, that you could get two replacements for free. This is untrue.
