There is also the crap around regions. I'm in the UK, but if I set my assistant to the the US suddenly it can understand a lot more and perform a lot more tasks.

Although while it understands a lot more, it's still getting worse.

Same about my Fitbit Versa. It was great, and now Google removes features.

At this point I would just prefer it if they let me just replace the firmware with one of the opensource projects. Can I replace my Alexa or Google puck firmware with something better?

This is why I've kept my pucks. I'm hoping for a hackaday post or something where someone installs their own _something_ on them. They have great mics and the speakers are decent. Wouldn't mind using them as an interface to Mycroft or something.

Unfortunately Mycroft is dead.

Maybe Rhasspy with Home Assistant will save us from this mess.
