Nope, it's just you.... boomer ;-)

I've no real appreciation of voice-commands. I usually find it --and
the resultant output-- too low-information for my preference. I'm much
happier going to a proper screen and finding my info using a keyboard
or mouse; it's not much slower, and the results are more to my liking.
But when I do use them, I just shout them into the air, like Captain
Picard, and expect the robot slave to serve me at my whims. ;-)

Except I still need to go press the button first. I may accept
voice-commands in my life, but I'll be damned if I allow an
always-listening (always feeding corporate data-gobblers) to have full
access to my life. Even Picard knew to double-tap his comm-badge first
;-)
