@evacide I am offering a free service where I crush Amazon Echo devices with a hydraulic press.
@rasterweb @evacide put the videos on youtube/facebook and donate the proceeds to a needy charity or your neighbors or whatever.
@rasterweb Forgot to mention, i have a NiB echo show (i think) that I'd be willing to donate. Got it as part of a "smart home package" when I signed up for att fiber.
