What's a big tech product that you actually find useful? (feddit.it)

Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

Bro, fucking yes!!

I have 3 Google nest mini speakers or whatever they're called, and I bought these smart outlets at target.

Connected 2 of them in the master bedroom, to bedside lamps for wifey and i. Being able to use the Google home app from our phones to control, or as you said just "hey Google, turn on Daddy's lamp" is fucking solid. I hate flicking on light switches. Never realized it until I set this up.
