Want to change Alexa’s voice? While the soft tones of Amazon’s popular smart assistant have won over many, there are plenty of good reasons for wanting it to sound a little different. Maybe you’d rather hear a different language, or accent – or maybe you’re a bit tired of tech companies  using female voices for their  subservient  AI products . Alexa isn’t the most flexible in this area, but there are a few things you can do to amend the way Alexa’s voice is deployed in your home – say, on the  Amazon Echo   smart speaker , or whatever  newfangled shower head you have installed in your bathroom  – or on your smartphone.  Here’s how to set Alexa’s language, access the special Samuel L.

EARLY VERDICT The Fujifilm X-T4 is shaping up to be one of the best mirrorless all-rounders you can buy.

That said, Intel still dominates the market with its integrated and discrete GPUs, taking 63% of the market share in Q4. And, Nvidia is still king of the discrete GPU game, taking 73% of discrete GPU shipments in 2019 over AMD’s 27%. However, the fact that AMD's GPU sales are steadily going up is still great new
