Unfortunately, whoever decided on the name appears to not have done a simple Google search first.

To be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with a device designed to allow you to "unplug and take Alexa anywhere you choose." Some people really like their Dots, and if those people want to buy a battery pack so they can tote their smart speakers along with them to the beach or whatever then so be it.

However, when that device's name doubles as a perhaps unintentional attempt to reclaim doxing? Well, I don't know, maybe take it as an opportunity to meditate on the little remaining privacy you have left.
