Been trying to find a good tablet for productivity and recreation. Something that can be used for programming (Not web), and something that can play DRM content....

Theres Dicio, which honestly does all that I need a voice assistant to do, but I have to open the app to use it, I cant just say "Hey Dicio" or whatever. Is something like that possible?

If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?
