A dot hunts for local stock of trading-card draft packs

David Barnard says he asked his dot to find other local stores with LOTR draft packs in stock, and it began talking to a human through computer use in Safari.

What it is

David Barnard (@drbarnard) posted that he and a friend found enough LOTR draft packs at a local Best Buy for an 8-person MTG draft night. He says he tasked his dot with finding other stores in the area with stock, because the Best Buy website does not list stock for this SKU. He says the dot is now talking to a human via computer use in Safari, and jokes that he has to train it to interact with actual humans. This page restates that user post.
