How to change your Amazon Echo's wake word to "Computer," you Star Trek nerd you

Yes, Amazon's Alexa will now respond to "Computer". Here's how to set it up.

If you haven't read the news this evening, I have a bright spot of information for you: You can now set your Amazon Echo, Tap, or Dot's wake word to "Computer", delighting Star Trek geeks around the United Federation of Planets, United States. Sadly, much as we might long for a Sulu "Oh, my!" in response, or a serenade from Q, Alexa will still respond in its age-old timbre.

Still, Alexa has a few tricks up her sleeves for enterprising fans of the science-fiction series; for a fun (albeit not-quite-series-accurate) one, command your Echo: "Computer! Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." Sadly, you won't actually get the replicator-created beverage you desire, but the AI line must be drawn somewhere, after all. And, for now, it's here. This far. No further.

Want to change your Amazon Echo, Tap, or Dot's wake word to "Computer"? Here's how to go about it.
