Echo Dot (5th Gen)

I did too. I was very deep in their hands and now feel very guilty about the amount of Amazon things I own (echo dots, Amazon tv, kindle) but I’ve cancelled all my subscriptions with them. I plan on just continuing using the stuff I already own without subscribing to any of their services, but the g

I hate how everything is turning into a billboard now, too. Oh, you’ve owned your tv for two years now? Well we just ran an update to show you commercials during the “screensaver” mode. Want no ads?

In my new room, I’ve set up an Echo Dot 5th Gen with an ultrasonic motion detector that’s supposed to sense when people are present. However, I still w

I use Amazon as I have an echo and a few dots around the house. It’s really handy to shout ‘Alexa add eggs to shopping list’ when I remember it.

Pre-op I was in exceptionally severe pain - couldn't go into my desk job because I was walker-bound so the walk into the office was brutal and I also couldn't sit in a desk chair all day. My fusion was in 2016 so remote work wasn't normalized at that time; I had to go on long-term disability from wo
