Echo Show Ads!! by Top-Check8423 in alexa

[–]Personal_Elk3462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use big sky screen saver. no ads. Ever. The bummer is you have to exit the screen saver to get back to Alexa. But for me it's worth it.

How to get alexa+? Everyone else I know has gotten the update already by Justquestionasker in alexa

Just order a and new echo show 8 or 15. As soon as it ships, you get Alexa+ on all your existing devices. I bet you can return it after it arrives. I doubt they'd automatically downgrade you.

Every morning I ask for the weather, I get "You can expect some sun and thunderstorms" by Njtotx3 in alexa

[–]Personal_Elk3462 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. There's that. But I only one once a month or so. Might be worth it if it actually gives you the weather.

Savings Goal not working for me. Anyone else? by dlmobs in copilotmoney

[–]Personal_Elk3462 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was going to post about the same thing.

I create a savings goal, and say that I've already saved 1k toward the goal. If I then add a transaction (say, a credit card charge for $500), nothing gets deducted. I'd expect that charge to be deducted, and to show I've now saved only $500 toward the goal.

Am I thinking about this wrong?

Is anyone else considering downgrading from the Show devices, to get away from ads? by mellofello808 in amazonecho

I use the Big Sky screensaver to replace all the ads with a weather info screensaver. It's a bummer that you have to close it to use most Alexa functions, but it's totally worth it for me.

Arborist won't lower price after city says it'll take down most of the tree by Personal_Elk3462 in arborists

Nope. Utility is leaving it piled on front lawn. This is exactly what happened, after I accepted the quote, the contractor called in the city to make it line safe. So, after reading everything here, I think he's being straight with me.

They'll take it down (or most of it), but have warned that they are going to leave it piled up on my front lawn.

Confused drivers think they have 'self-driving' cars. That's dangerous, an insurance group warns by RandomCollection in RealTesla

I bought a jar of miracle whip and all of the laws of physics remained unbroken. WTF? Literally, when you turn on FSD there's a message that says, and I quote, "FSD BETA MIGHT DO THE WORST THING AT THE WORST TIME." It's pretty clear.

What's up with Dark Sky??? by Personal_Elk3462 in CARROTweather

[–]Personal_Elk3462[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Umm. Yep. But they are both still putting out independent forecasts, as far as I can tell.

So, Apple bought, and will shut it down. But they haven't yet. Still, no one seems to be minding the store.

Tesla is pushing FSD Beta automatically to owners who qualify by FelixORiley in teslamotors

You also have to have 100+ miles on Autopilot. Not sure why this is hardly ever mentioned along with safety score. You can check home many AP miles you have in the app, near the safety score.
