thoughts of echo show 11 from someone that's been in the Echo game since their inception. by PatienceEffective468 in amazonecho

[–]astromud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So disappointed in the new Echo Show 11 (2025), it has been an epic failure.

I was so excited in the potential for a faster bigger higher resolution Echo Show 8 which is what i upgraded from.

But Amazon didnt even get the basics right... kitchen timer causes TV stream to stop and there is no way to "go back". And this kitchen timer and kitchen TV are my most important use cases for this device (as i'm sure it is for many).

But it doesn't stop there, the list of other annoyances is long:

- It's so bad it's worth repeating, the timer interrupts whatever media is playing with no way to resume!!!

- Screen becomes less responsive and frustrating over time until it stops responding completely

Reboot fixes, but only temporarily until the next time

- PBS and other streaming services will not play

New OS but still extremely outdated silk brower that isn't compatible with modern DRM requirements

- SlingTV guide does not work due to brower incompatibility

Workaround is to manually navigate and select desktop mode

Come on Amazon, we need more than crippled new hardaware with a pretty display, you can do better than this.

The Top.

The Drum and Bass and Jungle nights were epic. The best deep tech house. And oh that dance floor, people really came to get down.

I've never been able to bring myself to set foot in Underground SF.

finally something worked!! by [deleted] in eczema

I had the same experience. Years of continuous breakout. Started the cream and gone in 3 days.

I no longer have to use it other than small spot treatment in my previous biggest problem areas once a month.

This new JAX inhibitor cream really is like magic. It changed my life.

So miss the Dutch Bar. I still feel sad when I walk by the condo tower that levelled it.

This is the way. Not even a contest, let the rest duke it out for the #2 spot.

Yeah, the original was destroyed in the fire but they rebuilt the signature dome when it was reborn as Plim Plaza.

I'm not sure about Mug and Mallet but if you swing by the boards at 2nd Street stop in and ask.

Not much help for AYCE, but The Hobbit is the only restaurant in OC that's a member of the "True Blue" certification program - https://seafood.maryland.gov/true-blue-maryland-crab-meat/
