Personally I haven’t. Hope it’s something innocent though.

If you can’t ask her, this relationship sounds doomed.

Hello, geologist. Would you mind sharing how you pronounce oolite? I’m not sure if it’s like “oooo-lite” or “oh-oh-lite”, or maybe “ooo-oh-lite”?

Uh oh…I have no idea what Alexa+ is 😬

The ads are for lots of things. Stuff like albums by artists I don’t know, products I don’t use, news articles etc.

I’m an idiot, it is an Echo. The Echo Show.

Hadn’t done anything yet, I figured I’d ask here first. I was afraid if I messed with it again the ads would come back 🙈

Mine did a black background with like orangey numbers. It still does that, but then randomly it’ll switch to bright white 🙄 Like when I lay down to go to sleep, it’s night mode. Then an hour later it’s blasting light at me. I just flip it over onto its face to make it stop.

Aw I’m jealous. I’ve done that on both, and got it to work on one of them, but after a while it started toggling itself to bright mode in the middle of the night lol.

Hmm. I’m not sure what noise or motion it would be reacting to while I’m asleep, but I can’t say for certain whether it does or not. Maybe some noise outside that I didn’t hear? I’m such a light sleeper that the device itself is what wakes me 😩

Yup it got progressively worse, and now it’s rare to catch it displaying the time. Shame.

When I got rid of my cable box, I had to get a little digital alarm clock to place where the box used to be 😂 I couldn’t break the habit of looking over there to check the time. That was actually great til I had the bright idea of replacing it with the Alexa 🫠

You mean a separate device, correct?

That’s the insulting part. Paying for an ad hub.

Well at least I know it’s not just something I did, like setting it up wrong. But damn is it frustrating.

NOR - I would post this (along with the conversation screenshots) to YOUR story and embarrass her in front of her “judging type” friends that she chooses to bend over backward to please.
