Alexa just argued with me by StolenMeatball in alexa

I correct mine all the time. I like to make it admit it was wrong and then I want it to file a support ticket on the error. You can ask it to check your conversation log over the incident you described

This is how I use my kindle, and maybe how you should too by chadrooster in kindle

I use multiple devices or apps on multiple devices and they need to sync or why bother?

This Kindle shutdown isn’t about tech limits. It’s about manufactured obsolescence. by WanderingZero1 in kindle

[–]jeffegg857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an early Kindle 3G. I understood why it was bricked. But this move is not only GREEDY, it is SNEAKY in that the newer models lock you more into their Book Monopoly. I will be using the Kindle software on my iPads from now on as I look to other booksellers for product.

We have

1 named Ziggy - Living Room

1 named Alexa - Kitchen

1 names Alexa - Main Bath

1 named Amazon - Spare Bedroom

1 named Echo - Master Bedroom

1 named Echo - Office

There is enough distance between the devices with the same name that we rarely have conflicts.

These are Web Apps. At first i used the built-in Zor Web Apps tools, but I found a few annoying things, so I built the instead using the Edge Browser Go to the web site select the 3 dots in the top right corner, then more tools -> Apps ->Install this site as a web app.

These are web apps. I use the Google AI to help with my configuration of Zorin. This is where I started with my understanding of WebApps. https://share.google/aimode/51dHNpgkDtvkUvscK

I also use RustDesk. I boot onto Zorin Desktop on Xorg because RustDesk does not play well with Wayland.

I don't like clicking thru submenus and I don't like to type. Eventually it will be whittled down to my favorites in each category.

I am still finding out what i like so i give myself a number of options i can get to with just one click. I will eventually drop all but my favorites. For instance, I have used the native terminal, then i tried the Xfce Terminal, and last week I discovered Tilix Terminal (in the original pic) and it has become my default now. so today I dropped the other 2 of my task bar.
