  1. The account linking is now working again, my account is linked, and #BbcSounds is back to normal. I wonder what broke in t’Cloud? 🤔

    #Alexa #amazonEcho

  2. And if I unlink the Skill and try to re-link it I get this 🤨

    Suspect there’s some broken identity/auth federation between Amazon and the BBC this morning…

    #BbcSounds #Alexa #amazonEcho

  3. Oh FFS, #BbcSounds on #Alexa this morning won’t let me do any on-demand stuff, like rewinding or playing archive shows, unless I link the app to my BBC account, and they offer to send a link to my Alexa app to tell me what to do.

    Great, except the Alexa skill is already linked to my account, Alexa knows it’s my profile active, and the link never gets sent.

    So now I have a hobbled BBC Sounds on our #amazonEcho devices that was working perfectly yesterday 😫

  4. My Amazon account has just been deleted.

    What concerns me, however, are the many amazon consumers who enthusiastically use Alexa, including, unfortunately, some of my acquaintances whom I would like to continue visiting...

    How do you deal with this?

  5. @web_martin @thimboo @caxo842000 Wie gut/sensibel ist das Mikrofon des Echos bei euch? Ich muss den Echo 8 fast anschreien, damit der HA Voice Assistant sich angesprochen fühlt. Besonders wenn Musik läuft.
    Ist das bei euch ähnlich?

  6. @thimboo @web_martin Ich würde Google Cast auch nur als lokalen Service zum abspielen verwenden. Wenn es was anderes gibt, gern auch das.

    Hat jemand eine Idee, wie man ein Android Tablet als Target in Music Assistant verfügbar macht?

  7. My #AmazonEcho uses a yellow ring notification to try a free #AlexaPlus trial every couple days, even though I say no every time. Decided to try saying yes, and then immediately canceling. Will they get the message that I don’t want it?

  9. Amazon Basics Smart Dimmer Switch and Remote for Music and Routines

    It's good for falling asleep to music as a basic physical remote control for volume, track skipping etc, without having to wake yourself up yelling commands or looking at a bright screen.

    I do wish it came with a dedicated TPU soft case / cover to protect it from falling off the bed onto a hard floor.

    Also when I initially set it up, I could setup *both* long press and single tap for a total of 8 commands.

    It happened to fall on the hard floor so I had to reset it. And now I only get one option for each button. Anyone have ideas how to go about fixing this, thank you.

  16. Amazon's new Echo Studio and Echo Dot Max are here, both starting at $100. The big question: is it worth the upgrade from your current smart speaker? This review takes a hands-on look to help you decide.

    Are you eyeing an upgrade, or is your current smart speaker still doing the job just fine?

  17. "Blend into the background," they said.
    Then your Echo Show shoves a drill bit ad in your face. 🙄

    Engadget's Amy Skorheim is so done with Amazon's un-opt-outable ads on her Echo Show, she's giving it away! Is this the blurry line for smart home tech, or just another cash grab?

  22. 📢 So, you've got two Amazon Echos that do nothing but guzzle #bandwidth like it's happy hour? 🍻 Congratulations on your newfound role as IT support for lifeless devices. Maybe if you disable some extensions, they might finally ask about your day. 😂

  23. Ars Technica: Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28. “Starting on March 28, recordings of everything command spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud.”

  24. Wenn ihr mir folgt, habt ihr wahrscheinlich kein Amazon Echo in Hörweite stehen. Wer sowas kauft, hat ganz sicher die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren. Das Gerät hat nicht umsonst mehrere #BigBrotherAwards »gewonnen«.

    Aber vielleicht kennt ihr ja Leute, die sich selbst was vormachten und dachten, sie seien auf der sicheren Seite, wenn sie anklicken, dass der Echo (Dot/Spot) die Spracherkennung selbst machen soll, statt alle Tonaufzeichnungen in die Amazon-Cloud zu schicken. Tja, diese Option schaltet Amazon Ende des Monats ab. Weil der Bullshit-Generator Alexa+ sonst nicht profitabel sei.

  27. Just out of curiousity, how many folks have a smart speaker (e.g. Amazon Echo, Nest Smart Speaker, Apple HomePod, etc) on Mastodon?

  28. I put a Bluetooth TV streamer remote into pairing remote and paired it with my android phone.

    I did this because I wanted to use it to control media on my Amazon echo pop.

    The volume buttons already work which is much better than having to use the phone volume buttons.

    I found a button mapper app to allow me to set the buttons to advance media or play pause etc.

    But what I don't understand is why Amazon doesn't have a more straightforward way of pairing remotes for controlling playback on their Amazon echo pop devices.

  29. Amazon's devices business lost $25+ billion between 2017 and 2021, largely because people who buy Echo devices at below-cost prices never end up using them to buy things or sign up for subscription services. That's why Amazon is expected to launch a premium version of Alexa soon for customers willing to sign up for a subscription. buff.ly/4fi01dm #Alexa #Amazon #SmartSpeakers #AmazonEcho #AmazonKindle #AmazonFire
