It’s pretty cool how things we purchase can just lose functionality at the drop of a hat.

Just as a little tip, in the US if you switch your Echo’s language to US-CAN it displays way less ads :)
Those things have ads? Why would you intentionally buy an advertisement billboard for your house?
It’s a toss up, but it pretty much only shows just photo/link ads. The one that they’ve really been pushing recently is that Disney platformer game on the Switch for some reason.
Yea but you still willingly put a little billboard in your house and you even paid them to do it 🤷♂️
I love paying a faceless corporation that hates humans to remind me everyday that capitalism is killing me!
Sorry, what I meant was that the ads are extremely easy to ignore, and you can immediately swipe through them if you want to. I use mine exclusively as an alarm clock anyways.
Ah, similar trick works with some viruses. If you set the keyboard layout or timezone to Russian, the ransomware will not encrypt your files.
