Soapy FFC Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Amazon Alexa accounts. We use Google devices and all the devices, phones, tablets, speakers etc use the one centralised contacts list, so change a contact on one device and it is changed on them all. Compare that to the clusterf**k that is Alexa. My wife’s elderly aunt uses Alexa to chat to my mother-in-law. Recently I had to change my mother-in-law’s Alexa account, so the aunt’s contact list needed updated. She has an Echo device, as well as a tablet and phone with Alexa on them. The tablet and phone are now so old that the Alexa app no longer works on them, so I went to delete the old contact details for my mother-in-law on the Echo, but it wouldn’t allow that. I installed the Alexa app on my phone and logged in to her account, but it only allows you to delete/modify contacts on the device that the contact was originally added, which is the tablet and phone that no longer work. So, from what I can see there is no easy way to delete old contacts as the contact list seems to be a collection of individual device contact lists, rather than one big master list. She now has 3 or 4 different entries for my mother-in-law in her contact list with only one of them correct, and no way of changing or deleting the incorrect ones. I hate Amazon Alexa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a comedian explain the difference between cat and dog owners "What kind of a dog is it?" "It's a labrador cross with a boxer and there's a bit of spaniel and poodle thrown in.

Genuinely thought you got Siamese and cats until recently! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just lost mow mow but still have Blindy and Ginger. Blindy isn't blind though as she has one eye, and Ginger is actually tortoiseshell. My wife names them - this could have equally been posted in the ITYPD thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 1. Pushy customers on marketplace. 2. Pushy customers on marketplace who constantly ask "will you be home in an hour?!" throughout the day, and don't bother turning up in the end after saying they'll be there in 15 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
