My daughter has found out about the many skills she can add to her new Amazon Alexa. Not a big deal, except some cost money and she’s already run up a bigger bill than I want. Is there a way to disable voice purchases or at least add a password or other confirmation in Alexa?
I just got a new Amazon Echo Studio speaker and it’s great. I want to replace my old Amazon Alexa Echo with the Echo Studio but want to have the new speaker be assigned the same name as the old one. Is that possible? How can I do that?
I was just reading about “Amazon Sidewalk” and I don’t like it. I don’t want my neighbors using my Internet connection for their devices. How can I disable it or opt out of Amazon Alexa Sidewalk, Dave?
I’ve been moving around the smartplugs in my home and am now frustrated with the old and inaccurate names I need to use with Alexa. “bedroom lamp” should now be “office light”, for example. Is there some easy way to rename plugs and other devices for Alexa even after they’ve been in use for a while?
I’m a huge fan of the Amazon Kindle and have one that I carry with me. Sometimes I’m just sitting in front of my PC at work and want to keep reading my book, but on screen. Is there a Kindle reader for Windows? If so, where do I download it?
I understand that there’s a way I can teach my Amazon Echo device to differentiate voices and answer differently depending on who’s talking. How can I set that up so Alexa recognizes me?
I heard on the radio that regular users can contribute answers to weird and obscure questions people ask their Alexa device. Sounds fun! How can I get involved?
I understand that my Amazon Echo devices can actually serve as a home security system, listening for broken glass, smoke alarms, and more. So cool! How do I enable this feature?
