Not so far, still works fine. I bought the first one as an experiment, they were on offer Amazon UK for 25 quid. Last one was Bht1,850 through Lazada. I don't get the maximum out of them I'm sure, but they great for: Turning plugs / lights on A/C on/off and setting the temperature Giving the time, alarms, timers (especially the one in the kitchen) and reminders Spotify, BBC World Service, BBC radio 3 & 4 or Classic FM Shopping and to-do lists Local weather forecast Intercom and Skype-Out

I've got 4 of them, 2 x Echo 3 and 2 x Echo 4, they work fine. I've a few smart plugs that work with Alexa to to turn lights on, and a couple of Sensibo controllers for a/c. I have Alexa connected to my Spotify account and it pulls up BBC Sounds for radio together with whatever is on TuneIn. I've an old Skype out account that I use for phone calls when I can't be bothered grabbing my phone. They also work as a handy intercom, useful when you live in a 4 storey shophouse. First one I picked up in the UK, second one via Amazon Japan, the most recent two I bought through Lazada. I don't have a Prime account and I don't buy anything via the Echo. The Skype account only has limited contact details and I've not given the phone app access to my contacts. You can get the voice history to delete. All of these things are a trade-off with your privacy, personally I consider it worth it. .

How did you meet your wife? First words?

"I'll have the full English, tea and orange juice please" That'll be 25 years next April, but married 16 years next February, I didn't rush. -

First COVID Delta+ case found in Thailand, no cause of alarm – DCD
Stocky replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How anyone with any sanity can claim Bangkok is 100% vaccinated is beyond me. Does anyone really know what the population of Bangkok is before we even start on the vaccination claim? -

Health Minister says Covid infections in Deep South stabilizing
Stocky replied to snoop1130's topic in Southern Thailand News
I think it's just that there are fewer people left for the virus to infect. The UK is referring to this as Endemic Equilibrium (Herd Immunity having become tainted). Based on my recent experience in Hat Yai there are many more cases than reported. The daily numbers stated are only for PCR tests, they don't include positive antigen tests. Many people don't realise they have it, whilst others may suspect they do but can't afford to stop work, and don't want to go to a quarantine facility anyway. . -
