I checked the menus yesterday having not seen any notification of any updates being received and no blue dot 🔵 on the side bar and found that Alexa has arrived………… so if you think it hasn’t arrived because you’ve had no notification tap the cog icon on the Pivi screen and take a look through the menus and you might find it is there after all.

too true. It’s taken Siri in our HomePods several months to get the hang of our accents.

Hopefully I can ignore it, had the dreaded blue dot 🔵 pop up on the PIVI the other day and the
last thing I want is another tech company spy app in the car, bad enough with car play and Siri.

If your driving along and someone silly pulls out in front of you and you yell ‘ oh s(fill in blank).

When you get home will you find that Alexa has put toilet rolls on your shopping list and Google is giving you the best places to go for manure…….?
