  • Alexa users who are Amazon Prime members are reportedly being automatically upgraded to Alexa Plus.
  • Users who have been upgraded can revert to the old Alexa by saying, “Alexa, exit Alexa Plus.”
  • One user claims that they were “flooded with ads” after downgrading back to Alexa.

No. I haven't had a TV since around 2000. I use monitors, and always have an extra laying around if needed.

    Even monitors are being equipped with spyware “smart” features. It seems a matter of time before all new monitors are spyware and adware Trojans like TVs. 😞

    Get commercial hardware. It's more expensive new, but dirt cheap used, and they don't include any of the spy equipment.
