PSA: Alexa Plus may be why your smart clock has become useless

TL;DR

  • A post on the Amazon Echo subreddit indicates that an Alexa Plus subscription can make unintended changes to Echo devices.
  • User Setati said that their Echo Show 5 had stopped persistently showing the time on its home screen, instead surfacing news and other content.
  • Setati says that canceling Alexa Plus removed the unwanted additional content from their Show 5’s screen.

Alexa Plus is Amazon’s new paid digital assistant. Available for $20 per month (or included for free, if you’re a Prime subscriber), Alexa Plus injects extra AI functionality into your Amazon devices, like the ability to engage in more natural conversation-style interactions with Alexa through an Echo device. Turns out, it can also make some unhelpful changes to your Echo Show’s home screen.

In a post on the Amazon Echo subreddit, user Setati complains that their Echo Show 5 has recently become less fit for one of their primary use cases: telling the time. Setati writes that “about the same time as Alexa+,” their Show 5 started showing content that it didn’t before, replacing the full-screen clock with “news briefs and things it thinks I want to see.”

FCC looking to gut broadband labeling requirements, because poor ISPs need a break

2025-10-11T03:04:22+00:00
TL;DR

  • The FCC is looking to eliminate some of its broadband labeling requirements for ISPs.
  • Broadband “nutrition” labels were introduced to make it easier for consumers to compare prices and services, fees inclusive.
  • The FCC teases further interest in backpedaling on labeling requirements it believes “provide minimal benefit to consumers.”

When you’re signing up for internet access, how confident are you about what your bill’s actually going to look like? ISPs and cellular carriers both have a reputation for positively opaque billing practices, piling on fees and passing taxes along to end users. As a consequence, responsible lawmakers pushed for legislation aimed at simplifying bills, and forcing ISPs to be upfront and clear about all their fees. But right now, current FCC leadership is doing its darndest to undo some of those changes and make things easier for the ISPs.
