5 days agoI disconnected my Echo devices when Amazon Sidewalk was rolling out. I’m not even sure what Alexa Plus even is. I was back at my parent’s house for the holidays and they still have Echo devices. Mine never just randomly started announcing stuff but oh man they do now. Like I’m just sitting there reading a book in a dead silent room and it scares the crap out of me just prattling on.
I’m still chugging along doing maintenance but yeah it’s getting ridiculous. Just as a metric: service manual length.
My motorcycles: ~800 pages
My 2010: ~1800 pages
My 2016: ~13500 pages
I fear to see a more modern vehicle. I don’t own anything newer.
A lot of the page increase is all the diagnostic code debugging. Modern vehicles have way too many computers.
