    I hate your channel with a passion... Every time I come here to get your thoughts I buy a new gadget because of the way you can really indicate how a product responds to different needs. Like now.. I was only considering looking for a Echo Show 15, but now I've decide that I'm moving forward from considering to buying.. But now I'm getting the Echo Show 10 because of the audio quality and ability of movement.. Damnit! My wallet really hates you...
    10/10 again.. one of the best channels out there. Thanks sir!

    I think that the Show 8 is better for me personally than either one of these. But, with the right skills, the 15 would be a great information board for motels, doctor’s offices, waiting rooms if all kinds. It plays music, can communicate (“Mr. Smith, your car is ready for pick up), can play media content for a commercial or for those who are bored, can give personalized information (Alexa, please call the front desk), and would allow staff to check the room to see who is there. Unfortunately it appears to remain unachieved potential.

    I just wished you added a last point on hacking and security. I feel a little concern about a device watching me, following me, recognising me, communicating info about me in real time. I know we already have devices the monitor our where about, our internet searches, what music we play and listen continuously. We also have security cam with face recognition. But the level of security can be different device to device and it would be interesting to know what Amazon has done for those devices and how can we best protect ourselves. I just want to be aware of the risk I’m taking.

    Also, with Amazon Photos Family Vault, can my sisters and I all push our photos to the Show, making it like a digital frame with unlimited storage? Can I do that with a Show 10 or a Show 15?

    The only major issue with these devices is the browser timing out after 5 minutes and returning to the home screen as well as anything you pause like prime video if you don’t keep videos or music etc… playing you end up back on the Home Screen there is no command to resume. I have yet to see Amazon mention or address this major problem. Sometimes we need to pause longer than 5 minutes.

    @randygreen007 Před rokem

    I’m really surprised that you didn’t at least touch on Amazon’s forced advertising on the 8 and 10 Show devices. Yes I’m aware of the settings that we are able to change, but after talking to amazon CS for over 30 minutes they admitted that the will not allow us to change two of the settings. As for now the forced advertising is full screen and rotates through the screen with no way of turning them off. The “card” which is also full screen is an “Alexa for your day” recommendation. So essentially when you have your photo slideshow rolling along you will get full screen advertisements for each of these items. Usually about every 3rd or 4th photo. Until Amazon allows us to actually control these units that we purchased and “own” mine are all relegated to rooms that I don’t use. It appears that the 15 screen stays the same as I can see one of the widgets for the card I’ve mentioned. Does it appear full screen if you are using the device in slideshow mode?

    • @CraigsTechTalk
      @CraigsTechTalk  Před rokem +1

      The reason I did not touch on it during this video is because it wasn't an issue 390 days ago like it is now. I made this video over a year ago and at that time they were annoying with cards, but you could turn them off. Later in that same year I covered the changes that were coming that started this whole forced advertising. If I were to make the video now, I would definitely point it out. Thanks for watching.

    • @randygreen007
      @randygreen007 Před rokem

      @@CraigsTechTalk That makes sense and honestly I think Amazon is shooting itself in the foot with this. In fact about a month ago they announced they are drastically reducing staff associated with these devices and smart products altogether. Yet they snap up companies like iRobot or the Roomba specifically. I’ve been developing a smart home since they first started coming out and just wish everyone would get on the same page. Once the forced adds started I got two in a row then decided it’s time to find a better system. I sent the Google max back after 30 minutes. It’s so invasive and limited. Apple could really change the globe if it wanted to as it’s the most secure and private but it’s extremely limited.

    I really hate that Amazon does not allow you to customize the clock. The clock numbers are just huge and ruin whatever picture they are in front of. Sure, you can go into photo frame mode. But if you want to use this device, the 15, as intended, there's no way to turn that clock off. The clock numbers do randomly shrink into the upper left corner. I don't know why or under what circumstance, it seems to be random. But most of the time, it's these huge numbers. I don't need a clock. I know what time it is. I want to see my photos and the widgets.
    This is consistent across the board with these Echo show devices, these huge clock numbers dominating the screen. I mean, look how big that clock is. And Amazon refuses to let you get rid of them. Very annoying.

      I would recommend the 10 for most people. The fire TV update to the 15 has made it a little more compelling. Thank you for watching and sharing your preference.

      I tried google max for 20 minutes then boxed it back up and sent it back to the mother ship. It simply doesn’t compare. I wanted to switch away from amazon after they started the forced advertising screens.
