Alexa repeating calendar notifications twice (feddit.uk)
 

Not sure where best to post this on Lemmy but here goes...

I've got a single Google calendar enabled on my Alexa. I've set 'announcement count' to 1.

Every single time I have a calendar reminder on my Echo, it says it twice in a row, which is very annoying.

I've seen posts from 5 years ago complaining of the same issue, has anyone found a fix? Seems bonkers it's not been fixed.

It's just such a common misconception that there was no ads in the 'old Internet', that's all I was pointing out. There seems to be a nostalgic false memory that Internet back then didn't have ads which is hilarious if you were there to see what it was like

What are you talking about, ads were far worse back in the 90s /2000. Were you even using the Internet back then? Couldn't block them and things like infinite pop ups were rampant, if you didn't have a firewall setup and anti virus, your entire Windows 98 setup could be wrecked in minutes just being online
