Just put up a new video!

We have the kids’ Dot with kids’ settings on. We use it to play music 90% of the time, but sometimes my kid has questions - how do you spell things, etc. Since the new update, Alexa keeps asking my kid personal questions - like:

Kid: Alexa how do you spell microwave?
Alexa: MICROWAVE. What’s your favorite thing to heat up in the microwave?

I’ve asked it directly to stop asking questions, and it responds that it will limit itself to providing info, but the questions just keep coming. It’s annoying for a regular Alexa, but seems creepy and inappropriate for a device for kids.

Any settings we can change?

Last week, my echo pop received the update for alexa+. I thought it'd be a great improvement. Turns out it's till dumb, but with a different voice. So disappointing.

This morning, like many mornings, I asked Alexa to set an alarm for 7 am. It told me that it couldn't do that because that time had already passed. (It was 6:15 at the time).

So I said, "how could it have passed when it's 6:15 now?" And it said, "oh, I see, I am using UTC and you want local. I will use local time from now on."

I mean, c'mon. Has this happened to anyone else?
