The developer East Thames Group confirmed it had removed the wording from its website, saying: 'We did this because the copy was categorically incorrect - East Thames does not have a policy of excluding overseas residents from purchasing homes through private sale. Its presence on the website was a mistake and was the result of our creative agency misinterpreting our commitment to the Mayoral Concordat.' 

According to a recent Amazon blog post explaining it, Sidewalk will allow users to "contribute a small portion of their internet bandwidth, which is pooled together to create a shared network that benefits all Sidewalk-enabled devices in a community." What's less clear is how Amazon Sidewalk, which Amazon says will launch later this year, will affect Echo users.



That's incredibly frustrating considering how good Google Assistant is, and how Samsung's Google Wear OS partnership seemed to be lining up specifically to allow things like Assistant. Google Assistant: MIA. It's hard to promise what isn't there.

This isn't revolutionary -- in fact, Amazon included Zigbee receivers in their $150 Echo Plus and their $230 second-gen Echo Show -- but it is bringing better home connectivity to a broader audience, and that's a clear win for Amazon customers. I tried installing a couple of Zigbee devices and found the process to be totally painless.

Home theater in the round The other home feature I was excited to try with the new Echo was setting up a home theater group. Connecting a voice assistant to your entertainment system feels like a real improvement, if you haven't done it before. And the new Echo, using Alexa, works pretty well here.

If you have fast Wi-Fi, then it seems this setup would work well. The speakers worked fairly well, though I had one drop out of the group while I was testing it. In a house with multiple people streaming or using bandwidth in other ways, although relying on your Echoes for stereo sound might lead to more frustration than it's worth. I used a 4K Fire TV Stick to create the group, and it felt great to be able to simply say, "Watch The Boys," to Alexa, only to have your TV turn on and begin streaming the Prime show.

Battery life: Two days (or less)
The Galaxy Watch 4 feels very fast, and loads apps faster than any Android watch I can remember. The watch's new chipset seems to be a very good sign of where other Google watches could go as far as feeling more responsive. It's not always as lightning-quick as the latest Apple Watch, but it still feels great.

Google Fit apps can be loaded onto the Watch 4 for tracking alongside Samsung Health, but Samsung still expects your data to flow through Samsung Health as well. Fitbit doesn't have any Wear OS apps yet, but is expected to have some later this year...even so, there won't be a chance of having Fitbit's full tracking capabilities running on this watch anytime soon. But Google has its own pair of fitness-tracking apps: Google Fit, and the recently acquired Fitbit.

The United Nations backed a ceasefire and peace process after an eastern offensive against Tripoli collapsed in 2020, with most sides in Libya publicly supporting Dbeibah's interim unity government and scheduling elections for December 2021.

Google Assistant should be coming sometime, I think, but it's unclear. — Scott Stein (@jetscott) August 13, 2021 Instead, you're stuck with Bixby as the only assistant for now. Hi, Bixby
As I said earlier: Google's excellent voice-based Assistant isn't on the Galaxy Watch 4.

In addition, the Echo has adaptive sound, so it can adjust to the acoustics of the room in which you use it. When it comes to sound, the Echo represents a significant improvement over the third-gen speaker from 2019, likely in part to the fact that the third-gen Echo essentially copped its design almost wholesale from an older device. I personally didn't notice dramatic differences in output from room to room, but the speaker sounded good in the various rooms and on the various surfaces I used for testing.
