More on Alexa+ - When I'm build up a new computer (which I often do several times a day) I begin in the BIOS by setting the time to GMT.

So I usually say "Alexa what's the GMT?"

Old Alexa would promptly give me an answer.

New Alexa+ takes about five seconds of deep (and probably power consuming) thinking and then tells me the meaning of GMT.

Then I yell that I want the time in GMT and, after that five second pause, tells me the GMT time (but not the date, which is often, for me, tomorrow.)

On another front, when I asked Alexa+ for the opening hours of our local bagel store it responded with the location of bagel places in Atlantic city - 3000 miles from me - and then on retry ones in Las Vegas - 700 miles from me.

@karlauerbach goog maps last night: “Laundromat?” “Car wash.”
