PSA: Canadians: Amazon Sidewalk launches today
Just a reminder for the Canadians here: Amazon Sidewalk officially launches in Canada today, where all Alexas become part of Amazon's wide area network.
If you want to disable it (and I suggest you do), in the Alexa mobile app go to Settings > Account Settings > Amazon Sidewalk and make sure the toggle is to the left and you see "Disabled".
You'll save a tiny bit of bandwidth, but more importantly, you'll prevent Amazon from using your network for Ring support and who knows what else.
