Ahahaha imagine paying a subscription fee to display photos on a screen. I bought my gran a "digital picture frame" 15 years ago for 30 bucks which she still uses. $24 a year for 15 years, that would be $360 LMAO > Amazon never explained why owners of the standard Echo Show 8 couldn't use PhotosPlus or the photo-forward mode. The devices looked identical. It's possible that the Photos Edition used extra hardware... Why is Ars even humoring such an absurd premise. Extra hardware to... display user images instead of ads? Give me a break.
