Amazon has officially launched Alexa+ in Australia, bringing its generative AI-powered virtual assistant to local Echo devices. Moving beyond basic voice triggers, setting kitchen timers, and answering surface-level queries, Alexa+ represents a complete overhaul aimed at making smart home interaction far more natural, intuitive, and action-oriented. Powered by Amazon Bedrock and advanced large language models (LLMs), Alexa+ is designed to behave less like a command-line interface and more like a conversational assistant.  * Natural Conversation & Context Tracking: You no longer need to speak in rigid, robotic phrases.

Lygisk - A magisk alternative for Lineage Os

"Lygisk is a Magisk fork correcting one of the few mistakes legendary @topjohnwu did not fix (yet).

Lygisk fixes the needed /data access in addon.d, which fails to reinstall Magisk during OTA if the device does not support FBE decryption in recovery" 





The process involves sideload with adb. Download the canary Lygisk from the link above and rename it from app-debug.apk to app-debug.zip

Reboot the phone to lineage os recovery with the power button

Tip: enable advanced reboot in settings > system > buttons > power menu 

Start a command prompt in the platform tools folder

Assuming the Lygisk zip is on the desktop of your PC copy as path



In Lineage os recovery tap on apply update > apply update from adb 

In the terminal type 

adb sideload "app-debug.zip" 

Once it's done tap 'reboot system' 


You may need to install the Lygisk canary apk file after the device boots up. Tap on the Lygisk app and let the phone automatically reboot
