For whatever reason my Windows desktop profile is not reflected to my Citrix apps. So I get to figure out the settings that I’ve changed over the years all over again.
In Skype for Business I want a fixed width font and no emoji.
- Click the Settings menu in the main Skype window (the cog icon).
- Select IM on the left.
- Uncheck the box for Show emoticons in messages.
- Click the Change Font button and choose Consolas.

This morning Alexa was an hour behind — she hadn’t moved to DST. A quick search on Google showed that last year DST switching had worked.
The top hit, however, was a fresh Reddit thread with Alexa users reporting the same issue. After keeping an eye on it, I saw a user come up with the solution that worked for me (and it is the only solution on the thread so far).
Launch the Alex app and go to Settings, select a device, and change the timezone
- from America/Eastern Standard Time
- to US/Eastern Standard Time
The fix takes immediately: just ask “Alexa, what time is it?” — no power cycling needed.
