Amazon has pulled the plug on the Dash Button, but suggests that users can use their voice assistant in much the same way

Amazon has confirmed that it's pulling the plug on its ludicrous Dash buttons. The device was a small, battery-powered control that allowed you to order a specific product when you needed it. The most often cited example of this was the ability to order more toilet paper from your bathroom as soon as you noticed you were running low.

Around Prime day that became a draw, because the company would often discount Dash buttons but the discount would remain the same. Meaning you might, for example, get the button for $1 but still get a $5 discount on your product. For one thing people probably don't buy the same product every time. You might have a preferred a specific brand but your purchasing decision might also have been based on what was the cheapest product on the site at the time you were buying. And many people will also have disliked the uncertainty of the ordering process. Did it go through, how much will I pay, etc.

Smashing the dash button is too masculine anyway, addressing Alexa in a soft, sweet tone is much more appropriate 😎😅

New York state budget director says lawmakers who opposed Amazon HQ2 were of 'fundamental ignorance'“They are like the dog that caught the car. They are now desperately and incredibly trying to explain their actions,' New York state budget director Robert Mujica wrote. Economists don't understand the difference btw slave wages and a living wage. If Bezos was serious he would of offered a decent paying living wage to the community instead of attempting to 'gentrifiy' it. Pretty sure the city didn't want to set a prescident by cutting taxes and losing out on a huge chunk of income that the city deserves. In the long run that's a crucial prescident to maintain, in the short term your going to have to come to terms with a couple of losses. he also 'says' scamazon protesters were paid so he's a liar 🤥😞
