Trapper Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 It's a brave new world for the next generation racing towards being sexually active. You can now press a button and condoms arrived the next day! I wonder where people stick the button? On the bed? Next to the bed? On the gentlemans sausage area? Wow! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01I29706W/ref=s9_acsd_ri_bw_c_x_5_w?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=0CEERE400EFYDNXYGWP4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=2ace32e1-f93f-4eae-bff5-6681f8dea31c&pf_rd_i=10833773031
DJ-1701 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 It's a brave new world for the next generation racing towards being sexually active. You can now press a button and condoms arrived the next day! Isn't that a backwards step? Correct me if I am wrong, but can't one get these immediately from a place called a shop?
sted Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 ive yet to see an iot device where i havnt thought well yes cool but why? 1
LeMarchand Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 In my experience, when you need condoms you need them immediately - not next day.
Garacesh Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I mean some of the Amazon Dash buttons make sense.. But only for big bulk-buys. Cat litter, teabags, laundry detergent, maybe you can get away with it for loo rolls. Condoms? Bit silly, really.
unixman_again Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 In my experience, when you need condoms you need them immediately - not next day. You get them before - "Something for the weekend, Sir?"
rad Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 So if your kid gets hold of it and constantly presses it... do you get multiple orders? Oh damn I leant on it...what does this do... dont press the button, but I pressed it.
Jawloms Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 They thought of that; Order protection. Ensures Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered. Peace of mind. You will receive an order notification for every order placed, allowing you to cancel the order before it delivers.

LeMarchand Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 You get them before - "Something for the weekend, Sir?" Maybe back in the 50s! Besides, I thought young gentlemen these days spend as much time in hair salons as young ladies? The old boy who cuts my hair seems to be the last of a literally dying breed. When he goes, it will just be the Turkish barbers that seem to be currently springing up.
Andrew_C Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 So if your kid gets hold of it They don't get a brother or sister. Expect many presses! 1
mikeprice Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 a smart bin - logs what you throw out and helps you make a shopping list wonderful - so how does it know I only have 2 serving left in the box of cornflakes?? I think I'll stick with the rubbish one I have (pun - what pun) CES 2017: GeniCan makes the case for a smart kitchen bin - BBC News
Trapper Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 You get them before - "Something for the weekend, Sir?" Suits you sir!
Mullaney18 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Some of the Q&A questions are great! Where would one stick this Dash Button? Answer: Inside an empty iPhone 4S case, never to be seen by anyone because you bought it when you were drunk. By J Carratt on 06 November 2016 On the Dashboard of the car or in the girlfriends handbag where the Mrs won't find it. By Janet Wright on 08 November 2016 On a more serious note, anyone use one of these? A do you think you could buy them blank. I'm starting a little internal messaging system for when a child in crisis and the teacher needs assistance with a message that pops up on a little screen in the corner of the classroom for each class on the floor/phase. They would alert by pressing a button like this or I was looking at a RPi? We currently have a blue cloud card which a pupil would take to another classroom to alert the teacher.

I bought a few of these recently when they were on offer for 99p, main reason being is you get £4.99 off your first order with them so I was effectively saving £4 per button order. I don't plan on using them for their intended purpose again. Although I haven't spent too much time on this, have a look online as a number of people have posted 'hacks' allowing them to use these buttons for other tasks. I am hoping to do something geeky with them, but not sure yet. Edited January 11, 2017 by Ant 1
LincolnE Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 I've got a single one (bought as the above, 99p offer and save £4.99 on first purchase). I'm never going to use it again for its intended purpose.
