Amazon Echo Pop Featuredf 2

Echo devices are certainly handy to have around. But what if you truly just wanted a smart speaker and didn’t care about motion detection, a smart home hub, or a screen? The answer is the new Amazon Echo Pop Smart Speaker. It skips all the fancy features but still gives you voice control, alarms, and smart home benefits. You can pick one up now for under $20.

This smart speaker is great for smaller spaces, such as bedrooms, offices, and kitchens. It’s small enough that it won’t take over the room and will blend in nicely. You’ll like the sustainability, too, as the fabric is made from 100% post-consumer recycled yarn, while the aluminum is made of 80% recycled aluminum. The packaging adds even more, as it’s 100% recyclable.

As with any Echo device, the Amazon Echo Pop Smart Speaker features the Alexa voice assistant, which allows you to use your voice to play music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more from Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, SiriusXM, and the like. But it will protect your privacy and not start listening until it hears the “Alexa” wake word, which turns the light bar blue.

While it’s not a smart home hub, the Echo Pop can control your compatible smart home devices, including smart lights, the thermostat, and smart plugs. It can also set timers, read the news, place Amazon orders, make calls, announce the weather, and answer your questions.

Take 50% off the price of this Echo Pop in your choice of colors and pay just $19.99. Add on a smart light bulb, and still pay just $19.99, essentially getting the light bult for free.

Mycorrhizal fungi colonised plant roots roughly 450 million years ago and biologists now suspect plants could never have moved out of the oceans onto bare rock without them, meaning every forest on Earth — including the redwoods, the Amazon, and the boreal belt — is still running on a partnership older than trees themselves

A species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii can revert its adult cells back to a juvenile polyp stage when injured or starving, effectively restarting its life cycle, and biologists have so far failed to identify any natural limit to how many times it can do this.
French scientist Michel Siffre spent two months alone in a cave with no clock, no calendar, and no sunlight — and when his team finally told him the experiment was over, he thought he still had nearly a month left underground
When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.
