We're not sure who's more shocked here; The retail worker who learned the power symbol isn't a camera, or the tech support dude who had to tell them?

You know you hate just about most of the things that you see on Facebook. The baby pictures, the couples in gooey love, the political nonsense, the insanely inaccurate information, the list goes on forever and grows every day.
Well, rejoice, you cynical a**holes.
Mark Zuckerberg confirmed during a Facebook headquarters Q&A Sept. 15.
According to Re/code:
"I think people have asked about the dislike button for many years. Today is a special day because today is the day I can say we're working on it and shipping it," Zuckerberg said.
He told the audience that the company realized people want to express emotions other than positivity, especially around posts about sensitive subjects like the Syrian refugee crisis.
He didn't give further information as to what the "Dislike" button might look like. We could look to the new "reactions" product from workplace chatting app Slack as a possibility. Slack's reactions allow people to comment with a full range of emojis on others' posts, which leads to everything from check marks to laughter and food images to animated hands clapping.
We won't put all of our eggs in this thumbs down basket just yet. This is in direct opposition to what Zuckerberg said just nine months ago when he said there were no plans to introduce such a thing.
But if you'd like to take today's news as the truth, then strap on your dancin' hooves and get hatin'.
Amazon announced a new little button March 31 that orders a specific product from the retail giant when pressed. It's called the Amazon Dash.
You stick it around the house and hopefully push it within two days of actually needing something.
It looks like this:

From the submitter:
"The rubber button fell off my bike's rear light, and the actual switch was far in the case so I needed something thin to reach it. Turns out a pin fixed with scotch-tape is almost perfect. Paper is for improved length adjustment and better stability of position."
