I'm still waiting for an Alexa app to simplify my orders with Element 14. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-da997920-3fd6-4440-97bd-03ee0a5cb2d1/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

"Alexa, add 5 PocketBeagles, and a BeagleBone Black with the DLP Pico Display Projector, and that Keysight Multimeter from my wishlist to my Element 14 Shopping Cart and place order."

"Placing order. Would you like a cup of coffee while your order is being downloaded?" - Alexa

This a nice step forward. But, if they are pulling their electricity from the grid, they just moved the pollution down the wire. Build a giant solar farm to charge the trucks and then 'green' might mean a little bit more.
