I bought their bluetooth speaker that turns itself off when you haven't sent music through it for five minutes, and that you have to get up to turn back on.

edit: The physical quality seemed fine, but it's obvious that they never tested it or even thought about it much.

Nothing to do with Amazon but this has become endemic in tech in recent years and it grinds my gears. The amount of websites and services and remote control sessions that sign out or lock while I’m using them, because I’m not using them fast enough, it’s infuriating.

Yes I leave stuff open for a couple of hours while troubleshooting, not every problem is solved in five minutes and one device! No bank, you aren’t increasing security, I’m not in a library or a cafe. Especially infuriating if it happens while I'm waiting for the thing to check/update something and it signs me out because I'm not doing anything!

This happens all the time and should be seen an accessibility issue. Some people don't have the dexterity to keep the page from timing out while they, say, fetch their card out of their wallet, or type in their address and phone number.

Hm, my more brandy JBL one does the same, maybe it is 10 minutes, but I find it reasonable. I have a long set or playlists or choose something new when it gets silent, and otherwise I enjoy the luxury that I can just turn off the sender and know the battery won't be wasted for long?

I think that may be due to European energy savings regulation.
