Oh, Samsung Galaxy Note 7, we hardly knew ye.
After a botched recall, Samsung said Tuesday that it will stop making the Note 7 phones, following repeated reports that the devices catch fire. We discuss how bad this may be for Samsung going forward.
We also go into a report that Amazon is considering opening convenience stores, and we check out the newest dumb meme of the year: selfie high-fives.
The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by the CNET News team in New York and producer Bryan VanGelder.
