Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any I’ll feelings I bestowed upon you.

Not at all! I’ve enjoyed the conversation!

I couldn’t find anywhere within an hour’s commute of me that sold what I needed at reasonable prices.

Aka good news for almost everyone.

Home Depot prices were 5x the online retailers for the cat6 cabling. (Not an exaggeration. They wanted over $100 for 250ft vs the ~$35 I paid online.)

Also, fuck Bernie Marcus, trumpist shithead. He doesn’t need my money.

This is also a fair point, but it only takes a handful of one-day deliveries to “cover” the cost of prime with what most places are charging for fast shipping. And then that’s not including the many products I’ve never found a decent alternative seller for.

I mean fine; you’re right. I could have sat on my thumbs for 5 days with no WiFi in my living room while I waited for someone else to send what I needed, but why should I have to? Is it completely impossible for a company to provide that convenience without also being a bag of dicks? (Or is that what you meant by regulation?)

For me it’s the fast shipping I can’t live without.

I recently moved into a new apartment and needed to run a network cord from our router to the other side of the apartment to put an access point so we’d have good WiFi coverage. I went online to several other retailers for the few things I needed (cat6, crimp tool, and a few other things), but all of them wanted me to pay ~$25 or more for their slowest shipping option of 5-7 business days.

Meanwhile, Amazon had everything at my door the next day with free shipping. I tried to avoid Bezos, but I couldn’t. :(

I’m not sure it’s ever good news when Epic wins.

I’m in this exact same boat. I also remember them saying they’d never raise the price on us. I imagine their defense will be something about how GPM doesn’t exist anymore and YouTube premium wasn’t part of that offer or something. It’s still bullshit but I can’t imagine we’ll win.

Ok so not illegal— just too expensive for the poors. Sounds just right for the GOP.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Didn’t Texas make it illegal to go out of state to get around their bans?

I hope they didn’t have to pay him for this. Like, I’m interested in watching a good doc about the shitshow that this man’s entire life must be, but not if he profits from it.

RIP Rover :(

Now the entire gauge cluster is a screen, it’s sad.

This is a really interesting take to me because I’m excited for all the physical displays to be replaced by screens. Because once they’re screens, the new CarPlay can take them over and give an actually good user experience compared the incredible dog shit quality in-car experience that the manufacturers provide.

It sounds like they want to be acquired, and if their tech is as good as this article makes it seem, maybe Apple should. :)

I would like to know more about the “irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry.” As someone who grew up Catholic, this makes me want to investigate joining the masons.

Unless the senate itself is dramatically changed, Dems will never have the 2/3 majority needed to remove anyone, and I’m not holding my breath for the GOP to put country before party anytime soon.

Don’t let them tell you it’s the lack of density that is the problem. I live in a major US city with high density, and there is only one provider that offers actual broadband at my address (~$100/mo for 500Mb/s service). The “competition” wants me to pay $50/mo for 20 Megabit DSL.

You lost me here. Civilians do not deserve this bullshit.

The Files app says hello.
