That's great! And if I order a defective product then I'm happy to do that. But I can't always tell the difference between real and fake items. It took me a long time to realize I was using likely fake shaving soap. This ju

This is one of the reasons I don't buy a lot of stuff from amazon anymore. I don't have a printer to make return labels and easy returns are cold comfort. At the end of the day I just prefer to go in person to a store or order f

yes, fair enough. I suppose they had to draw the line somewhere. I'm kind of surprised they decided to take this route. I'm guessing they are trying to get ahead of future regulation by governments.

how so?

I feel ya, but that's not why I use facebook. I unfollow friends who mostly post political stuff, even though I generally agree with them. I'm there for pictures, the shared calendar and the messaging. I'll check out memeor

I mean, they're setting up shop in the center of a city. They are building on top of everything they claim to not need.

Sharing AMP links is the worst. I probably wouldn't mind if they had a way to provide short links that cardified okay in slack, but lately I've been just sharing the link to the original. if anyone else prefers to share the origi

24 hour news channels are almost useless. I still like the daily news magazine that's put together by networks, like NBC Nightly news. Weeklies like 60 minutes are usually fine too.

This is exactly what I do with old books. I keep the ones I really like and give the rest to any place that accepts book donations. Might as well, I am clumsy and have busted two kindles, so I'm all aboard the physical book train now

Doesn't Apple news plus do that or something? I just picked 2-3 publications I really like and I subscribe to those. I'm not paying for everything, but I am paying for some.

yeah, it would make way more sense to codify the policy and just tell devs that they are using banned functionality or something.

I don't hate it as much as I hate that it isn't an option. If it were a $500 add on I would never ever choose it as an option for my laptop, and now it's kind of mandatory if you want a fast macOS laptop. I will accept a la

I mean I see what you're saying. This does seem like the type of thing a state actor like Russia might want to do. But we're a few years out from 2016 at this point. I am not surprised that some Americans have decided to stir t

I've entertained the idea, but then again, if I stick around I might get a sweet deal on a condo.

I think if you own a certain percentage of total equity you still need to file disclosures.

I'd love to see this at airports or something. Kind of hard to imagine in a real supermarket but maybe someday.

Yeah, amazonbasics stuff has been great for me too. I'm not boycotting Amazon, I just don't think Prime is worth it anymore for me. Amazon is truly better in some cases, but I just don't mind using saver shipping for the mo

They'll actually pro-rate refund for your remaining time with prime if you cancel. At least they did for me.

Cancelled my prime this year, haven't looked back. A lot of retailers offer free shipping if you order a certain dollar amount and while they have a smaller selection, I can be pretty sure I'm not receiving anything fake. They a

Kinda feels like anything goes at this point. You just gotta win :-|

Yeah I cancelled my prime. Nowadays a lot of retailers will ship for free, sometimes 1 or 2 day shipping without an annual membership fee. You just have to spend a certain amount, but more and more items on amazon are 'add on' i

risk of counterfeit goods and really the cost of Prime have pushed me away from Amazon. I can get free overnight shipping from walmart if I just do batch orders of $35 or more. I don't care about their music, video or other misc serv

Yeah, I liked it and used it when possible. Especially on the app screen where I could dive right into a specific in-app action. It's what nudged me into getting a 6s instead of another Android phone.
