  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

  • Since when are Chinese OEMs not allowed on Amazon?

  • Yes, on Amazon it goes Manufacturer -> Aliexpress -> Amazon

    No. Why would anyone do that? Why wouldn't the OEM lost it on Amazon themselves? That makes no sense.

  • Once again, AliExpress is not a manufacturer. It's a digital storefront. Just like Amazon. You're not cutting out anyone.

  • It's not cutting out anyone, it's just a different middle asshole.

  • Why do people recommend cachyos as a beginner distro?

    Jump

  • That's weird, there's only a handful of distros I would recommend against for newbies and that's one of them.

  • Do you think AliExpress is manufacturing all that shit? It's a digital storefront (middle asshole), just like Amazon. Difference is Amazon will refund just about anything with no questions asked. And actually attempts to crack down on straight scams. Ali will just tell you "better luck next time". Not to mention that they blocked my VPN so I couldn't buy from them if I wanted to.

  • 'World's thinnest modular phone concept' tries to make add-ons cool again

    Jump

  • Yeah that thing was very cool but unfortunately they did not have a ton of modules and it did not catch on. They were very smart to have pogo pins rather than the absolutely moronic "wireless" trash we have today. I can see something like this creating a whole new industry, if successful.

  • LOL WTF are you talking about!? Virtually everything on AliExpress is a scam.

    E: God damn tankies at it again

  • Ehhh not really. They operated at massive losses for a decade or more to eliminate the competition while growing their customer base. This is simply stage 1 of enshittification. You can only do this if you're unbelievably filthy fucking rich. Then at some point they needed to cash out on all the good will and reputation they developed and that brings us to the shithole economy of today where people are simply too lazy to shop anywhere else.

  • You sure, Discord?

  • Lip service

    For 90%+ of users, nothing changes. Most users never access age-restricted content or change their default safety settings. For those who do, we have an internal system that works to accurately determine your age.

    "accurately" my ass.

    We know many of you believe the right answer is not to do this at all. We hear you.

    You obviously don't.

    the security incident last year involving our third-party customer service provider only adds to that skepticism. To be clear, we do not use that vendor for age assurance. In fact, we no longer work with them at all, and we've taken the lessons from that incident seriously.

    You obviously haven't.

    We heard you, and we want to get this right. So here's what's happening: We’re delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026.

    We’re listening.

    LOL you aren't.
