Dammit, lol. Autocorrect got me and I didn’t notice.

Occam’s Razor is that the simplest answer is probably right.

You’re thinking of Hanson’s razor which states:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I will never give this useless fuck any excuse for the intentional murder he committed.

he can’t properly identify risks.

Give me a fucking break.

Is there an OLED tv on the market now that doesn’t just exist to sell ads?

110% right. What a stupid article.

How do you propose they parent other people’s kids?

But if you make another hole upstream, how do you allow that to heal? It’d be extra holes all the way down up.

This is a really interesting train of thought!

I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

Well the VLC one was free, and I’m guessing theirs won’t be.

Other folks in this thread are speculating that they want to put their own video player in the store.

I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

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.

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.
