If it’s a website use a website preview online service.

The internet is not always available for at least some people.

I generally have already decided what to purchase before I load Amazon’s website. I also rarely purchase cheap white label products, and so Amazon’s reviews are mostly irrelevant to me. I’ve rarely needed to return items too and recently they were all my fault anyway, eg, not quite the dimensions I thought I needed.

I’ve never heard of anyone use a shop’s reviews to decide what product to purchase, so you’re literally the first to me.

If I want a product that I have no idea about then I’ll go to forums, YouTube channels, etc about that type of thing and see what they say about it all. They’ll be people who’ve done product reviews and comparisons. And so they’re the people with the knowledge and their the people that care.

So in your example of wanting a guitar pedal I’d be visiting music and electric guitar places on the internet to gather knowledge on the product range.

Once I hit the online store, I’ve already decided what I want to purchase. And so the store reviews are more about the seller themselves and whether the product is genuine/fake, or a good/bad version of the white label item.

Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.

Furthermore, I don’t see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.

Usenet requires an indexer and a provider. An indexer indexes content. A provider is a server that hosts the content. Content is split into 1MB chunks.

The manual way. You look for content you want on the website of the indexer and download the nzb file. You download the nzb file, which a list of the 1MB chunks and put it in your usenet download software. The downloader then downloads it.

The automated way. There is a software suite called *arr. It’s not exclusive to Usenet; you can also use it with torrents. You search for the content you’re interested in and the software does the rest.

Trash-guides and servarr are popular guides.

The only issue with projects like LineageOS is that the camera usually sucks because the full fat camera driver isn’t released to the public, it’s only the basic driver. The camera can still take photos but all of the features you’ve become accustomed to are not there. This was my experience and what the LineageOS team said during the Samsung S5-S8 days.

It’s 100% what professionals do to repair traces. Please don’t spread misinformation.

Just link out the broken trace with a thin wire. This is what the professionals do. The original traces are carbon to reduce manufacturing costs.

For some people TeamSpeak didn’t go anywhere. I’ve been using TeamSpeak for the past 5 years as I started communicating with people who never gave it up.

Killed it, as in they were awesome and won, or as in unalived. The quote by itself could mean either.

I pulled some data off some old Samsung 1TB SSDs that werent powered for 3-4 years without an issue either. I guess they were SLC based on what others are saying.

I guess it’s a your mileage may vary situation depending on the exact drive you purchase and probably other factors too.

It could be reasonably innocent. Eg. A student doing a study Lemmy and wants to see where the user base is roughly located. Since Lemmy has many privacy focused people on the platform, I doubt they would get many responses on a survey.

Why do you believe online is unplayable?

It feels like it has a similar stance to what BeMe had but is somewhat successful. Less about you attempting to look perfect and more about every day life. The BeMe idea was to set your camera to record, hold it to your chest to record what ever you were looking at, and before you knew it the video was uploaded to the servers.

I agree because it makes the code easier to follow in 6 months time.

I write the parentheses before I start writing inside the block. When something goes wrong, the scope of what I’ve done wrong is narrowed to within that specific block.

Is this an old screenshot? The email looks like a screenshot of a screenshot, of a screenshot, etc.

I think i commented on the wrong comment. Jaja.

But I agree with your comment here and the one I commented on originally.

In my eyes, Reddit vs Lemmy. 1 data controller and many data scrapers vs many data controllers and some data scrapers. Data will always be harvested, and data will always be sold/shared with third parties.

Interesting that some/many believe that Leclerc easily out performs Sainz but the smooth operator is right there with him on points.
