Light bulbs and batteries, I had to quit. Even if you’re buying name-brand, they’re so often counterfeit, it’s just not worth it.

I've had good luck with the eneloops, not sure how to tell if they're counterfeit but they've lasted multiple use over 3 years (I have a toddler so we use batteries like there's no tomorrow)

Good point, I also have Eneloops from Amazon, and they’re fine. Maybe there isn’t enough demand for NiMH rechargeables to be counterfeited? I also bought mine as part of a charger-included pack, which may reduce the incidence further.

Where else you go for online shopping?

For my mentioned items of lightbulbs and batteries, I generally buy them at a physical store (Lowe’s / Home Depot for light bulbs, batteries pretty much anywhere).

If you're in the UK, Argos is quicker and better now, which I find remarkable but extremely pleasing.

I love how Amazon has gone from customer obsession to the lowest of the lowest common denominator. Easiest boycott of my life to stop buying tripe from them. They’ve successfully pivoted from customer obsession to obsessed customers.

I tried to quit shopping from Amazon, and I did find alternatives. But, where do you buy your electronics from? a TV, a GPU, a monitor? What's their return policy? Amazon is 12 month 0% APR installments on anything >$50, 5% cash back on everything else, no questions asked drop-off at Whole Foods/UPS returns/pickups. Your money is back in your pocket that day. I tried Best Buy, NewEgg, and eBay. NewEgg, you'd think, w…

from Costco

Costco? Essentially lifetime return policy except 3 months on electronics.

I wonder how long before "Electronics" is no longer a useful categorization because everything other than food is electronic.

"My chicken sandwich last night came with bluetooth 5 compatibility. I connected it to my phone to track the journey through my digestive tract."

That's as appealing an idea as it is horrifying, honestly.

In London I’ll just go into town and do high street shopping the old fashioned way. For anything too big or unwieldy then John Lewis is a safe bet and their return policy is great. In some cases I’ll just go direct to the brand or some other company I know has a good rep (like Scan for computer parts). For books I’ll browse a local book shop or Waterstones and if I leave empty handed then bookshop.org is my online backup.

The last few times I tried to buy anything expensive from Amazon, the item I received was faulty and I ended up just sending it back and buying a replacement direct from the retailer. I also don’t care at all about next day delivery since if I need something so urgently I can just go out and find it myself.

sure you do. you actually want your electronics to interoperate. everyone wants to not have to think about things. really, you disagree with society and it's really impossible to look at modern society and think this happens just by random good nature and not well to poorly coordinated hierarchy. you already benefit from existing regulations but they're so painless that you've intrinsicalyy assumed they're naturally…

Gasoline? clean water? Huh? We're talking about Amazon here. I find it hard to believe you're a real person. What a bizarre comment.

yes, we're talking about a distributor that unaccountably passes on merchandise.

just wait for the digital equivalent of https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/tylenol-murders-1982

In the same vein, I had a play with asking ChatGPT to `format responses as a JSON object with schema {"desc": "str"}` and it seemed to work pretty well. It gave me refusals in plaintext, and correct answers in well-formed JSON objects.

You can force it to output JSON through API too.

If you do that, how does it respond to "forbidden" queries? If non-answers are in JSON format too, then it would defeat the purpose.

One of the biggest recent "mass shootings" was some guy at a walmart with a $200 bow and arrow kit.

Where/when was that? Link?

Norway, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongsberg_attack The way it hit headlines in the USA was somewhat misleading. Look for American news posts if you want to feel out the weird position. You can see the video of him just going about it in a store, and in the entrance.
