Apologies for the tangent:

I know we're just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word "some" to statements about groups. It's just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn't make the joke less funny.

That 90's brand of humor of "X group does Y" has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I'd really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.

Totally optional. Thank you

Did 39 people really believe this enough to upvote this? This is easily proven false. Amazon is convoluted because it's old as heck and they hire subpar engineers. Like me. I used to work on the team that made the search page. It sucks because most of us were fresh out of college and had never made a website in our lives.

Have you tried buying from aliexpress? It's the same products as on Amazon, but directly from the supplier. Imagine Amazon, but everything's 50% off.

God damnit not this swill again. It's not even close to triple, it's like 15%. Read. The. Reports.

For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.

And it's the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.

The EU's CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You'll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it's way better than my work's $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

Feel free to add it to the list. It's Wikipedia.

Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It's Wikipedia

The government had a warrant, read the article.

It's just made confusing by the fact that the thief had signed into the victim's phone, so it makes for a good clickbait story "police got the wrong guy's data"
