By that logic the pi3 should be readily available.

Exactly. My hobby is making my own smart devices, and I can get 10x of one sensor from Ali for the cost of 1x from Amazon.

I'm pretty sure the filters you're talking about are exactly what the converter I'm talking about does, if we're not talking about the same thing (unless you're talking about software filters)

That's why streaming took off, and why piracy is on the rise again.

I've never once had an issue with an Amazon refund or return in the US besides forgetting to mail my return back, and I use shopping to self medicate my depression.

I actually got a free mini fridge from Walmart.

I ordered it site to store, and when I opened it, it was damaged. Went online and started the replacement process, then decided I didn't want to deal with sending it back. I called CS and told them, and they canceled the return.

I bring it to the store, they do the refund, then I check my bank statement and there was 2 refunds. I let the people at the store know, and they said that since it was an online order, I had to call CS.

By this point it was like 10pm, so I got an Indian when I called. She swore up and down that everything was fine and no mistake was made. I don't think she understood that I was saying I owed them money (I didn't want the store associates to get in trouble). After 15 minutes of back and forth, I decided that I had tried hard enough to do the right thing.

I would be so happy if Amazon got slapped with a RICO charge.

Man, you're playing with fire by buying 18650s from a vendor that doesn't test their batches.

Either that or it gives you like 3 results after filtering, even though there were pages of matching results before the filter was applied.

Ali has good stuff depending on what you're buying. Amazon usually has the exact same stuff for like 50% more

It's a pretty solid OS now.
