They don’t seem to give overall preference to a given supplier beyond their obvious coupons and paid rankings. Alibaba is better, but who needs 144 of any specific widget…?

If you compare to one of the most preferred e-commerce website, which I would consider Amazon, it’s still not that bad. I have found less lies on Ali express v Amazon. If it comes to any cheaper electronics the Ali description is the real deal as far as I have seen. Amazon I have been shipped differing products, the description or features have just been a lie, or it didn’t come with the things implied. For the most part Ali descriptions are exactly what you will expect when opening the product… in fact many times I discover extra features when receiving the product that seemingly just couldn’t explain in their marketing.

Ali>Aliexpress>Amazon… just depends on needs

Aliexpress seems most straightforward, and not quite as gimmicky.

Could we take em to small claims for like $500 a comment? That would be a devastating movement lol

It’s not complicated to me, just make more. We should have a government funded drug producer for all the generics that the big companies don’t think are profitable enough.

We shouldn’t punish a population because a minority abuse something, that really only affects themselves.

I mean there are clear savings advantages to switching to electronic tags. It takes like 30 to 100 man hours every week to swap out labels depending on store size. Thats like 20 to 50k a year you can save on labor by just having them automatically update each week.

Plus the tags/price strips right now aren’t free. Probably another 5k you save a year

Depends on the state

But you can write whatever crap you want, it can’t just be the basis of the entire contract.

Let’s say I write a contract for you to supply me bricks for 10 years at a firm fixed price cost of $1 a brick, with an order limit of 100 million bricks. I could then add in elsewhere “if more than 5% of the bricks are damaged, you must supply me with one living unicorn.”

That whole contract doesn’t become void because unicorns do not exist. In fact, if it went to court a lawyer might even argue with a straight face that the supplier must provide something of equal value to a unicorn.

You can write almost any bull crap you want, as long as it obviously doesn’t go up against some law and has the main contract elements.

An unenforceable aspect of a contract, won’t void the entire contract if it goes to court, unless it’s the main aspect of the contract.

What if the Devil just automatically does the transfer and some prankster gets to hell and is friggin rich with like 20k souls to his name?

I can download a torrent faster than I can even figure out which service the content is on… assuming it’s even available on one of them.

They should just pay people to lay the cable directly instead of awarding it programmatically to companies.

Their PDF signing service has essentially been dead since the government started using Digital sign… now they are bleeding whatever small segments are still left using their service. This won’t end well for Adobe PDF products.

Can you explain what it does, or why one would want one?

Is it even possible to do effective geoengineering if the biggest countries aren’t even on the same page?

I assume they aren’t doing any of this in the corporate environment? Because there would be real world consequences for that.

If they aren’t doing any of this advertising and collecting in the corporate realm, then I just don’t see it making a lot of sense in the private realm. So many people don’t use personal computers. People are burned out already from 8hrs at work, they usually use a phone or tablet at home. Very few things require sitting down with a computer now.

Because so much usage is through mobile now, it seems a dangerous play for the payoff. Every time someone switches to Linux, it makes it easier for the next person. I see a very unlikely, but still possible risk that some minor companies might just switch to some sort of Linux alternative. Especially if they are worried about employees taking sensitive data home and it getting snagged by Microsoft.

Wow, you somehow answered my follow up before I could even ask it.

My main goal was to eventually do a plex or jellyfin type setup for the house. Good to hear that it works just as well on Linux. Is the setup more difficult, or are there enough guides and documentation that it’s not too bad?

They are just movie files, saved in a folder. Nothing complicated, will Linux be able to find that folder or files?

I assume the government gets a product exempted from this feature, or do they too have to do all the work to disable it?

Does Linux do steam games? Can it easily find the movies I already downloaded? Complete noob.

It breaks the scrolling, breaking user experience.
