A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My point was not to buy things that are just shitty crap from aliexpress. Or that cheap crap from aliexpress is unappealing junk that nobody would want to buy, the equivalent of email spam. In fact, the complaint I tend to hear people make the most often about Amazon is how hard it is to find anything on there that isn't cheap chinese junk from AliExpress.
Perhaps people use Amazon differently than I do. I mostly buy niche items that you simply can't buy at stores, or if you do find them at stores they are astronomically expensive.
Which is not to say I don't switch things up. I order from Best Buy, Walmart, a whole bunch of different places. But on balance, I'm happy with the Prime subscription and use it frequently.
