Best Buy Membership "discount" (lemmy.world)

So I was shopping with my wife today and I said “oh let’s see if my membership helps out.” So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I’m paying for in this membership if the items “original price” is higher for me than it is for...

glarf OP ,

m the same IP address? Cause some places check for that kind of thing.

Yep, didn’t bother playing any games, same IP.

glarf OP ,

Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say “what the heck,” I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.

Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

glarf OP ,

Some less tired viewers have correctly pointed out that the “warranty” was added for a price and discounted in the cart, as well as free delivery. Perhaps, if you don’t find the UI misleading like I did, this isn’t a bad thing.

glarf OP ,

Microcenter doesn’t sell fridges, unfortunately. However, I have been pretty pleased with them since Fry’s is out of then picture. That was a rough couple of years.

glarf OP ,

Oh for sure, they really went to crap the last few years.

glarf ,

That was great!

glarf ,

Yeah, so I guess we should just change nothing, right?

/s in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious we are in desperate need of changing gun laws.

glarf ,

Yes, I have to agree the problem is not just gun laws, and, in isolation, changes to gun laws would not fix the root of the problem.

Appeals Court Bails Trump Out of Having to Post Massive Fraud Bond (www.rollingstone.com)

Donald Trump was supposed to have to post a $464 million bond by Monday or else the state of New York could begin collecting on the massive civil fraud judgment leveled against him earlier this year. An appeals court bailed him out, blocking collection of the judgment and giving the former president 10 days to post a drastically...

Un fucking believable.

This update causes my Jetbrains IDE to randomly crash several times a day, it’s great. Also my USB hubs wouldn’t work this morning until I power cycled everything a few times. What fun!

glarf ,

I can’t speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can’t imagine going back to a slab

glarf ,

Hard disagree, fold 4 gang.

glarf ,

Aww I didn’t even know there was a Rock Band 4, I would love to play that series again but I can’t find the band in a box anywhere, and based on the news, they’re sunsetting the game too. How lame.

glarf ,

That was a neat read, thanks!

glarf ,

Howdy! There’s some engagement for yah

The Telecom Industry Is Very Mad Because The FCC MIGHT Examine High Broadband Prices (www.techdirt.com)

The Telecom Industry Is Very Mad Because The FCC MIGHT Examine High Broadband Prices::We’ve long noted how the FCC (regardless of party) largely ignores how muted competition and monopolization drives up prices for consumers. The agency often talks a good (if ambiguous) game about “bridging the digital divide,” but they...

$80/mo symmetrical gig, no cap, fiber. ATT is shit but they’ve been very reliable with this service, first time I’ve been a happy customer of theirs.

glarf ,

It’s nearly every other post on my lemmy everything feed. Jeeeerez give it a rest.

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of btrfs, in my limited sample size of one I had several episodes of esoteric errors and data loss. It’s anecdotal but filesystems have never been something to give me trouble in any other scenario to date. They just exist and do their job silently in my experience, except for btrfs.

glarf ,

Neat, thanks for breaking it down in here!

glarf ,

Yep, same here. Premium is worth it for me too. I don’t understand the entitlement on lemmy with YouTube, it’s worse than reddit.

glarf OP ,

Glad I can shove more things into the same physical space. I can’t wait until HAMR is ready next!

glarf ,

I’m 100% with you on that. I have filtered out so many communities because I get frustrated seeing the same shit posted to every iteration of a stupid news community. It’s exhausting to try and see things once.

glarf ,

I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed this. Absolutely infuriating. I hate self checkout because of shit like this

glarf ,

What a sad state this country is coming to. We deserve affordable access to safe healthcare. Abortion is healthcare!

glarf ,

Yep, same for me

glarf ,

Seriously, what a shit generalization of an entire CONTINENT.

glarf ,

Connect for lemmy works great for me so far. Though it doesn't support wide screens very well.
