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...

And free shipping. I think he would have been charged for delivery on the non-member order. Probably why he didn’t add it.

Unless the item he is buying is one of the “exclusive offers”, then I don’t really see the issue.

ji17br ,

That’s not what’s happening.

ji17br ,

You’re absolutely spot on. Unfortunately no one here is willing to accept it.

ji17br ,

At no point was he defending scammers. This is insane.

ji17br ,

Allowing someone to play a game in which the rules and odds are clear and up front, is not a scam. Full stop.

ji17br ,

Yes. He’s asking a question? Why is an online casino bad?

If the casino follows all rules and regulations, then that is not bad.

If talking about sites that steal your money and don’t pay out when you “win”, then yes, that is bad, and a scam. But that’s not an online casino…that’s a scam. And also incredibly rare.

An online casino can make a shit ton of money by just following the rules. Why would they need to break the rules?

ji17br ,

Excellent. You have no idea what you’re talking about :)

ji17br ,

Gotta upvote the dude

Ok I normally hate puns on peoples names, but Enron Musk is hilarious

Better be careful, you might accidentally fall out of a helicopter.

ji17br ,

Wow 24 years and still under 300k? Impressive

ji17br ,

I once got 5/12 double eggs in a normal ass carton. Still my greatest achievement.

ji17br ,

Feels better than the normal carton 😉

I dislike the AI push as much as the next guy, but you are totally right. Pro-AI comments don’t do well around these parts. It’s crazy that people are denying it.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...

ji17br ,

If you’re on iOS setting up profiles would work. I have work, driving, and do not disturb. Each one allowing/blocking specific notifications

ji17br ,

If you don’t like being disturbed while driving you should use do not disturb while driving.

ji17br ,

If someone spends all of their credit limit just because it’s there, there is no one to blame but that person.

They could easily just get a wifi camera for cheap. I don’t think this business owner is interested in doing things the right way.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

ji17br ,

It’s not a waste at all. The extra computing power allows them to get much better performance than previous model OR the same performance with half the power use. That’s pretty important in a mobile device.

ji17br ,

But capacitors aren’t batteries. Batteries store chemical energy. Capacitors store electrical potential energy. Electronically they behave much differently.

ji17br ,

I’ve only ever heard it called jive

ji17br ,

If everyone I’ve ever heard use the word thinks it’s jive, at what point does that become correct? Isn’t that how language works?

ji17br ,

MacBook Pros are 100Wh as well. Battery life is incredible.

ji17br ,

Ah so just the 16” is 100Wh then. Makes sense, more room.

ji17br ,

Technically they make orders of magnitude more because the money they bring in is orders of magnitude more

ji17br ,

I’m not an expert but I believe the fuel is hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms fuse together to produce helium + energy

ji17br ,

Highlight the tracks, command+c, paste into numbers, and then print it.

Was my first idea and it works, took about 5 seconds.

ji17br ,

It’s in the title, the justice department said that. There’s no way they are a monopoly.

ji17br ,

Infinite?

You don’t need to be on android to play pirated music. OP clearly is more interested in supporting the artists.

ji17br ,

There’s no security implications with allowing users to play mp3 files, they don’t care where they came from. 75% of my library is music that I either pirated or ripped from my own CDs, it’s not like iTunes (now Music) can tell which is mine and which isn’t. Same thing with movies/tv shows.

is there any program to force a linux based OS or a mac to only use outlet power and not battery power, even if I cannot physically remove the battery?

more questions about the MacBook Pro, Core i5, 2.8 GHz (I5-4308U), model A1502 (EMC 2875), a model where I cannot disconnect the battery, because the whole case is closed, a model Im going to use to experiment with mac and create a partition to install a linux distro alongside the mac os....

ji17br ,

The bottom is quite easy to take off, just some screws around the perimeter and you’re in. You can unplug the battery pretty easily but it’s harder to remove as it’s glued down. Also I’m pretty sure MacBooks severely underclock the processor if there’s no battery so your performance may suffer. Been through the same thing with my 2013 MacBook Pro. It’s a Linux mint server now.

I’m not 100% sure but which power source you are using, and whether or not the battery seems more like a BIOS or SMC thing, so I’m not sure if even Linux would be able to access it. I could also be totally wrong

ji17br ,

It’s all done on-device

ji17br ,

I agree it sucks. But I can understand the rationale. At peak times, if people try to go to Wendy’s, and it’s too busy, they go somewhere else. At this point the demand is higher than supply. Clearly increasing cost will create more profit.

Long term they are probably hoping that people decide to not all come in a peak times, and the peak is more spread out. This way lines are never long enough for people to just say fuck this and then leave. Less lost sales = more profit.

In reality I can see people just not going, so I agree with you that long term they see less sales. But honestly who really knows, people can be pretty irrational.

ji17br ,

I concur 🍑😉

ji17br ,

Doesn’t That tower still need to route the call to 911? And if that routing is broken the call wouldn’t go through…I think?

ji17br ,

I was under the impression that a company (AT&T) owns the tower, and they can lease out connections from that tower to other providers. They are also required by law to route 911 calls for free, but I can see a scenario if they botched the routing where 911 would not be accessible from that tower.

ji17br ,

Not sure how accurate this would be as charging is not 100% efficient. Also the amount of power the phone uses while charging would have to be taken into account as well.

ji17br ,

I’ve heard this a couple times now. Where in Canada are they doing this?

ji17br ,

I just tried with the default files app. You can definitely rename file extensions.

ji17br ,

If only everyone was as reasonable as you!

Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?

i wouldn’t normally be concerned since any company releasing a VR product with this price tag is obviously going to fail… but it’s apple and somehow through exquisite branding and sleek design they have managed to create something that resonated with “tech reviewers” and rich folk who can afford it....

ji17br ,

We should definitely be assaulting people that do things completely harmless to us, just because we don’t like it.

Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time?

I’m pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?...

ji17br ,

Rock Climbing/Bouldering. It’s great exercise, I throw in my earbuds, do my own thing, it’s a lot of fun. Don’t worry about being out of shape there are routes for all skill levels

Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’” (au.news.yahoo.com)

Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’”::A Taylor Swift fan believed her VIP ticket was ‘stolen’ from her account by Ticketek after an apparent system ‘glitch’.

ji17br ,

Also, if they had booked flights, hotels, and made other commitments to travel to the concert that money might not be easy to get back.

ji17br ,

I would never buy a Vision Pro, doesn’t mean I’m not going to correct people when they are wrong about tech.

ji17br ,

Why are you continuing to lie? I never said you can connect directly to it. The parent comment said

“You can use any USB battery with it, just plug it into the battery pack.”

Which is absolutely true. You claimed it was false. I corrected you. I’ve made no other claims about wanting a Vision Pro, loving Apple, or anything else that you are insinuating. Just take the L dude.

I could not find any resources that charging a the Vision Pro battery from an external battery is a safety hazard. It’s using USB spec for power delivery, as long as it receives the correct voltage and current it wouldn’t care what is on the other end.

Sure, some cheap battery banks are not designed to be charged and discharged at the same time, but this is clearly not the case here.

ji17br ,

Holy shit dude. You still don’t understand? There is no lighting connector involved.

The cable coming out of the battery pack and goes to the wall is standard usb-c. Rather than plugging this usb-c connector into the included wall adapter, you could plug it into a battery that supports usb-c power delivery.

I honestly don’t know how I can make it any clearer for you.

ji17br ,

Incorrect. Apple does not need to approve or sign any code for it to run on any Mac.
