  I’ve always bought cables from Monoprice first and Amazon second.

    Have you had any issues, I’m seeing ridiculously long cables that I didn’t think we’re commercially available like 15m 48gbps HDMI which I thought was above the length maximum

      Is it fiber or copper? Copper is probably not going to get you that far, but fiber can supposedly still deliver a decent signal at up to 60m.

        I don’t understand, wouldn’t the cable need to be copper to be a HDMI? If it was fiber you’d need something to convert the signal back to electrical from optical before the TV no?

      There are optical HDMI cables with much longer maximum lengths than passive copper cables. I assume the electrical - optical conversion is done in the plug itself.

        That is unbelievable, I never knew this. I can’t believe there is a terminal in the jack allowing for the conversion it’s really impressive.

  It’d worse than things like Temu. With that you just know you’re buying cheap knockoffs with let’s say questionable quality. On Amazon, you don’t know what quality you’re getting, for a worse price, and even worse delivery times (my last purchase from Amazon took 2 months to deliver. For a book!).

    Amazon has basically become a delivery company with a shop front and no responsibility.

    Their selling fees are utterly incomprehensible, but their calculator reckons you’ll get about half the money for a £18 item and about 60% of it for a £45 item.

    I feel like for that sort of cut, Amazon should be taking full responsibility for the fire hazard bullshit available from them.

    Amazon, Uber, Deliveroo, etc are just leeches.

    Does Temu actually send the items?

    • sndrtj@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      In my experience, yes.

  Bought some plant stuff for the wifes bday and the company name on Amazon was XXXtenacion…wtf does that even mean? Why xxx? I don’t know, but there are thousands of these ai generated/poorly translated brandings going on.

    …That’s the name of a dead rapper. What the hell?

    source

    • slumberlust@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You are right! I double checked it’s XXXFlower, not the rapper :)

      • Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I would’ve believed you either way lmao. The amount of weird brand names when I’m looking for something as generic as, say, a HDMI cable, wouldn’t make me surprised if a seller named themselves after XXXTentacion

      • JonEFive@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Fun fact: XXXFlower not the rapper is Chance the rapper’s second cousin

    I prefer fleaBay these days. I mostly know what I’m getting whether it be someone’s personal item or a mass produced product. I feel like I have better control. Not a lot, but more. I also use B&H for tech stuff.
