  Pretty close to the scene in The Changeling (1980)

  3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitor, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.

  This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.

  Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.

  I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.

  There’s Instapaper and once upon a time they even gave you an email address to send links into. Maybe they still do that.

  Keepa is better, and depending on whether you’re conspiratorial, not compromised as 3Camels was accused of some years ago.

  Ah yes, Lenny Kilmister, the lesser known but very quotable brother of Lemmy Kilmister.

  “a stainless… steel… WOK.”

  I’m going to need a supercut of this guy saying “WOK”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Their email and even their “Plex: Free vs Paid” page is confusing. However, the “Requirements for Remote Playback of Personal Media“ is more clear.

  I do not have a Plex Pass, but I stream remotely from a Plex Media Server

  To stream video remotely from a Plex Media Server, you will need either a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.
