That's rich, coming from a company that tramples over everybody's privacy.


Amazon sellers keep complaining, that more and more users only bother to write reviews when something is wrong with the product, but not when everything is OK.

Well, I wrote three 5 star reviews during the last year, and I put a real effort into them, giving others tips how to avoid common mistakes when using the product, and correcting common misconceptions. I could do this, because I know this class of devices well.

The outcome was in every case, that I got a message back, that Amazon has to check and approve the reviews, which never happened. It's obvious, that they either don't want thorough reviews, even if they are 5 star, or are just not able to understand them.

After that, I understandably stopped to write reviews. In fact, I deleted my Amazon account, because I had some cases of defective products and dubious dealers, in which Amazon wasn't helpful at all, and that seems to become more and more common recently.


You should post the review on your own web page. There are several specialed review sites making a million or more per year on ads alone, so it could be a nice side gig.


I recently suspended my Ebay account. One of the reasons was the fact that, although I used 2-factor login, Ebay forced me to solve captchas every second login.

What am I? A trained monkey jumping through hoops?

Ebay even sells FIDO2 sticks, but is to dumb to actually implement FIDO login?

Ridiculous.


Please die a screaming death. All of you captcha services. I hate you.

Can I try PureOS, as it runs on the phone, in a simulator? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

They probably know what I think they can do to themselves.


Please don't complain about webpage infrastructure in the comments, it degrades the conversation as everyone has an opinion about Cloudflare and that becomes the topic instead of PlayStation games.

Seems that Mint also inherited this vulnerability.


The main reason why companies like SMS 2FA: It costs next to nothing, and it shifts the responsibility to the customer.

Your account got hacked? Not our problem, we have 2FA. Must've been your fault.


the main reason: customers choose it over other options.
