Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • The order is:Use whatever tool is not malicious and doesnt attack customer data.

    Most use (IMO) way too much AI. The first result (the google AI answer) is trusted and done.No research done beyond that.

    I purposefully blocked the AI answer in uBlock. I don't want any of that.Besides that I use it on occassion to look for a word or reword my search query if I don't find or know what I am looking for.Very useful for the "What was the name of X again? It does Y and Z" queries.Also for Powershell scripting because it can give me examples on using it.

    But every asnwer is double and tripple checked for accuracy.Seen too much news about made up answers.

    At home I usually only use it for bash scripting because I can't be bothered to learn that.

  • MediaMarkt and Saturn (our largest electronics retailers) first merged then were bought up by JD.com (chinese retailer)Any other shop is a small chain/one-man-army type of shop which usually don't have what I need :/

    Recently discovered a decent camera shop by coincidence while traveling :) That was cool.They are both physical and online. And they werent pushy about their products. Which is great!

  • May be.Didnt know wages became affordable as well.

    This aint the US where you don't pay for the social safety net :) Also I'm not into sweatshop products if it can be avoided.

  • Like what? 2x the price for worse hardware?Feels like the only alternative for reasonable priced stuff is AliExpress (in regards to electronics)

  • Exactly my philosophy.I try to buy in this order (time and money is of no concern):Local shops -> domestic Online shops -> AliExpress (electronics) or Amazon (branded electronics like storage) -> Amazon (anything else).

    If it aint available for a decent price and I don't need it, I won't buy it ¯(ツ)/¯

  • If it holds up longer, start by dividing it by each year you use it daily for.

    Once break even, determine if it's still too expensive .

    Buy cheap, buy twice.Buy decent, buy once (for longer time).

  • Difference is the quality.The listed item may break after 10 months or is not comfortable.Meanwhipe this holds up for >5 years and feels very good.

    You pay for actual wages, quality assurance and not being subject to cancerous dyes they use over there without preparing them.

    I will never buy anything plastic on Amazon or AliExpress that will enter my body.

  • I have a few local electronic shops.It's just that they dont have what I need or are way more expensive.

    It is almost impossible to buy RAM or a CPU in person outside of specialty shops.SSDs or HDDs are only available in low capacity (<2TB) and/or low spec (M.2 Gen3).

    Nothing of use for an enthusiast.The only worth they have to me are as a appliance seller (e.g. TVs, household appliance, general use audio equipment)
