A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I usually try and at least look on other sites first, Amazon's prices aren't necessarily the best (in fact it's usually guaranteed that they aren't) and it's hard to know what you're getting. For somethings though it's fine like phone cases etc; stuff you would kind of expect to be garbage anyways and it's often hard to find the exact things in a local store.
There's just enough ok shows on Prime to watch as well, it's like they know exactly what they can get away with.
(Now their stack tv in Canada is basically useless garbage, page after page of episodes that "aren't available right now"...so why show them then)
There is an add-on you can add to your browser if you use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox that replaces the cart button with a button showing you the cost for the item on other sites.
