| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Well, I just ordered $85 in fake MicroSD Cards on Amazon and was not drunk | 13:37 |
|---|---|---|
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> ? | 13:38 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Ivoriesablaze, They had a 2 TB version for $40.00!!! | 13:38 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> ah | 13:38 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> do they at least look cool? | 13:39 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Ivoriesablaze, It is clearly fake though, I doubt more than 16 GB | 13:39 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Maybe 32 GB | 13:39 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I am doing a follow-up to https://kmyers.me/blog/rant/warning-amazon-has-a-massive-problem-with-fake-microsd-cards/ as Amazon did not take my complaint seriously | 13:39 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> grammatical errors in article triggering me | 13:41 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Ivoriesablaze, Yeh, decaffeinated when I wrote that. | 13:41 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It was tagged as a "rant" which are articles that I just write as fast as possible without much proof reading | 13:42 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> gotcha | 13:42 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> so they sent you semi-canned responses | 13:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Ivoriesablaze, Yes, convincing enough that I thought they would actually do something. Granted a few of the ones I pointed out were removed (likely by the seller after running out of inventory), many are still there. I ordered a few including one of the "Kingflash" and "Generic". I also ordered a few insane ones like a 2 TB drive that is a "Sponsored" listing | 13:51 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MQYRYRD/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=kmyers.me-20&linkId=9c0c6c9846b29bb057683719192aac65&language=en_US | 13:53 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Needless to say, dont order that one | 13:53 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Passed it on @KMyers. You should mention Prime in the title. | 13:57 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I will add prime to the title of the nest one | 14:00 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> I've seen that before, terrible. | 14:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I am not sure why but traffic to that article has been insane. It got close to 5000 visits in the first few months (most of them within a week of the article being posted). It then went to ~10 hits a week | 14:06 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It is seeing an average of 70 hits per week over the past 2 weeks | 14:07 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> That is impressive as my site is not a high traffic site by any measure | 14:07 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> That's lower than I expected. I think I was getting about 10k/month on C-Dev. | 14:08 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Not the same thing, but anyone remember these? https://redhill.net.au/d/10.php | 14:10 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> I don't have any analytics for adamoutler.com | 14:10 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I am seeing ~150 unique daily visitors on average. Of course I have seen a massive surge due to being linked to from several websites covering Chrome OS stuff | 14:10 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Luke Van Dervoort, Wow, before my time but I was really into learning about this when I was younger | 14:11 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> Before my time too. I go back to standard IDE. | 14:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <AdamOutler> And ISA ports | 14:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> I had a couple of those I reformatted after market. They were right, could be unreliable if you had the wrong controller | 14:14 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> But risk space was really an issue then | 14:14 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> I remember I was trying to download a naked picture of Cheryl Teigs from a bbs and didnt have the free 1mb to store it. I was scrambling to delete help files and such to get the space I needed! | 14:16 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Ha | 14:16 |
