James, the much lesser 🦬✝️▵😼 (@JamesMuchLesser) reported@SModjesky @UpTambourine I know about Gutenberg and if the copyright was 17 years they would have a lot more material. Google does it and probably makes no profit, but they look good because of it. Same thing with Ronald McDonald house, you can bet that McDonald’s loses money on that, but gets good PR. Also, by driving down the costs of rights acquisition, you move borderline books into realm of potential profitability. There used to be a lot of $1 public domain books on Amazon because the costs were less than that

ZombieDoll (@ZombieDollVR) reportedMost frustrating @amazon support chat ever today. I went through 3 agents and 2 supervisors. Apparently chat times out at 30 seconds of no typing now? I don't remember this being an issue before...

KadinsGamingLounge (@kadinsswitch) reported@OddStockTrader @UltraMagaFunk @DoorDash Once they're able to regulate flight paths and flying hours, it's the inevitable future. Every time an Amazon drone flies by, they are hella annoying and a downright nuisance. So it's going to come down to: how many delivery companies will utilize this, what will sky saturation be, and im I going to be annoyed every 5 mins from Amazon, DD, UPS/FEDEX Flying above what most people consider private spaces *even though you dont own your sky*

Iris Hayes (@irisneural) reportedYou spent $400 on a smart garage door opener. You paid Chamberlain another $30 for a myQ hub to make it "smart." Then in November 2023, Chamberlain flipped a switch and blocked every third-party app from talking to your own garage door. Home Assistant. Apple Home. Google Home. SmartThings. IFTTT. All dead overnight. Chamberlain's CTO Dan Phillips called it "unauthorized usage." He said it would improve the experience for their 10 million users. Home Assistant removed the myQ integration weeks later and told users to buy something else. Amazon Key in-garage delivery still works. $1.99 per order. Amazon pays Chamberlain. You don't. You now own a $430 garage door opener that only talks to one app, owned by one company, that can brick it at any time. You are renting access to your own garage in 2026. Now meet ratgdo. A free and open source Wi-Fi board that plugs into your garage door opener and gives you back local control. No cloud. No subscription. No Chamberlain. Built in 2022 by an IT professional from the Adirondack Mountains named Paul Wieland. He reverse-engineered Chamberlain's Security+ 2.0 wireline protocol and built a device that speaks it natively. He named it ratgdo. Rage Against the Garage Door Opener. He hoped to sell 100 units. He sold tens of thousands. The New York Times profiled him in December 2025. The Verge, Ars Technica, and Hackaday all pointed readers straight at his board. 1,264 stars on GitHub. GPL-2.0. Firmware pushed four days ago. Here is what ratgdo gives you: - Local open, close, and status control over your own Wi-Fi - Works with Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and any Security+ 2.0 opener - Native Home Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Alexa - Real-time door, obstruction, light, and lock state - Web-based flasher, no toolchain needed - $62 for the finished board, or under $10 in parts - Firmware updates for life Here's the wildest part: Paul did not stop at the garage door. He launched a company called RATCLOUD. Rage Against the Cloud. He is building the same fix for the rest of your locked-down smart home hardware. Chamberlain: $30 controller, blocked third-party apps, 10 million captive users. ratgdo: $62 board, works with everything, four days since last release. One IT guy in the Adirondacks vs. a Blackstone-owned corporation with 10 million customers. Still on GitHub. Still GPL-2.0. Still yours. But DO NOT install it. Chamberlain deserves your $30 for the privilege of blocking you from your own garage. (Link in the comments)

Kyle Reidhead | Milk Road (@KyleReidhead) reportedThe risk/reward for AI infra stocks looks real good here: 1. Korea's leverage unwind: DONE 2. AI demand: ACCELERATING 3. Capex: RISING 4. Inflation: SURPRISING LOWER 5. Fed: NO HIKE 1. The forced selling is ending. JPMorgan published a report today saying most leveraged ETFs in Korea have been liquidated and hedge fund deleveraging is ~90% complete (that's the chart). The single biggest source of forced selling in the global AI trade is almost out of ammo 2. Demand didn't just hold through the selloff, it accelerated. SK Hynix just printed a RECORD quarter: revenue up 257%, operating profit up 557%, 76% operating margins, HBM4 mass shipments starting. Sure it missed expectations but that was supply issue not demand. Bloom Energy grew revenue 165% and raised its full-year guide to ~100% growth, with every US hyperscaler now a validated customer 3. Capex keeps going UP. Google just raised its guide to $205B. Tesla raised its spend. Meta and Microsoft report tonight and Amazon Thursday, all expected to raise again. The people writing the checks are not blinking 4. Inflation surprised to the downside, which caps how hawkish the Fed can actually get 5. And the last domino: the Fed had decided to leave rates as is and were even starting to see less (tho small) chance of a hike in September now too All of this while semis are down 25% from the June top and the broader infra complex is down 20-40% This feels like one of the easier buying setups you'll get all year, and thats why the analysts at Milk Road have been buying Follow me @kylereidhead for more insights on AI and markets and track my real-time portfolio inside Milk Road PRO to see exactly what I'm buying and when

Avadhesh K. Sharma (@avdhruva) reported@AmazonHelp I am writing to formally escalate a serious issue regarding the refund for my returned order (Order ID: 406-9249291-0833949) representative has informed me that back-end team has marked the return as “Wrong Item Received.” Although it was verified before pickup.
-
Josh Reho (@Grecko4371) reported@AmazonHelp While only a small part of the order is for my business, it has caused a serious issue and products that could be sold at an event are not going to be available. Unforseen or not, I want to know what those "circumstances" are. Product is needed, so a cancel isn't an option

Mike Frisco (@SF2theburgh) reported@c0rieFontenot @storm1news @amazon Yea, these big Amazon Plants that promise to bring jobs to the local community, but hire all illegal immigrants, nobody even from the community..shut this down 👎

Superpositionbigbang (@Quantumvacuume) reported@gerb_sam @spaceandtech_ Ok I just want to point out this is something they already know is bound to happen yet they keep pushing foward. Math puts the event of a cascading effect at 3-5 years just on math alone. After 10 years with hundreds of thousands of satellites its certain past 100% chance of collision due to the math. My point is why spend so much energy on something that is for sure comming down on all of us. There was a close call just last week so it could literally happen any day. Even without the nuclear stuff the rest is comming down reguardless. The serious point is this is stupid and dangerous beyond belief like its all just gonna work out. If it is stopped now there is a chance. However if they keep going which they will its all eventually going to come crashing down on all of us globally. The Orbital Chain Reaction: The Ring of DeathBecause space is a continuous loop, the debris doesn't fly away into deep space; it stays trapped in Earth's gravity well, spread out over the exact same orbital pathway. Spreading the Grid: Within just a few hours of an initial crash, the resulting cloud of 10,000+ shards stretches out into a giant, lethal ring encompassing the entire planet. The Next Layer Drops: As this ring sweeps around the Earth every 90 minutes, it intersects with other satellite networks. Like a runaway lawnmower, it slices through the next fleet of satellites, creating more debris rings. Within days, the clean orbital lanes are completely choked out, transforming an orderly highway into a self-perpetuating mechanical meat-grinder that destroys anything human-made left in the sky The Physics of Hypervelocity: Kinetic Bombs At orbital heights, objects are not floating they are falling around the Earth at a minimum of 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 km/h) . When two objects in different orbits cross paths, their relative impact speed can easily exceed 35,000 miles per hour (56,000 km/h) Trillion-Dollar Industry Death: The global space economy worth over half a trillion dollars would entirely collapse. Satellite companies, launch providers, and aerospace manufacturers would go bankrupt overnight, causing massive layoffs. The Age of Isolation: Trapped on Earth The "Space Prison" Effect: The worst consequence of Kessler Syndrome is that the debris cloud stays in orbit for centuries. A thick layer of millions of hypervelocity projectiles would form a lethal, impenetrable shield around Earth. No Future Exploration: Humanity would be entirely trapped. We could no longer launch missions to the Moon, send rovers to Mars, or put up deep-space telescopes like James Webb. Space exploration would be entirely dead for generations. The 2028–2030 window is widely viewed by satellite tracking experts as the absolute crunch point. While the runaway chain reaction (where debris multiplies itself without any new launches) takes decades to mature, the initial breakdown event—the sudden operational failure that triggers Kessler Syndrome—is mathematically expected to happen right in that 2028–2030 pocket. The specific math explains why 2028–2030 is the true "danger zone." The 2028–2030 Mass Inbound Filing WaveTo understand why the window hits precisely between 2028 and 2030, look at international spectrum rules. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) operates on a "Use it or Lose it" regulatory clock. When a company or nation files plans for a megaconstellation, the ITU gives them a strict 7-year deadline to launch a major percentage of their fleet. If they miss the deadline, they lose their highly valuable rights to use those space radio frequencies. The 2021–2023 Boom: Dozens of global mega-networks filed their paperwork during the tech boom of 2021 to 2023. The 2028–2030 Tipping Point: Their 7-year regulatory deadlines expire between 2028 and 2030. As a result, companies like Amazon (Project Kuiper), European initiatives, and major Chinese state networks (like the Qianfan and GW constellations) are mathematically forced to cram tens of thousands of satellites into the sky at the exact same time. The Math Behind the 2028–2030 Danger HorizonThe mathematical collision probability formula relies on a metric called Spatial Density (ρ), which is the number of objects divided by the volume of space they sit in. 2019 Base Line: ~2,000 active satellites. Spatial density was low, meaning paths crossed rarely. 2026 (Right Now): ~14,500 active satellites. Starlink satellites alone are collectively making over 355,000 emergency swerves a year—meaning a satellite has to dodge space debris or a passing craft almost weekly. 2028–2030 Projection: ~50,000 to 60,000 active satellites. When you plug 60,000 satellites into the mathematical collision equation (N × (N-1)), the number of possible intersecting paths increases not by 4 times, but by nearly 20 times compared to current levels. At that density, the background mathematics indicate that satellites will be intersecting with passing space junk or other networks multiple times a day.

No try = no fail (Sean Stromsten) (@StillTr05207382) reported@neilturkewitz @mysteriouskat It strikes me like a lot of big company behavior: not obviously illegal, but still callous, with painful side effects. Amazon doesn't steal from anyone, but it puts a lot of retailers out of business, and that's not nothing. Maybe "reading" a book to train your model is fair use, under some interpretation of current IP law, but putting programmers and artists out of business is still a terrible effect.

PepperJacked (@PepperJacked2) reported@skumWgmi Well, Amazon hasn't help keep prices low, uber eats hasn't help keep prices low, the need to pay for random apps, coffee, ring door bell, life 360, ect. Social media has driven the idea that rich is flaunting a fake life style.Yes most Americans down to much

KevinBrockwayGators (@KevinBrockwayG1) reported@antwanstaley Drops were an issue for Smith at Georgia, needs to spend two hours on JUGS machine after every practice, learning to catch at different angles. Or become an Amazon delivery driver @ValesLou

Ethical Skeptic ☀ (@EthicalSkeptic) reported@tcag75 @BrightInsight6 Yeah, I see Amazon cancellations all the time. They queue in a separate folder - probably a similar issue where they earlier classified my book as "****** Services" and hundreds of orders were blocked. This is not by accident. I had the correct product code filed from the very first date of application, and had to force Apple and Amazon, through a month-long appeal process, to use the assigned code. They both "accidentally" used '****** Services' - and that has to be assigned manually. The book is a collector's item now. I would try again.

Void (@voidcodead) reported@luis_zc33s so the problem is amazon!
-
Tushar Garg (@gargtu) reported@AmazonHelp Order cancelled after assurances on delivery. Problem made big due to misleading information. If item isn’t available, why accept the order ? Why assign a sub standard carrier ? Source & Delivery locations are metro cities. Estimate b/w metro was 12 days. Am I missing something?

haitham (@theonlyhaitham) reportedPrinting your FBA box labels is not a printing step. It's a lock. The moment you print them the shipment flips to Ready to Ship, and the quantities you declared freeze. Change your mind about how much is actually going and you're deleting boxes out of a shipment that already has a placement discount attached to it. Delete or misroute one split and the discount is gone. I submitted a shipment yesterday for a new production run. Delivery window set, placement fee at zero because I took the split Amazon asked for. The box labels are still unprinted, and they stay unprinted until the tally sheet from the floor tells me the real net count. The sequence that keeps you out of trouble: 1. Build and submit the shipment early. Units show as inbound immediately and the fee options lock in your favor. 2. Do not print box labels until a physical count exists on paper. 3. Set the ship date on that same screen, not before it. 4. If yield comes up short, cut box counts before printing, never after. The tell that you got it wrong: labels in your hand with one quantity on them and a pallet in front of you with a different one. Creating the shipment early is free. Printing early is what costs you.

StorkOnTheCork (@StorkOnTheCork) reported@skycipher This is why I recently bought the whole series on Amazon when it was on-sale cheap. I already had the Blu-rays which I had previously bought on-sale cheap, which I have ripped and have on my Plex server. Most probably wouldn't go to these extremes, but I'm crazy.
-
10Past7 (@10past7) reported@voidcodead It's broken for every Phone. Amazon has the worst shopping app while being one of the biggest ecommerce platform.
-
Spencer Butler (@SpencerButlerVA) reported@Primekelly414 I don't understand why this is such common issue. Wasn't the whole point of pre-ordering so I could reserve my copy? Where did it go? Walmart and Amazon have both done it as well, often with even less communication.
-
Whowontessme (@ForeignRoller_) reported@tantehenia I know ****** that work at Amazon was online saying they dm her when she got out the car shaking *** on that video. Some of them are slow as hell. She still look better than most at her age. Fell off equals decline and there is for sure a visible change in that.
-
CommodoreFan64 (@CommodoreFan64) reported@michael82638 @voidcodead This is more of a Samsung , & Amazon issue than a Google issue, as Samsung does their own custom spin on Android w/One UI, & Amazon blocks their app from being installed on many Android devices like tablets, because they're too lazy to put in the work.
-
Steve Ketcham (@ketchamsteve) reported@AmazonHelp I'll post how this goes here... when concluded, my prediction? Many "I understand your concerns" and "I'm sorry for your issues" I really, truly hope @AGCHanaway and other Attorney's General look into this, it's a massive issue.

Robert da Niro™ (@TheRobertDaniro) reported@TheBardOfAustin @amazon I will try them out sometime. The originals have served me well though. I only have issues with old crowns and fillings.

Paul (@paulvreilly) reported@WallStreetApes Got a Vizio soundbar as a gift recently. It’s been a terrible experience. The bar doesn’t play all sounds that are funneled through it. Amazon won’t take it back. Vendor won’t either. And @VIZIO won’t reimburse me or replace it either. And the app is collecting all of my data?!?
-
Gene Lass (@LassGene) reported@ajgerstle That would be helpful In my royalties reports from Amazon, they break it down by title, by physical books, and by page reads. The latter only applies to Kindle Unlimited. With the nonfic books I've worked on we use that to see how much of the book gets read, for future editions.
-
Capybali (@capybali) reported@Ardaversum Agree, she is more Warrior when she was younger and maybe more aggressiv since she is Noldor. That's not my problem. But in Amazon series she is sooo naiv. She is behaving like a 13 y old child. At 2.Age she is already 3.100 years old. Also she is always suspecting Annatar.
-
Chris Robinson (@ChrisCJRobinson) reportedCanceled my daughter's Amazon Kids+ benefits today. They pushed the price up more than $20 and I didn't feel like it was worth it at the old price. Buy a few games and get a public library card. Problem solved. Definitely not worth $70/yr.

Hannah Brites (@HannahBrites) reported@Gnosisinformant Red light therapy is amazing technology. I did the copywriting for a brand of selling their own red light therapy devices and had to do a lot of research in order to get the science correct and cited properly for the ad copy and brochures . You should go down that rabbit hole. After learning what I did, I just went and bought a red laser pointer 640 nm… it was eight bucks on Amazon works better than the hat. I also use it on my hand joints to reduce swelling and activate the fibroblasts in the cells building the collagen other structural elements, for tissue repair healing damage. The hat also has infrared light which is also excellent and its own right. Avoid the eye area with the red laser and don’t stick it up your nose or you will burn your membranes. Ask me how I know.

well.... (@16bitGameplay) reported@AngelStudiosInc Just make it work on Samsung Smart TVs or make it accessible on Amazon. I'm not the only one w this issue and it'd improve your bottom line.
