Sadly, both Home Depot and Target have “marketplaced” their online stores as well, so you have to sort through the garbage just like Amazon.

Agreed. This is a good idea overall, but the implementation smells like a bailout of commercial real estate developers to me.

Also happy to pitch in.

T-Mobile will issue an E-SIM for their prepaid service. I have used it as a secondary network within the past year to supplement the poor Verizon coverage in certain areas. Check their site for details

I’ve picked up 1350s from Woot and Costco online.

Re: enshittification - I totally agree that they’ve ruined what Etsy was actually good for and now they’re just milking it dry. It’s all generic, mass produced crap now and the search result ads within their site are incredibly obtrusive.

Walmart’s brand, Ozark Trail, makes great stainless cups/tumblers and rotomolded coolers, too. But we all know half the appeal of Yeti is the branding flex, so other brands just won’t do for a lot of folks.

It’s things like this that make me think the big automakers will eventually come out on top in the EV space.

Also, I wonder whether the extreme weight of electric vehicles has been factored into insurance premiums yet. I would think they would cause a lot more damage in collisions due to being so much heavier than other vehicles.
