You are correct. But the right tool in the wrong hands is still non credible in the eyes of perception.

This is my take. Elon just showed the world what we all knew. The tool is not trustworthy. All other AI suppliers are busy trying to work on credibility that grok just butchered.

Same. The problem with going blog etc means not only work but also does not alllow you to have privacy.

We could likely have some kind of community here but it would be somewhat country specific. Would you do it products recommends upon request or pick a product category and put it out there?

I am not in the USA so can’t access home depot. Is it this one https://www.blackanddecker.com/products/bdstga9701

It’s nice and high, Does it turn easy?

I have been trying to not buy plastic everything too. That was one of my gripes with my kitchen stuff.

With this I have to admit plastic is the right product. It needs to be light enough to turn and I suspect if it’s metal or wood it would get corroded too quick.

I’m picking and choosing my battles.

I am after a compost tumbler. A bit specific 🤣

Translate option works well on test.de. They have a pretty decent variety of products.

It was a pretty good read. It felt like much of what I was suspecting was laid out in a nice structure, with an idea of why it was occurring. It didn’t feel like a crazy rant. I did note they themselves are an Amazon affiliate however they did take an objective view.

I did think at first it was me being overly fussy with what I was seeing. It’s good to know it’s not just me.

I was actually looking at gardening equipment which is a bit niche for there. I think I am missing the days where people tried stuff out and commented on it rather than ‘tried this from there it’s great go buy at retailer abc’ I had the same problem recently with kitchen utensils. I don’t want tons of plastic ones. I wanted a small selection of decent tools. It was frustrating wading through the crap to find good reviews and verdicts on what is/isn’t essential.

I think there is a big difference between buy European and buy a crafted product.

Some people have money to buy unique, local, to support a cause another has invested their energy into. Others simply don’t or don’t consider it a value.

People are stretched. You can’t take this personal or it will affect your self value.

Is it privacy or reliability?

Fallen you are a legend!

I think that’s the worry. Do I have to start again. Will my stuff be disrupted. Spotify has counted on me sleepwalking though with them and not moving because of this fear. They have had enough of my money.

I had to laugh at the leaving page “if you leave me now you’ll take away the biggest part of me”. Spotify is not a human and I’ll take my money. They need to get lost with the emotive marketing, Spotify and the CEOs actions speak louder.

My hard earned money and who I spend it with is one of my biggest voices in my world.

Been thinking of booting them for a whilst. Just cancelled. Better late than never.

Thanks. This I nice little guide, easy to suss and helps me figure my priorities.
