This genuinely annoys the living hell out of me: https://www.reuters.com/legal/amazon-dup.. #amazon are being #sued *rightfully* by the #ftc for #darkpatterns in their #ui to rob their #customers of #millions . All other Coutnries including the #uk must do the same, it's insane. We all deserve better.

Man, you find yourself getting mad #reading this #article about #amazon screwing over a #legit #seller in #favour of #chinese #knockoffs https://medium.com/@david073/7-million-d.. These guys are also super #aggressive - causing their #listing to go down every 5 minutes is not cool. #amazon 100% need to do something about this, otherwise their #store will be filled to the brim with #cheap #chinese shit.

I agree here with this #article about when it is *sometimes* #appropriate to have an #infinite #scroll https://www.nngroup.com/articles/infinit.. Notably, #amazon does not, and it makes #navigation actually quite #difficult .

Looks like #amazon , the #owner of #imdb , is #blocking and #deleting #negative #reviews of their new #lordoftherings #tv #series the #theringsofpower https://old.reddit.com/r/lotr/comments/x.. #amazon acting badly? Say it isn't so! #imdb have #caught quite a few times now messing with #reviews on their site.

The #unitedarabemirates have successfully #pressured #amazon into reducing the #promotion and #sale of #lgbt items, including #books and #flags https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2..

Great to see a #software based #amazon #kindle #jailbreak - which should give these old #eink #devices even more life! https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showth..

Interesting, apparently the #us #government send in the #fbi to #seize #assets on behalf of #amazon , and then expect the same people to somehow #pay their own #legal #fees to #defend themselves: https://medium.com/@amy_riveter/the-unit.. As a #hackernews #comment points out, it's a complex case too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=303.. Awful for the #family ...

#amazon #aws is down, and has caused their #delivery #app to go down: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/busine.. This has meant tonnes of #deliveries have been piling up #undelivered - with #drivers told simply to go home.

Wow, apparently even #amazon are now annoyed at #visa 's #processing #fees #charged to #uk #customers https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-.. It is literally #extortion - there is zero excuse for it. They will be the #death of themselves at this rate.

#amazon 's new #astro #home #robot is cool, if a little #underwhelming https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-5872.. As #aardvark point out, this could be paving the way for more #competent #robots in the future: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0930.s.. I really suspect that #robot #dogs will be the next step in getting #robotics into the #home - a #personal robot for #entertainment ... I think the target price will be $1k-$5k...

Interesting, #amazon 's #aws is setting up a #region in #nz ! https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-.. I'm very interested to see what this means - I suspect there will be a bloody good reason for this.

It'll cost about $150 for #amazon 's new #paperwhite #eink #display https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/21/22684.. The only thing I wish is that it is #opensource - but that of course is completely against Amazon's goal of controlling the #software and #hardware stack to prevent #bypass of their #store ...

I've also seen this #bullshit on #websites like #amazon where they #offer a #giftcard in #exchange for a good #review https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22680.. Drinking a whole lot of #copium - #china 's #scmp #reports the 3k closed #chinese did not affect their #business - meaning it actually did: https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/artic..

Well damn, a pretty smart #exploit for #kindle #touch devices just by opening up a #ebook https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/i-c.. For all you know, books have contained this on the #amazon #store for quite some time... Writing #secure #software is insanely tough!

This number must surely be inflated, apparently #amazon #employ 1 in every 153 #us workers: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/amazo.. That surely cannot be real? That's insanely high employment rates, but certainly would explain how ridiculously #rich #bezos is.

Ouch, I never thought I would be using my original #amazon #kindle long enough to realise that a wanted feature (at the time of purchase) would actually be one I actively tried to avoid: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22598.. Luckily mine only runs on #wifi and surprisingly still receives #software #updates even today!
