I generally have already decided what to purchase before I load Amazon's website. I also rarely purchase cheap white label products, and so Amazon's reviews are mostly irrelevant to me. I've rarely needed to return items too and recently they were all my fault anyway, eg, not quite the dimensions I thought I needed.
I've never heard of anyone use a shop's reviews to decide what product to purchase, so you're literally the first to me.
If I want a product that I have no idea about then I'll go to forums, YouTube channels, etc about that type of thing and see what they say about it all. They'll be people who've done product reviews and comparisons. And so they're the people with the knowledge and their the people that care.
So in your example of wanting a guitar pedal I'd be visiting music and electric guitar places on the internet to gather knowledge on the product range.
Once I hit the online store, I've already decided what I want to purchase. And so the store reviews are more about the seller themselves and whether the product is genuine/fake, or a good/bad version of the white label item.
Fakespot has always felt inaccurate to me. Once every 6 months or so I gave it a go to see if any of the updates have improved it but it never felt like it did to me.
Furthermore, I don't see the point in Fakespot since Amazon bends over backwards to accept returns for any reason.
Usenet requires an indexer and a provider. An indexer indexes content. A provider is a server that hosts the content. Content is split into 1MB chunks.
The manual way. You look for content you want on the website of the indexer and download the nzb file. You download the nzb file, which a list of the 1MB chunks and put it in your usenet download software. The downloader then downloads it.
The automated way. There is a software suite called *arr. It's not exclusive to Usenet; you can also use it with torrents. You search for the content you're interested in and the software does the rest.
The only issue with projects like LineageOS is that the camera usually sucks because the full fat camera driver isn't released to the public, it's only the basic driver. The camera can still take photos but all of the features you've become accustomed to are not there. This was my experience and what the LineageOS team said during the Samsung S5-S8 days.
I pulled some data off some old Samsung 1TB SSDs that werent powered for 3-4 years without an issue either. I guess they were SLC based on what others are saying.
I guess it's a your mileage may vary situation depending on the exact drive you purchase and probably other factors too.
Let's not forget anyone can fly light weight quadcopters and planes with cameras on them within the boundaries of private property. Most aviation authorities around the world are in control of air space, and that air space in most countries starts a micron above the ground. And therefore it's perfectly legal for anyone to fly something within the boundaries of your property. Now you could get into trouble for being a peeping Tom, aggravation, etc depending on the circumstance. But nothing can be done if someone was to do a quick fly over.
In my opinion blurring out street view only protects you against the 'script kiddies' of the stalking/spying world.
One thing about blurring in street view. Once it's done, it cannot be undone. So I'd have consideration for others before going ahead with making a request.
It could be reasonably innocent. Eg. A student doing a study Lemmy and wants to see where the user base is roughly located. Since Lemmy has many privacy focused people on the platform, I doubt they would get many responses on a survey.
It's wrong to label a Tesla or any of its software as 'full self driving'.
Quite clearly Mark demonstrated that the safety systems are engaged in what ever mode he had it in; otherwise the vehicle would never stop for the obstacle in front of it.
Search for trash guides and servarr. Both have websites that are detailed in how to set up all of the arrs apps in what ever fashion you want. I think both have Discord servers too.
To me it seems the title is misleading as the research is very narrowly scoped. They provided news excerts to the LLMs and asked for the title, the author, the publication date, and the URL. Is this something people do? I would be interested if they used some real world examples.
The internet is not always available for at least some people.
