It's a good thing that this shitty Asus Chromebook has a 1920x1080 IPS display and it's only slightly more expensive!

You get what you pay for!

My favorite sales are the ones where you have to pay a yearly fee to gain access to them. Especially when the unlocked sale prices are still 80% higher than they should be.

>>105841637
Cute. Did you get an LLM to generate that memespew of buzzwords and faggotry?

I got some HDD storage at a decent price after years of waiting for them to drop so I'm good
HDDs at good prices are hard to find in UK

I picked up a Samsung 9100 2 TB for $188 (normally $300, but bad value over $250) with a Thermalright H10 Pro for $9 (normally $13). I'm happy with ~$65 savings, even though people will whine that it's a lot less than the $125 Amazon claims I'm saving.

Nothing, because FUCK America, and FUCK American corporations!

I'm going to assume this isn't a great tv, but I still want to ask if it's worth it since I want a 4k tv but don't wanna break the bank either.

How much to date Levi (woman)? that what I assume 501 means in zoomer, it means date.

Nuttin cause I don't need nuttin. I don't understand this philosophy. My boss was telling me how he got a coffee maker with points on his credit card. I asked if he uses it, he has not opened it. I'd be grateful if the sale was happening when I needed something, but finding an excuse to spend money seems odd to me. If it's to replace something, usually I do that when the thing breaks or is literally run into the ground.

Also literally this. Amazon would be awesome if it was only brand name items with good discounts but the top items are flooded with garbage AliExpress item migrants with a double markup. Same phone case on AliExpress for $3 is $10.99 on Amazon. If you want something semi specific that isn't covered by a massive brand name (i.e. OXO cooking utensils, usually the Chinese brands are pushed down the list) it's almost all Chinese brand. Screwdriver set? Wera, Klein Tools? Nah. Here's your TOPXSTAR 10pc Screwdriver Set Great Quality 100% Customer Approved. Then the real brands don't even sell on Amazon and you have to buy it from them for a higher price and expensive shipping.

>>105842426
no, because it's the biggest sale that happens in America, except for real bf, because Amazon sells more than anyone except walmart (and walmart only does bf)

make sure you get adequate cooling for that samshit drive, its fucking fast so long as it stays cool, got one in my desktop as a boot disk and seeing sustained 14GB/s seq read/write

>>105842546
If 2 heatpipes and a fan aren't enough I'd hate to see how bad the old Phison E26 drives are.

Remember to consume 400% more e-waste as usual. When it breaks throw it in a blender to increase the amount of microplastics in the environment and just dump them in rivers. But you can put batteries directly into the ocean.

>>105842766
this but unironically

Got a Samsung 990 pro of 4tb for 183, now the catch is that it is used "as new", we'll see when it arrives

sort of considering the s25 ultra (512gb for $1069) but my 4-year-old xperia technically still works okay so idk

>>105842847
I bought an IBM-branded Optane drive listed as used on Ebay and it came with the original numbers-matching packaging and 0 hours shown on SMART. You can never hit the jackpot if you never spin the wheel.

Got an iPhone 12. It isn't even on sale.

I got a genius noco battery charger, last time it was around that price was last november

No

these deals suck ass

>>105844068
Also they raised prices right before Prime to make it look like you get a bigger discount. Always check camelcamel to see the price history.

>>105844068
>>105844159
I use camelcamelcamel to see through their "tricks". Also, alot of the items on sale are cheaper at sams club or costco. Sad!

>>105844208
Was looking at this cheap generator that apparently is pretty good. Before Prime $300 Ali, $330 Walmart, $360 Amazon. After Prime, $390 Amazon.

>>105844231
Oh, back to $300 at Walmart, tempting.

Can someone recommend a chair under $300 that isn't total dogshit?

>>105844495
it very frequently goes on sale for around $300 (but is not right now)

1) wtf kind of ungodly design for a vacuum cleaner is this?
2) why has nobody invented AI robopisspots, that sense your need and appear (or await your whistle) then go and empty themselves?

There is quite literally nothing to buy.
Literally anything I would want doesn't get a discount anyway.

Am I this disconnected from the normie consumerism virus? For just autistic?

>>105849520
I could use ops graphic as a bingo card, already have a disgusting amount of the shit on it, or some variation thereof. I even have that fucking steam cleaner thing, bought it to take vinyl off a van and now it lives in the unloved shitpile with the rest. We have reached peak crap, @Prime Price or otherwise.

>>105841441 (OP)
i bought a 265k for $260. probably too much.
there are good combos elsewhere but didn't include any of the components i needed :(

There are no good deals and now my news feed is stuffed with articles telling me what to buy so they can get affiliate link cash. I hate it. I hate that my "tech news" section is just a bunch of amazon ads. That's not fucking news.

I bought the same rice and coffee that I always buy

Are portable air conditioners worth it?

>>105849590
I'm just not interested in 90% of it
I have a phone, I don't need an echo which is just a phone that's immovable and plugged into the wall
I don't need a botnet camera
I have a Boox, kindle is Garbo
Tablets are just a bigger phone
My skin needs are served with a giant cheap tub of shea.
All of it is just ehh, why is this necessary?

It's not like I don't spend money, but the idea of spending money on corporate spy devices or commodity bullshit has become so insanely unappealing. I'm not even a freetard or a neet

These deals are ass and even the discounted price sucks.

>>105850622
If you can't install or use a window unit for whatever reason, yes. Minishit salesmen will claim otherwise, but in-room units do just fine.

>>105842519
This is why I stopped using amazon, why should I use it if I can’t actually get the things I want and instead I’m inundated with nothing but non-brand low tier products?
If I’m looking for generic USB adapters or whatever simple, borderline disposable products, im looking at aliexpress already because it’s 10 times cheaper and they won’t send me a used/returned item sold as new.
For most of my hobbies if I need to buy something I end up at a speciality website anyway, computer stuff is from Newegg, bike stuff is from jensonUSA, tools are me physically driving to a harbor freight store.

we're in a recession, the government just hasn't admitted it yet.

>>105841441 (OP)
nothing
stuff is either barely any cheaper, or the price was increased 1 week before the sale began as always
it's been like this for at least 5 years, there are pretty much no good deals with these retarded sales anymore, plus the chance of something you actually need getting discounted is insanely small in the first place
it's all jewish marketing, stop falling for this shit, do you need it? buy it
you don't need it? don't buy it
"i must buy this product I didn't originally plan to buy because it's much cheaper than usual" is brainlet consumer mentality

Why the fuck won’t Nvidia Shield Pro ever go on sale?

>>105850622
no.
I'll recap it for you:
-very loud, way louder than a proper air conditioner (the compressor is indoors duh)
-very inefficient (the machine is throwing 500+ watts of heat in the same room it's trying to cool, plus you won't ever get a proper seal and the hot air from outside will attempt to go back inside even through the smallest gaps because of convection, which brings us to the next point
-more expensive in the long run.
if you only need it for a few days every year, and you cannot install a proper air conditioner for whatever reason then it might make sense but if you can install a regular air conditioner, there's rarely a reason to bother with these things.

>I live in a 70 year old house with no vent system
you can still get a regular split air conditioner, I live in europe and nobody here has or even knows what a vent system is.

I bought stuff I was going to buy anyway but waited a couple days to see if Prime Day put them on sale. Only tech item was a monitor lamp.

Window ones are better, (and mini splits are way better) I had one of the indoor ones for a long time, it worked pretty well in a small room, but I kind of hated it.
