Does anyone even bother with Xitter anymore? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |
Still can’t believe people buy Teslas. Shite cars with an iPad. They are truly horrible,ubiquitous and cheap. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-15-06 |

Hi folks, any app or website where I can watch movies and series for free in Spanish (from Spain)? The more pirated they are and the more content they have from paid streaming platforms for free, the better. Thanks! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

I’m highly dubious it is even paying for itself… large corporations often do dumb shit at loss due to some idiotic hockey stick projections and fear of missing out on the next big thing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Ngl I've been loving the AI answers. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Are AI searches faster than conventional search? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |

It just baffles me that people in a technology forum just constantly claim that no one wants AI tools. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
You're making a false equivalence here, AI is a useful tool but some of its implementation is not superior to what we already have in place. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
This is basically an anti-tech subreddit. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
This is a different task and revenue stream. What happens when a web search engine who makes its money on click throughs answers questions that removes the need to click through?
AI applied to search engines are going to eat at googles ad revenue. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Nothing besides total submission satisfies you people, does it? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Google is the only company that has the resources and technical knowledge to catch up to OpenAI. Will search change? Yes. Google doing this is literally their first step at getting out ahead of this. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
> they'll all be running carbon neutral pretty soon.
what technology is going to make datacenters green? Nuclear micro reactors that don't exist yet, which use fuel that has no production capacity anywhere outside of Russia and is also highly problematic from a nuclear proliferation perspective?
It's an interesting technology for sure, but don't expect them to be available at scale within the next 10 to 15 years. The exponential growth will be dirty as fuck for the foreseeable future, and cirkljerking techbros won't change that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Theyll compensate, for now. Like everyone else. Ofcourse they dont have some secret tech for it, at least not to the tune of nuclear fission or something.
I said neutral, not green. Neutral is pretty good to me. It certainly is better than what I personally manage and it certianly is a lot better than most companies out there. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
Thank you, this is exactly what I've been saying.
No one asked for this shit. No on wanted this shit. LLMs following the advent of ChatGPT have been trying to solve a problem that no one had. Google's AI search is UNIVERSALLY hated. And now we find out that this stuff isn't just mindless fun/ dicking around at no cost; it takes ASTRONOMICAL amounts of power to run all these models, to generate all this text and images.
Tf are we doing here? Stop pushing this shit, it's literally the biggest waste of resources. I wish governments would regulate corporate-utilized AI into the ground. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-12-06 |
The argument that some people are lazy, so it shouldn't exist for anyone just isn't a very compelling argument against AI. Again, people misusing a tool isn't necessarily a problem with the tool itself. People being lazy will catch up to them eventually. Meanwhile, the people who use the tools correctly and actually build knowledge will rocket ahead of them.
>I'm not "fervently against AI", I'm against completely wild west ass AI with zero oversight, intellectual property being stolen to train these things, and companies continually harvesting our data to feed it. It's insane
Pretty much all creative knowledge/ability comes from learning from other sources. And how many artists create and/or make money off of intellectual property? It's massive.
And if you think data has just now started being harvested because of AI...LOL. I don't know what to tell you bud. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Costco for electronics. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Granted just browsing in stores is a dying practice IMO

What physical media are you still buying..? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Tried buying a TV in person there last year. Spent an hour in the store, knowing which one we wanted, talked to 3 different employees that said they would send someone over to help until I finally waited in line at checkout to be told that you have to order them online and then do pickup. I plan on never returning. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I'm 40. Been going to Microcenter since my late teens. Only been building PCs for the last 15 yrs. And nearly every component I've bought, I can get cheaper at Microcenter than almost everywhere else. The volume they sell makes nearly everything they carry cheaper than most other stores. Other than the recent chip shortages that pushed RAM and GPU prices through the roof for the last 5 or so yrs, Microcenter is almost always cheaper than any other seller for most electronics/PC parts. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
No. This statement makes no sense. Micro center has never had 3 dozen stores. Best Buy has over 1000. They are not the same business model. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Best Buy doesn't offer anything unique. So it's competing with Target, Walmart Amazon, and Costco. As a geek, I can't find niche stuff. As a consumer, they are overpriced. I have no reason to go there. Every time I have been in one for the last 10 years, I walk out wondering why I went in there in the first place. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Anyone that's ever bought an hdmi cable there knows. I usually would check out stuff in best but just to see it and then buy the same exact thing somewhere else for cheaper.
I spent a fuck ton of money on 1 basic ass hdmi cable because I just installed my home theater and couldn't wait for something to ship and only best buy was open | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Who’s gets to gobble up that conglomerate next? Walmart inc? Amazon corp? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Every time I’ve used them in the past 8 years or so has been a Nightmare. I will not miss them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I stopped going there after a few trips of the staff saying “we can order that for you”. I could have done the same from my house. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Costco usually has extra included warranty and has a super generous return policy. Their prices are usually better too, and they have tons of stock most of the time.
Why *wouldnt* you buy your next tv at Costco? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Final nail in the coffin was the total tech program which gave away their labor. You know, the thing that differentiated them from the competition. Then when they lost their ass on that, they laid off those skilled workers and discontinued that plan anyway. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
There’s just little reason for me to go now that they removed physical movies. Way to go, Best Buy. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Lmao. Doesn’t even exist and you’re already full slippery slope.
“What next, marry crocodiles?!”
Smfh. How about simply exist because it may be a solvent business. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I think there is a big difference. I used to live near microcenter and tons of enthusiasts came in. Completely different inventory. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
The problem isn’t them combining to survive. It’s that after enough combinations, you will only have a handful of companies to buy from and then they can charge whatever they want and there will be nothing to do about it. Competition is what keeps prices low. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
The fact you didn't know that shows partly why they're not doing so hot and why it was likely the right choice to make... | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Best buy needs to pivot. It's stores are too big, it's customer base is shrinking, and its online business is in shambles.
They're better off exploring a merger with Newegg or gamestop to utilize their distribution centers for their online business while drastically reducing their HUGE store footprint. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
They didn’t get rid of physical media just to spite you. They got rid of it because no one was buying it.
I feel the same, I still buy a lot of physical media. But if no one else around me does then what’s the point of selling it?
If it was working, and if it was as much of a draw as people on Reddit keep saying it is, they wouldn’t have gotten rid of it. The reality is regular people don’t buy nearly as much physical media anymore. It is what it is | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Exactly! BB has infinitely more resources, it really shouldn't be failing so hard in comparison. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
If they die, there won’t be any of that competition……. That’s easy to see. Becoming solvent is stronger competition. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Best Buy offered same day deliver on items locally and tbh, for me that’s the edge. Appliances I almost always end up buying thought Best Buy vs the other box stores. Always have a schedule open and cheaper | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
BB stores can go straight to the garbage can. Customer service is the worst, and that is literally the one thing a store should be "best" at.
Never shopping there again. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I'd rather shop in physical stores but when I do so I'm usually reminded why I keep going back to Amazon. Other retailers might have their issues but Best Buy's especially bad. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
It’s so frustrating going into a store and dealing with teenagers who don’t know anything or just don’t care it’s long overdue for them | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I really like Best Buy. I usually walk most of the floor. I’ve gotten most of my appliances with them for the last five years. Pretty good financing options. I hope they stick around. Amazon and bulk retailers online suck. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I just see them ending up like Circuit City eventually. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I always give a try to best buy first. One of 2 things usually happen:
1. They don't have it in stock and refer me to their horrible website
2. They have it but it's *way* overpriced. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Trust me, you don’t want them scaling too fast. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Exactly. Microcenter is a destination and also runs in store only deals and specials. Ive driven 2 hours to my closest one before. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I bet Best Buy is gonna me the next meme stock | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I stopped shopping there when they removed physical media and hammered with subscription models | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I used to love Babbages and even BestBuy. I would just go hangout at Bestbuy after classes in college before going home. Now I live about 3 miles from that store and I've only gone there twice in 10 years I can remember. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
God I wish they would open one near me, even just in the state would be good. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Yes they were. You should see the piece NexusGamers did on them. It was great. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Agreed 100000%. Best Buy is their own worst enemy. They pay piss poor wages and actively look to fleece as much as they can from unaware consumers (hydrogen filled hdmi cables really?? Have a terrible selection, and when asked about ordering to store for pick up, " Why don't you just deliver it at home?"
What incentive is there for folks to go to the pshycial store when technical support or advice is next to none or outright wrong, upselling is con artistry by manage direction and they manage to have nothing in stock but it may be in the next store 20 miles away. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Ugh, everything but TVs, computers, cell and appliances have just about shrunk down to nothing at my store. It's sad. Now that movies and video games are just about gone, it's not a very interesting place to just stroll through anymore for me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That tracks. I remember hearing about that ~5-6 years ago I think. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That is every retail store, due to lack of pay. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I’d rather just go to the original place with lower prices than deal with the hassle of trying to get them to match prices. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
The only place I see that is ever busy is the phone area. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Ah, the Sears model. Rolling out tablets for employees but with no real end game for them. If you're going to roll out that shit, at least give the employees a juiced up app to search things.
My last experience was about 2 years ago. Person standing at entrance/exit as security
1 person in the massive phones section
1 register and customer service floater
A couple employees with tablets just kind of wandering and randomly asking people if they needed help (none did)
I really feel bad for the employees. They're doing their best, but they're the last vestiges in a soon to be ghost town. I avoided PC internal hardware there, GPUs, RAM, HDD, etc, but they were usually good for case fans, software, CDs, DVDs, and most other things.
They also weren't half bad at stereo install before I finally got down how to do it on my own. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
The one thing I’ll say about Best Buy is sometimes their open box deals are amazing, especially for home audio. No one seems to know/care that they sell higher end audio equipment and you can get beautiful stuff for a literal fraction of the MSRP. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
People can't buy toys when groceries costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I went there to get a simple cable one time and gave up, deciding to wait until I could go to MicroCenter who has an entire AISLE of cables and cords | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
But is anyone surprise.
There's NEVER any deals . You go to Best Buy as a last minute buy, and over pay.
Use to love Best Buy, tech shopping was and still is my favorite but the quality and pricing will always deter me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Even worse, Walmart somehow manages to actually have a better selection on most things in their electronics department.
For example, I can pick up reasonably priced M.2 SSDs at Walmart from WD or PNY. I can get a variety of smart lights. Speaker wire, a Micro SD card reader, fast-charge USB hub, mechanical keyboard, and 3440x1440 LG monitor. *At Walmart* with a better price and better return policy.
And, as if it wasn't bad enough for Best Buy, the last couple of times I've gone to Walmart, the employees in the electronics department were actually helpful, knew what I was looking for, and where to find it. I can't say as much the last time I went to Best Buy.
If you're supposed to be an electronics store, and Walmart is kicking your rear, you're doing something wrong. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
"The layoffs appeared to have mostly targeted in-home sales roles called designers, who would go to customers’ homes to help identify products that would work in their space. "
lmao WHAT? yeah some random best buy guy, come to my house and tell me what appliances to get. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Haven’t been to Best Buy since they got rid of Blu-Rays and DVDs. Was pretty much the only thing that got my ass into the store. Usually bought a few other things too while shopping for movies.
Feel terrible for the employees affected by the shitty choices made by the people running the company | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
apparently it's still alive, so clearly built better lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I remember the days of walking the aisles looking at all the CDs and not buying any because the last time I bought a few CDs from bands I had never heard of, or only heard 1 song on the radio, the whole CD sucked except for 1 or 2 songs. No way was I taking a $15 gamble with every CD. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
As best buys close I see a lot of Canada computers coming in (I'm in canada). The difference is noticeable. Somehow they have way more selection than best buy but in a smaller store. Pre-built computers and tvs sure, but also tons of individual computer components and accessories. Pc cases, different motherboards, lighting, a million different keyboards and peripherals, tons of audio equipment. It's just a way better experience. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
The people running sears towards the end were installed to kill the company without making it too obvious to sell off valuable real estate. I imagine best buy is going to have the same fate. The first time best buy was supposed to go under they out survived other retail and were able to burn the short sellers in part because they had a competent CEO not working for the short sellers. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Good riddance! I stopped ordering there when they changed their website to show third-party sellers over their own products.
If you're going to make me physically check off a bunch of boxes just so I can see Best Buy products, which should be the default, then I'd rather just use Amazon. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
4k BluRay beats the picture and audio quality on streaming by a big margin. Takes up way too much hard drive space and network bandwidth to pirate. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I have not bought from a Best Buy since 2020. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Fun fact: I was a Best Buy Elite Plus for 4 years in a row, meaning I spent $3500 a year there. I did all my electronics spending there as they would always price match from any major provider including Amazon. They treated me like I was valued. When they cut elite status with like one month notice, the amount of money I have spent with them since has been ZERO.
Instead of getting rid of the program fully, All they had to do was cut costly benefits like free 2 day shipping but leave others intact and they still would have my business. No doubt this action alienated other big spenders too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Used to go for music, blu rays and computer parts. Now half the store is phone shit and The Sharper Image crap. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Also the dollar store is fresher. Those candies at BestBuy have been there forever. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
hmm, I have found Best Buy will match any competitors prices including amazons on items they sell. So if you know someone is advertising it cheaper they will sell you the item for the same price. I have never had issue getting the best price possible purchasing from BestBuy. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
People are struggling to afford food right now. Is it any surprise that they're not out looking for non-necessities like new TVs? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
They match pricing so I dont know why the price is your driver | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Best Buy is one of those companies where I’m amazed they even still exist. Same with Staples.
It’s only a matter of time before they go the way of Circuit City. And with the advent of AI and AI based troubleshooting, their lucrative Geek Squad services will be struggling. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I think it’s been near 10 years since I have been in a Best Buy. They used to be my go-to. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
As someone that just recently bought a new camera, their display security is now the most infuriating thing about the stores for me. The cameras all worked (at least the Sonys did), but god forbid I wanted to turn them around to see what the menu setup is like, let alone pick them up to feel the grip or take a few pictures with it and the various lenses attached to the display cameras (a few of which I was considering). If they moved more than a few degrees in any direction the loudest, most high-pitched alarm I’ve ever heard went off. Of course it took 5 minutes for anyone to come over and turn it off, and they can’t remove them for you to actually try out. After setting the damn alarm off 3 times I gave up in embarrassed frustration and left the store.
I do still prefer to buy most things in person, and I will never trust Amazon with a serious electronics purchase under their current system, so I need Best Buy to hang on unless a Microcenter actually opens in my area. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Most OLED tvs have protections for burn in these days. There’s pixel refresh and they shift pixels that remain the same color for long durations. The technology has come a long way since its inception | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Great place to buy a toaster
Shite if you need a computer | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
if you have to take the time to go to the amazon page to get a good price anyway, it's not really a winning offer to just match that price, since that effort would also let you just order it off amazon in like 2 more clicks.
might win sales from people who can't wait a day or two, but pretty much any big ticket items on amazon in big metro areas come with free same-day or overnight now.
so best buy would need to match and further discount amazon's price to be worth it. and if best buy went down that road, amazon could easily sabotage them by selling at a loss and bleeding capital until best buy's position is even worse. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Every Best Buy I visit has no physical media any longer, overpriced appliances/cables/accessories that are half the price online, the staff is completely untrained in the products, and there’s not enough people working
I walk In While waiting for food next door , if I see something I want I go online and find it cheaper, then walk out having enjoyed the air conditioning
Back in the day I had a Best Buy credit card that stayed ma ex/paid off/ rinse repeat. Now it’s cancelled from inactivity lol
Best Buy is garbage. It’s amazing how tens of thousands of customers if not more can make the same complaints and the c-suite doesn’t care | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
what's the point of taking a price match from best buy when i could just get it for the same price from the company already offering it? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
That’s what you get for getting rid of physical media. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
Only reason I shop at Best Buy is their 0% interest big ticket items and if I buy a big ticket item, I can pick it up at the store without worrying someone will take it from my yard. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
I used to work for these guys and I’m not terribly sad about them going away. Always sad about job losses, though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-11-06 |
