Yes, they used to, and still do, do next day delivery depending on the item and where you live. It is certainly not the norm. That forum post is also not the evidence you think it is.
Regardless, you said when Amazon started it was next day delivery. That is simply not true. Perhaps you were talking about when Amazon was first available in your area it had next day deliver, which would be fair, but it's not when it started.
Again, idk what you're talking about. You keep saying people are "sleeping" on these other companies. That generally means you think something is underappreciated, and you want them to get the credit they deserve. I don't think that's what you're saying here though, it seems like you're saying we aren't giving them enough negative attention.
I already said we don't like other mega-corps, and literally specified Walmart. This post simply is about Amazon. Otherwise, I would've posted this article instead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Walmart
I see, I misunderstood your comment saying "I guess the experience of Ebay in the US is completely different from the experience of Ebay outside the US." was you saying your experience is from within the US. You didn't specify which one was your experience, nor did the person you replied to. I was thinking your experience was from within the US, and theirs was from outside the US.
My experience with eBay in the US is also, more often than not, with free shipping. I'm not sure what items you're looking at but there are tons of options with free shipping
Walmart is, unfortunately, not better.
Idk, Aliexpress has plenty of the nonsensical names still. At least on the product listing, often the name isn't bothered to be put on the product itself. However, for American's Trump is wanting to handicap the de minimis for China.
Idk what you're talking about, honestly. But I don't think anyone here is advocating you go from Amazon to another mega corp like Walmart or Target. But as far as problems with Amazon, take your pick: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Amazon
What are you talking about? Amazon started as an online book store in 1994. They were not doing next day delivery, that's for sure. Amazon had a big push for "Prime 2 day delivery" for a long time, but from my anecdotal experience it's more than often longer than two days. Sometimes they offer one or two day shipping, but it's not the norm.
And if anyone magically finds them, they'll dismiss it as a crazy conspiracy
Microsoft isn't mentioned in the text, but the 3rd citation is a reference to Microsoft: Microsoft to Launch Much Awaited Cloud Server Farm in Israel in 2021
Separately, I did a quick search: Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
In recent years, documents show, Microsoft has also provided the Israeli military with large-scale access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model – the engine behind ChatGPT – thanks to a partnership with the developer of the AI tools which recently changed its policies against working with military and intelligence clients.
Of course they're not sure. This is an internet forum. The account being gone must mean it was deleted. Honestly, she was probably getting so much bat shit crazy messages, she deleted it herself. That makes the most sense.
3rd citation is a reference to Micro
I'm curious what you're referencing. I suppose it could infect the drives controlling chips, but a decent drive should be fine. And if you scramble all the bits I don't see how there could be malware left
