I use my ISP's default DNS servers and have consistently gotten the CAPTCHA page for weeks now. The CAPTCHA seems to be broken too, rendering archive.today entirely inaccessible.
Anker is very bad at handling country/region redirects correctly. If you're not located in the region the link is pointing at, they'll just redirect you to the home page of whatever region they think you should be looking at.
This is really annoying when trying to find product information because, for example, the Anker Nordics site doesn't have product pages for all the products they sell in Europe, but they won't let you look at product pages from other regions without some VPN shenanigans.
The fundamental problem with deliveries is that you, as the recipient, are not the customer.
The merchant pays for thousands of deliveries, but you on the receiving end are at best getting a handful.
So the courier is incentivised to offer the best rates to the merchant while completely ignoring the requirements or preferences of the recipient.
Your only recourse is to complain to the shop, who might do something if the volume of complaints is high enough, but most likely they’ll just pass the buck to the courier…
I've found that Send to Kindle does a much worse job at converting to MOBI than Calibre, which is a bit ironic but on par with Amazon's overall treatment of non-Kindle books.
It's the same in Finland. There was a big blow up about it a few months ago when someone's Twitter thread[1] about it blew up online and, eventually, in the local media[2].
The drivers are given utterly unrealistic quotas and there's appears to be little incentive for packages to actually get delivered. There's also no way for a consumer to escalate delivery issues to anyone who'd actually be empowered to fix mistakes.
I was pretty surprised to learn that my 2021 OLED TV only has a 10/100 ethernet port. Apparently previous models had USB 3.0 ports so you could workaround it by adding a USB gigabit ethernet adapter but in newer models they've reverted back to USB 2.0 ports, for whatever reason.
Even a $7 AmazonBasics HDMI cable has Ethernet support (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014I8SSD0), not that this really matters since hardly any devices ever supported Ethernet over HDMI.
Also, Ethernet over HDMI is limited to 100 Mbit/s which would make it slower than most modern Wi-Fi networks (leaving aside any possible reliability issues).
