The “Ge” stands for Geheime.
That means secret or covert.They are not very covert.
- Comment on Jeans Vendor, what is my size? 1 week ago:
What I find very weird tbh.
When I buy pants, there are essentially two measurements:
In-seam length and waist circumference (and usually the manufacturer shows where to measure it in a picture).So far I had no issues shopping by pre-measuring before doing the online shopping.
- Comment on Jeans Vendor, what is my size? 1 week ago:
My usual strategy:
Go into the store, try it on, note the sizes of the company you want to buy from, buy wherever you want to (if you can, support your local company and not Amazon or adjacent) - Comment on Did anyone else skip Rayman 1 as a Kid? 1 week ago:

More like 3 years until the market demand is satisfied and the prices can normalize.

The fact that a kid, that can’t read, is able to order online by itself is the issue. Not that the kid was able to order something but wasnt supposed to do.

- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
MediaMarkt and Saturn (our largest electronics retailers) first merged then were bought up by JD.com (chinese retailer)
Any other shop is a small chain/one-man-army type of shop which usually don’t have what I need :/Recently discovered a decent camera shop by coincidence while traveling :) That was cool.
They are both physical and online. And they werent pushy about their products. Which is great! - Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
May be.
Didnt know wages became affordable as well.This aint the US where you don’t pay for the social safety net :)
Also I’m not into sweatshop products if it can be avoided. - Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
Like what? 2x the price for worse hardware?
Feels like the only alternative for reasonable priced stuff is AliExpress (in regards to electronics) - Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
Exactly my philosophy.
I try to buy in this order (time and money is of no concern):
Local shops -> domestic Online shops -> AliExpress (electronics) or Amazon (branded electronics like storage) -> Amazon (anything else).If it aint available for a decent price and I don’t need it, I won’t buy it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
If it holds up longer, start by divind it by each year you use it daily for.
Once break even, determine if it’s still too expensive .
Buy cheap, buy twice.
Buy decent, buy once (for longer time). - Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
Difference is the quality.
The listed item may break after 10 months or is not comfortable.
Meanwhipe this holds up for >5 years and feels very good.You pay for actual wages, quality assurance and not being subject to cancerous dyes they use over there without preparing them.
I will never buy anything plastic on Amazon or AliExpress that will enter my body.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
I have a few local electronic shops.
It’s just that they dont have what I need or are way more expensive.It is almost impossible to buy RAM or a CPU in person outside of specialty shops.
SSDs or HDDs are only available in low capacity (<2TB) and/or low spec (M.2 Gen3).Nothing of use for an enthusiast.
The only worth they have to me are as a appliance seller (e.g. TVs, household appliance, general use audio equipment) - Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 2 months ago:
More expensive AliExpress…
It feels like Amazon is flooded with dropshipping beyond repair. - Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 2 months ago:

- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 months ago:
I could see myself running a MacMini M anything.
But my issues with Apple:
- I don’t like their philosophy in hardware
- I don’t like needing to bow to their design/handling of any setting (e.g. accepting that the color of a menu can only be X but not Y)
- The hardware can never be upgraded.
At work I would only mildly care. But home pc? Nope.
