Anybody know what this means?

    “Systematically building electronics laboratory.”

    That’s so much nicer than saying I’m constantly trying and failing at my hobbies as I realize how little I know and how ill prepared I am for my ambitions.

    Yeah I was going to say. My AuDHD has my profile looking like I’m the most interesting person on earth. They don’t know that I’m just always planning to take up hobbies, and not really diving in fully on any of them. Always planning, never doing :(

    I have a friend that is always trying to convince me to join the local makerspace, but they don’t understand that means I would then also have to leave my house and look like an idiot in front of strangers.

    It would probably save me a lot of money, but… Now I own a desktop CNC. It’s still in the box, but I own one!

    "Likely lives in City, State"

    Birch you ship everything I've ever ordered to the same address. Best you can do is "likely"?

    Someone in the meeting was like “Okay, but what if the purchaser is a sugar daddy? Or they are buying goods to a blind shipper to evade export bans?”
    And that’s likely how “Technically correct, but kind of annoying Terry” got his hyper-specific nickname.

    I hope everyone has added this to their file about Jeff Bezos

    Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos also has numerous private dinners with Epstein. They were good friends.

    Ah good. He was in goods with the secret police that's two thousand or so years old that's described in the New Testament at an eighth grade reading level, that is a good thing, and I am glad. For additional clarification, I want to make sure that you have understood that I have called out the farce of the police state that is using my still-living and very real bud Jeff's reputation as a scaffold for thems child hooker things and trafficking and the like, but y'know, we all know how engrossed you are in that nine-figure industry as you are, cardboardboxfort. We see your search history over here in Quantico, or wherever tf you think I am.

    Mine doesn't have anything of a particularly personal nature, just obvious stuff from purchase history like:

    • Likely favors Merrell brand for outdoor footwear (I have purchased the same model of Merrell shoe several times)
    • Hikes frequently (a reasonable guess about someone who repeatedly buys hiking boots)
    • Likely has a ThinkPad laptop (I bought trackpoint caps)
    • Likely owns an Olympus camera (I bought a battery for an Olympus camera)

    Yeah. Mine is really basic as well. It can be summed up as has kids, pets and a car.

    The weirdest thing I see is "frequently repairs small engines"

    I replaced the carb on my lawn mower last year. It's the only part I order from Amazon because I'm lazy and wanted an prebuilt carb. I hardly call that frequent but maybe it's a low bar.

    "Has a cat"

    Mine says “Owns a cat” and “Has a dog”

    Which is wrong because it’s two cats and two dogs, but also I feel they are making value judgments about the pets. Isn’t the trope that you own dogs and have cats?

    The items that I own from them are fine. I don't really buy into all the like... Home improvement side of their business stuff. No vacuums, power you whole house power supplies, speakers, ear buds, etc. I'm probably missing a lot of the picture as far as their brand enshittification is concerned.

    What they don’t tell you on this page is the rest of their inferences based on that: you’re stuck in the renting class still.

    This list of “admissions” is intentionally shitty to mollify people into accepting the data broker dystopia.

    Nah. I don't need to know that when I can make my own inferences about where they got this information from.

    I have a tile bathroom. Hanging stuff in there is a nightmare. I also have used those adhesive strips to mount things to the back of my TV and to my toolbox.

    My brother loses/breaks chargers like it's going out of style so I buy him on every few months.

    The lack of information there is kind of weird given how old the account is. I was expecting a lot of stuff and got basically nil. Granted it's not like I use the account much, but I've had it since college when you could buy used books there.

    Mine is pretty boring. Honestly, I imagine Amazon has a much deeper profile for us hidden away and this is the one they wanted us to find to diffuse our suspicions of being constantly spied on... Seriously, I bet me TV knows more about me than that list.

    I don't think it's that elaborate of a conspiracy. The "deeper" profile "hidden away" is just not in plain English. They probably had to do extra processing to produce the neat human interpretable data. I'm guessing the real purpose of this is getting the humans to look at it and correct the mistakes because a lot of people are dumb enough to do just that.

  • Amazon.de doesn't have this, and I rarely use it anyway, but I took this as an opportunity to request all data they have on me. If you live in certain US stages (e.g. California), or successfully represent you do, you can probably do that too.

    Honestly I wish I didn't. I don't have a google account. Don't have any Meta accounts. Don't have accounts for basically anything I'm not functionally REQUIRED to have (banking for example). But Amazon is hard to avoid. I do a lot of buying in person, but in person shopping is just horrible these days. You need to find something specific and you are screwed. I do try to find other places online to get something when I can but a lot of times I just have to fall back to amazon. Maybe part of it is just the area I'm in though. Tons of the more specialty stores here have closed down. We don't even have an electronics store anymore after Best Buy closed.

    I've had the privilege to live in economically robust (relatively speaking lol) environments, which has helped a lot in my mission to avoid them. I've been able to do it but I've also been lucky. Keep the fire alive, keep searching for alternatives. But damn do I feel for your situation, not even having a basic electronics type store is pretty rough.

    There is always Newegg or B&H.

    I've used Newegg but never heard of B&H what is that? Newegg is good for PC parts but not really for other things. Like RV electronics for example. Altho you can find some of that on other sites too. I do try to diversify when I can and not support the monopoly. One of the main issues I've found is just shipping. Even if you can find something somewhere else sometimes it'll take a month to get there, or it's out of stock, or something like that. Especially more recently. I even had something happen one time where I tried to buy from LattePanda on their site and my bank BLOCKED the transaction and wouldn't let me buy from them directly because they were an "untrusted" vendor lol. But I was allowed to buy the exact same thing 2nd hand from Amazon.

  • You can order all those things online not from amazon, even if you wanna use amazon to find them you can just go to the merchants website and order from them. I quit amazon prime like five years ago, i get not having local options but just order online from the actual retailer.

    I have one collecting dust. I could delete it but it never gets used and they'll profile me anyway. Last purchase was in February 2020. I've always hated amazon because of where I grew up and other reasons, but seeing how warehouse workers were treated during the pandemic was the tipping point for me. Convenience is like a drug, and going cold turkey was pretty fucking hard honestly. But it's become easier over time. I will never give another red fucking cent to Borzo.

    I've never felt any need to have an Amazon account, there you go. Never bought anything for them or even found anything that I wanted to buy from them.

    It helps that they were so late to market in NZ that they still aren't really that commonly used here. There's better local alternatives which cost less

    I do use AWS for work though (but we're gradually shifting off them, there's way cheaper alternatives these days)

    Seems to only work on Amazon.com. My .ca info isnt shared. It says the following though:

    "Make Amazon even more personal to you

    Your other AI assistants have learned about you. Bring that knowledge here for an even more personalized experience."

    I think I'll go chuck my computer and iot devices into a dumpster now.

    What a judgemental slop.

    Favors wired over wireless audio. Browses audio and devices department. Repeatedly replaces budget earbuds rather than upgrading. Strongly prefers budget-tier audio products

    Mine says "Builds Xbox controller collection gradually." I buy my husband a new controller about every 8 months because the sticks start to drift. Maybe it should say Xbox makes shit products.

    Since no one is linking the page and I had to go hunt it down myself: https://www.amazon.com/slc/hub?useAiMode=1

    Mine doesn't have anything interesting, probably because I avoid using Amazon if possible.

    Considering that I haven't purchased anything from Amazon in almost a year (and the few things that I do purchase from there are generally game controllers anyway), Amazon barely knows a thing about me, besides of "Gravitates toward compact, low-cost functional components", "Favors multi-platform and cross-device compatible accessories", and "Plays fighting games with specialized hardware".
