Cliff<p>Several weeks ago I pre-ordered a 1TB NVMe drive from NewEgg as it was on sale for $40 instead of the regular price of $80. It finally shipped out yesterday, so I'm waiting for it to arrive. </p><p>This morning, I get this email from the company that makes the NVMe drive.</p><p>Dear Customer,</p><p>We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your trust and support. To show our appreciation, we have upgraded your NVMe order from 1TB to 2TB for free!</p><p>Shocked to see this as it just doesn't happen much in todays world like it once used to.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NVMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NVMe</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Drive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drive</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NewEgg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewEgg</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Orico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Orico</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hardware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSD</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PCIe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCIe</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>I bought some hard drives from <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Newegg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newegg</span></a> yesterday and once again fell into the trap of forgetting to uncheck the subscribe checkbox they check by default and starting to get <a href="https://federate.social/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spam</span></a> from them within minutes of checking out.<br>No more!

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Ok so... This is an "interesting" flipping scam. (As if I didn't have enough to worry about.)</p><p>I ordered an emergency radio from NewEgg because I am trying so hard to avoid Amazon.</p><p>It arrived today. From Amazon. As a "gift." (The product box inside was smashed, and there's a rattle, so I suspect the radio is broken even.)</p><p>The price of the radio on Amazon is $32.</p><p>I paid $59 to NewEgg.</p><p>I can return it to Amazon for an Amazon gift card. For $32.</p><p>I guess now I have a new thing to do today, which is to figure out if I can report this to NewEgg, get a refund, and get this seller pwned. NewEgg Seller = Orange Techno Store. I have no reason to believe they have any relation to the Amazon seller.</p><p>Then I have to find a different radio.</p><p>Effing A.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scams</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/NewEgg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewEgg</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BuyerBeWare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuyerBeWare</span></a></p>
Kenneth<p>Got a replacement power cord for my previous router (I'd tossed a LOT of stuff) thinking that I could split Mother's ethernet cable from there, but it was not to be NewEgg has Ethernet splitters on offer, none of which are reviewed. So-ooo... Do I have a really long blue one lying around somewhere or nah? Do I really need two, or three, or four comptuers chugging away at all times? </p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/NewEgg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewEgg</span></a> <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Computers</span></a></p>

Kenneth<p>TIL that some computer monitor specs on <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/newegg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>newegg</span></a> don't include wattage. Deleted from my Wishlist forthwith.</p>
Kenneth<p>Surprised that some hardware I'd put on my <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/NewEgg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewEgg</span></a> Wishlist had been ordered Friday June 2023. Vaguely recalled that it hadn't worked, so I binned it. Shall hie to Computer Central and hit some yard sales along the way. Too, this'll cheer me up.</p>
