As a buyer, I do this to annoy scalpers. Keep sending them offers far below what they’re asking. The more time they spend dealing with me, the less time they can spend scamming people.

dan@upvote.auto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English1·7 hours agoDoes Thread support pairing two or more devices so they can control each other directly without going through the coordinator? I do that a bit with my Zigbee network.
dan@upvote.auto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English1·7 hours agoYou can flash the SLZB-06 to use Matter over Thread too. I like those because they use Ethernet and can be powered via PoE, so you can put them practically anywhere you can reach using an Ethernet cable.

dan@upvote.auto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered.English1·22 days agoThe standard window for a chargeback with both Visa and MasterCard is 120 days. Don’t let the retailers bully you into thinking otherwise.
Usually just threatening to do a chargeback, without actually doing it, is sufficient to get them to comply. Every chargeback costs the company money (usually around $10 to $50 depending on the bank) and time (dealing with the bank, collecting evidence, etc) even if they win the dispute, so they try to resolve issues without the customer involving the bank.
List it on a Buy Nothing group in your area? I give away a lot of stuff that way.
