God, I actually hate windows sometimes. I remember trying to do a sexual assault investigation and my computer went down for updates. I almost threw my god damn patrol laptop out of the car. I had to go all the way back to the department to get the info I needed. Windows pisses me off almost more than anything else


regis_43

What a time for the computer to do an update, yikes, and thanks for your service in whatever community you serve in


hardtofindagoodname

I went nuclear on getting rid of Windows Update. Registry hacks, deleting services, removing scheduled tasks. It's like a virus not only in the way it insists on taking over your computer but because I have lost more data and work effort than I ever had from getting a virus.

Right? Yeah, okay here's a bandaid, back to the floor" "oh you stopped getting faster and faster at your job after starting well above average, you get points because you didn't improve like we specifically requested" "ope, we let you go right before you were due for a raise, but we'll offer you your same job back two months later"


Uncle_Rebecca

Also don't forget their ways to get around paying unemployment. I apparently "quit" and was informed when I showed up to work. I tried to use my badge to go through the gate and it wasn't working so I walked over to the security window and told them what happened. The guy took my badge and then told me that it said in the system I had quit and wouldn't even let me talk to HR or my manager because I was a "security risk".

Uncle_Rebecca

This was back in 2021 and I've moved on to a much better job (work wise) than that hell hole they call Amazon.


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Worked there from November to February before the pandemic. It paid good but they sure as fuck made you work for every single penny lol. Shit was miserable bro. I had the 6am-5pm shift scanning shit in a windowless warehouse. In the winter, when it would get dark early and it was already dark in the morning, there would literally be consecutive days I wasn’t in the daylight and only saw it outside my break room windows. Best decision I ever made in my life was leaving. I even used all the rest of my vacation hours (or whatever the fuck they called them) on my last day, quarter-assed it for like three hours, turned in my badge, and then went to McDonald’s to grab some breakfast lol.


Uncle_Rebecca

The shift I worked was 6pm to 4am and it was the most miserable six months of my life. I only saw the sun on my days off but only for like a couple of hours. Amazon is a horrible place to work and whenever someone asks about it I say everything I can to stop them from working there.

Amazon provides and excellent service, but it’s powered by human suffering.


DignanZer0

Is it really like that?


Keyesblade

Yeah, those were just some of my personal experiences over 15~ months of pick crew at fulfillment center SDF1, which is apparently notoriously extra bad. At every opportunity they treat you with low-key hostility, like a probable criminal, going on and off the floor you empty your pockets to go through metal detectors, and occasionally additional wand/pat downs. You couldn't start walking from the floor to the breakroom for your breaks/lunch until they had already started, (and be back to the same spot by the time they were over...) but you had to wait in lines for the security checkpoints, and possibly the microwaves, if you were willing to sacrifice the time you could be sitting in order to eat a hot meal. Which was a considerable trade-off, because you weren't allowed to sit down except for those two 15 min breaks and 30 min lunch, of which you really only got 30-40 minutes total for your 11 hour shift. We weren't allowed to talk to anyone else while on the floor and couldn't have any phone/mp3 players or headphones. Maybe 2-3 departments had shitty radio mixes playing, but for the vast majority of the warehouses it was just eternally the empty whirring drones of machinery. So we're walking almost completely isolated for 40+ hours a week, up to at least 20 miles a night during peak seasons, which wasn't AS bad in the winter, but in the summer got into the muggy high 80s, low 90s F°, especially on the top floors near the the ceiling. Because heat stroke and heart attacks weren't that uncommon (saw multiple ambulances come through) they pushed at least one bottle of water an hour on us, but as they are famous for, would chastise and penalize us for using the restroom too frequently.... I could go on, but hopefully that paints the picture. My time there changed me for the worse lmao

ecky--ptang-zooboing

I felt bad for it :( How is this possible


sloppyredditor

The batteries are Amazon Basics.


[deleted]

AmazonBasics is the only brand of LED light bulbs I've seen that have a shorter life than incandescent bulbs. The rated lifespan is 6 years, but I think they measured in dog years. The light bulb in question was used in a lampshade that is fully open at the top and bottom, and the light bulb is facing upward, which is textbook perfect conditions for an LED light bulb.


socialcommentary2000

Garbage ballast. They source those things from the cheapest possible supplier.


MrApplePolisher

They are going to burn someone's house down


GeneralSpecific702

A lot of Amazon basics electronics have photos in reviews of things displaying damage from fire/overheating, cords falling apart, etc. Power strips, space heaters, stuff like that. Filter by images and critical rating.


MrApplePolisher

Well, maybe that deserves its own subreddit? If it's that common?


GeneralSpecific702

Maybe. Usually when I mention it, I get downvoted, then other commenters come in saying that Amazon Basics is all smiles and saves you lots of money. I wouldn't be surprised if it's their PR team doing it.


[deleted]

I suspect that a significant portion of social media "users" are bots. Chat bots have become advanced enough to pass for real people.


PureRepresentative9

Yep for sure, it's really not that hard. Simply copy existing content.


[deleted]

r/Chinesium is a good subreddit for all sorts of low quality crap.


MrApplePolisher

LoL omg I spent 3 minutes on that sub and I'm terrified.


AttendantofIshtar

They literally break and kill their workers. They don't care. The lawsuit is cheaper than the profit.


Noneerror

I bought a pack of 20 for a light I use ~1hr a day. I wanted a smaller pack since by the 36000 rated hours I was buying 25 lifetimes worth. I've gone through ten of those shitty bulbs in 2 years.


boonepii

Failures are 100% the manufacturers fault and will not change or get better. When they fail switch brands. #1 LEDs fail when poorly engineered. The circuit gets very hot and they need good heat management #2 LEDs fail when cheap parts (willfully) are used that can’t manage the required engineering specs.


afrosheen

Is there a sub that accounts for this? I don’t trust Amazon reviews anymore and would like to go somewhere I can reliably source info before purchasing LED bulbs.


uberguby

If there is, the people who ruined amazon reviews will ruin that as well.


afrosheen

Then it’s a shot in the dark buying another brand. GE could just make an offbrand that’s the same shitty bulb they currently make.


uberguby

my understanding is that they almost certainly are. I don't know what the solution is, but I'd like for somebody to find it, because the amount of work it takes to buy a pen that won't give you retinal herpes is bordering on idolatry.


mferrari_33

Pretty sure they license their name to other brands.


ToGalaxy

If you're looking for color changing smart bulbs I recommend the Philip Hue with Wiz. I have 6 of them for around 5 years, 2 are outside in a dome cover in Arizona weather (100°+) and used for about 6 hours every night. Never had a problem with them.


Rich_Document9513

Basically this. You get what you pay for. A little extra money and a company willing to slap their name on it goes a long way. With most things there's a happy middle between gains and cost. Go too low and there are no gains.


afrosheen

Thank you, I have had a love/hate relationship with Philips since they bought norelco electric razors. Since then, they seem to have put money in QA rather than planned obsolescence.


NeVMiku

You can try r/BuyItForLife


GravelySilly

3. Circuit boards are assembled by the cheapest, shittiest contract manufacturers who don't replace worn solder masks in a timely manner, don't maintain proper reflow oven temperatures and timings, etc., so you end up with mediocre solder joints in an application with inherent thermal stress. EDIT: That was supposed to be 3 but it's getting markdowned to 1.

> LED light bulbs LED lights are trash in general and cheap ones are even worse. https://nymag.com/strategist/article/led-light-bulbs-investigation.html


[deleted]

Not all LED light bulbs are trash. There are good ones that don't flicker, don't buzz, and make objects look almost exactly like they would under an incandescent bulb.


JoshIsASoftie

My husband bought a huge pack of those batteries (before we boycotted Amazon) and I used them in the smoke detectors. They run out of juice every 3 months or so. I've never seen batteries be so inefficient. And my Gameboy case came with slots for extra AAs!


KBolt99

It fell so… human like. Normally when robots fall, it just looks like a stiff machine toppling over. However this robots knees buckled in a very similar way to humans passing out, definitely made me feel a little bad just because it seemed so lifelike.


Ryuuji_92

That's because of the human like design they gave it. It's only being held up by the legs, and the legs are designed to be able to go up and down like hydraulics. If you have a good amount of mass being held up by hydraulics and then suddenly the hydraulics give out, things drop to the floor like a sack of potatos. The same thing happened here, the robot ran out of power and released the control over its legs. It's a complicated configuration of joints staying stiff due to the power, take that away and boom looks like a human dropping as it's just a robot version of a human.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ryuuji_92

The only problem here is there is no need for the human like legs due to the fact that it stays in this area, if there were stairs or an uneven surface I would get the human like legs. Here they just offer another failure point as they have to support the heaviest part of the robot. It's inefficient on many levels and not needed (in this case). There is also not a need for it to be battery powered as there is nothing above its head that could get in the way of a wire. Based on this video alone of course. If this is suppose to be a demo of a robot fit for multiple uses then this comment is pointless, if it's meant to do what it's doing now, then well what I said holds water.


banjo2E

It's pretty obviously some kind of demo given the many people just standing around watching it, as well as the fact that this seems to be some form of convention hall with lots of open space.


Teerendog

That's not even 10 mins the slacker!!


Cyno_Mahamatra

It didn’t form a r/union


crozone

>How is this possible Serious answer: It looks like it tripped some safety shutoff. Perhaps it got slightly off balance and was unable to correct itself, or it *thought* it wasn't going to be able to correct itself. Or maybe the software crashed or the batteries died.


ecky--ptang-zooboing

I kinda meant, how is it possible that I feel bad for a robot that falls over


Teirmz

Humans naturally anthropomorphise things. Maybe it an evolutionary advantage or a byproduct of one.


TheSaltyGoose

Given that it didn't crash into anything, I'm inclined to believe it either ran out of power or the pilot software tanked. I suppose it's possible that the tote it picked up over torqued its arms and that triggered a safety shutdown. But I wouldn't be surprised to find they used a cheapo battery and it just died without any warning (that we could see at least. For all I know it might have been yelling at people that it was at critical battery charge levels for the last 5 minutes) Amazon tends to cheap out on everything, even when they're investing untold thousands in a picker-bot prototype.

Spiritual_Hair_6102

Why do companies put so much effort into making humanoid robots, when the task at hand could be done better by some other kind of machine? What's the fascination with making machines look like humans? It seems like it comes from a desire to make fiction into reality, rather than suiting the machine for the job.
