M K (@hocmsam11) reported@amazonIN what a pathetic service Amazon India is providing. They don’t have a customer care number to reach and have all options only to avoid reaching out to them. Is this how you do business in India Amazon ? My item is missing and there is no way to reach or solve the issue!

Tame Token (@tametoken) reported@jesus_osorior Now I understand why Jeff Bezos and Amazon shut down Amazon Games, along with New World. It's because he blind.

JBarb (@JBBQ211014) reported@IPostAndGhost I don’t know why we don’t do that, just give Amazon the ability to deliver packages with the mail for an extra dollar. It’s a drop in the bucket when it comes down to it, an extra 52 dollars a year to Amazon is not going to hurt anyone

Ash HALL (@AshHallN) reported from Brigham City, Utah@Manhattva @CricAnon BZI from Cedar City is a good choice for contractor. Seen them on maybe 200 Amazon warehouses I participated in building (the one that burnt down in LA was one) Also I would make sure all the steel is from Box Elder. There are revar manufacturers in OR and AZ that could get the contract. They also havr a truss plant in Brigham City, whetr even the state of UT has used CanAm (Canadian) steel on the schools they were building when there was big growth west of Utah Lake.

I judge you: I am ULTRA MAGA (@judgmentcenter) reportedElon Musk's Starlink is great, I have had it since 2022 in central Florida. It is just as fast as Comcast, Xfinity and Spectrum. - When Florida got hit by a hurricane many thousands lost their high-speed internet (cable or fiber internet) for weeks, but people that had Starlink didn't lose their high-speed internet. - My setup at home: I have my dish sitting on 6 small sheets of plywood cut to just be a little larger than the dish’s stand which are sitting on the ground out of the way. I drilled holes, mounted the dish to the plywood with large rust-proof bolts. I then put sandbags on top of the plywood and also the dish’s stand to hold it down even more than 6 sheets of plywood do. - I then put the Starlink cable in a protective plastic protector (from Amazon), then buried the cable 2-3 inches - I also put the Starlink dish in a clear acrylic sleeve that will protect it from bird droppings, tree sap and even hail. Acrylic sleeve is from an Australian firm. - However, when a hurricane was forecast/coming to the area, I unburied the cable and cable protector and brought the entire Starlink dish inside my garage to protect dish during the storm. - There is plenty of extra cable to do so. - As soon as the wind died down, I brought the dish back out and had my high-speed internet back up within about 10 minutes. - Sandbags and 6 sheets of plywood (cut to size) to hold it in place for normal storms. +++ +++ Starlink also has a $5 a month standby mode. It automatically updates its firmware and software in standby mode. It is ready for you in 5 minutes whenever you need to start up high speed internet. Great for snow birds. Keep it in standby mode until you come back to the area. Or keep it in standby mode if your highspeed cable/fiber internet goes out after a major storm, hurricane or tornado. The dishes have a dish warming option to melt snow from it, which I turned off since I am in to warm of a climate in Florida. +++ +++ It is also a satellite phone. It works even if all the cell towers are down so you can make calls or send/receive text messages using Starlink’s WiFi internet. You can make phone calls or send text using your cell phone: Step 1: Connect your cell phone to the Starlink Wi-Fi (Starlink’s regular high-speed internet OR Starlink’s standby mode) Step 2: Then select Wi-Fi Calling on your cell phone. Step 3: Now you are connected to the Starlink satellites making calls, send texts using your cell phone – your actual cell phone number is used just as if you connected to your Cell Phone company.

Anna writes (@anna_writes0) reportedI was checking a book on Amazon recently and the topic itself wasn’t bad at all. The problem was the presentation. Weak subtitle. Confusing cover. No clear audience targeting. It reminded me that sometimes books don’t fail because the idea is terrible… They fail because buyers don’t immediately understand the value.

cvero.ai (@CveroAI) reported"Amazon shut down its AI recruiter after it learned to penalise CVs that mentioned 'women's.'" Reuters The model wasn't biased on day one. It learned bias from the hiring data. What was your screening AI trained on?

Flamingo Queen 🏝️🏖️⛵️ (@Mourning_starz) reported@1Nicdar Instacart was caught frauding customers , I use Amazon Fresh or Amazon Whole Foods almost exclusively… I almost never go to the actual store and when I do it’s the fancy Publix near my house …never Walmart, never Aldi, never any other grocery chain frequented by those known to create problems..

Every major AI company including NVDA, Anthropic, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and OpenAI is partnering with them not competing. $30B revenue target by 2030 at under $100B market cap today.

Celsius 233 (@Celsius233Books) reportedListening to these horror stories and realising how good the Amazon customer service is for its scale. Had like a total of 3 issues in the last decade or so, and almost all of them got resolved within 20 minutes of calls with their customer service representatives.

czverse (@czverse) reportedFor 30 years, the internet ran on one payment assumption: Humans authorize. Humans approve. Humans pay. Every financial rail ever built assumed a person at the end of the wire. Credit cards - designed for humans. Bank transfers - designed for humans. PayPal - designed for humans. Then on May 7th, AWS flipped a switch. And the assumption broke. AI agents running on Amazon's infrastructure can now pay for things. By themselves. In real money. In 200 milliseconds. No human in the loop. The Coinbase head of infrastructure didn't bury the headline: "There will soon be more AI agents transacting than humans." Here's what they actually built: AWS Bedrock AgentCore Payments. Agents get a wallet. Wallet is funded by a human. Agent spends - within hard limits you set. Settlement happens in USDC on Coinbase Base or Solana. Cost per transaction: fractions of a cent. And the protocol underneath is elegant. It's called x402. Built on HTTP 402 - a status code that's existed since 1991. "Payment Required." Engineers reserved it in the original web specs. Never implemented it - because the financial rails of the 90s couldn't support it. Stablecoin rails can. So x402 is finally live. 30 years later. The use cases are already real: → APIs become pay-per-call - no contracts, no accounts, just transact → MCP servers get paid directly by agents doing research → Paywalled content charges per article - agents pay 5 cents to read → Agents hire other agents and pay them per completed task Warner Bros. Discovery is testing it. Heurist AI is building agent labor markets on top of it. And that creates the question nobody's ready for: What happens to the economy when agents are the buyers? No impulse purchases. No brand loyalty. No UI dark patterns. Agents optimize purely on price, speed, and quality. The machine economy doesn't browse. It transacts. We broke down the full architecture, the x402 protocol, every use case, and the risks in detail. Link in bio. czverse

Dominic Austin (@DominicAus36831) reported@AmazonHelp For Order # 113-1815603-4337058 I received a different item than what was ordered (specifically a different option). My love chat and call back is not working, so I thought I would try this. Thanks!

Marshall Jaquish (@ucanjustdostuff) reported@AmazonHelp @amazon I handled it with Customer Service. I'm not trying to shake Amazon down - but your drivers shouldn't be grabbing stuff off of people's doors without explicit permission.

Sean Frank (@Seanfrank) reportedA great video that highlights the problem plaguing the California government- It can’t get anything done. The CA gov set out to give millions of diapers to people this year. They gave out zero. They said it would cost 50% more per diaper than you can buy them for on Amazon. Right now. And Amazon would actually deliver them. Today. They had a year. They could overspend by 50%. And they couldn’t do it. But we still get headlines and celebrations like “HAZZA! CALIFORNIA LOOKS OUT FOR PEOPLE AGAIN!” It isn’t about the diapers. It isn’t even about the train. It’s the fact that the largest state, with the largest budget, with a one party super majority- hasn’t gotten anything done in a decade.

What Ho…A Rat!! (@WhatHoARat) reported@TLiterarian @bradkelly I'd entertain them as linked problems, but i don't have any hard opinions. Just cynical about everybody with power. I remember being really weirded out that walmart was open and amazon could sell whatever and everybody small was shut down - seemed to me like a gov't subsidized wealth transfer (though probably born of perceived necessity, and the lack of a better plan). It was all a ******.
