@admitsWrongIfProven yea i dunno i didnt buy one too recently.. if they are usually that expensive than seems most of the sdcardson amazon are scams... that could be too.
@LouisIngenthron The thing iis even if you explicitly and knowingly lied that is still no libel or slander which has additional conditions... so even then the suit was pointless.
I would have loved to be a fly on that lawyers wall.
@LouisIngenthron Sounds fair and not at all libel/slander.
@LouisIngenthron You should link me to the amazon product in a DM so I definately will not leave 20 bad reviews.
@LouisIngenthron Over a god damn amazon review... what the fuck did you say!?
@LouisIngenthron Just getting filed in court at all is a serious enough threat.
@freemo Don't trust the reviews on Amazon. Recently had a seller sue me to take down a bad review. Amazon didn't give a shit.
So, they're openly allowing their reviews to be gamed by litigious scammers now.
@LouisIngenthron Was it just a threat or did it actually go to court? Thats bonkers!
@equalityisfairness You have probably been the least time consuming account on QOTO. You have never caused me even a moment of trouble. You feel free to start as many accounts as youd like :)
@spots1000 Ever single counterfit i have encountered has been sold online.
Id imagine in person in a store its fairly rare since they will stop the supply chain once discovered usually
@spots1000 Amazon almost always just refunds me and doesnt even ask me to send shit back.. its one reason why i use them for nearly everything at this point, that and the fast shipping.
@spots1000 I am well aware of the fake sd and usb decices and know they run rampant... The issue is, its hard to tell which it is.
in fact in this case its suggestive it isnt a scam since the scams do tend to lean towards name brands more. But with only 3 reviews its suspicious enough.
Yea though i looked around and there were a lot of 1tb options for 50$... so i dunno, off brand, maybe.
@gpowerf not sure they will be fast enough for every day, but for a trial or to play or in a pinch i think it would work out quite well.
@BigMcLargeHuge I will.
@BigMcLargeHuge if i decided to buy one i would do a full bit for bit integerity check for sure.
@gpowerf I dont even have a need right now.. but if there is legit 20$ 1TB microsd cards I would honestly consider starting moving over to this as a backup solution (right now i use extra drives as backup)
