I stopped buying electronics on Amazon after getting bricks instead of a GPU for my PC and they treated me like shit when I went to return it. I filed a complaint with the state about the fraud and their unwillingness to correct it. Complaint didn’t do shit but I was pissed. Now the only stuff I buy on Amazon is random household items and stuff for the kids that’s under 100 bucks.

I use B&H for new tech stuff now. Sometimes the Bay of E for used.

that is the full name lol, just look up that.

edit: technically the url is bhphotovideo.com but asking what b&h means is like asking what HP means. it may technically mean something, but no one needs to know it.

Wasn't HP branded Hewlett Packard for ages ? Unless you're talking about HP sauce which name is a complete mystery

[–] sekhethsis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe HP Sauce is House of Parliament.

I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.

Yer a wizard in the kitchen, Harry.

Probably Hawlett Packard and you are right, but no one says anything other HP these days.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
