neurodyneon TerabyteDeals – Compare storage prices by $/TB

Not to be yet another critical voice, but where are your prices actually coming from? I'm in the US, and I just chose the top three "Price/TB" items and none of the prices on your site agree with the actual item pages on Amazon.

  - Toshiba X300 16TB Performance & Gaming 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive
  - https://terabytedeals.com/us: $229.95
  - https://amazon.com/dp/B0CYQXNCVZ: $353.30 new

  - Western Digital 18TB WD Red Pro NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD
  - https://terabytedeals.com/us: $259.99
  - https://amazon.com/dp/B08K3TFM92: $361.53 used, $549.59 new

  - Western Digital 22TB WD Purple Pro Surveillance Internal Hard Drive HDD
  - https://terabytedeals.com/us: $329.69
  - https://amazon.com/dp/B0B5VYRJ6Q: $465.00 new

You can claim Amazon price volatility, but I don't suspect that to be what's going on here. CamelCamelCamel price history graphs show that these items have never been anywhere near the terabytedeals.com prices looking back the last three months, including Amazon, 3rd Party New, or 3rd Party Used prices.

  - https://3cmls.co/US/B0B5VYRJ6Q

In fact, my spidey senses are tingling. The only strings that match the terabytedeals.com prices are completely different items.

These other items and prices only appear if you choose the "See All Buying Options" button or the "Other sellers on Amazon" menu. Then wait for the "Didn't find what you were looking for? Consider these alternative items" section to load.

  - For B0CYQXNCVZ (16TB), Amazon offers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NTDWMSQ (6TB) which *IS* listed as $229.95.
  - For B08K3TFM92 (18TB), Amazon offers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMJPRLJV (18TB) which *IS* listed as $259.99.
  - For B0B5VYRJ6Q (22TB), Amazon offers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0966V6YJB (12TB) which *IS* listed as $329.69.

That this pattern holds true for three items, seems like maybe the wrong prices are being scraped somehow?

neurodyneon OpenGitOps

I often hear folks use terminology like “push GitOps”. But as far as I understand things, it’s only GitOps if you’re following the four principles described in TFA. Otherwise it’s just sparkling pipelines.

neurodyneon Fed up with macOS – it downloaded 47 GB of 4K 240FPS screensavers. Asahi FTW

Also, what does 47 GB of used disk space on macOS have to do with 2 GB of RAM used on Linux?

neurodyneon WeatherKit

https://weatherspark.com/

It's now something akin to a weather almanac, describing the general weather patterns of locations. I still find it useful, but it's a shadow of its former self.

neurodyneon How Anker is beating Apple and Samsung at their own accessory game

No other way? Was https://www.anker.com/login?back=support/refund-exchange not available at the time when you needed help?

I had a faulty cable that was ordered through Amazon, and was able to receive a replacement in about two days, through their site.

Thanks for this list!

For anyone else interested, .rs is the ccTLD for Serbia and many registrars will require a Serbian Citizen Number.
