Oh you are paying the shipping fee. It’s only factored into the item price. That’s why sometime you can’t simply buy one item but at least two or five. They won’t send you just one.

Games@lemmy.world•What game do you personally have the most hours played in?English
3·3 months agoYou believe it or not I keep learning new tricks and exploring new ways to solve old problems. If you factor in (no pun intended) mods like space exploration or Factorio 2.0 then it becomes more true.
I was able to “finish” Factorio 1.0 several times but never reached end game in both space exploration and Factorio 2.0 and still enjoy to play it several months straight every so often. I still have to visit Vulcanus and Fulgora because I was playing with friends and they “sent” me on Gleba, which it felt like playing Factorio for the first time; loved it!
Man! now I want to play it again hahahahah

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignoreEnglish
1·7 months agoIf you mainly do work tasks it is perfectly ok. My main monitor is a 4k 60Hz, the second is a 2k 144hz. Both runs very fluid with almost no hiccups. My few colleagues adopted the same layout and are happy with it.
It is not ok for gaming though, especially FPS or other games with fast changing scenes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignoreEnglish
3·7 months agoI have 2 computers connected to an USB switch (not a port replicator but one that let switch the host of your USB switch) and the dock attached to this USB switch. This allows me to quickly switch all of my desk devices (multiple monitors, webcam, microphone, gigabit network, etc…) with one click. Also both computer just require 2 cables for everything: USB and power cord. It took some time to put it all together but it is now my definitive battle station.
Unfortunately the dock does not work well with Linux and I am not able to find a non displaylink dock that enables me to achieve all of this. It is just a driver problem, but still…

6·7 months agoFor me it is the displaylink dock driver which consume all the CPU in Ubuntu and Fedora. When that will get sorted out, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon, I will finally ditch Windows.

Can’t remember but I definitely used a guide to reach 100%
Fez Is the only game I ever 100% in my life and it is a well polished masterpiece.
I own hundreds of games and put around 4k hours into Factorio but still recommend Fez to anyone.
I am saving this post because I sense a lot of “potential” here.

Sorry, I was not clear. I have prime and almost everything has free shipping no matter how many items you buy.
What I mean is that, for smaller/cheapier items, they won’t sell you just one, because you will immediately see you ARE paying the shipment. So they sell you “sets” of something and factor the shipping cost in, so that if you calculate how much is for each item, the shipment fee is spread out and become acceptable for you.
Many websites offer you free shipping above some order value, but you wouldn’t shop on those sites so often and you wouldn’t consider to buy something small because you are paying and shown the shipping fee. Amazon doesn’t want you to wait too much between orders and doesn’t want you to go somewhere else for smaller items but also doesn’t want to pay for your shipment.
So in the end, we are paying for the shipment and also locking ourselves behind a monopoly just because it is convenient (at least I am, and I hate it)
