Last time I used their website, it was over complicated, non-responsive, and I got scammed

I've been using eBay since ... hmm, eBay says May 21, 2000. Part of eBay's charm is that their website is still uncomplicated for its level of functionality. They are essentially commercial Craigslist - no more webshit than is absolutely necessary to do the job. eBay is notable for having a lot of category-specific metadata about products listed on the site, which may or may not be correct but at least gives you something to search on. It's best to do both this and keyword searches because people misspell things and/or misenter the product info.

you needed some Master in eBay Scam Protection, and if you missed one of the 50 golden rules, you would see your money gone with no help from eBay

I've used dispute resolution with eBay several times, and while it has occasionally been irritating, I have generally been able to get back my money.

Doesn't seem like a smart move to buy a sinking ship, but hey, good luck with that !

Which ship is sinking? The real question is how Gamestop stays in business given how ubiquitous home internet access is.

It's quite hilarious for me watching foreign videos where I can't tell what they might have actually said because I lack any context, all I can do is boggle.

I have seen improvement, but it's mostly in the software's ability to pick speech out of noise. The comprehension part is still nonexistent.

These results have been bouncing around a bit without any apparently explanation, I presume the methodology is variable with time and I don't take the exact numbers too seriously.

That said, this is the best time in history to be a Linux gamer. If you have AMD graphics then your system probably works great. If you have Nvidia, results will probably vary a whole lot, but at least features will work. (Only old school SLI is really missing.) Proton is very stable and recently there have been some nice improvements in areas like load time and menu responsiveness. From my informal testing, it seems like some of that is NTSYNC.

And it's also the worst time in history to be a Windows user, if only because you could still get Windows 98SE when Windows ME had come out...
