Amazon India lightning deals

First and foremost, this is not aimed at @awestorr or anyone in particular, it's just that i saw it just after i myself tried to clean up links.

This one does contains refferal/affiliate. Sparsh650d-21 is the refferal I just checked.
The ones that are doubtful (recent discussion) , made me actually download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trianguloy.urlchecker

Attached pic , 2nd is without paid affiliate.

I understand this is important so that deals are just not promoted in bulk just to make side hustle but shared without any money motivation.. otherwise, evey sale is *loot* for the affiliate bots channels.

I think you guys need to check your phone as affiliate links are not added when you share from your phone, unless you are an affiliate. Maybe some other app is inserting the links?

Also, thanks for the urlchecker app, never seen it before in the FOSS community.

Interesting. On PC you can use browser extensions to automatically clean Amazon URLs:
E.g.: Firefox extension
For Chrome I found this, but didn't test: https://github.com/NicholasBly/Amazon-Link-Cleaner


@mods is it possible to implement it server side on the forum? I can help with the regex if required.

@rsaeon how about a user script that runs in the reply box here?
 
^ Definitely worth looking into though a browser extension may be more straightforward as shortened URLs need to be unshortened first.

I found the extensions removed product name from URL, so wrote a user script which preserves it. It's working on my PC.

Tamper Monkey is available for Android Firefox, will check if it works on phone too and then share the script.

Wondering if I can do some BB code formatting to the URL so all you need to do is copy the address field, paste the text in reply box, enter price, and post it
 
Here's the script. My first user script, so good luck being a guinea pig beta tester :D
  • Install Tamper Monkey browser extension
  • Install below script
  • Open an Amazon product page
  • URL field should automatically get cleaned


Known issues:
  • After a page has loaded completely, or you switch between the available variants, Amazon wants to add ?th=1 to the URL
  • I've tried to work around this partially by calling the URL cleaner function twice, but it doesn't work when switching variants
  • If you know a better way, feel free to modify

Not a lightning deal, but a good one none the less.
During the last Amazon sale I saw a 3D printer for less than Rs.9000 - a Yuva printer from WOL3D, but by the time I decided to buy it, it's price had shot up to Rs.25,000.

The WOL3D New Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo 3D Printer is at Rs.9558 now. Picked it up for Rs.8602 using the SBI card discount.


There was a Rs.600 cash back offer from Amazon for Home and Kitchen shopping. I think you can collect that coupon from the rewards page. So, the effective price for me was Rs.8002.

Reviews suggest the bed is warped in the middle for some other models from same company making it a mfg defect though not sure if same issue in this model & it should still work. Here is the review to understand this issue:
www.amazon.in

Check out this Amazon review of WOL3D Upgraded Creality Ender 3 2024 Model, DIY 3D Printer with Resume Function (Print Size - 220X220X250 MM)

Horrible Customer Service (full experience)
www.amazon.in

For this specific model there are 5 reviews out of which 3 are not good.
 
Any good deals on a decently spec’d 13-14 inch laptop around 50K?

Need to buy it for 1st year engineering kid. He is clueless on the requirement, so I’m thinking a good processor with an onboard GPU with 16gb ram.

I’ve used AMDs in desktops for a while, is there a specific laptop processor I should be targeting?
