So, everyone else finds a product with only 5 star reviews to be suspicious, right?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 44 points 9 months ago

My strategy is to skim the 1-2 star reviews to see if they have any legitimate complaints or if its just personal bullshit.

Extra fun when the reviews are for some other product.

Product: A sock

Review; 4/5 this didn't come with batteries like the description said it would, but the motor works great for my model car.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago

Oh absolutely. Fuckin scumbags.

Yeah like "flashlight is pretty bright but the switch quit after 2 months" and if I see several reviews talling about failed switches I kmow what's up. A good product will have a 1 star review talking about "flashlight tastes terrible and hurt my teeth."

"USB Battery is very large, but takes very long to charge all the way." on a battery that supports both USB-Micro and USB-C Fast Charging.

Fast charging refuses to work in my car ๐Ÿ‘Ž

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Could be any number of things from the charger not being USB-C PD to the sun overheating your phone and causing the safeties to stop or slow down the charging. I haven't actually found a car charger with a buckboost converter in it to provide higher voltages even when the circuit board is available online for hobby projects.

"SENT ME TO ER, and denied return. I don't know why guys enjoy flashlights so much for "playtime", but this one ain't it, had to go to er when gf got a little too rough with it."

Awesome product, but delivery took too long so now I can't gift it to my kid for his birthday. 1 star.
