    Lmao they think I have kids.

    …actually now that I think about it for 5 seconds I think they just love defrauding advertisers.

    Seems to only work on Amazon.com. My .ca info isnt shared. It says the following though:

    "Make Amazon even more personal to you

    Your other AI assistants have learned about you. Bring that knowledge here for an even more personalized experience."

    I think I’ll go chuck my computer and iot devices into a dumpster now.

    “Likely lives in City, State”

    Birch you ship everything I’ve ever ordered to the same address.

    Mine is pretty straightforward, “builds electronics” “has precision tools” “likely has a french press” (I do, I bought it on Amazon), “prioritizes high-speed data transfer”, “Probably has a computer system with internal expansion” (I bought an NVMe SSD from Amazon once), “Likely lives in (the town in my saved shipping address)”

    So surveillance. Much sleuthing.

    Hilariously I apparently am big into adheasivly mounting things and also buying batteries. Nothing about my buttocks, sadly.

    Oh. And I prefer Anker chargers.

      What they don’t tell you on this page is the rest of their inferences based on that: you’re stuck in the renting class still.

      This list of “admissions” is intentionally shitty to mollify people into accepting the data broker dystopia.

      I miss Anker before thy sold out and enshittified. Used to be a reliable no brainer, now it’s an always-avoid no-brainer.

    Mine doesn’t have anything of a particularly personal nature, just obvious stuff from purchase history like:

    • Likely favors Merrell brand for outdoor footwear (I have purchased the same model of Merrell shoe several times)
    • Hikes frequently (a reasonable guess about someone who repeatedly buys hiking boots)
    • Likely has a ThinkPad laptop (I bought trackpoint caps)
    • Likely owns an Olympus camera (I bought a battery for an Olympus camera)

      You don’t even have to purchase something several times. I bought two of the same monitor once and now it thinks I have a preference for that no-name brand. It’s pretty dang dumb.

    Mine is pretty meh. Gets a lot right, but thinks I have a dog and I prefer zigbee. I have a cat (that I’ve bought dog accessories for) and prefer Z wave, but usually buy those things elsewhere.

    Most of the things it has are directly related to a single purchase that I remember. It thinks I like a certain brand of monitor because I bought two of them for secondary monitors once. They are no-name monitors and I could not care less about the brand. It’s pretty basic shit. I could probably write the algorithm for it.
