Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 7, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

In reluctant defence of Amazon, I bought a cheap HDMI to VGA adapter/converter from one of those brands with a weird Chinglish brand name and it worked flawlessly with no noticeable latency. Very satisfied with that one.

I've also been expanding my tool collection with cheap tools from Lidl, which while not the best are far better than I had assumed such cheap tools from a discount supermarket would be and more than adequate for the light duty use a casual DIYer like me subjects them to. Really handy for filling out the gaps in my kit without spending top dollar for something I don't have many uses for but struggle to do without. It's the only shopping experience I can find these days where I feel like I'm leaving good deals behind instead of trudging around six different shops or a dozen different websites that fail to offer a single appealing purchase between them.
