I had this come up recently, the issue is that it seems that products with multiple "styles" will show the same alert across all "styles". The problem is that often times the "styles" may be significantly different products, in my case they were monitors with extremely different specs all from the same manufacturer.


This is probably not the correct use of the "styles" feature on Amazon in the first place.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm betting Amazon would prefer items with different specs to be different listings, with styles being limited to differences like color, finish, etc.


Like how sellers on eBay throw an unrelated product in as a "style" or some such so that their listings go to the lowest price without actually selling the price you searched for the low amount? Annoys me constantly.


Yeah that’s annoying. Then I read reviews and they’re all for a wildly different product because they decided to list 10 under the same item


Right-click open in incognito works, but definitely annoying


It opens wikipedia in private too.


Outstanding work, I wrote an incredibly naive simulator of Starlink coverage using H3 over a year ago before we even knew that Starlink was using H3 internally. The community over in r/Starlink wrote some other simulations too and we all stopped short of actually calculating based on gateway reachability and ISLs weren't in use yet either.


i love H3 and got my last company to use it internally for _something_, will try to use it again now


Not exactly, it moved on to round 4 of the competition as a potential backup.


I will note that the cells that I have rendering on the site there are for performance and download size reasons, and were never meant to correspond to any geographical restrictions that Starlink has put in place.


Hi, yeah I created that and haven't updated it in a long time. You can pull the github repo and run it yourself to get a new map but there are some issues that have cropped up since that have prevented me from being able to update the site myself.


I guess it's all stars now if updated anyway, so not super interesting.


I did manage to run the simulation in May and surprisingly the data appeared to indicate less stars but higher average coverage time (by a few minutes). I didn't push this update because it wasn't much of a change from the current map, but I probably should have since that is interesting in itself.
