must admit set look s good, chrome vanadium ,suitable to chuck in boot for the odd occasion rather than risk loosing your favorite kit.Both can be true
It is data grabbing and it’s trying to win customers off aliexpress and amazon
I’m sure the socket set cost a fiver to produce so probably a reasonable cost for Temu, who are spending hundreds of millions on advertising right now.

It's all about creating reliancethen being able to switch it off and or hold entire states to ransom.
Be it cheap electric cars, solar panels, raw materials for our defence and industrial base etc.
Temu would still be subject to GDPR, though higher chance of them breaking the rules....
I mean, that's just commerce (including drug dealing)
agreeWhen you don't make a lot yourself you have to rely on others that leaves you open to all sorts. The balance has shifted. It might still be the case that the UK is a powerhouse of innovation and design in certain areas, for stuff now made elsewhere. An issue is intellectual rights being ignored and massive industrial espionage.
They also can't unnecessarily collect personal data. There is a chance that Temu do follow the rules, because if they get caught, they won't be able to trade in the EU.Most GDPR concerns are about people selling personal data, whereas (in this case) Temu probably are never going to sell the data - they want it to market to the people who have signed up.
problem is Amazon is usually next day and I have zero patience!
In London delivery is a big time saver....20mph everywhere and DIY stuff being bulldozed for flat building means it can be 30-40 mins sitting in traffic for a box of screw driver bits!generally, then it is truly just so convenient.
