Everything is already from China, but here we discuss the (formerly kek) cheap chink shit you see on various sites.
1st rule of /csg/: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

How does the Choice program work on Aliexpress? It says it'll take 10 days to even start shipping to the US, so I'm assuming they pallet up a whole bunch of orders during that timeframe, and then ship it off to the US in one go to minimize tariffs. Then it's separated and sent off to the buyers once it's within the borders

>>105517955
i think that's it. they use ali preferred distro warehouses and chartered cargo planes to rush it to your city with other "choice" items

Anyone know a decent quality allen key set? Prices seem vary alot and I got the sneaking suspicion that it's all the same weapons grade chinesium.

>>105517996
i always recommend the same with tools, go at least to the second cheaper price tier, not the chepaest one

>>105517955
That date is bullshit. It is usually shipped in 1-3 days. They just say it might take ten so you cant complain if it does.

>>105518137
It's already been 5. Maybe they'll ship it out faster if a certain region has enough orders to fill the pallet quickly. It makes sense they'll try to bulk ship as much as possible during the years of the orange taco

>>105518196
are you american? it makes sense there's going to be delays due to increased costs and less people buying

my 4 year old razer mouse broke and Im thinking of getting something chinese as ive been pretty satisfied with them so far (bought keyboard, iems, and mic from chinese brands), but have no idea whats reputable in the mouse market, do I just pick whatever has the most orders or do anons reccomend anything else

>BM800 still the microphone in the guides

I have heard that the baifeili C414 is a really good microphone, but it is not available in EU. Has anyone else from EU bought any aliexpress microphones and can share their experiences?

I'm looking for small Neodymium Magnet sets for 3D-Printing. Anyone able to recommend some? Something similar to pic related.

Anyone here knows some good affordable speakers that won't take up too much desk space?
I have an old altec Lansing speaker but it's broken and comes with a fucking massive subwoofer

>>105517996
5 eur is probably just one of those retarded folding sets, put there just for chinking on the price shown.
10 eur should land you an ok set

every now and then, I think about how I fucking hate buying chinkshit.
Then, I remember that everything is chinkshit anyways, I'm just getting branded chinkshit
I must consoom from the source.

My birthday is coming up in less than a month. I've asked one of my family members for this and I'm pretty sure they're getting it for me, Since they sent me a screenshot of the AliExpress page asking me if it was the color I wanted.

Pretty excited. Haven't owned a watch since I was like 14.

>>105520160
>everything is chinkshit anyways
indeed laowai. we consoom the pure shit

>>105520207
I'm hoping it'll make you happy anon.
I've thought about how to phrase it without potentially ruining your fun, but I've read some pretty mediocre/bad reviews of that specific type of clone. If you're lucky there's different types of clones and it was just some cheaper copy that had the bad reviews, and even if not if you haven't owned a watch in a long time it may still be nice, if nothing else for the novelty of it.
Just know that should this one not last very long you can get pretty decent watches for not too much more than that, be it digital, analog quartz, manual or automatic.

>>105521039
It's alright. It's a gift so I'm not out anything if it sucks.

>>105521081
True, and my guess is your appreciation of it comes from the form and styling, not the actual functionality part, so you might still be very happy with it. I'm wishing you the best, maybe it turns out great - give us a review when you have it.

>>105521095
We'll do. Thanks for the sunny disposition and kind words.

>>105519505
I've bought a few, but just went with whatever was cheapest. They aren't as strong as the expensive ones you get from reputable Western suppliers, but the price difference is significant and they are still powerful enough for most uses. The main annoyance is that they generally don't make super small ones like 1mm wide. If they did, they would probably be too weak even for my purpose (which is holding bits of plastic model kits together). If you are only supporting light plastic components and the magnets themselves can be in contact or only separated by paper-thin layers, you should be fine. Otherwise, I would recommend not risking it and just ordering some proper ones from a good supplier.

After that nothing is worth the time investment needed - if you aren't doing it because it's fun, you shouldn't do it. Stay at work for one more hour and you're making an order of magnitude more (even at minimum wage) than a week of farming these games will save you.

You can buy quality hex keys locally for a similar price. I saw those FUTE hex key sets were going for$18+GST, while I can get a set of usa made hex keys for $28inc GST. Not worth it.

>>105524337
I have no idea, but I just want to say this is so weird. And even if they wanted to be really cheap, there's so many ways this could be made in a more aesthetically pleasing way. It's like they didn't even try.

Drilled my bicycle's rims to fit new chinese kenda tubes with shrader valve.
And installed these cheap 6$ grips.
Feeling good, lads.

i know its just i cant get any more hours at my part time so i am trying to find any way to make extra bucks I hoped there is some ultra hidden exploit that will give me extra 2 dollars or so daily.

i have such bad luck that not even surveys give me money while friend makes $20 a month from them, he showed me receipt. fuck.

>>105520098
You have to choose between good and small, sadly. Physics and all.
Edifier are good budget options. Or maybe look into soundbars? I used to had one under my monitor for a while, wasn't half bad.

>>105520207
It has a temp sensor? Pretty wicked watch if it does.

>>105528406
Yeah

>>105526540
I would say Moto G84 is a better budget phone for about the same price.

i bought springs to repair a thing. they were much better quality than expected.
i measured the broken original. i went with the high side measurements to compensate for cheap shit.
well it turns out the original was cheap shit. the replacements are much sturdier.
it's just a garden hose nozzle but now i'm concerned the stronger spring could eventually crack the plastic.
the original is approximately 1.25mm to 1.50mm diameter. some where in between that.
so I went with 1.50. probably their 1.25 diameter spring would've been more than enough.

Latest batch of trash.

An antenna for my Tecsun PL-330. A shitheap of thin coiled wire with an adapter for radios without a dedicated antenna port. It did improve reception and I was able to listen to some Russians/Ukrainians/Belarussians bickering about politics on shortwave radio, pretty cool.

Two speakers, one of which I've fucked up to use as a motherboard speaker. Turns out 0.5W 8ohm is too much for modern motherboards and it ends up being very silent so I'll have to look into different speakers to find something that sounds clean and loud, and ideally ones that don't have pre-soldered cables covered in black goo.

has anyone found where i can buy an earbud pouch like one thats bundled with moondrop chu 2? all the ones i see on aliexpress are ones with magnets or bigger coin pouches

>>105528773
and it sticks to magnetic
so "stainless steel" is some kind of chinesium stainless steel
i can't magnetize it with a (de)magneizer
i don't know what that means, is there an metallurgy anon here?

>>105529167
I asked the robots.
> Sometimes, if 304 stainless steel is cold-worked (for instance, through bending, rolling, or welding), part of its microstructure can transform into martensite, which is ferromagnetic. Even so, the overall behavior often remains that of a magnetic “yes” when a magnet is nearby but “no” when you try to permanently magnetize it using a magnetizer. In contrast, ferromagnetic metals (like many low-carbon steels or ferritic stainless steels such as 430) would not only be attracted to magnets but also retain a level of permanent magnetism when magnetized.
> Thus, if your metal is sticking to magnets only weakly and doesn’t become permanently magnetized with a magnetizer, it is completely consistent with typical 304 stainless steel behavior. If you were expecting an entirely “non-magnetic” response, know that almost all metals—even those intended to be nonmagnetic—can exhibit some induced magnetism when exposed to strong magnetic fields.
> In short, based on your description, you most likely have 304 stainless steel that is exhibiting its normal paramagnetic (or very weak induced ferromagnetic) behavior rather than having a completely different composition.
thank you AI bot future

>>105529167
spring steel wont be "regular" stainless steel, i would even say you usually dont use stainless steel at all.
301 can be considered as spring steel, and according to mcmaster
>Wear-Resistant Multipurpose Stainless Steel (Type 301)
>Commonly used for fasteners and springs, this chromium-nickel (austenitic) stainless steel offers better wear resistance and fatigue strength than Type 304. It also has good weldability and maintains corrosion resistance up to 1550° F. May be slightly magnetic. Not heat treatable
>>105529294
that is 304, which is the most common kind but there are magnetic stainless steels, only the austenitic ones arent magnetic

Presta is better.
Also you can get lightweight TPU tubes for really cheap now. I bought some "ThinkRider" brand ones.

>>105530956
>Presta is better
Arguable.
Valve is pretty fragile.
Can't pump at any gas station.
I still wouldn't drill my rims for shrader, but wouldn't be too bummed if I got one.

>i have such bad luck that not even surveys give me money while friend makes $20 a month from them, he showed me receipt. fuck.
There's no easy exploit and when there are (which happens sometimes) you get blacklisted by the Ali overlords for exploiting them, some anons in here are permanently fucked out of prize land progress for abusing a water exploit.
My point was moreso that other than the dailies progress is slow and not worth it.
You sound young(er) so if you want to make some money and need flexible work hours, consider shit like fiver or Etsy, there's still a bit you can make there if you have either marketable skills or the wisdom to find a good niche (for Etsy). Fiver is a race to the bottom with third worders who are willing to slave for pennies, so you need some higher skilled labor capabilities for it to be worth it.
If you're a student at a uni, take a walk through the buildings there, usually on the ground floor there's flyers for odd-jobs all over, and uni jobs tend to pay okay for the effort (and come with super flexible working times). A lot of easy stuff like categorizing survey results, helping with secretary-tier work and cleaning up shitty datasets. If you have some coding skills there's a lot of that too, especially in the non-CS faculties you'll often find people desperate to find someone to write them a simple driver or helper program to Format and read measurement data and shit.
The usual low skilled labor jobs also exist and most of them are searching desperately, but they tend to require fixed working hours which is hard to fit into a schedule plus they are extremely soul sucking usually.

>>105525008
Those grips look like they have separate end caps, consider getting those endcap rearview mirrors, the only mirrors that are both usable and don't make your bike look utterly retarded (folded in they become basically invisible). Not needed for bike paths, but in city traffic they are very convenient to monitor traffic behind you without having to contort yourself. I got mine as a filler item for a bundle expecting them to be shit and now I can't ever go back because of how convenient they are.

the bearing, central axle on the pedals, the one that contains the front sprocket
i dont know the proper name used on bicycles

>>105535876
Well, if you don't have tools, you won't be able to do it.

>>105535255
They have chill positions. As a CS student they had CS stuff, which usually was quite skilled labor and required some serious domain knowledge, but a lot of other faculties are much more accessible to help with. I remember the biologists and the sociologists especially having pretty cool positions, the sociology positions were usually work from home too. Also EE robotics stuff often need helpers that aren't coding related (unlike the CS lads)

>>105535884
i do have lots of tools, just dont usually deal with bicycles. mine just werk since forever
its in my parents house, i am back there until my house is fixed, so i cannot just dismount it and leave it open for a couple of days, my mom would freak out, that is why i was asking before

>>105535959
finding replacements can be hard for old bikes, rebuilding the bearings can be cheaper even if you have to buy the special tools

It's clearly an American problem. Here in Switzerland, we even have chink shit boxes below our mailboxes. They're just open so that the mailman can put the chink shit in and you can take it out. Anyone could steal it but I have never heard it happen. I've had a mac mini sit in one of these for 2 days because I forgot to take it out.

>>105537779
that's what i implied with "a civilized country" ye

Who ever they guy was in the past thread talking about the Tecsun radio and the external antenna... thanks man. What a difference that makes. It's almost essential to have it if you don't have any other antennas.

Radio seems pretty good too. USB-C powered and the manual was in English (despite the chink box).

>>105537779
just depends. for plenty of jurisdictions more suburban and rural you can setup a larger premium mailbox if you want. in our neighborhood although i remain ever vigilant, i'm thankfully very safe. i can leave amazon packages, bigass ali hauls at my front door overnight and it's not really a concern.
but yeah the guy's picrel looks more like an urban apartment complex. con of that kind of housing

>>105537845
This is just an FM radio?

>>105536085
it sucked shit don't buy chink projectors lol

>>105538104
No, it's FM, AM, MW, LW, SW with SSB. You can switch from LSB to USB. It's a neat little radio, good for listening to the hams.

>>105538162
I have to be honest, I'm unfamiliar with ham radios, but it's always intrigued me. If I buy this with the antenna, can I listen to other people talking/transmitting? Do I have to have an in-depth knowledge about it? Or can I look up stations and punch them in?

>>105537890
Right, I've studied with a guy from Oregon who said that they virtually never locked their house. Every year his parents had to search the keys for their annual vacation. Must be nice to live in such a safe/secure environment.

>>105538121
you fell for this as well?

>>105538173
Yeah you can listen to other people, and you can search for signals or put them straight in. You can use it in a basic way but to get full usage out of all the options, it does have a bit of a learning curve for beginners but it's a good way to learn.

Don't worry, I've been messing with other radios and my own SDR for a couple of years and I still feel like a beginner.

It's supposed to be the "better" version of the one in your picture. I never expected it to be good but it's hilariously bad, even if you find the sweetspot where the center of the picture is sort of sharp the edges are very blurry. I watched a couple videos about it who either underplayed the blur or I got unlucky with the batch.

Either way if any anon is thinking about getting a chink projector, I suggest against it.

This is devastating news for my attempt to recreate the fortnine backdoor movie night idea with my ebike.

>>105540268
>backdoor
No more beer for me, backcountry is what I meant kek.

>>105540268
The sound is "okay" for the price and if you're just intending to watch a movie on it outside I think it will do you good. Don't give up on your comfy outdoors idea because an $80 projector didn't live up to my expectations.

>>105540209
that is something that happens on some camera lenses, you need to chose between focused in the center and blurred on the edges, or a half defined image across all the picture. You need to adjust one internal lens for that, but wont be easy unless you know what to do.
you could try opening it to check if something is obviously misaligned from the transit from china

Spent over 100 bongbucks on chinkshit from temu. Mostly clothing. Only got chinked a few times, some surprisingly good stuff.

Starting off with a few sweaters.
Two with a 'mesh' design, which allows rapid cooling when you open your jacket but still insulate when covered by a less open layer. Both pretty good, size as advertised, no obvious flaws in manufacturing.

A more conventional one. The texture difference between colour areas is less than I hoped, and it's the usual chinese thickness (i.e. ultra-light) but the material feels better than expected. It actually feels like wool, not acrylic yarn. Not going to burn/melt it to confirm, but if synthetic it's a very soft one. Sizing is fine.
https://share.temu.com/zlLCjZu9soA

Some very stylish shorts for the gym. Thin but OK material. Stitching is quick overlocking on everything but no loose ends or other signs of really shitty work.
https://share.temu.com/jqjhYTYtHTA

A weird late-night impulse buy: full-body stocking. Photos on site apparently taken with an ultra-small model, as maximum stretch is about 60cm circumference. May have some use, but mostly a waste of money but that's more due to it being a stupid buy than actual manufacturing quality.
https://share.temu.com/HFNvhtlknkA

Poncho. Seems a little thin, but print quality is good and has decent poppers, grommets, etc. Hood opening slightly tight, but hood itself is an OK size. May need some waterproofing treatment, but will test it without first.
https://share.temu.com/CND5wOY2G6A

Lightweight jacket. Incredibly thin, and significantly undersized. Fortunately I ordered much larger than my actual size because I wanted a baggy look. More of a well-fitted look in the end, but at least it is wearable. Not sure how much weather protection it will offer, but may function with layering.
https://share.temu.com/BuWIebwggRA

>>105543167
'Neck gaiter'. Essentially a small infinity scarf / thin snood. Poor quality, due to unfinished edges. Will fray like crazy unless I stitch it. Hopefully my sewing machine is still working.
https://share.temu.com/SURkCV5PDsA

Folding clipboard. Actually seems shockingly solid. Plastic pen clip fell off in transit and seems worthless, but NBD as you can simply use the normal method of jamming one under the clip and I prefer to keep my pens in my pockets anyway.
https://share.temu.com/XzAe0poGYIA

'Camel hair' socks. Purchased for novelty value. Fairly sure they are synthetic, but don't feel too bad.
https://share.temu.com/gKb4UORQxYA

Thick polyester socks. Seem OK for synthetics.
https://share.temu.com/TG1xjb62XVA

Sheet fasteners. My thick mattress keeps making fitted sheets slip off, hopefully these will help. Seem solid but not yet tested.
https://share.temu.com/2cAPtb0wOTA

Weird wearable bag. Somewhat surprised that it actually fits around my 46" chest. Straps are a little short for wearing it as a cross-body bag, but overall pretty good. Construction has no real flaws, but it's a very lightweight item with the usual fast-and-loose chinese stitching so probably not up to much hard use.
https://share.temu.com/WKEzHilZpDA

Small zip-up bag. Shockingly well-made. Really nice stitching, quality print, very good for the price.
https://share.temu.com/uU3oceCtb4A

Plastic boxes. Both seem made by the same manufacturer. Flimsy plastic, with surprisingly solid-seeming catches. Most similar boxes I bought in the UK were much more solid but always broke at the catches, so maybe a worthwhile compromise. Certainly seem adequate for most hobby storage and the price is competitive.
https://share.temu.com/GlMuLmkHINA
https://share.temu.com/gtZPHOERWwA

Small cushion. Planning to use it as a knee-pillow while sleeping. Seems OK, but wouldn't trust it as a pet pillow (as it is advertised) since god-knows what shitty toxic crap chang will use as filler.

nigga are you for real

So, I'm trying to do a CPU socket replacement
What would I need and can I source all of that stuff from Aliexpress and friends without going too high in budget?
Any specific models and advice welcome.
No BGA station, I know I do not need that for a CPU socket, but from a few hours of research I need a board preheater (not sure at all what I need), hot air station (looking mostly at the 858D right now unless you have a better idea), a big square / rectangle nozzle (since I'm looking at a couple LGA1700 boards, thing I've found what i need already), some fairly liquid flux (AMtech NC-559 is looking like what I want for now), some heat resistant yellow tape (I know the Ali stuff ios okay for that use so I just need to find one that come in larger strips), some aluminium foil (probably don't need Ali on that one), a stand for that hot air gun (found a couple but unsure if you could fit the 858D on them) so that I don't have to hold the fucking thing for 10 minutes.

I'm not looking at being a pro but I do have a few dead mobo and a few of those with the only issue being dead sockets (let's just say my training to repair bent LGA pins started rough and one board in particular I killed all but one memory slot trying to "better fix it"), so I'm looking at mostly trying myself at a new skill so long as I don't need to spend several thousand $k to even start.

>>105542830

funnily enough my impression of the projector was the same, that it was "just ok". for the price you get a bt/wifi enabled projector which has low contrast and brightness but it's lightweight and relatively quiet and has touchstone where you can project at an angle and then adjust the picture to be rectangular
i compared it to an NEC 10 year old bulb projector and that blows this out of the water in every regard other than size, power and cost
once again i default to my view that normal people don't know what they should be getting because the reviews say that it's excellent but after using it for a few mins i know that it's really "just ok"

>>105545488
codes end eventually, but are replaced with new ones all the time. ones coming up should be equivalent if not a bit better

>>105548136
how's the switch 2? worth paying $80 for 1 game?

About to get some things today. Stay tuned.

I want to buy a tablet that can play 4K 60FPS video without dropping frames. The display resolution doesn't actually matter I just want the video to play without issue.

Will the Xiaomi Pad 2 do this? Or is there a better option?

>>105548483
>Will the Xiaomi Pad 2 do this
It will not. G100 has 2K@30FPS playback in specs.

So what's the deal with screen protectors? I need a tempered glass one. Is it all the same shit or are there some that are actually worse than others?

>>105548483
>60fps
gonna need one of the newer processors for that. even the snapdragon 7s gen2 on all the mid range tabs can't play it
maybe try an older ipad pro

a preview for the summer sale event has popped up
looks like it could be a bust
2 billion prizeland water to be distributed
maybe there's more but if that's it then it's worthless

>>105548222
If you paid $60 when the switch 1 was released, then you should be able to pa $80 today.

>>105548838
If you have a decent phone you don't need one. Decent phone screen glass has 6-7 hardness. If its gonna get scratched/shattered by something there's nothing a cheap screen protector can do

>>105549106
it was a genuine question about the quality of the console and its games, I didn't mean to poke you

>>105549237
I'm not that anon and I don't even have a switch 2. I'm just tired of people who don't understand inflation.

>>105549215
One of the most notorious phone scratchers are dust particles/sand in your pocket. How is a screen protector not protecting your screen in that case? Yes, the protector might get scratched. But the screen underneath will remain protected.

>>105549479
you understand that wages can't keep up with inflation right?

>>105549495
>sand in your pocket
Are you Dale?

>>105549106

nta x2, but you'll also have to factor in real wages, interest rates and all that good stuff as well if we're going to talk about inflation

>>105545330
The yellow tape you're looking for is called kapton tape and there's listings up to 50mm wide on Ali. I would probably pick up some solder wick as well in order to clean up the pads after removing the dead socket. Also pick up a fat screwdriver, chisel, or well tip for your iron; you will want something with good thermal mass since a MOBO will act as a heatsink (obviously get a soldering iron if you don't already have one, you can use wick with a hot air station but you'd have a way easier time with an iron).

>>105549215
oh it's not for a phone

>>105548222
It's fine. I wouldn't really say it's worth $80 for 1 game, nah. I don't see myself paying that really.
I got the MK bundle so it didn't cost much more, but if MK itself was $80 I'm skipping it, even if I'm having fun with the game
It's tough though because Nintendo games don't really drop in price so if you want to play them you don't have much of a choice. I just figured I'd be getting it at some point anyway

This segregated bus game sure is a buggy piece of shit.

does temu have any real advantages over Ali?

>>105552048
At this point, not really.
They used to have really great bonuses to get people to their platform, but now most of those are meh.
Other than that it depends where you live. I very rarely find cheaper stuff on temu for very generic items, but other anons seem to have very different experiences, so depending on where you live it might be better or not.

>>105552048
Allows you to narrow your search by category, which can be handy if you want something in a specific colour, or your search terms are bringing up too many items which don't match (e.g. you want to buy some LEDs, but searching for LED gives you LED flashlights, etc.). On the other hand, Ali actually lets you use more than two words in searches without shitting the bed.
Price you see is generally price you pay, because everything is in the free shipping if you buy enough category. On the other hand, not hard to just select free shipping on Ali and their threshold for it is lower.
It's a side-grade at best, but sometimes the prices are better for specific items or there are items which are only available (or findable) on specific sites.
Generally speaking, quality seems about the same, prices fairly similar, and customer service basically identical (i.e. no problem if your issue can be resolved by algorithm, highly dependent on the individual chink's english language skills otherwise). Delivery time doesn't seem to differ. Temu has slightly less wasteful packaging if you care about that.
I like to shop for clothing on Temu because the search works better for that. Gadgets are generally easier to find on Ali. Often worth checking both for price comparison.

what can i expect from a 30 euro keyboard like this

i assume those are not cherry switches but knockoffs, are they still likely to be good?

>>105538302
Anyone have any advice about cheap MP3 players that are compatible with Rockbox available on aliexpress?

>>105552546
No one uses cherry switches anymore. There are better switches made by other companies; and worse, of course. These are of the latter kind, most likely. But if you are not a keyboard nerd -- and it is safe to assume you aren't -- you won't know the difference.
What to expect? A Keyboard. Probably wouldn't sound exquisite -- no case, no damping, no foam, nothing. May feel a bit flimsy -- again, no case. Layout is a preference, I don't like that one, but it's not me who's going to type on it. But what the fuck is that Fn placement?
Don't install software if it asks you and you'll be fine.
You can probably get something better from ali or so for about the same price, but you have to speak to keyboard nerds about that.

>>105552691
i see, thanks, i'm not a keyboard nerd and amazon is easy with returns so i'll just try it and see

how do returns on aliexpress work? is it easy?

>no case
by case you don't mean something to carry around the keyboard with but something the keys are embedded in? is that important?

i'm actually willing to probably spend tripple that just looking for a qwerty tenkeyless keyboard probably with blue switches

i would ask in the keyboard general but nobody bothered to make one

Bought a life size doll off Ali in an instance of temporary insanity.
She is soft, squishy and very heavy.

>>105552835
>how do returns on aliexpress work? is it easy?
You pay shipping back to China, the rest is easy. Unless thing is broken and you're in EU (I think), then they will give you a return label.
>by case you don't mean something to carry around the keyboard with but something the keys are embedded in? is that important?
By case I mean the housing, something that covers the internals of the keyboard. Here's mine. As you can see -- well, actually you can't see switches poking out. It's not necessary, but it adds a bit of structural rigidity (not required, it's a keyboard and not a car) and alters typing sound (for nerds).
>i would ask in the keyboard general but nobody bothered to make one
>>105529548

Why are the entire internet and especially normalfags now talking about Temu all the time? What happened to Ali? What is the difference?

>>105537547

And apparently also again after a long time.
Last time I ordered something was in 2021 and couple weeks ago when I returned I got the welcome deal again.

>>105553094
temu had a really aggressive marketing campaign a few years ago, especially on social media
like, i've seen TV ads for it but the social media ads were 10x more

>>105540268
>fortnine backdoor movie night

>>105553094
Temu had (has?) a huge ad campaign aimed at them. It works.

>>105553157
>>105553164
I see, so there's no real advantage over Ali and it's all just npcs getting played with once again

>>105553183
Temu is more user friendly with it's return policy, shipping is all together so it's less of a hassle to hit free as well as arriving together, price matching if the chinks drop the price after you buy for like 2 weeks, and also easier to find generic things. Ali has the brand name chinkshit, and is better for experienced chinkshit purchasers where you're looking for specific, non-standard things and trusted stores.

>>105553183
temu has games and promos running all year around. cashback usually higher as well for me

>>105553271
Good to know. Yeah I'm never interested in normalfag shit but rather electronics parts and hobby DIY stuff.

>>105553346
Sounds like it really is tailored for the mainstream then

>>105553360

No photos, put away most things already, but I describe what I've got, grouped by my interests:
>3d printing
Vacuum bags for filament. You know the kind if you print. Ten of them, came with a humidity cards and a plastic thing to lock them securely; but no giant ziplock to keep them in like previous ones. Look the same as previous ones I had, so quality wise they're probably similar. Hold vacuum alright, or not at all.
LED strip for the printer. I have A1 Mini, and light on that thing is absolutely anemic; it might as well not be there at all. This strip has nine LEDs, has to be glued on the x-axis and activated by a photosensor that covers original light, so can be controlled the same way stock one does.
>cycling
Mini Electric pump. Seems pretty decent quality-wise, LOUD AS FUCK, has all the adapters included. Yet to test it, but I have faith in it.
Did not test yet:
Tubeless repair kit -- hard to fuck up that one, it's a pointy stick with a handle.
CO2 pump -- again, hard to mess it. A thread, a valve and that's it. Never used one, but now I moved to tubeless it might come in handy.
Tire pressure gauge -- it is designed for cars, but I'm sure I have an adapter somewhere. Should help since small pump doesn't have one built-in.
>pc peripherals
Two 1m Type-C cables -- those are intended for my keyboard that I have at work. Cheap plain white cable, nothing more, nothing less. I wish it was slightly more flexible, but there's no way to know that while ordering. Not that bad.
Switch tester acrylic plates -- I have a ton of random loose switches from test sets that for some reason came without a plate, so are useless. Now I can put them in the plate and actually test.
2x3.5mm -> 1x3.5mm (4 pole) cable -- my audio interface has separate mic in and audio out; and headset I was looking at has a single TRRS jack. This cable would resolve that.

>>105553656
>misc
Belt(?) clip zip tie holder -- I have my doubts it will hold them too well, but we'll see
Safety bungee cord carabiner -- you're meant to tie it around the wrist and put some tool you really don't want lost on the other end, so when you let it go, it doesn't disappear in the bottomless pit. No idea why exactly I ordered it, I had some plans when I did, can't remember them now. Strange.
Toy (nerf) gun -- had to pad bundle deal with something, chose this double-barrel sawn-off. Looks fun, shoots for about 10m (parabolic), came with 20 darts and looks like a Borderlands gun due to being white-orange-green. Having fun as we speak.

>>105553646
You'd be surprised how little people care about stuff like that. It's also what makes me feel really uneasy when eating over at someone's place. Most put absolutely no fucking thought into what could possibly go wrong when cheaping out on kitchen shit.

>>105553737
I remember a scandal several years ago where a machine in a food processing plant was lubricated with a non-food-safe oil. And that's the stuff that they catch in Europe. In China, I'd bet that they'd choose the toxic, cheaper oil by default. At least the shit that gets exported to the West. I suppose, they have their own safety laws.

>>105553646
Are you one of the americans who think buying from amazon or your local hardware store means it's made in america?
If so I have bad news buddy.
Your choices are [china, low price] or [china, high price (due to paying a middleman]

>>105553785
typical retard take.
it's about probabilities.
if you buy kitchen shit directly from china without anyone checking that shit, it's almost guaranteed that shit will be as cost reduced as possible with whatever chemicals on it that get the shit done.

when you buy it from some store (not amazon) locally, they (usually) put higher effort in checking and controlling the shit they sell because their reputation is at stake. also, lawyers are really keen on dealing with local shops if they fuck up and don't check their shit. there's big money in that.
this doesn't mean that you're perfectly safe and could never get fucked with locally bought shit but again, the probability is way lower.

Thank you for the info, I was hoping I had waited long enough that 4K support would be a given on mid-range tablets. I also didn't know that looking up the CPU would have those specs, it's usually completely absent on specification pages for the device itself.

>>105553883
>typical retard take.
You keep buying your stuff anon.
All I can tell you is that you are a hypochondriac and fearmongering about a danger that is very limited. The whole "muh chinkshit is low quality and unhealthy" is a truism in here I get that, but it's largely wrong.
But I don't really care, keep paying the premium for local middlemen who sell you the same item from the same factory for 30% more.

>>105554028
What you have to do is to search for a SoC (cpu+gpu in phones/tablets) specs, and not the device itself.

Probably, I watched two youtube reviews and both mentioned the blur at the edges so I was prepared for it, I expected it to be clearer in the center and not quite that blurry on the sides. I don't have it optimally set up either which is the exact reason I wanted it to be small and portable. I mostly bought it to know if I wanted to get rid of my old ass TV and get a projector instead and I am leaning that way so it fulfilled it's purpose but I don't know how much I will be using it.

I have a wired 96% Machenike and quite like it, and they do make a wireless 60% version that's 34€. The only thing I can't speak for is the quality of the wireless connection and of the battery, but the brand is solid (it doesn't have QMK/VIA compatibility btw, if that's something you care about)

Got a $60 CO2 detector. There are much cheaper options but this one has a proper NDIR sensor and has good online reviews outside Ali.
Needs Wi-Fi connection and it sends data to the cloud so I'm now (willingly) on the chinese botnet. I could MAC filter it at the router but I don't really care. It works without Wi-Fi but can't be configured.
As for testing, this early morning I closed my window because of some loud bike asshole, woke up at 9 and it was like 1900 ppm (red zone starts at 1400), didn't expect it to rise so high in such a short time, I'll try closing my door and window tonight and see how high it gets.

I have the same printer, do you mind linking what led strip you got?

>>105557553
I made one myself with parts from AliExpress. That was also a lot of fun.

>>105555585
Kek, I only leave my house to buy some food.

i hopped off the train bros. no brainrot game bitcoin miners for me anymore, but i wish you all great luck and maximum credits.

>>105557597
Bigtreetech one. It's not the cheapest, but it has light sensor control, and I trust those guys -- got their build plate (cryogrip) and it's been fantastic. Sometimes I feel like it has _too much_ adhesion, and it's Glacier. I also have a frostbite, and I dread that thing -- supposed to have even stronger adhesion.

Nigga, you're going to die.

What other sites besides Aliexpress/baba are out there, or, how do I enhance my bootleg-fu to find bootleg manufacturers? I'm trying to track down bootleg Digimon devices, because I want to dissasemble one and work out how they work without ripping my own limited edition ones apart to do it. I'd rather work directly with the manufacturer so I can buy a bunch just in case I break them in the process. Ideally they'd come from the same factory as the originals.

>>105558298
>I'd rather work directly with the manufacturer
You do realize that would require you to buy 100s, if not 1000s at the time, right?

>>105558327
I could always sell the excess or give them out as gifts. Though, I've bought from alibaba before and some manufacturers will do lower amounts, and sometimes its just cheaper to buy the bigger bulk amounts. I just cant find bootlegs for this on there

>>105558238
That's how I usually sleep during winter and I'm still alive. You'd have to live in pic related for that to be dangerous

>>105558354
nta but just how many of these fucking things are you expecting to need to break before you "work out how they work"?
Why not just buy a genuine one from ebay or whatever and take care when disassembling it?
taobao/1688 would be my only other suggestion but regardless you're always gambling since it's unlikely the company making legit Digimon devices wants to get caught selling 'bootleg' ones to some rando online.

>>105558366
Ideally 0 lol

>>105552854
I hope you don't get fit of shame and end up hacking it to bits.

>>105558136
thanks, I don't mind paying a bit extra for the light sensor since it's its coolest feature. I'll take a look at the buildplates too, I wouldn't mind being able to keep lower bed temperatures and I'm thinking about trying to print PC

>>105554102
He's right though, stuff sold in brick and mortar shops will be more controlled and safer than what you buy direct from China.

>>105556352
>pic unrelated
Now I'm interested. Also, can you buy Adafruit stuff from Aliexpress or not?
>>105557615
I did the same for cheaper than 60$, used an MH-Z19C, useful doc at https://revspace.nl/MH-Z19B

>>105557165
another mitu for my collection

>>105558910
IIRC, that's the exact same sensor I used

>>105558910
I don't think you can buy Adafruit stuff, but pretty sure you can find clones/equivalents there.

>>105538121
what do you expect from the $30 projectors, they are pretty good for that price. i really like my $200 wanbo x5

>>105559343
looks like he bought a $60 one
the biggest issue with these new LED projectors is the brightness. my 720p projector is not bad on a 50" projected image but it quickly loses clarity and color the further it gets

>>105557210
>as for duolingo, you can get a cracked ad-free version with revanced manager or build your own with it
I'll have to look into that - if it's usable in such a way that you don't notice it's cracked then I'll install that for my parents. The brainrot they expose themselves to with those ads can't be good for them.

>>105558744
Brick and mortar shops will, "western" brands do spend some of their middleman profits on QA and safety inspections. Even then most of it will be the same, but if you blindly pick a random item, then fair enough, it's safer. But the shit you see on amazon? There's no brick and mortar shops for that, that's just a dropshipper who is sending you the same shit except now it costs 5x more.

>>105555664
>a game the devs actually bothered to finish and bugtest
ye that's nintendo games
>a game that actually came on the storage device
again nintendo games, the ones on gamekey card are third party games
>a game that didn't also require me to pay for an "upgrade" that consists of fixing the shitty performance and resolution on a new console when homebrew shows it can be done for free
you also get the advantages of switch 1 overclocking on switch 2 for free though, games with no update or patch running better on switch 2 are already documented. Not that i agree with the paid patches, especially given some games got free patches that in some cases do just as much
>and didn't want me to pay a subscription to use my own internet.
true, i blame tards paying for xbox live for that

>aiiiieeee tendie alert!!!!
i'm just saying it how it is, not my fault you have to act like a sperg cause red company did <thing> blue company or green company also did. In time you'll learn to not give your money to anyone and be a true idort

>>105557258
>I don't have it optimally set up either which is the exact reason I wanted it to be small and portable
If you have it set up at an angle and then you're using software to adjust it then you're going to get blur yeah. it should be clear in the centre at least though so that's what I find a bit strange. Blurry on the sides is inevitable unless you have it dead on but even then it shouldn't be abhorrently bad. Maybe the small+portable ones make a lot of compromises.

>>105555635
How do I know the good from the shit on AliExpress?

And what's the deal with anti-glare? Some advertise it, some don't. I can't imagine it does nothing but then I wonder if it's some coating that makes the screen look like shit


>>105551776
jej

>>105559343
I expect to be able to clearly see more than 40% of the picture lmao
>>105559787
I tried at multiple angles and distances, keystone correction off, the blur is there and too distracting to ignore. I read the setup guides lmao
>Maybe the small+portable ones make a lot of compromises.
They do and that's probably fine for most chink shit enjoyers, just not me.

>>105559940
Fair enough. I'm just surprised because I've tried cheap ass projectors and 40% clarity isn't an issue I had with any of them. Blurry edges, yes. Shitty resolution, sure. Shitty speakers, check. But just unfixable blur? Can't say I've come across it
Not that I'm doubting you or anything kek, like I said just surprised

>>105560114
Just to put a pin in it, for anyone looking for a $80 projector I would recommend it but for anyone looking for a projector I wouldn't recommend it.

Woooooo shipped

>>105557553
The highest I've measured is 1500-1600 ppm.
Probably much over 2000 and you are dying. Thougbeit slowly.

>>105560339
What's that, anon? What are you so excited about?

>>105517996
these work great for me.

>>105561661
Did you try them with a lot of torque? Can you estimate how much?

>>105561684
I would not know about torque.
but one of the large ones I used to secure a bike stand leg thing and the metal washer under the bolt split. so I guess quite a bit?

also, out of 5 pairs of wide toe shoes I ordered two already got refunded due to logistic issues. sad. but 3 more are coming soon.

Should I buy this to fix my neck problems?

Can you customize which e-mails ali sends you? It's nice to know when they shipped your order, but it feels like they send you one every fucking step of the shipping process.

>>105564133
definitely. should be some communication / notification settings tab

I'll post some of my favorite recent pickups from AliExpress.
This nose hair trimmer was like 2,50 Euro when I bought it last week. Put some machine oil on it to make it move smoother and it's super nice compared to scissors.

>>105564133
>>105564144
No, you can only turn on/off all order related e-mails.

>>105552854
H-how does she feel to cuddle?
a-a-asking for a friend, of course.

>>105564174
It was 1 Euro actually, 2,50 is the current price without ChoiceDeals. It seems everything increases about 80-150% in price after you revisit a listing a few days later.

These Zigbee and Philips Hue compatible EWELINK LED bulbs are phenomenal. An original Philips Hue bulb is like 30-40 Euro a pop, but these EWELINK ones work just as well and were only like 2,50 Euro last week. I've had four of them since last week and they all worked fine until now.
I did also get a generic "Zigbee Smart Lightbulb" with an E27 fitting, but that constantly loses connection to the Hue bridge, so I got a refund.
The e27 Ewelink ones all seem to work well though, so I ordered a few more.

>>105561938
>crank puller
>spoke wrench
Anon, sorry, but those are shit. I would know, I used the same ones. Be very careful, they can fuck up your bike. And next time take a look at icetoolz. Not crazy expensive, but very good quality.

>>105564222
This authentic Bandai SD Gundam kit was insane value for just 12 Euro. I also picked up an SD Sinanju, but the Unicorn was more fun to build imo.

>>105564244
I needed a glass file for the model kits, so I bought this 8-pack and gave like 4 to my mom. I used one on my pinky nail and now it's super shiny and reflective, kinda funny.

>>105564266
This hand drill + drill bits for 1,50 Euro was a steal. I needed one to fix a broken joint on one of my robot figures.
I bought some better quality drill bits though, but the ones that came with it aren't trash either

>>105564284
It took me a while to find a decent bicycle multi tool with a chain splitter, but this one arrived the other day and it feels solid. It was 4,70 Euro when I bought it, would recommend.

>>105564309
This headphone mount is awesome. Attached to my IKEA shelf with adhesive so it doesn't take up any space on the shelf's surface. Looks very clean IRL, and only 1 Euro.

surely, you can't be serious

>>105564266
yeah these files are real good. some goons sell them X10 the price on Amazon

>>105562102
cassette wrench needs to be slimmer so it fits between the gears, so a regular wrench usually won't fit.

Here's another great tool I got a while ago. It's a little brush to clean out the draining at the back of the inside of your fridge.
If you get water pooling at the bottom of your fridge this hole is likely clogged.
While you're at it it's a good idea to also dust the evaporator coils behind your fridge to make it run more efficiently.

>>105564457
>what's wrong with them?
Very soft metal, not very precise cuts. They can round your spoke nipples.
>you can't be serious
I am. Park Tool or Unior will sell you one (1) wrench for that price.
Maybe take a look at Topeak, they should be cheaper while still decent quality.

got some epic shit during the last months but ain't sharing, hehe fuck you .

>>105564813
I have the nova lite and especially for the price it's quite good. The only thing you should consider is that it has a rather small battery. No issue if you don't mind charging after each session (realistically more like 2-3) but if that bothers you, a bigger battery is worth it. I've done unemployed gaming marathon sessions with friends and it handled those so I don't care, but it's worth considering.

Are you ready for summer, /csg/?
>anons going outside

>>105566184
I always worry that shades that don't have the CE logo or whatever might do more harm than good. I read somewhere that some cheap sunglasses don't filter UV light, but only darken the image you perceive, relaxing your eyes and letting more damaging radiation reach your retina when without them you would have squinted.

Maybe that's bullshit though, idk.

>>105566387
UVC has a hard time getting through any plastic, so the most damaging part of the spectrum will be stopped by even cheap materials. UVA and UVB can still cause some damage though, so you may want to invest in some UV test cards, which are pretty cheap.

I don't know why the prices always increase after the first order, maybe I bought them via "Combo Blast" or whatever that mode in the app is called where you can't exit without losing your entire shopping cart. Stuff seems to be way cheaper that way though. If you can't find the cheaper prices, maybe download the app and try searching within that mode.


Pic related is a pretty cool dog toy my cat loves. Cat toys are usually too flimsy for him as he plays pretty rough, so these smaller dog toys are perfect.

This is my all time favorite wallet. Been using these for about 10 years now. They feel much more comfortable in your front pocket than the metal ones (like Ridge Wallet) as they're soft and lighter weight. It's also easier to access your cards, as you can just pull on the little strap and everything slides out the wallet easily.

I lost one running after a bus a few years ago, and ordered some extras so I'll always have replacements should they ever stop making these. Can't recommend them enough.

>>105566863
That's probably okay for a cat but I would never give that to a dog. Rope can kill them if they eat a big enough piece.

Captcha: YMYGSD

>>105567048
Damn, I never knew and had a dog for 14 years growing up.
Can it twist and tie their intestines or something?

>>105567326
>Can it twist and tie their intestines or something?
Yeah, a long piece can act kind of like a drawstring. Though even if it doesn't harm them, poop ropes aren't fun either.

It's not so bad if it's just a tug toy that they aren't allowed to chew up.

I'm a fat klutzy tard. I'm over it. Buying a dirt cheap chink phone next week and recycling this piece of shit.

why are you idiots using EUR in ali. USD is always cheaper unless your card has like 5% conversion fee

>>105568248
how dirt cheap are we talking

>>105568256
Under $300 since I don't want to spend that fixing a phone I already spent $700 on.

Poco F6 is pretty good. X6 too.

my newest phone was $100 on the dot. i don't think it'll ever get this cheap ever again so i'm dreading the next one

my fun conspiracy theory is that chinese mail centers donk and dink the package a few times to keep resellers in check

>>105568653
Ordered a new mouse from ali about a month ago (atackshark r1, not a big gamer, so can't tell anything on techs in it, but didn't like the shape at all), and look at how it arrived.

>>105569324
Maybe you'll like it more. I actually got three cheap mice to test shapes -- my beloved Roccat Kone Air Pro is discontinued, so I'm looking for potential replacements for when it inevitably dies.
Attack Shark R1 shape didn't fit me. But I must admit that the included charging cable is hands down the best I've had. So soft and flexible, you can use this mouse wired/while charging as freely as in wireless mode.
Ajazz AJ179 is not that bad, not bad at all.
VXE R1 I'm still yet to try -- giving every one of them a week and a half of use before moving to the next one.
