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.

Didn't know my ex was on aliexpress...

i took a chance at the lenovo gm02 pros from the bundle section for around $3.50 and...wow, impressive.
+very even and balanced sound
+no dropout
+game mode goes for just less than 5 hours
+lightweight
-mic is a joke
-case and buds are kind of big. no level indicator - it's just either has charge (blue) or doesn't have charge (red)
-lacks bass: there's just enough to fill the sound out but it's not going to be there if you like your music to sound colorful
-so many pointless lights

might buy another pair if it ever gets that cheap again

>>105571165
i'm finding so many discounted items that i want in the bundles section that for the past 3 months i've exclusively bought from it
the magic of chinese logistics

>>105571180
Yeah the bundle section is continuously expanding. Makes sense from a logistics perspective, and it brings us closer to the old days of cheap shit, so I'm all for it. Bundles definitely got me back into chinkshitting when I rarely partook anymore.

>>105571180
Right? I bought so much shit I don't need to pad bundle deal for what I actually want.

I'm guessing it's because for whatever reason, they don't want to do the calculations to include the orange retard's tariffs into the price, and they rather just ignore you as Aliexpress's automated system handles the rest.

is it possible to repair cheap chink watches?
they just stopped.

>>105576348
We need some info anon.
If it's a quarz watch, replace the battery - that's usually not hard, even on cheap watches. If it's not the battery, chances are you're fucked. They aren't electronically very complex, but the traces are so small it's a pain to repair.
If it's mechanical, probably not worth it unless you already know how to. Get a new movement and put that in the case. The movement alone is cheap usually.

>>105576453
Interesting, how hard would it be to install a mechanical movement on a quarz watch? The tiny batteries lasts like 3 months.

>>105576521
>how hard would it be to install a mechanical movement on a quarz watch
A mechanical movement is basically the whole watch, except for the case, in a self-contained package. It's popular to mix and match different hands and movements and stuff for some hobbyists.
It'll depend on if the case is thick enough to hold the movement and weight and if the hole at the side for the crown fits. honestly at that point, just buy a mechanical watch from aliexpress and be guaranteed it fits.
The batteries on a quartz watch, digital or analog, should last between 1-2 years usually. On the lower end if it has a chronograph functionality or auxiliary systems (mostly for the digital ones), on the higher end if it does not. Consider just getting solid batteries and putting those in. If it still discharges that fast, whatever watch you have has a shit circuit and should be replaced I'd say.

>>105576521

NTA, but it looks like an ESP32 with MH-Z19 sensor (CO2 sensor) and a bme280 (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure). I can't tell you exactly how that anon got the measurements to display because there's a lot of options with the ESP32 (you could display it on a screen connected to the ESP directly or you could have it displayed on a webpage for example), but I can provide you with some resources to get you started

The anon who posted it here. I'm currently at work, so I'm not 100%, but you're almost right. I think it's an ESP8266, since it's an older project and ESP32 were much more expensive back then. Today, I'd choose an ESP32. I think it's an BME280 or a BMP280, I remember I messed up and ordered the one with fewer features. I don't remember why, but to the left is also a DHT11 temperature sensor, but I think I just wanted to play around and compare the two sensors.
> I can't tell you exactly how that anon got the measurements to display
I can elaborate on that. At first, I had a virtual server on uberspace that ran influxdb and I pushed the data there. On the server, I used a grafana dashboard to monitor the development. I wrote a shortcut on my iPhone that would query the average of the last 10 CO2 readings and display them. Later, I modified the setup and made the ESP into an Apple home device. So, I had temperature and humidity or pressure (?) on the normal home screen, but for some reason, Apple only displays CO2 when it's above a certain threshold that you can choose. It will also show warnings when it gets too high, which is nice.
As for the soldering, I mounted everything on one of these prototype PCBs as you can see, and most connections are on the underside, using wires.

I was browsing Shopee Philippines yesterday and found a store that was selling all kinds of Xiaomi products that are meant for the domestic Chinese market. Not all of it has Xiaomi or the Mi logo stamped on it, and from what I can gather a lot of it used to be called Mijia but they discontinued that name. Anyway I decided to buy the fingernail clippers. 115 pesos shipped from a domestic seller in the Philippines. Ordered yesterday, arrived today. If it actually came from China I would only need to wait one week for it to arrive. Such is the chinkshit game when you live in Asia.

Anyway these are probably the best fingernail clippers I've ever used. They're designed so the clippings don't go flying over the place. Usually they get caught inside so you can just shake them out. It feels slightly more flimsy than the normal chinkshit clippers everyone is accustomed to. Hopefully they will hold up but if not I'd buy these again.

>>105579872
Bruh they sell these at Walgreens for like .75.

just ordered these little guys for around 2 dollars. review pictures look good, so im excited

>>105579887
There is no Walgreens in the Philippines. Also I can't remember the last time I was in a Walgreens and saw a Xiaomi product for sale.

>>105579713
Moondrop Edge. It's right at the edge of your budget, but I'm wearing mine as I type this post and use it over a set of Sony WH-1000XM5 since they're lighter and more comfy. The ANC isn't as good, and they're not as punchy on the bass even with the ANC on which is apparently required for them to sound their best, but the low latency gaming mode works well enough that they're my everything headset.

>>105579955
I have owned Philippine made products I like. Such as the Panasonic inverter fan that's blowing air on me right now, Samsung SD cards, and JVC Gumy ear buds. But sometimes the situation becomes downright retarded. It's cheaper for me to order a Philippine made Toshiba hard drive from China and import it back into the Philippines. The local market is full of fakes. The sheer volume of garbage and scams allowed on Shopee and Lazada means for a lot of products I purchase based on trust rather than the attractiveness of the price and it's a damn shame I feel like I can trust some overseas chinks not to rip me off more than I can domestic shippers a lot of the time.

>>105576453
its cheap ass choice watch
i cant open it, there is no latch or screws it seems to be glued.
it was only $5 but it still sucks.
i wanted to buy those casio fakes but i fear they will get the same fate
so best option is just build your own watch or something?

>>105580541
>i cant open it, there is no latch or screws it seems to be glued.
i doubt its actually glue, can you post a photo or link?

>>105580541
>there is no latch or screws
Plenty of watches that you open with neither screws nor latches. Do post the backside of it, so we can have a look.
Usually it'll be rotating the backside, which you may need tools for to do (you can usually improvise it but that risks scratching)
>so best option is just build your own watch or something?
If you're considering casio fakes then you don't seem to care about mechanical movement, what you need is a decent quality quartz watch. Just don't get a bottom of the barrel one and put in a decent battery anon. Digital or analog, both will work just fine.

wanted to buy an external gpu for my handheld for desktop setup.

But before doing it decided to try this tiny card.
it costs something like 15-20$ oculink cable included.

works great for me

>>105580885
whats a good price range for cheap but functional chink watch?

>>105581184
Yeah that's not looking like one you have to turn.
Some watches you have to pry open, so if you look at it from the side, see if there's some sort of place to do so (you usually need a very thin tool or screwdriver). Picrel shows the process.

I'm not in the super low pricing areas personally, so maybe some other anon can give you better advice (I'd have to make guesses basically).
For the upper limit, a _good_ automatic mechanical watch is around 40-45€. That's about the price of a timex weekender (proper brand, but a quartz watch), except it's an automatic with a reliable movement.
My gut feeling is around the 10-15€ mark for a digital or analog quartz with no additional features (for the analog one, the digital can have those features with little additional cost, I'm thinking aspects like a chronograph, maybe even a date dial).
But I don't doubt if you don't need a chronograph you can get a good one for less.
Watches are very subjective in the end after all, so you should make sure you actually like how it looks.

Hell a genuine casio f91w is something like 15€ and will probably last you a decade or more - if you don't mind how it looks.

>>105568690

waist fan
I like the knob adjustment and having a usb-a out, but it's louder than I thought it would be. in a quiet environment it's not very usable, it whirrs loudly. the other small fan I bought that's more standard is also loud. not sure if it's the motors or what.

I got it for 10€ from coins page, and while it is loud, it also moves A LOT of air on higher settings (and I like that speed is adjustable with the knob, but it's not 1% increments it's 3 point steps so 1-4-7-10 but it goes up to 150 so it's plenty enough. for being outside or working or cycling I bet it's the bomb. or for making a fire. also has a small flashlight that's works in a pinch, a little stand in one of the clips so it can blow on your face while on the table, neck strap included, and usb out. though it's not very heavy so capacity is probably not that big, advertised 5000mah. charges with 10w, came discharged, and the instruction said to cycle the battery 3 times for best results. think it might have two 18650 cells and I remember when buying them some of them also say to do that, so maybe it's okay.
not sure how much it gives off with the usb-a cause it's gonna be charging a while. I'll probably update later.

right on time cause it's 34c today.
for the price I think it's okay.

>>105581606
Anon please enlighten me the fuck is a waist fan
Do you like strap it into your pants to cool your balls?

you can, but usually you strap it to the belt, strap your t-shirt over it and it blows air fr below

That makes a lot more sense I suppose. I hope you enjoy yours.

>>105581660
thanks.
though one of the things I wanted it for I can't use it cause it's too loud even on minimal, but it will still be helpful to have outside.
maybe when biking too

>I need something similar to the quality and design

Pick one.

Just got back from China bros
Getting chinkshit straight from the source is something fucking else dudes, like actually snorting coke compared to smoking crack. I bought a whole luggage case just to carry all the clothes I bought
The purchasing power of the dollar is pretty intoxicating when buying the same shitty chinkshit on AliExpress for 2 dollars. The same thing goes for like 5 chink bucks on Taobao, which is under a dollar. Taobao and JD deliver to hotels so you don't even have to leave the building to get your chink shit.
The actual flea market buildings are nuts too. I don't understand how so many small vendors all sell the same shit on the same massive floor. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g294212-d3318954-Reviews-Bairong_International_Flea_Market-Beijing.html

alright i tried a little CO2 experiment
(i'm not the anon who posted the meter but i have one too)
i sealed up my basement dwelling ways a little bit.
a steady 1000-1500ppm for the past couple days (only leaving to fetch food).
i was fucking nauseous today. felt like i was on the verge of passing out.
opened the windows and felt better almost immediately
so yeah don't do that

>>105583011
the clips are unfortunately plastic, and the front one isn't very good, but I already modded it by putting some tape around where the clip connects so it holds the t-shirt stronger. seems pretty nice so far. it is bulky though but it does throw a lot of air. hopefully battery is pretty big. not sure how much the knob adjustment was needed maybe I should have gotten similar one but with metal clips, might be a better idea for anons that are looking.

>>105583344
though, it is very convenient to adjust the nob through the clothes. don't have to bother

guys, I want to ask you something
you're not actually racist, right? like I call it chink shit but I don't have anything against the chinese people really
is this like autism moment? cause I'm pretty sure non 4channers would react poorly if you talk about recent cool "chinkshit" I bought. so I just say Chinese things, but is it more on me being autistic or do they have something there, philosophically speaking?

>>105584690
>you're not actually racist, right?

>>105584690
Anon I'm basically singlehandedly funding chang's kids and grandkids their college with my buying of chinkshit and probably responsible for a doube digit percent of the increase in wealth in his area. I don't know many racists who actively help the other race.
Think of it as a form of affirmative action.

>>105584721
I basically grew up on 4chan and 2000s internet. I haven't considered it before, dropping gamerwords every day but I literally have nothing against black people for example.
but outside people act like you're literal Hitler. I'm just trying to figure out who's more reasonable and if I'm delusional

>>105584751
pretty sure whole world is stimulating Chinese economy, but like I never met a Chinese person even.
I love all the cheap shit though. I love that by picking well you can save big dollars and still get good product.
I don't love them limiting their phones for global market though. domestic Chinese phones are so good.

>>105584843
You seem to be genuine anon, so I'll try to explain.
Old 4chan and 2000s internet used a lot of slurs and other "no-no" words. I'd argue that a lot of the use of them however was not targeted or hateful - I know it wasn't ever for me. These days sensibilities have changed such that most people do not think this is acceptable. Fair enough - I don't use them IRL or with friends that aren't from the same internet culture.
The argument for banning the words is that even without negative intent they can still hurt - if for example you are a black guy and everyone keeps saying nigger to you - even if for the sake of argument it's not in a derogatory way - it's still othering. You feel like you are "different" through no fault of your own. Insofar the people who say not to use these words have a point.
At the same time, it can be a socially connecting experience. In my IRL friend circle we have a lot of usage of terms that wouldn't be PC, and everyone gets it equally. One is a nerdy pasty white guy so he gets the occasional statement about that, another is of turkish heritage, so jokes in that way. Another is serbian, so jokes about thievery or a bad taste in cars are common, I'm disabled, so plenty of cripple jokes.
My opinion is that if it's a community that has this specific tone - and that community is opt-in, such as a friend group or a website - then that's fine, you know what you're getting into. Within that community, this usage of words is socially connecting, you're showing you're "one of the group". Just don't bring it outside the group, or be prepared to get strange looks.
Chinkshit, Chang and chinking are not acceptable terms IRL and I wouldn't use them IRL. They are just shorthand for group concepts within this general pretty much.

>>105583130
We salute your retardation, anon.

>>105584962
>even without negative intent they can still hurt
but it's never good to base your self esteem or wellbeing on other people's opinions. and people ARE different, there differences are what makes things interesting. trying to pretend everyone is the same is actually more racist I think, but it would make more sense if you take sexism as example. women are weaker physically and it's a difference and that's okay to acknowledge that, doesn't mean they're less, so someone being another race doesn't mean they're less either. cultural differences, when positive, could be celebrated.
I guess it's a bigger issue when they're negative or just so different it's hard to coexist.

>community
yeah I guess I understand. and I guess if I heard someone say chink irl is assume he wasnt very fond of the Chinese, even though if I would say it I would not mean anything by it. words are words and ultimately being offended by something is completely on the person getting offended, and you can't and shouldn't stifle people's expression for it.
as well as when someone is actually of harmful intent, making them not say some words isn't going to change their thoughts or actions or intent. it would be better with honesty I think because then you can easier tell who's who.

with friends of course it's a lot different, it's nice to have understanding and joke around about "sensitive" things without anyone getting hurt, because after all nothing can hurt you if you don't let it.

thanks for reply, anon

>>105583130
for what fucking reason? you literally almost darvin'd yourself, hypoxia is no joke

>>105584843
You can be racist without wanting to see all X people hang nor being able to be personable with individual members of those groups. For example, I fucking despise Chang scientists and the damage they've done to the ability to trust peer reviewed papers that I use for work, as well as the majority of them being absolutely insufferable to work with in the labs I've been at, but at the same time, I've worked with a couple who were fine dudes. I just refuse to trust anything that comes out of China's academia and adjacent industries, especially things in the bio-pharma circles such as targeted antibodies for ELISA and other analytical methods, all the more if I don't have a trusted way to verify the results for the first runs. The same applies to all the chinkshit I order where I know I'm taking a risk, and there's certain things I wouldn't trust Chang to do because there's a non-negligible chance he's going to fuck me over in ways that are beyond my ability to discern and aren't worth the potential damages, such as cookware. However, that doesn't preclude me from buying cheap chinkshit for things that I don't view as important, as well as spending on some of the more trusted chinkshit brands like Moondrop, Wurkkos, and FlyDigi for example.

There's different levels of racism, but you're on 4chan, and while thankfully the Stormfront larpers largely keep themselves to /pol/ these days, especially since so many of them have gotten laughed out of the rest of the site for simping for Russia, this is a natural congregation point for people who want to be honest in ways that are unacceptable on social media.

>>105585104
but is that racism really? it's just being rightfully upset by an immortal practice. most corporations and the whole medical industry is guilty of fabricating research and taking bribes to make a product seem good.
maybe there is a line that separates racism with just taking potentials and statistical probabilities based on known information, no matter how nice of a person you are, at some point you have to take things that happen often into account, I guess what makes a difference there is understanding that it's a a possibility like many other and not a thing to generalize an entire race of people over.
complicated.

>women are weaker physically and it's a difference and that's okay to acknowledge that, doesn't mean they're less
A way I've seen it explained that made sense to me is that as a white dude I rarely get attacks _because_ I'm a white dude.
If I fuck up people call me retard, or faggot or shit like that. As a woman, you very much get attacked due to you being a woman, the things you get called are "whore" "slut" "bimbo".
It feels different and more targeted I suppose. I can stop being dumb, but a woman can't really stop being a woman.
And it's good to keep in mind that people are different and react to stimuli differently. As I said I'm disabled and I don't mind some disability jokes here and there directed at me. But what I don't mind might break others - I've met people who also were disabled for whom this was a very very sensitive subject.
The TL;DR if you legitimately have autism is try to limit the harm others get from your speech - unless they opt in, at which point it's their decision. Better to air on the side of caution IRL and with strangers, then with people you are closer to imitate the "heat" of the group. If they make non PC jokes, you're free to do the same. If not, better not to be the one who starts, any autism or asbergers makes the chance of you being wrong in your assessment of the group too high for comfort.

>>105585157
>Is instantly distrusting something because you see a Chinese name attached to it racism?

Yea, it is. Some people like to try and make it sound more acceptable by calling it racial awareness and other made up terms, but fundamentally, it's racism and making assumptions based on a stereotype. The big thing that most people who're bashing racists don't like to address is that while you have plenty of people who're incapable of changing their mind about an individual member of X group, substantially more are decent people who let past experiences with a group set their initial expectations for interactions but aren't so up their own ass that they're incapable of recognizing when an individual is behaving outside of those expectations. The classic example is the black man vs nigger distinction.

how much should I be paying for a 1tb microsd

>>105585482
70-90 bucks. Don't buy chink cards. Get samsung or sandisk.

>>105585211
yeah but getting offended and upset by it is a choice, and choosing to get upset is more damaging to you than any word anyone could ever call you.
not sure if I have autism but I try to be polite irl always, just a thought.

>>105585251
yeah that makes sense.
also humanity as a whole has insane issues with stereotypes and things like that.
the whole gender ideology is a worship of sexist stereotypes to an insane level.
everyone's brains are just too stereotype oriented. I wonder why.

>>105585544
>yeah but getting offended and upset by it is a choice
That's a bit of a philosophical question of how many of our choices are truly choices. Does it really count a choice if you can't choose the alternative? Surely there's some people who get offended and could choose not to - but there's also those for whom it is involuntary. It's rarely as simple as "simply don't let it get to you" in the real world, insecurities, past experiences, socialization in childhood, there's so many aspects that are pretty hard to change eventually.
But I do understand what you are saying and yeah it'd be probably be a better world if people just gave less of a shit. The reason I (and you) care less is due to out socialization, so it's not like most people couldn't do it if we set up systems for it.

>>105585608
well it sort of is and also isn't.
being offended by something means you value their opinion as something more than it is, and being too sensitive about that opinions impact on you.
it being involuntary means you're just not of a healthy mindset and don't have your impulses and mental state figured out. though there are few who truly do.
it's not about not caring it's about taking things at value. and letting your past experiences of upbringing means you haven't taken it under your own control yet.
having insecurities, getting hurt, just tells you where you need to direct your effort to improve your mental state. it's helpful, when you think about it. an opportunity.
there is no growth without adversity, and if you remove all adversity there will be only stagnation.

>>105585772
>though there are few who truly do.
That's the central point - the person you describe should be all of our goals, but few people come close to it. I don't believe we should make our rules around the ideal but the reality and that is that most people can't handle it.

Anyways, back to discussing chinkshit.

>>105585794
it's good to strive for improvement

hopefully my shoes will arrive tomorrow

I bought hobibear barefoot shoes the other day and have been walking in them for the past few days.
The main thing I've noticed is that the soles are thin and you can feel the pavement as well as sticks or anything else on it too which makes it a bit mentally stimulating when I am on my incel walks.
If I've been walking for more than 30 minutes I can feel it in my soles, calves and thighs.
I didn't have to relearn to walk but I don't wear shoes inside my house unlike an American.

>>105575065

How do you decorate your living spaces with chink stuff?

>>105579872
oh yeah, I got the same and they're phenomenal.
I have like 8 sets of nail clippers (need them for my job) and the Xiaomi ones cut very cleanly and with no effort required.
I wish they had different color options for the plastic though

>>105584690
I discovered 4chan in 2008 as a white 13yo, and used to go along with the slurs like everyone else here. I left the site for a good decade around 2014 and only came back around a year ago.
I almost completely stopped using slurs since, and I think it's kind of cringe people who don't think of themselves as racist still use them here, just to fit in with the lingo.
A lot of genuinely hateful people seem to have tried taking over this site since 2015, and imo the world would be better off without them.

I think 'retard' and 'faggot' are still fine though, as I don't feel those words were ever even intended as slurs for the groups we're now trying to protect by avoiding them. At least it never felt that way in the 2000s.

Anyway, racism is cringe, misogyny is justified, fuck conservatives, read Chomsky.

>>105587123

>>105587197
it's not to fit in, it's just what the words are just words.
and faggot means a bundle of sticks because they used to burn gays
it's also just a word to me even though I'm gay. though I never been called that for it so I'm not sure how it would even feel different from any other insult

how can i test cookingware for harmful chemicals?

mom buys ton of temu shit and i need to be sure we are not poisoned by chinks.
its mainly just spatulas, small gadgets for strawberries and cherries, spoons and small containers or plastic covers

>>105587233
Idk about testing but I've had a philosophy of only using wooden spatulas, enamelware and stainless steel pots, and glass and ceramic for cups, ever since I was a wee lad.
I got into this way of thinking because water and cola from plastic bottles/cups always tasted weird, so I intuitively stuck to more traditional materials for anything kitchen related.

If you take good care of your stuff you'll only really have to buy once and have it for the rest of your life probably. A lot of my pots and pans are inherited from my grandparents who mostly bought them in the 70s.

Should be safe enough, and looks more a e s t h e t i c to boot.

part1
bike bottle strap (no bolt edition cause don't have any on the frame) seems decent
https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExuVWVY

and a new phone phone cooler
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvlKc8q
which is a lot lighter and thinner than my old one, and more powerful.
compared to the BING WANG, it has very very thin radiator fins, it's a lot smaller, and the cooling area is small, but it's light and it's 9-12w depending on the setting, and RGB can be turned off. magnets in it are also weaker.

by comparison BING WANG is big, bulky, heavy, has a fuck off heatsink with a large area, but is only 7w and changing the settings only modulates fan speed so it's always 7w, and you can't turn off the RGB.

I did some throttling tests and in a 24c room the new fan on max speed managed to stabilise at around 37c, and old one was on a 40+ trend and I forgot about the test so it stopped.
all in all, it's good.

>>105582400
Having to learn chinese makes this offer way less appealing though

>>105591695
part2
made a lot better than I expected for 10-15€, unfortunately should have got one size bigger, though I used the measuring thing from each seller, and my toes don't hit the front, but the downwards curve of the shoe hits the upwards curve of the big toe when I walk so it adds some pressure.

green ones I'm not going to re order, because the sole is a bit curved upwards on the front, and because the little cloth strap design things on the front, actually rib uncomfortably on the inside, so it's not for me. shame, I liked the colour combo and design for these.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzKR3GS

white ones are very light and breathable, comfortable, sole is the straightest of them all and pretty wide box, I like them, will order one size larger. they also have a little reinforced insert on the front not to rub through with the finger nails, about a thumbs width of it. laces are flat and strong.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EulHcF8

the dark ones are slightly different nose shape and slightly narrower, so they were more comfortable with the sizing issue, but still will have to replace for a larger one.
they are a lot more padded and warmer, reinforced part is a lot smaller but is there. laces are round and have a very very slight stretch to them. I really like the design of these.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJzT9Lu

the soles on the green and the white seem the same, and the dark ones are a bit different pattern and slightly stiffer rubber, but all of them are really flexible still.
iits pretty thin so on the rubber colored ones you can see the light shine through.
insoles all seem similar and a bit of foam.

I can recommend the white and dark type ones, even if they only last a season I think it's worth it, though I think they would last longer.
I'm going to send them all back and order larger ones, as well as another faux leather pair for rainy weather that got cancelled due to logistics issues.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJF1p9M

>>105593022
another pair that got cancelled was this, though I don't think I'll need them but they were the lightest of them all and the cheapest (7euro)
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ewd7VTC

also a question to anons. basically pic related is around how much space I have between the big toe and the edge of the shoe, so only issue is the big toe really, and when I "grab" the floor with the toes and curve it more flat-downward, it's alright, but when my foot is relaxed, my toe is a bit upward pointed and it rubs on the upper front part of the shoe where it curves downwards to meet the sole.

do you think one size up will be enough? around 0.5cm difference, or do I go two sizes up? feels like it would be too much to go 2 sizes up.

I measured my foot like they have a guide for and it came up to 28.5cm, so I went with that on their size table.

>>105592889

>>105593084

I was looking at Razers but I heard Razer products aren't the best quality

>inb4 pick other chink shop

>>105593144
What do you play on your phone so demanding it requires an active cooling?

>>105593148
> heard Razer products aren't the best quality
Probably still better than what you'll find on temu.

>>105593448
literally anything that's 3d, if you want to play at 60 or more FPS.
phone form factor can radiate maybe 4watts of heat, all the gacha stuff, shooters, almost everything is either slightly higher draw than that or significantly higher, especially if you want higher settings.
you really can't play games without throttling, and throttling sucks.
though thermal mass of the battery and screen can let you play 15-20 minutes till that point, but I wouldn't consider that actually gaming.

also some emulators, like the switch, can really push the hardware. I think on my F6 botw pushes it to 10watt.

>>105593448
genshin was like the benchmark game a few years back for phone temp monitoring and performance. a lot of coomer gacha is 3d nowadays.
then there's like mobile esports games which'll cook your phone if it's not up to snuff

>>105594014
phone performance has gone up so much in the past decade that the passively cooled format is really not cutting it anymore. phones need to start putting active cooling and more cooling minded features like thermally conductive backs and cases that can have some heatsink elements.

even for things like shooting video. 4k will heat up your phone like a motherufcker.
fast charging too. and wireless? that's just murder. that's why wireless charging is still like 25w and wired is 120.
you can't do fast wireless charging with passive cooling.

I need a pcie wifi card for my shitbox upstairs. Any reason I shouldn't grab one from aliexpress instead of getting one local (tp-link and such)? Is there some obvious downside that I'm ignorant of? Ali has a bunch of options around 5-10 euro, while local shops pretty much start at 30.

>>105594354
Do you trust Chang with every bit of data that flows through that computer, since it's almost certainly going to have a backdoor in it that's phoning home to China?

Bought a pair of pic related because i saw a couple of videos recommending them for le minimalism barefoot meme.
All the shoes i buy are EU size 43, i am very picky because my right foot is more like size 42, so i didn't expect these to fit.
These fit like size 42 even though the insole says size 43.
The build quality is very chink - glue marks are very obvious, some material edges have folds, the outsole is goopy at the tip, but overall it doesn't feel like they are falling apart.
The insole cant be removed, but it isn't bad. i was expecting it to be flat, but its a little raised on the heel. The toebox is no bigger than any generic shoes you'd find. The outsole is very rubbery and flexible which i like (i had shoes with hard outsole and they snapped in half, letting water in). The laces are positioned forward which seems less secure, but the thin material wraps around my foot so my heel isn't slipping out (by far the biggest issue i have when looking for shoes).
I'm gonna order another pair that is a size bigger. These have potential, if i buy another for 14 eur and they fit well, i'm better off than buying 30 eur shoes locally that probably won't last more than a year.

Is there a better deal or controller? I want lag-free wireless to USB A and I want to be able to play on my switch if I have to.

>>105595256
Personally I never liked the 8BitDo's ergonomics. It's not atrocious, but I find the "arms" to be too straight.
A gamesir nova will cost you about 20$, so that's worth looking into if you care about saving money. The downside of the nova is a smaller battery - depends on your usecase if that matters to you. And yes the nova has all the same connectivity you need, 2.4 ghz and USB, works with android, switch, pc, linux, ios and whatever the fuck else you need.

>>105595410
The nova light? I might give it a shot, thanks.

>>105595562
Yeah the light. It's very good for the price, though I don't doubt that 8bitdo is also really good - I don't like the ergonomics on them, but a lot of people (such as the guy who owned the one I tried out) didn't seem to mind at all.

Anybody got a rec for a website for protected 18650 cells, shipping to the US?

Looking for standard button top cells with overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent protection. Total capacity or max instantaneous current isn’t too important for my application (mostly outdoor ESP32 projects). Just want to make sure I dont burn my apartment down when I take them in to recharge. My ideal would be something like qty 8, 1500-2200 mAh genuine Sanyo cells for a couple bucks each, but I don’t know if I’m being too picky or not. I’m completely uninterested in anything like a SuperUltraMegaHouseFire unprotected cell with “9000” mAh capacity.

Where do you guys get your cells from?

what kinda strategy is advertising that a product i wanna buy will cost 10 bucks less on 16.06.

>>105594354
I've gotten several M.2 and some USB adapters off of Ali without issue. As long as you know what chip you're getting it's fine.

>>105594489
I doubt they're backdooring wifi cards. They don't even make most of the chips. If anything, they'd probably do it the easy way and backdoor the included driver.

>>105598480
As long as the amount of people who would just have browsed but will now buy it on 16.06 because of the sale and fomo is higher than the amount of people that would have bought it regularly, it's good advertising.
It also helps reduce resentment among customers who feel slighted if they buy something and the next day it's cheaper.

Recommendations for a radio?
Mostly FM, big bonus for rechargeable battery.
I've heard the name Tecsun PL-330 thrown around a lot but it's a bit pricey for something I'm rarely going to use outside of emergencies.
(Unless it's some robust thing that will last long enough for me to pass on to my children.)

>>105597673
From the local electronics store. Online one, but no international shipping.

>>105599646
It's pretty robust, but it also works with AM (which you want for emergencies), SW (if you want to listen to some genuine schizos), and LW (no idea what that is, but sure). I would also advise looking at PL-310, because it can run off AA batteries, which, again, you want in case of emergency.
There's also Retekess which is pretty decent, but can't give you a rundown on their models.

>and I want to be able to play on my switch if I have to.
2C lacks Switch compatibility and doesn't have a gyro. There's a version that does ("Bluetooth" instead of "Wireless"), but it has significantly worse latency.
Flydigi Direwolf 3 is the best budget controller for your criteria with full compatibility, but it's never $30-or-under for the US anymore. Gamesir Nova Lite is best bang for buck, but also lacks gyro despite having Switch input and its dongle latency may be noticeable.

Any poorfags use Fifine microphones?

I used a fifine k669 microphone and then gave that to my dad on father's day.
I feel like Fifine may have released some newer and better microphones later on.

I'm looking at their newer products and so far it seems that it is RGB stuff but at least the cables can be detached now.

Are their "gaming" stuff with RGB slapped on as good or better than the k669 I used to use?

>>105603861
>Any poorfags use Fifine microphones?
Yes, but I'm a shit person to ask because I don't get all the stuff that audiophiles say makes a microphone good. I can usually hear the difference side by side, but absent that comparison I'm clueless and anything remotely okay will be good enough for me.
Better hope some other anon has good suggestions, but personally I'd rather get a worse microphone than one with RGB, even if that's cheaper. The idea of a glowing microphone on my desk would drive me mad.

>>105603167

What specific fifine microphone do you use?
I'm looking for a good budget mic with detachable connection wire and no RGB preferably.

any reccs for some big bulk over the ear headphones? basically want them shits to look like pic related, but no mic.

What 1tb nvme drive should I buy to upgrade my 256gb one for a laptop from the core i7-9750H era?

>ordered $80 of items on 3rd
>items arrive today
>go online to click item received confirmation buttons
>see new prices would come to $65

In the market for enclosures, the brand doesn't matter right? this one looks cool

>>105607150
most if not all RGB mics can turn the lights off
i bought that zealsound mic and you hold mute for 3 seconds and it becomes a totally dark mic

>>105607150
I think it's a fifine K669.
It's nothing fancy, but it's good enough quality that I can just have it on my desk while in a voice chat with friends and it would be good enough for a casual voiceover.
If I planned on using it in career related areas, I'd get a better one, but it's certainly good enough that if I were to record something and put it online, noone would complain about audio quality (though noone would notice it as particularly outstanding either).

Could anyone recommend an art pen for me please? I want to get into drawing so I'd quite like to get an A5 size plain notebook and a pen (or maybe several pens) to start drawing.

Thank you

None from AliExpress

Finally I have an adapter for torque wrench I bought 8 years ago.
Also fuck shimano's aluminum screws!

My Lenovo thinkpad's power supply has developed some kind of issue. Is it worth risking Ali or Temu for a replacement, better to use ebay or Amazon, or worth the expense of actually buying straight from Lenovo?

>>105609304
Not Chinkshit, but for amateurish scribbling, I recommend the Mitsubishi pencil company's UniBall air series. They are absolutely phenomenal for both writing and drawing, last ages, don't break easily, and aren't too pricey. The only issue is that they don't write as reliably onto slick surfaces as even a basic ballpoint, but that's not a problem for artwork.
Also, do not get hung up on tools. Some of the best art in the world was made by cavemen drawing on rock walls with sticks dipped in dirt. Mechanical pencil, ball-point pen, and any convenient bit of paper is plenty good enough for developing skills. Cheapness, convenience, and durability are your main considerations, because actually carrying them in your pocket and drawing frequently will be way more important than getting slick lines and sharp contrast.

>>105609927
Amazon and eBay is the same shit. You'd be best of buying from a reputable chink brand (like ugreen)

>>105609927
Just get a decent 65w+ usb-c charger from ugreen or baseus or whatever (and a usb-c adapter if you have an older thinkpad)

>>105600093
They are generally a pretty good match for the Chinese sizes, hit-and-miss with converting those to other standards. Best to measure your feet, figure out what Chinese size you are and order that.

>>105609927
What previous anon said. I use UGreen 65w charger on my T480

It's not worth it anon. If you absolutely must, water until you get double rewards from a purchase, then buy bundle shit via that menu.
But even then, any good item will mysteriously "be out of stock" the second you get there, or be released "later" and then be out of stock within a second of release. Don't be a dumbfuck and spend money on shit you wouldn't otherwise have bought to get water, it's not worth it.

>>105611088
>water until you get double rewards from a purchase, then buy bundle shit via that menu.

i had no idea there is stuff like that how do i go through that?

>>105611238
It pops up around once a day when you water enough pretty much.
The bundle thing should be a normal mission you have.

any reccs for a chink knock off that completely replicates the airpod max or comes close? the big ear cushion/pad looks really comfy. 400 dollars is kinda nuts tho

>>105612401
From what I've heard they're actually really heavy and uncomfy.

>>105607386
Not tried them, but earmor C51s seem to have a detachable microphone, so you could just leave it off. They don't have the cool steel headband though. I have tried their in-ear hearing protection and it's OK, not amazing but better at cutting out background noise than my Sony noise-cancelling over-ear headphones.

>>105612401
Found these, which seem to be copying the aesthetic:

tube, maybe 2, multitool, small bike lock, patch kit, some cable ties, tyre levers (?)

did some research and apparently rockbros stuff is decent, i found this one i like the look of
https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005008644059253.html
they have a similar looking frame bag too

>>105613567
Not sure how would you fit even a small lock in a bag that's under 1L, but everything else would easily fit into the tool roll -- if you have latex tubes.
I went tubeless this year, and it's been (almost) great.

>>105580541
Have you considered spending $15 on a real Casio? They last the rest of your fucking life if you just replace the battery every 5 years

i'm thinking of something really small like pic rel. something to secure the bike for 5 mins when grabbing a drink from a store so that the local bums don't just drive it away.
>toobless
i just got back into biking after like 10 yrs so for the moment i'll stick to what i know lol. i'll probly try trubeless in the future since i got myself a gravel bike and lower tyre pressure would be a great benefit in terms of comfort.

>>105595776
It was 100% cloned. Honestly if they do that to your laptop you should throw it out, since they probably installed a motherboard backdoor.

>>105613567
There are actually a fair number of superlight 5-min locks, but you should do your research and at least NOT pick something that can be broken in 5 seconds. Aliexpress locks are basically going to be worthless and more than likely broken by someone just yanking the bike hard enough. They might not even notice it was fucking locked.

>>105613717
> for 5 mins when grabbing a drink from a store so that the local bums don't just drive it away
Take a look at Hiplok Z Lok, I have one exactly for that reason. But I also live in a very safe city, so it's enough.

>>105613717
I know it's annoying, but stay away from combination locks.
Your goal for the lock is to just be enough that someone can't be opportunistic - for wire or steel reinforced zipties you need a multitool or snips. For a combination lock all you need is to know how to decode them - which even a retard like me knows. No tools required.
So even if carrying a key is annoying, it's worth it.

Then again, if you're in a relatively safe place and it's visible, chances are the thief won't want to spend the time decoding.
I have a similar lock like yours (picrel) which I use to secure my helmet and backpack to a post when I'm swimming in the local lake. Just enough security that someone can't simply take my backpack with him, but I'm under no illusion that if someone wanted this would hold them back a minute max.

For you bike, just carry a ulock or chain lock wrapped around the seatpost. That way it'll actually protect it since it's far more valuable. And no combo locks for those.

>>105613478
is alibaba like a proxy or does it ship automatically to my address

>>105613717
bruh.
you can rip that with your bare hands.
even 10mm cables can't be ripped easily by tanning in the bike.
you might as well not have anything.

i'm not a bikefag but isn't combination better or just as good as a key?
how many key teeth variants / complexity would any lock ever have? not much i assume, which means it's as likely for an opportunistic bike thief to carry keys or pick the lock as it is for them to fiddle with a combination for minutes on end.

hello chinkshitters, haven been long in this thread

does anyone have info about this new EU tax shit? what if the chinkshit is shipped from an Eu warehouse?

>>105615470
combo licks are easier to break. physically. it's a moot point when talking about non certified locks. an electric screwdriver with a drill bit can open those.
for everything else there are bolt cutters and angle grinders. if you want your bike not to be gone you have to get a thick ulock that's certified
and it needs to be well weather sealed or it will rust and you'll have to hire a guy to cut it off

so just buy a cheap used beater bike that no one will want to steal. make it looks worse.

if i add 10 small items to an order is there a worse chance of poor receive, should i just make multiple small orders of 2-3 items

>>105616093
I've never seen any difference. It's all shipped individually to the distribution centre, then thrown into a big bag anyway. If anything, being consolidated into a big bag makes it less likely to go missing in the post. If some items are delayed, they usually just ship them separately rather than waiting.
If you're worried, video yourself opening each bag and confirming the items are in there, so you can make a claim if there is anything missing. If you have reasonable proof, the site always sides with the buyer. Even if your evidence is shit, they will usually side with you anyway unless you have a history of dubious claims (this may be different if you are from a region with a lot of scammers; the Chinese are not shy about profiling).

>>105616093
don't bother thinking like that. just order them all, most will prob come in a nice fat bundle. you can't ever trust logistics / postal workers. they'll fuck up anything

Most fancy mobo come with built in nvme heat sink. Some are even actively cooled. It can't all just be marketing, Right? ...Right?

Found an even bigger one from pick 3.

>>105617633
>Does your ssd thermal throttle? Do you care?
I don't think it does thermal throttle. so I probably don't notice.

I was gonna say that I should look at my fancy mobo's box for a nvme heat sink, but just remembered yeah actually what I put on top of the nvme was an nvme heat sink.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006770965660.html

>>105621942
People in the reviews are posting pictures with it holding water, so really the bigger question is how much power it draws to do that.

>>105621967
its says only 36W, but it seems too good to be true

>>105621942
its a peltier one. good enough to keep a small storage room but that is it
nothing in that pricerange is good, you need one with a heat pump
if you want a full explanation on dehumidifiers and a rant why those are bad look here https://youtu.be/j_QfX0SYCE8

>>105621942
It is a meme, wont help at all, get something bigger.
It says it does 350mL/D (0.7 pints a day) in optimal conditions. Compare it with local stuff, I bet you can finds something for that price that can do around 10 liters a day (20 pints a day)

>>105622009
>>105622032
i know there are better ones with heat pumps but they consume like 300W, i was hoping this small one would at least lower the humidity to 60%

>>105622072
go to the minute 48 of the video >>105622009
seriously those are thrash, i got one and was terrible
in fact if you find one that is somewhat equivalent to the smallest heat pump one you will find that they use a ton more of electricity
just dont run it all the time

>>105622072
you can run the 300W for an hour and it will capture more water than if you put the 36W for 24 hours.
Rough math: Better machine does the job on 300 Wh, that chinkshit does the job for 864 Wh.

>>105622166
>>105622193
ok thanks bros, im not gonna get the chink shit dehumidifier
i guess im gonna try to find a cheap one with a heat pump

recs on chink handhelds? Not looking for power, essentially i need it mostly to stream from my pc but i guess it being able to run some games by itself isn't a bad idea

>>105624628
You need to add a couple of details. Budget? Screen size? What's the newest platform you want to run on the thing natively? Any dealbreakers?

>>105624667
i was gonna say "it don matta" but thinking about it
>as much as i like those classic gameboy looking ones i think i prefer a horizontal layout (very much bonus: clamshell design of some kind, i think that was the only "actually portable without issues" designs handhelds ever had)
>screen size i assume is gonna cost me so idk, something around 6 or 7 inches
>i'm assuming by platform you mean emulation-wise, that doesn't really matter as i assume even the shittiest one can emulate up to the ps1 and the rest i'll just stream for my pc
>speaking of platform, would be cool if it's running windows, will that shoot up the price?
>speaking of shooting out the price, any with hdmi out?
i'm nigger adjacent so budget is "as low as possible", but i can consider shelling as much as needed if it's a nice machine. I do realize at this point i'm basically asking for a steam deck, but idk maybe there's cheaper alternatives i don't know about

So if you're shooting for PS1 -- that's basically almost any of them. Now emulating Windows games? That's going to need 1) Android 2) Snapdragon 8G2+ SoC -- that's like $400+ at the very minimum. And if you want one that actually runs windows, the cheapest one would be Steam Deck at what, five hundo?
Folding one is easy with under 4" screen. RG-35XXSP and RG-34XXSP. If you want anything more, then your only option for now is Retroid Flip 2 at around $200. If you can drop clamshell for a screen size,
I can spend an hour going through all the options, but here's the top picks for different scenarios.
Just streaming + up to PS1 games on the device with a decently big (5") screen -- Trimui Smart Pro
Streaming + up to PS2 + Android games + 5.5" AMOLED (you want this) screen -- Anbernic RG556
Same as above (better SoC), but clamshell -- Retroid Flip 2
Running games on a device itself + 7-8" screen -- Steam Deck or Lenovo Legion Go S
Alternative option is to get Razer Edge (5G version got more memory, which you want) on sale; Lenovo Legion Y700 (2025) or ZTE Redmagic tablet + gamepad and be on your merry way.

But would be a decent option for a lite shitposting/brainrot consuming/bit of gacha (or a board game ports, if you're a FUCKING NERD) playing/manga reading option. 12" is huge, would make a good netbook/laptop replacement if you only need a browser. If it has a DP alt mode, combined with a portable 15" screen would make a killer portable gooning station.
Also it's 120+ for me. Fuck.
