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.

>And if you want one that actually runs windows, the cheapest one would be Steam Deck at what, five hundo?
Base model refurb decks are way less than $500 USD provided you can get them when they come back into stock.

i need a desktop spectrum analyzer.
is there a decent one good enough for hobby use so i don't have to give my money to the rigoljew?

I started to buy and play with Beyblades. I got a few original ones and spent probably about 50€. But I checked for fakes ones and reviews and they seem to be pretty hit or miss but good overall. The bad parts are usually the bit (the lower part) and the ratchet (the middle part). The top one is usually 100% identical physically, but it shines more and usually contains lead. There are a few brands, Flame, SB and MQ are the most famous, SB don't use lead, iirc, and the others do. SB and MQ usually have the correct parts.

I'm waiting for a few chink stadiums to play on, though it seems they will come broken since they are thin plastic (the official ones are as well, but come in a sturdy cardboard box).

If you have recently joined this autistic hobby, share some stuff you found (there are official stuff as well).

any recommendations on dirt cheap SBCs for low intensity media nas/torrenting? i'm thinking about getting a nanoPi neo3 and just connect the hdd via usb, but i don't know that much about chinese SBCs

>>105626878
Only other ones I know of are stuff like the orangepi, lattepanda, and those ryzen embedded chips.

>>105626878
i use an rpi3 for that. they're pretty cheap and work well if you do headless installs.

What do you use to fry eggs?

>>105627507
you can fry eggs just fine in stainless steel pots

>>105627550
Why do you fry things in pots instead of pans?

Stainless steel pans stick. Scrubbing it to get rid of the stuck things scratches it and makes it stick more.

>>105627571
there are ways to make stainless steel cookware non-stick, just ask /ck/ or go on youtube, honestly.

To be honest, I might have chosen the most furry and tranny bey that there is.
And as others pointed out, if you don't know about this, you either were born not long ago, or it somehow went over your radar, though I won't blame you, since like I said, I recently got into it (again).

When I was a kid, I watched the show and got some chink copies from the local Chinese store. It was fun, but nobody had a stadium, maybe a big bowl or whatever.
Right now a stadium is mandatory, mainly because it enhances the game by a lot. You get some rails around the stadium and with the bits and their tooth, they get a speed boost making them kick the others out of the stadium.

This new Gen came in 2023 and it's been going strong. It's so much fun to play, and with how inexpensive the fakes are, you can have ton of fun with friends on a weekend. Just have one or two stadiums and a bag full of different parts, mix and match a few combos and try to be the king of the hill.

Pic related is the stadium, and two other non tranny beys. Just watch a few videos of manchildren playing with these, they are fun.

Well the results are in. Watch arrived yesterday. Quality is solid and the weight feels good on my arm. Yes I know my skin is very pale and I'm too thin. I have a terminal illness. Please dont mock me. Anyway I highly recommend these. Mine cost 10 bucks with the first time buyers discount but even the normal price which is like 24 Bucks is still a steal for these

>>105629288
I'm glad you enjoy it anon, may it last you a while.

Chinkshit giveth and chinkshit taketh away

>>105629288
Can you go over the features/ what each part does?
The top left seems to be a analog watch, the top right I'm unsure about (chronograph?)
bottom right on sec seems to display the time digitally, and below the temperature, which seems either wrong or you're actively in an oven at 43 C.
But what about alm, DUT and STW?
Unrelated but I've always felt that the logo next to the ana-digi temp text looks like a microphone.

are chink gpus okay for media pc or are they absolutely garbage?

>>105629452
I'm guessing integrated graphics isn't an option?
As far as I know chink gpus can be decent, just don't be an idiot and fall for obvious scams.

You're asking to be scammed, unless by chink GPUs you just mean one from an OEM vendor.

>>105626878
as >>105627032 and >>105628986 said intel n100/n150 nas motherboard or minipc will be a better option due to more RAM(!), better I/O, and quick-sync video transcoding. it's good to have if you want to use jellyfin.
plus there are ready-made mini HDD NAS solutions with n100/n150 (see 4-bay Aoostar WTR Pro for example, there are also 2-bay ones) which will also let you use 3.5" hard disks.
if you want something smaller/dead quiet there's also 2.5" ssd/m.2 nvme NAS boxes.

if you still want an ARM board be 100% sure you're getting one with at least gigabit ethernet. some cheaper ones still got 100mbps ports.

I've tried working around OrangePi and other chink SBCs and it's not worth it, get it some celeron mini PC or one of those n100 motherboards instead.

>>105631165
It was my mistake when I wanted to set up Pi-Hole in my network. Got a Pi Zero and did some configs to make it run off of the USB port of my router. It was a nightmare, barely any computing power, I couldn't use the same USB port for emergency LTE, and when I had to reinstall it was barely possible to do so. At some point I got fed up, set up Proxmox on a spare PC and later migrated it to a Dell mini PC with a Core i5. Got a few extra self-hosted things on it as well and I can easily expand it, or add a NVMe drive, or an external one via USB, and it has all the computing power I'd need for those applications. Plus, having it as a regular part of my network instead of the USB clusterfuck it used to be makes everything so comfy and simple.

I don't know why SBC's like OrangePi are still people's go-to for such projects. Just get an x86 box that has all the flexibility and support for those types of applications. Pi derivatives only make sense if you want to do some GPIO Arduino-esque stuff.

>>105629380
You're right about the top left. The top right is the seconds/stopwatch. Bottom right is the date and time, You can change between 12 and 24 hour and by pressing the upper right hand button, you can view the date. ALM and STW stand for alarm and stopwatch respectively. No idea what DUT is. And yeah, I always felt like it looked like a microphone as well. There's also a built in backlight. Overall it was a great purchase.

>>105631719
The only reason to get SBC these days is GPIO. I think a lot of people just get them because of inertia -- RPi was a big deal up until 3, I would say. Now when x86 caught up in power consumption, it had very little reason to exist in hobby projects that just need a server.

Any anons with experience buying PC parts from AliExpress? I tend to stay away from electronics but found a really good deal on a CPU. From what I've read it pretty much all comes down to the seller, like on Amazon or eBay. If you're buying an item from a seller with no feedback, too good to be true, odd description you're going to get scammed, but should be good otherwise?

Seller is pic related which I think is as good as it gets on Ali. Any stories/reassurance, or will Chang intercept everything on my computer now.

SBCs are all about size imho. you set it up once and then have it plugged in somewhere and forget about it. integrating them into smart mirrors, pihole, some sort of retro emu device, torrent shit.
if you have to constantly interact with it and change settings and so on then actually get a mini pc. dell/hp/acer micro pcs under 7th gen are going to drop in price because they won't be able to have win11 without workarounds, and with a 35w power draw it's a perfect stopgap between underpowered SBCs and actual desktops which are overkill for the things you want to do

I was hoping to have a watch thread. If it's any consolation, the rest of us will die too. Except for the bots, but they could still have an accident.

I'm planning to do a little phone project to improve cooling. basically a sheet of copper in a thermal pad sandwich, but with an insulator layer instead where the battery is, so it would pull the heat from the soc and radiate it through the whole case.

None really. Might be cool to try an ergonomic or a trackball, but ultimately I just need something to click and gayme once in a while. Might be nice to have good precision since I do some Blender and misclicking on the models is how I realized that my mouse is dying

In fear that my beloved mouse (now discontinued) will soon break, I've got three cheap mice to find a potential replacement which shape I would like, and used each one for a week to see how I like it.
Attack Shark R1 sucked. It's not a bad mouse technically, but its shape wasn't compatible with my hand and grip at all. Too low, too narrow, too short. And the scroll wheel was set in too deep.
Ajazz AJ179 V2 was great, tall, asymmetrical, comfy. Once I had a cursor jump half the screen for some reason, but it never happened before or since.
VXE R1 looked like an Attack Shark at first, being smaller and flatter, but surprisingly comfortable for me. For some reason it has concave buttons, at first it felt really weird, but now I've got used to it and it works.
All of them have the same sensor -- 3311; all three are tri-mode (2.4GHz, USB, BT), no RGB, no software, pretty nice cable included with every one. Attack Shark also had tribal stickers included, which I assume supposed to be a grip tape, but I'm not a big competitive gamer so didn't bother.
Over all I can recommend all of them, despite not liking Attack Shark -- it was purely because of the shape, and not any objective issue.

>>105635204
i got the mad r major plus and it's a god tier mouse. Go check mousereviews on reddit for the latest chink mouse because competition is tough and there's a new better chink mouse every few months.

Does anyone have experience or feedback with this kind of bicycle pump?
Traditional basic pumps, both hand and feet operated are garbage. But at this point I only need one that works and doesn't fell apart.

Locally only a single classic type of german feet pump is available. The original I bought was defective right out of the bat, then the replacement started leaking air after minor use and now it's completely useless with no way for me to fix. It was janky as fuck deformed too.
Made in Germany my ass! And they had the gall to sell that trash as a car tire pump as well! I'm ready to put my trust into explosive chinaman engineering.

>>105638510
I dread to think how much filth could build up inside one of those things. Seems designed to collect oils from your skin, dead cells, stray hair, etc. and keep it all festering away in a hard-to-clean space.

>>105631719
To be fair the Zero is super underpowered compared to other pis.

>>105635204
I did a similar thing to >>105635876 with my Steelseries mouse, it's definitely worth trying to crack open your mouse and cleaning the inside with WD-40 or isopropyl alcohol before buying a new one.

>>105639155
>Traditional basic pumps, both hand and feet operated are garbage.
Anon, I fully understand where are we now, what kind of thread, but hear me out: they're garbage because you're buying garbage. My Decathlon track pump, not their cheapest one, 500 series; that I bought for 25 Euro three years ago inflated hundred of tires at least. And it works exactly the same as the day I bought it. Even more, if the head goes out -- and it might, there's a rubber ring inside that gets poked by a valve -- I can swing by another decathlon and buy a new one for basically nothing.
I don't know what kind of "German pump" you've got, but I would fully trust Decathlon, SKS, SIlca (if you're a Mr. Moneybags), Unior or Park Tool. Now this chink crap is almost guaranteed to be garbage. Maybe Rockbros or West Biking one would survive for some time, but not this noname landfill.

>>105639355
You should leave isopropyl alcohol as a last resort if wd-40 doesn't work, cause alcohol melts and eats silicone and glue.

>>105639355
Anon, buy a fucking soldering iron and replace faulty micro-switches. Don't be a dumb cock-sucking faggot.

>>105639468
>Anon, I fully understand where are we now, what kind of thread, but hear me out: they're garbage because you're buying garbage
I know I'm buying garbage, but only because I'm forced to! I admit yours looks like a damn fine pump, similar to my grandpa's old commie car pump, but with more plastic and fluff, rather than metal.
Unfortunately, due to an annoying health condition I cant bend down and do more than 3 pumps before dying, so hand-cranked pumps are not an option, unless I can operate it entirely by holding it in my hands.
I generally dislike hand pumps as well, since they take up too much space. The pumps you mentioned are also actually pretty expensive (above 25$), especially considering I'd have to ship them anyways. Might as well roll the dice and order one from China. They honestly look very good and even the more expensive types are incredibly price competitive.

By traditional german pumps I mean these bog standard ones with zero fluff on the left. The only alternative is the one on the right, with an absolutely tiny air capacity. There are like 6 bicycle shops in my tiny bumfuck town, all selling this shitty grey crap on the right, with only the big box store having a foot operated one similar to the left.
Supposedly the grey one is domestically manufactured, but it's a godawful design from the 50's or some shit.

>>105639680
if you have health problems why not use a battery powered one? i mean even if you are against those devices, in your situation is fair
if you own battery power tools, look for one with the same system

>>105639680
>Unfortunately, due to an annoying health condition I cant bend down and do more than 3 pumps before dying, so hand-cranked pumps are not an option, unless I can operate it entirely by holding it in my hands.
HAve you looked into electric pumps? Xiaomi pump 2 is pretty good and often goes on sale for 25-30 eurobucks.

>>105639713
I actually looked into battery powered ones while searching for reviews, because I didn't know they even existed.
Ultimately, I decided against them. They would really be perfectly suited for me, but fucking boomers in my family man... maybe in the future.

>>105639745
Thanks for the tip, I'll save the model.
It's sold around 45 to 55 eurodollars here plus shipping, but I need a traditional one for the time being.

>>105639746
dont listen to retarded boomers, they are ok with electric pumps after they actually see them
do you need it to be portable?
i gifted in the past this one >>105639745 or maybe the previous version and people where ok
you can also just buy a regular electric car pump, the kind you plug into the cigarette lighter, those are cheap and work fine. fucking noisy

>>105639155
>Does anyone have experience or feedback with this kind of bicycle pump?
I have one and like it.
It's compact, it works well, it's easy to use and while I have no idea how accurate the gauge is, it's at least within the right ballpark.
I got picrel 2 years ago, but the listing is of course long gone.
Obviously you can have good or bad luck with the gauge and how well it seals, but I seem to have gotten lucky.
It's not as fast as a large pump, but the smaller size more than makes up for it and I prefer pumping with my feet over using my arms personally.

>>105639468
Can confirm West Biking "upside down" pump is good. I have it some 5 years and use it even for car tyres.

>>105639887
west biking in general seems decent, I got picrel in addition to >>105639878, the foot pump I use at home, this one is just super small so I can keep it on the bike at all times and have a way to fill in air on the go. It's not something you'd want to use as your main pump, but it does get the job done.

Any anons ever bought sports clothing on Aliexpress? Like running shorts/shirts/socks, also football. I try searching for Polyamide shirts, which are imo better than just Polyester ones, but get no results.

>>105638435
Encountered that while looking for a third hand for soldering. The exact model I was trying to find cheaper on Ali would show up from some sellers as half the price, but the shipping cost would match it to what I'd pay for it domestically, so I just bought it that way. I guess it's just a way to fool those who aren't observant enough.

Does any anon here have one of these novelty handcrank radios?
Do they work? I'm not expecting much in terms of reception quality, but am wondering if the crank will just break or the charge you can build up by cranking is so miniscule it's basically not worth it, in which case I might just get a radio that's not cranked/solar powered. There's ones that can do FM/AM and SW (which this one can't) for half the price if you just don't care about that crank.
I'd mostly use it to larp so I can go hiking without my phone but still catch those scheduled weather forecasts.

>>105642185
Sure they are not cheap but they are godsend in some shitholes that ban people from buying leaded solder locally

(nta) my back-up solder spool from a decade ago. 60/40 tin-lead, the same type i used in electrical engineering class. i'm used to it and the quality and experience is consistent with whatever "brand".
you just have to be careful not to breathe it in or get it on yourself. once you use the stuff and read up about it, lead stops being the chinkshit boogeyman that the tinfoil hats here freak out about

>>105642705
thats a very neat fix actually
would a heat shrink tube also hold well on fragile headphone cables, for example, or does it need the wider parts on both sides to stay in place?

>>105643221
NTA, but one side is enough, but it does need something to grip onto. Remember that heatshrink doesn't shrink indefinitely, it just contracts a lot under heat, so it'll likely not become perfectly tight on the cable if it's also put over the port. That should still be enough to hold it in place though, and if we're talking 3.5mm jack the port is marginally thicker than the cable, so in that case it should grip decently.

>>105643302
thanks, thats exactly what i had in mind

>>105643221
It will work as long as you can fit your connectors into the tube. A good quality heat shrink tube with adhesive will have an excellent shrinking ratio, like 3:1, for example, so you will have to measure your connectors and your cables before placing an order for the tube, because it need to be a little bit larger than your connectors
>>105643302
Actually, now there are some tubes with adhesive inside them, so it will grip. This is my first try doing it, resulting in using too much heat, and also trying to move it while it's hot causes some adhesive to reveal itself a little

>>105639157

>>105625584 (OP)
got a question, is there anything that surpasses space travels for about the same money?

I have a set of them, mostly looking to see if there is anything better as these are what 1 year old with the design is close to 2 and iems seem to rapidly get better. I use better iems when I actually care about the sound, but but when I just want convince I use space travels so its not like im willing to dump actual money into an upgrade, just a small amount of 'fuck it' money if something is genuinely better by a good margin.

>>105642291
I got one for free when a guy I knew got sent like 10 in one of those review "scams".
It's alright but I would not pay for it. Cranking creates interference and is louder than the radio, so if it's out of charge you gotta crank for a while before you can listen. And as a radio its sounds kinda like shit. It's fun to find AM stations from other countries at night though.
I'd just get a regular one. Or a more fancy cranked one. The prepper larp vibe they have IS pretty cool…

>>105644182
Thanks for the response anon. I know they are loud but doesn't a radio take like a miniscule amount of power? Figured a minute of crankin' da hog would give you like 10+ minutes of listening or something.
Ideally I'd want one that can take rechargeable AA batteries, but I'm also not willing to pay too much and a lot of these start adding insane features I don't need, which is annoying because for hiking I don't want too much weight.
I'll look for another one, thanks.

>>105644212
Nah, in my experience, when it's totally flat you need to crank a lot before it gets enough charge to play at a normal volume for a while. Maybe like a 1:2 crank to play ratio. Might have just been because it was totally flat.
Also, the battery lasts ages, like months. I assume it's the same for the crankless ones. So it's kinda a question of if you want to crank for an hour every 3 months or plug it in for an hour.
So yeah, just get a regular one.

>>105644783

>>105644828
>you didn't explain shit
a camera, anon
hold the thing, point the thing at something, let it focus, press the button, save pic on sd card

>>105644845
So you just want a normal camera that can also do macro then. Cause I dont think they make min maxed cheap macro cameras. It's basically just a lens after all.
Would a phone adapter thing work?

>>105644991
>Cause I dont think they make min maxed cheap macro cameras
yeah that's basically what i wanted
>Would a phone adapter thing work?
sure

>>105644845
close macro, long distance macro?
a close one is a portable microscope, which is what i said. but that would be useless if you want macro photos of wildlife
and macro and autofocus dont go together often

>>105645031
close would be fine
>and macro and autofocus dont go together often
i borrowed an old canon eos 1200d from a friend with the included lens and the macro was alright, just had to hold perfectly still (ended up borrowing his tripod too in the end)
but i feel like the poco f3 i bought for my mother can take better macro pics

uh, fuckin wat?

>>105645443
i ordered a thing last week, it said the same thing. its already through customs in usa, it shipped within 2 days, but was choice item on ali

>>105645443

> iems seem to rapidly get better
They really didn't, not in the last couple of years. They are just consistently good now, don't let iemg fool you. Sadly, TWS are not on par. Got a pair of Space Travels myself, and from what I've seen there's not only no upgrades for the same price, you aren't getting anything considerably better in $100-150 range. The next real upgrade -- and even then in features and ANC quality (which, let's be honest, is absolute dogshit on Space Travels, so it's not a high bar to clear) -- is Sony wf-1000xm5 or xm4 if you can find them.

>>105646201

>>105631719
They're small, they have interfaces not found in most x86 boards (i2c i2s spi and the whole mipi bunch to name a few), and they still eat less power especially at idle. Yes less than even the N100, we all know intel tdp is bull and the system idles at like 10W.

I just go with Cynel since it's domestically made, therefore piss cheap and readily available to purchase. 100g spool of leaded solder costs ~$7. If you seldom solder small hobbyist projects then a 16g vial of that stuff is ~$1.6.
>>105646517
As I said, "for such projects". As in, homelab servers that don't need those interfaces, that prefer x86's more power hungry but performant cores over ARM's power efficient but underpowered cores, not to mention the software compatibility where you'll have a hard time with ARM based CPU's. No point in buying Pi derivatives if you want to set up a NAS, Proxmox, emulator box or any of those projects people still see ARM SBC's as the go-to for.

It doesn't fix it you dumb mongoloid.

>>105646228
the main better is going to be anc, personally it drowns out enough of the background that I dont require better, especially when i start playing anything, probably the only upgrade I really want i a better case for them that can fit real tips just so I have a good fit in my ears, but that's not an 'im willing to pay out the ass' better price.

even back with my blessing 2's when I put space travels in, it was more or less 'yep this is more or less the same sound quality just nowhere near the clarity'

honestly hope we get a good full featured tws iem so I can have anc on imes worth listening to, I have access to some of apples stuff, and honestly, space travels are so close the price difference is not justifiable.

>>105647599
it fixed mine and other anon's

>>105640827
>That, and listing some small pointless accessory in the same listing for peanuts so it would appear higher in the price sorting.

>>105649445
If they ship from your country or customs union, yes. If they ship with a company like DHL, maybe. If they ship from China via regular mail, probably not.

>>105642291
I have one with DAB+. The crank is not so useful but might be in an emergency. With USB, it's a normal radio. It also acts as a small power bank, thanks to its 18650 cell, but the capacity is quite limited. You won't be able to fully charge your phone.

>>105650022
Yeah I'd use it in my backpack when hiking and use it as I said for weather forecasts. Knowing that it can charge other stuff is also convenient - for the larp. A phone maybe not (or at least you'd spend an entire evening crankin' it) but my headlamp for example.
The hikes I go on are basically a week or less, so really not enough to actually need something like this.
For now I got picrel, because it also receives SW, though I think I fucked up because I realized after ordering that it doesn't take AA batteries but instead runs on a rechargeable batterypack.
Ah well I'll give it a try and see if I even use it, then if I do get a more expensive better one.
Thanks anon.

>>105650099
Personally, I'd consider it way too heavy and I simply use my mobile phone for weather forecasts during hikes. But I normally sleep in huts where I can charge it, or I just put it in airplane mode for most of the day.

>>105650261
Yeah it makes no rational sense - hence why I said it was for larping. I usually take my phone and a powerbank - that's more than enough for a week. Then I use my phone to take pictures, for navigation and weather forecasts. My hikes are usually in the wilderness, so no power sources or huts, just tent sleeping innawoods, but if you pay some attention to limit phone use it still lasts a long time before needing to be charged.
It's just that there's some charm to using a physical map, physical navigation and a radio for weather.

>>105650291
A physical map as a backup is definitely useful.

>>105650291
>for navigation
I bought an old hiking Garmin and set of maps for it for LARPing reasons, but it turned out that having a single-purpose device with a great battery life and easily replaceable AA batteries is a great thing to have. I don't care if I drop it (neither does the device), I don't drain the phone battery that I might need later, and it looks cool fixed to my backpack strap.
The only downside is that I've got the last model before they moved to the high sensitivity antennae, so it takes a bit to pick up a signal at the start.
>>105650362
>A physical map as a backup is definitely useful.
You absolutely don't go on any reasonably long and far hike without a laminated map, unless you know the trek by heart. But at that point you don't need any navigation anyway.

>>105650380
That looks cool, I really enjoy using a physical map though, it's a skill you have to learn for sure, but also very rewarding.

>>105650395
Oh, absolutely. My hiking buddy is absolutely autistic about maps, so I picked up that too. They are cool and infinitely useful.

anon if the drill uses collets, you need to swap it for almost every different shaft diameter, they permit like two sizes each at best
i think my kit for a dremel like has like 8 collets for that size range

>>105655854
>>105655902
There is only one collet.

>>105656045
then you need to buy collets. they are probably the same kind of a dremel
also pretty common unfortunately, you only get the most common size.

>>105656045
wrong. and yes, you are the one in the wrong either way (chang sent only one piece or you decided to buy a set with just one of them)

so my latest mouse just died on me for whatever reason and I had to go back to my old thunderobot mouse. whats a good replacement I can get? preferably with silent clicks

Looking for recs for small gadgets for my bedroom, which is quite small as the bed takes a third of all the ground space and the rest is a computer desk, a wardrove and a bookshelf
>small to medium size fan, preferably one i could safely hang from the wall shelf above my computer
>small nightlight, for when i want a less powerful, warm light during nighttime rather than my main light (maybe theres a way to adjust the brightness with my lightswitch but i am no electrician even if i kno some basics
>preferably all plugged, no batteries that you need to keep charging every week

My Moondrop block arrived. Even at 1% volume it is still too loud :( love the mini anime poster though makes it all worth it. wont be using it anymore

>>105656504
dont they have an app to adjust those settings?

What's the current fotm gaming mouse on AliEx?
Last time I was looking for gaming mice, it was the MAD R Major or something like that

I'm late to the fidget/autism-calming meme but for a few dollars each, I'm willing to self-diagnose with them

>>105657005
ones likes the mad r are frankly overkill placebo tier. if you don't mind paying then by all means. most are satisfied by mice 50% the cost, vxe r1, attack shark x3 / x6, etc.

>Less than $5 from pick-3
What's the catch?

>>105657541
shipping fees anon, it's always shipping fees

>>105654228
probably flydigi vader 4
>d-pad
can of worms, everyone seems to have their own preferences and there's enough QC variance in both first and third parties to prevent a clear-cut recomendation
>gyro
don't use this enough to be a stickler on it
dualsense gamesir and flydigi seem accurate enough
flydigi vader 3 pro xinput gyro through software would occasionally cut out, but I haven't seen the same complaints on vader 4 (but have on direwolf 3) so I guess it's better?

>>105657549
It's pick 3 so it's choice shipping.

>glue everywhere

any reasonably priced controller tablet cases like this one (this is the razer edge but this style of case has been done a few times already iirc) for the m4 ipad pro 11"?

>>105657572
>still need additional glue

Shit looks pretty terrible up close from the review pics. Not sure if it's a skill issue or not.

>>105657582
I get it now. He meant the kit doesn't come with glue.

Review picture of >>105647026 looks much nicer.

$4.49 meguca looks pretty good.

>>105657599
skill issue
it looks better if you're good at crafting
you can see the dotted lines where they didn't construct the pieces properly
i built a kit like this when someone gifted one to a toddler in the family
so it was given to me to construct
a larger one. not a mini kit.
it was more fun than i thought
though i kind of went full sperg hyperfocus for a few days

>>105657541
>>105657681
also this looks like a very small model so the price seems on par
if it was a few bucks for the larger models then it'd be a deal

>>105657080
Prepare a screwdriver and some loctite.

>>105657617
It does. Here's mine

>>105657929
Looks good, anon. Any tips?

>>105654297
Check out the flag.

>>105657945
Read the instruction carefully. I messed up a thing that it clearly said: "Look here, you dumbass" and I just didn't
You don't need glue at all, but use a tiny bit if some joints start moving

>>105657080
Don't buy 2-bladed, they are dis-balanced and you will regret of it.

I found the other collets hidden in the handle, but AliExpress was faster with the reimbursement. Sorry Chang, looks like I'm a retard who got a drill (still with shitty drill bits) for free.

>>105659472

>>105659472
>>105659477
Still, the smallest one that's hidden in the base is fucked up and doesn't hold the smallest bit. The other collets are too big. I still consider it a total loss because
1. I have to buy new drill bits with tapered tips
2. The collets are bad to the point of uselessness, even upon discovery

Do some products just randomly not count for coupons? How does that work?

>>105659424
the kana is mirrored.

it could be the back of the flag, i'd assume the other side looks correct

everything i bought a month ago is a dollar cheaper right now wtf

>>105659668
This type of flag is usually dyed in a way that the back side is mirrored.

>>105657965
I found an actual flaw: タイムセール, the dash should be vertical if the kana are vertical.

Whats the cheapest good walkie talkie? Eg keeping in contact between 2 cars travelling together in locations with no reception and hiking together. Wasn't there an anon wirh a lora messaging device too?

Need suggestions for a microphone?

>>105660334
>did some searching
>all baofengs are illegal because butthurt
Well that's shit I just want a good walkie talkie nigga

>>105660334
>walkie talkie
Different countries allow different frequencies.
So the particular model of walkie talkie you need differs by country.

USA? Something that does GMRS.
UK? Something that does PMR446.

Well known names:
- Baofeng
- Woxunun

Some GMRS videos
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TISEvFO1K-I
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl0oeyHK8KA

Look through his videos to find out about other models.

>>105660541
Note that many baofeng are illegal in western countries due to shitty electronics and high harmonics.

>>105660548
First I've heard that.
Got a source?

>>105660562
For example: https://nkgdb.ofcomnet.ch/en
I suppose that the rest of Europe has similar rules as Switzerland.

>>105660541
Australia. I can't use a Baofeng as a walkie talkie even with a license (easy to get) that the Baofeng is fully compliant with on amateur bands because it doesn't have a tick mark on the back (this isn't a joke)
>>105660548
Has nothing to do with any of that here

Also, in Aus, I can legally carry a knife for my intent, unless I've ever thought about like "hey this would also be good for self defence just in case", like even if nothing happens, 2 people, same place, same knife, legal vs illegal, differnet thoughts. Literal thought crime.

If you carry a small knife to uni for slicing fruit out of your lunch box = legal. But its ONLY legal if you absolutely make sure that in the event you are attacked by a criminal that there is no possiblity of getting the knife out of self-defence. If you do not cede the advantage to the criminal attacking, you become the criminal. The law requires you to not be prepared for self-defence. Being prepared for self-defence = criminal.

>>105660662
>The law requires you to not be prepared for self-defence. Being prepared for self-defence = criminal.
that's the most stupidest thing I've had read this week lmao.

>>105660693
Its true, it is dystopian circular reasoning.

You can only defend yourself if you were not planning to defend yourself. You must be pyschologically unprepared and unarmed. Personal preparedness is seen as a challenge to the monopoly the state has on force.The state promises to protect you but it cannot guarantee your protection in real time. But it criminalises you if you prepare to protect yourself in the case of an emergency.

You are allowed to survive but only if you do it without the means to do so. Allowing individuals to carry tools of defence is seen as arming the public and that unders the image of and authority of the state as the sole protector.

Your assailant can exploit this, knowing youre legally disarmed and the state accepts this risk as the price for maintainig a monopoly over legitimate force. The moment you take 1 iota of responsibility for your own safety the system views you as a danger cross into independence.

The alleged intent is to prevent violence, so carrying even for the partial intent of self-defence is always illegal. Always. Even if someone pulls out a knife, it is proven they saved their life, and the attacker scampered off with no damage done, this is criminal behavior. Its literally a thought crime because its the same thing (knife) in the same location, stored the same way, just 2 different intents, even if neither uses it.

What is really happening is the intent to be prepared for crime is criminalised. Australia criminalises the intention of self-defence, regardless of whether any violence occurs.

>>105660777
>>105660693
A criminal who intends to harm someone is considered potentiality, not a certainity until they act. But you who intend only to prevent harm to yourself, are considered a danger the moment you prepare.

Only criminals carry weapons (unless its cutting fruit, hiking, etc), if you carry one you must be a criminal. We dont allow law-abiding people to carry weapons because carrying one means you're not law abiding.

This pre-loads guilt into the intent of self-defence. It's pre-pre-crime.

Also we tax unrealised capital gains here.

>>105660777
>Your assailant can exploit this, knowing youre legally disarmed
exactly. it such disservice to own citizens. I knew AU is cucked but holy shit. Dystopia.

>>105660824
The problem is how extremely circular it is like "we can't allow this because only criminals want this. As we define anyone who wants this as a criminal"

>>105660841
Right, you should have a right to bear arms and stand your ground laws. That would get those homicide rates down to the level of...

>>105660917
>oh but muh numbers on a spreadsheet
My personal safety is more important than niggers shooting each other

>>105660917
>discussion about knives and general idea of being allowed to even think about defending yourself with anything being illegal
>MUH GUNS

>>105661075
Australia is doing better than most of the world. More knives = less safety.

>>105661251
Dead wrong. We have knives. We are allowed to carry knives. Thinking about protecting yourself is not allowed (not limited to knives). That's the distinction. 2 people, same knife, same location, neither used it, only 1 of them is a criminal.
Switzerland is doing better than most countries. Switzerland has a lot of guns. More guns = more safety.

>>105661318
Switzerland has a lack of melanin. The more melanin a country has, the less safe it is.

>>105660917
Mexico is a much closer neighbour to the U.S. The U.S. has 10x the gun ownership rate than Mexico. Mexico has 10x the firearm homicide rate according to your graph (safety is all murders not just firearm btw). More guns = more safety. 10x more guns, 10x more safety.

I don't really need a new cooler, and I shouldn't be wasting money right now, but... fuck it, we ball. Basically ~$21 less than what it costs locally right now. FOMO is the name of the game, and at the very least I'll have a bombastic air cooler for any future platform upgrades.

New thread.

>>105659410
An airbrush is a serious investment of money, time, and effort. It needs significant infrastructure to use effectively (good compressor, ultrasonic cleaner, cleaning mix, special paints, mixing bottles, etc.) some of which is difficult to cut costs on. Saving a few bucks on the airbrush itself isn't going to make a huge difference and could cause a lot of headaches.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money, I would recommend not bothering with an airbrush and instead just spending the time you would use learning airbrush skills on getting good with drybrushing and sponging instead.
