>>105819241 (OP)
Thanks for making the new thread anon.

I'm about to become a wagecuck and I need a good Webcam and mic for videocalls. Some kind of desk light for good lightning if possible. I read the guide but it's empty, any recommendations?

Any insane coins deal page you guys got recently? I got 200g of leadfree solder with flux and silver for 3.77€. Had to get 2 x 100g to skip shipping. Don't know how to link the coin deal, its called baku solder or something like that. Hasn't arrived yet so haven't worked with it yet.

>>105819849
There is this xiaomi light bar which you clip on top of your monitor, which lights up the desk in front of you pretty well and even and is not intrusive

any tips for USB wi-fi card which can handle 100Mbit/s down?

Here is my recent haul:

1/2

USB C voltage tester: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009146709955.html (paid around 11€ after all coin and coupon discounts).

Haven't tinkered with it a lot yet. Tried it out with a few cables and devices. I was prepared to get angry at my official Samsung 25W charger which was, according to this chink voltage tester, charging my 25W capable Samsung phone only at around 10~12W but then after meddling with some modes on the voltage meter it started to show the charging speed of around 20W which was closer to expected and acceptable value.
Turns out I initially misinterpreted what the ON/OFF button on the chink voltmeter does. It doesn't turn ON/OFF the voltmeter itself, but rather toggles some simulation modes. Apparently according to the listing this device is capable of deceiving the charger and allowing it to supply higher voltage than the device you are charging would request. I don't intend to test out this feature since I am not a big fan of potentially frying my equipment.

All in all, this is a neat little device. Has a nice LCD screen, several display modes, can draw wattage graphs, test cable charging capabilities and more. Bought it on a whim as a toy so I'm unlikely to spend a lot of time tinkering with it seriously.

is it safe to get a bluetooth dongle from aliexpress, since they all use the same chips anyways, or will I be getting some kind of overheating malware-ridden RF jammer?

>>105819917
2/2

CADISEN Mechanical skeleton wrist watch: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008839829402.html (paid around 44€ after all the discounts).

I'm not a big fan of "smart" watch fad since I'm not some autist who absolutely needs to calculate his steps, analyze his sleeping graphs or charge his wrist watch every day so I always tend to wear classic "dumb" wrist watches that just show me the damn time with no random bullshit like synchronizing with shitCloud or downloading hindu security updates.

I already had a wrist watch in classic metallic colour steel strap so I wanted a black watch to match darker clothing. This specific model cought my eye because I read some good reviews about the CADISEN brand itself as being cost/quality king and also the skeleton see-through design simply looked cool.

Now that the watch arrived and is on my wrist, I have some conflicting thoughts on the skeleton (see-through) design. Yes, it looks cool, but it isn't very practical since it acts as a distraction. When I want to steal a quick glance at the time, it takes me an extra second to visually locate the hour and minute hands. Also, don't expect to see all the visible cogs turning. Most of them move veeery slowly by design so basically you will only see movement on the lower left cog (the one encased in "21 JEWELS AUTOMATIC" case).
I would have also prefered if they were more generous with the luminous (glow in the dark) coating. Only the white tips of hour and minute hand are coated with it.
I was just a bit concerned about the dial case diameter potentially being too big since I have slim wrists and my current wrist watch has only a 37mm dial case diameter while the CADISEN watch was at 42mm. Luckily it turned out fine and this size doesn't seem to look too gargantuan on my wrist.

It will probably take me some time to get used to this watch, but for now my opinion of it is neutral.

>>105818558
I fucked up. Meant to say it's over 700GB of books and docs, hence my preference for having expandable SD storage.
I am looking at Xiaomi pads and I think pad 6 is probably the one most fitting my use case. Can't find a pad 7 for cheap

>>105820250
>I fucked up. Meant to say it's over 700GB of books and doc
Yeah I figured you wrote it wrong. The Pad 6 does not have expandable storage sadly, but the Redmi Pad SE does - plus it's a bit cheaper. Worse processor, but for documentation and books it's still more than enough - back when I got the 6 myself I was really torn between it and the SE. It's a bit bigger too if that matters to you.

>>105820359
Noted. I was debating going full chinkshit or getting a refurbed Galaxy Tab S9 off eBay. Either way I suppose I am not in a hurry yet. Thanks for the insights anon.

>>105820374
The Galaxy Tabs are also good value, so it's not like you'll likely have too many regrets either way. Good luck!

>>105820134
I'm really not a fan of skeleton watches, but as far as those go, you chose well. This one doesn't seem obnoxious to me.
>>105819872
I have the xiaomi lightbar, it's really nice. Not really for illuminating yourself when in a call though, moreso a tasteful way to illuminate your workspace.

why do all these companies use the prefix "ali"? are they shia-islamic? whats their deal

>>105820134
I remember my first chink mechanical watch, it was skeleton too. People not into watches would get curious after catching a glimpse of it and seeing the balance wheel and hairspring move through the dial. Pretty cool, admittedly I fucked it up by opening it and messing with the hairspring.

I want to reduce screen time before sleep.

Any good chink e-readers?

>>105821946
No.
They all suck.
Get a kindle, used or new.
The only viable usecases are if you insist on using pdfs with many images or want to read manga on them and have to have android (you lose battery power in return).
If you want to avoid the amazon botnet you have to pay a premium and get nothing in return.

any recommendations for a portable power bank to charge stuff with? mainly just phone and earbuds

Do we have the sales calendar somewhere? I need to check if it's worth to wait or I should buy some stuff now

>>105823956
Ah shit just read the thread, i'm retarded

>>105823829
Stick to the usual brands, anker, xiaomi if you want to be safe. Essager if you're feeling a bit more adventurous. With no names there's a decent chance the capacity will be a lie and charging speeds are slower, but that's up to you if you want to take that risk.

>>105825675
>>105823829
I would add Baseus and Ugreen to the list. Solid stuff, no complaints.

how the fuck do I find a bluetooth 6 dongle on aliexpress? The results are bloated with wifi 6

Aliexpress dispute process is so messed up. A t-shirt that I thought looks a bit off white gets refunded easily. But pants that were supposedly be cotton but are actually just polyester gets denied.
I wonder if they're going to ban me for too many disputes.

>>105826319
There are no Bluetooth 6.0 dongles.

Hell there are only about a dozen phones with Bluetooth 6.0 and all but 1 is a chink phone.

>>105819241 (OP)
You anons DONT GIVE UP dealing with the Chink!

I wanted to return non working HDMI cable to aliexpress, even if they say FREE RETURNS, they wanted me to pay the shipping that would cost even more than the hdmi costs. But i persisted and week later i got my refund, they even forced me to make a video how exactly it does not work so i made the video with really annoyed angry voice where i was repeating loudly "ITS NOT WORKING, ITS NOT WORKING!!!" while plugging and unplugging the cable between my Thinkpad and the TV.. and in the end i got my refund (dont even have to send it back).

>>105826378
>Bluetooth 6.0

>>105826378
cool, guess I'll just get this shit from amazon then

It was released a week or two ago and appears to introduce lag for gaming controllers.

I'd personally wait for BT 6.0 to mature, but you do you.

thoughts on chinkshit wireless chargers? any problems to watch out for?
it's a fucking copper coil, how bad can they fuck it up?
I don't care for fast charging, if anything slow/normal is better for me

>>105826643
sorry I'm straight.

>>105827018
Seems pretty gay to be an early adopter for a standard that no devices currently support.

But whatever cope helps you get on with your life.

did they fix the codec bullshit so you can have lossless mic+audio same time?

Okay, so tell me what device you have that has BT 6.0 support.

Anon, that's not a client device.


You're not going to connect your phone to your PC with Bluetooth (or you shouldn't if you have a local wifi network).

Wifi is going to be 100x faster and more reliable, and longer range.

I'd say don't pay it, then they have to cancel and that hurts their store rating.
But I don't live in the US and your situation is legitimately fucked so who knows. He might be telling the truth for once. Probably why so many american anons are complaining lately that items just aren't listed for them anymore.

>>105826354

Not sure, I guess about 14cm, 90/min and idk the weight

They're probably cleaning out your mouth with tools they got from Aliexpress

>They're probably cleaning out your mouth with tools they got from Aliexpress
For some reason that barely bothers me. But the idea of getting a tooth made from AliExpress items just feels wrong to me.

>>105831434
thanks.
actually chink seller told me to cancel, if I don't wanna pony up, lol.
guess ill just wait and monitor the situation for a while...

I'm looking for some desktop speakers. I'm willing to pay $20 but I don't want complete crap. It'd be nice if they could be hung on the wall.

Alternatively I could be talked into getting an amp for some spare speakers I have that are 4ohm/20w.

Are there any good cheap chinkshit endmills/face mills on ali?

>>105833497
Only cheap OR good, not both.

Do make sure that the cable you're using is rated at or above the charger spec, I've had issues with some of my "20v/5A"-rated USB-C cables not actually being able to handle the full power.

>>105836267
Essager seems to be filling the niche ugreen/baseus was occupying back in the days: cheap but reliable charging products. Grab them before they jack up the prices (looking at Hagibis) or start selling garbage (Asometech, fucking great name).

You can't with normie pop music, you 100% can with opera or classical music.

When you have 20+ db of dynamic range you will 100% notice compression (assuming your headphones or speakers aren't dogshit)

Pretty decent electric bike pump, smaller than a pack of cigs. Enough to pump 700x40x tires to 3bar about 2.5 times.
Yesterday due to me being not careful I lost all air in the front tire, like it was completely empty. This thing not only pumped it up back to normal running pressure in about a minute, but also put the tire (tubeless) back on hooks -- I've heard it click in place at least twice.
Beats small hand pumps handily, but I still have one for backup -- battery is obviously not that stellar. Also gets hot as fuck, so probably not a smart idea to keep in your pockets.

The top USB-C port does deliver the full 100w, it doesn't even seem to heat up that much so I'd assume it's quite reliable.
Russian guy tested it and it worked fine under 5A load, with very low voltage drop. Fine with PD/QC 3.0, but seems to dislike Huawei and the other chink phones protocols.

speaking of dentalcare
here's my 1 year experiment with knockoff sonicare brushheads
diagnosis: 4 abrasion cavities
prior history: no cavities for over a decade
could be i'm an oldfag now and my health is declining. this was the reason i switched to electric brush. because the dentists say i'm brushing too hard and my teeth are wearing away. i guess electric didn't remedy. now i got cavities on the worn off spots. maybe my retard ass fucked myself with cheapshit brushes.
make of this what you will.
i will try to obtain the expensive genuine sonicare brushheads and report back in roughly one year.

aaaah sense of shit, my favorite, thank you chang.

>>105847846
stay with classic toothbrush

>>105838390
A friend have that exact one, works pretty good. My only complaint is that its hard to gauge how much water you have on it, so you need a scale.

bought a Los Pollos Hermanos shirt on Ali cuz I wanted to wear something that isn't just plain or black, but wasn't ready to pay the fucking 20+ euro price tags they ask for at "geek stores".
logo ended up being smaller on the shirt than how it looked like in the listing.
also size I got is a bit of a tight fit, but that's more my fault since I've never ordered clothes online before.
paid almost 8 euro for it.

>>105847899

you have cavities because the rate of the food/acids/bacteria eating away at your teeth is greater than the care you give to it. simple as.

>>105850898
i don't have any sources to back it up, but my hunch is that "damascus," is probably one of the scammiest knife categories. anons in a recent thread mentioned reputable cheap knife brands

>>105851588
I mean, some "damascus" is worth it as a piece of art, but otherwise it's a meme.

But at that point you're spending 10's of thousands for the art, not for knife performance.

>>105850898
Oh dear god no why would you challenge my knife autism again.
Do you know what you want? As in type, size, price range?
>I like the look of these watered-steel Damascus blades but they can't be much good for that price, can they?
Genuine damascus is a lost technology.
There are "real" damascus knives that exist, but they are very expensive and not genuine, they use a folding technique. This one claims to be that (67 layers), but there's a good chance it's actually laser engraved, that's the case for cheaper "damascus" knives at least.
The price isn't that bad for a knife, you don't need to pay insane prices to get good knives, but VG10 is really good steel, which makes me suspicious, probably it's either not VG10, or it's a VG10 core with some other metal cladding it. Either way don't expect good heat treatment by a company called "grand sharp".
Mind sending a link to the listing? Then I can give you more feedback.

>>105851588
>but my hunch is that "damascus," is probably one of the scammiest knife categories
Meh it's just a trend because it looks good. Most of the "damascus" ones are just cheap steel and a laser engraving on top to give it that layer look. Doesn't look all that great and wears off over time. Then there's real damascus like >>105851621 posted, but that's better to think of as art than a tool.

>>105850898

And do get a sharpening implement of some sort if you don't have one yet, or any money you invest in the knife will be wasted. It's better to have a sharpener and a 5€ knife than no sharpener and a 200€ knife.

>>105850898
Did some BS searching in the listing.
The good:
That pic upper right from the video makes it look like it has proper texture rather than being perfectly flat, which would suggest it's acid etched damascus steel rather than laser engraved.
The neutral:
60-62 for VG10 is really high, though not impossible. Given that most knife manufacturers lie about HRC values, I'll let it pass
The picture lower left shows the actual construction, as I thought it's a core of some steel (they claim VG10) and a damascus outer cladding, which is softer steel.
The bad:
That graph on the right is major bullshitting, the 60HRC refers to their core, not the damascus steel, which probably isn't 60 HRC either, but pretending it's the damascus steel is shady.

My guess is you'll get an acid etched damascus cladding on a hard steel core that looks really nice and probably works quite well. If it's actually VG10 who knows, you won't be able to prove it either way.

>>105852459
why the hell would you even want >60hrc in a kitchen knife? nothing is hard enough o need that much, i mean maybe a cleaver?
it is very high, you will get more wear due how fragile and thin it is

>>105852687
>that hard disc magnet on a food utensil
enjoy your neodimium on the food i guess

>>105852706
>nothing is hard enough o need that much, i mean maybe a cleaver?
Cleavers actually need softer steels or they will chip. Especially "real" cleavers rather than cai daos.
As for the hardness, it's true that you don't need it for ingredients as you said, but it would result in better edge retention, which is a very nice feature to have. More importantly many beginners think "harder=better" though.
>you will get more wear due how fragile and thin it is
Unlikely, the cladding protects it to some extent, that's a legitimate technique to cope with the downsides of super hard steels.
But you're right that 60 HRC is overkill and has more downsides than upsides.

>>105852721
>Cleavers actually need softer steels or they will chip.
i know but bones where the only hard food part i could think of, so cleaver was the only reasonable option...
>cladding protects it to some extent,
enough to matter? i mean a sharp edge is really really small, even a small variance will be enought to make it dullish
dunno man, i worked with cutting tools in manufacturing and when i am told this shit doesnt make sense to me, the scales are wrong

>>105852459
>>105852281
so what's the point of the meme counterstrike metal?
and why is it rare

>>105852759
>enough to matter? i mean a sharp edge is really really small, even a small variance will be enought to make it dullish
When I mean protect it I mean in terms of chipping, and even then it only limits the size of chipping that occurs, not in terms of dulling.
My understanding was/is that harder knives dull slower but chip easier and vice versa.
>dunno man, i worked with cutting tools in manufacturing and when i am told this shit doesnt make sense to me, the scales are wrong
My guess is the HRC rating is just invented, they probably looked at what VG10 can achieve then picked the upper end of that and called it a day.
The really bad thing is the low grind angle, which makes it even more likely to get damaged. Probably not a great choice for a beginner.

>>105852774
>so what's the point of the meme counterstrike metal?
Well it kinda depends. "Real" damascus steel has cultural and historical significance, so that's why that matters. If you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootz_steel
Other than that, the point is primarily aesthetics, and I can't deny that it looks really nice. As for why damascus steel these days is rare: The acid etched one isn't really rare, it's just added cost to manufacturing with little to no performance reward.

>>105852325
or did I get fucked?
all the items with coins I added dropped the coins discounts.
they all had 30-60% off and now I'm just not gonna buy it.

maybe if I clear my cart they'll come back in a bit?

>>105848906
i didn't change my diet or brushing habits aside from going manual to electric. more likely the sudden occurrence of more cavities was worn enamel.
whether the electric brush accelerated the process of wear. i have no clue.
though I do share your suspicion. electric is nice for cleaning but perhaps the abrasiveness is greatly understated.

If it keeps the time at +-30 seconds a month and doesn't fall apart within the first 3 months I'll take it as a win. Wish me luck

>>105857580
They look good. That's it, that's the reason.

Guessing the odds of finding a specific replacement part on ali are pretty low right? I bought some likely chink vacuum on amazon and they stopped making them so I can't find where to get this thick foam disc "filter"/pre-filter whatever it is anywhere. Aliexpress has some similar ones but they're too big because they're made for other vacuums
>>105857359

These are 6 bucks (23% VAT included) without any sales or discounts. Yeah, more expensive, but isn't really worth the hassle.

>>105858454
I've never been banned, did it like 15 times a year ago. My name and adress still works for my main account. They have fixed it though or at the very least made it impossible without a phone number and I bet they will ban that phone number after a few tries.

>>105858174
If the thickness is right just cut it to size. Or if it's smaller than a sponge, cut that to size. It's just foam in the end.

>>105858810
>It's just foam in the end.
I heard different densities affect how well the vacuum functions
>If the thickness is right just cut it to size.

>>105858928
>I heard different densities affect how well the vacuum functions
They do, but you have to think of it this way - the option isn't "perfect filter or imperfect filter" it's "imperfect filter or clogged filter". In which case it's still an improvement. The closer type of foam you get to the one inside the vacuum, the better of course, but the others also work, just less well. Too dense will constrict airflow, too low density will mean bad filtering.
>you think an imperfect cutting job would still be fine?
I don't know that specific vacuum, but as long as it's somewhat fitting and you can cram it in there, it'll probably be fine.

somehow a bottle holder came before everything else
hope it's good, but it fits bottles well

It'll probably be a decent knife and if you like the aesthetics it can be a good choice for you, but it might not be VG10.
You should either have or get some way to sharpen it and consider if that shape is what you want, as that's not a very usual knife shape and that does affect how it feels and how well it works.

CH3504 is a good knife for $35. For $20 the best will be old stock of enlan el01 if you can find one.

>>105863465
samefag. or you got epic trolled. they're shit.

>>105863599
i guess everyone online is lying about them then

>>105862408
i think the idea is that chinkshit go from warehouses in the eu instead of from china
i will also help with non legal shit, but as i said the workload for everyone involved would be brutal, i really doubt this will pass, lately all was to streamline as possible this shit
>>105862276
most probablt some consultants are trying to sell the dieaa that with ai there wont be the workload problem i mention above, but when customs and other stakeholders would be able to express their concerns, they will be called out hard

>>105863730
i need to sleep, i am writing like shit

>>105862021
Sucks you can't use it with other coupons since I only order whenever a sale's on. Chang should make an exception.

>>105863171
my bad for some strange reason I assumed you meant play mats
alibaba tends to be bulk so I doubt you'll find single anything there

>>105863371
for 20-30 you can get some decent folders from non chink brands so there's no reason for there to not be decent chink ones

Newsflash ontario rat 1 is not 25$ anymore. It was before covid now it is $40. Even kershaw have only very small bottom of the barrel folders at this price. Name a models at this price range all will be worse than the CH3504. The CH has very good milling, actually has D2 blade even if it is on the soft side at 58-9 hrc, has good G10 scales with no sharp points and ball bearing washers. No folder at $30 has any of this. Everything just got more expensive in the last 5 years. I remember when I got 20 ganzo 740s for 8$ each when you could get cheap chink knifes if you got them in bulk but this is not the case anymore. Ganzo only makes more expensive knifes under their new sub brand the only decent priced ones are old stock but they are 2-3 times more expensive than before. I just searched for Enlan EL01 and saw there is supposedly in stock for 16$ with wood handle but don't know if the site selling it is legit.

of course, nothing can compare with the best value in the next price bracket up. but some people don't need something that good.
I've been perfectly happy with my budget kershaw that I picked up for 20.

>>105864448
Kershaws are not not 20 anymore unless you want 3Cr13 blade that is steel made for spoons or on really deep discounts like this one.

And yes this one is worth it for $20 because it is normally ~50

>>105862021
I don't care about this. I don't need the 1 euro coupon it's useless. I want my package

>>105864300
I ordered one of those like 5 years ago and it never showed up

>>105835269
oh they finally realized the battery life on the space travel 1 was fucking awful.
7 hours still sucks though.

>>105866060
how? 7 hours is more than even a work day, cause in the pause you can charge it fully

>>105866066
or i could just not have to charge it for the entire day if they just spent an extra dollar on a bigger battery? not a hard concept to understand.

>>105866060
>>105866066
>>105835269
Did they improve the sound? Bat life was never an issue for me. I just wish it sounds as good as my Chu2. Coming from Chu2, it sounds awful, but convenience is awesome.

>>105866127
you will never have it in for 7 hours without a pause.
this isn't realistic use case.

>>105866594
you don't get to tell me what to expect from a product, chang.

>>105866659
you had a question and I'm explaining to you why it's not happening.
take it or leave it.

Bump for thoughts. What is going on here?
