Thread 106387656

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

>>106387656 (OP)
Thanks for reposting the thread anon while I was asleep.
I'll refrain from adding too much spice in future news segments I guess

is there any decent budget beamer/projector for casual movie nights in the bedroom?

How slow is YFH special standard?
I ordered some rechargable batteries and it's been 4 days but package still hasn't moved

>>106387789
Post the upskirt

>>106388305
>is there any decent budget beamer/projector for casual movie nights in the bedroom?
Decent is a really broad spectrum.
The cheapskate option is the Magcubic Projector HY300, anything cheaper than that and you may as well just take random tech trash from the landfill and pretend it's a projector.
Some anons who have these have been complaining about them not being that great, other anons (me included) like their a lot and are happy with them. Depends on your standards and expectations I suppose.
Given that you can get them for 30€, I find people complaining that the image quality isn't insane a bit delusional, but you should be made aware of it.
If you want a actually decent beamer for watching regularly as a home cinema setup, you'll want something more expensive though, maybe other anons can help with that.

See >>105737799 for a review I posted of it when I got it, includes a photo of it projecting blade runner onto my ceiling.

>>106387918

>>106388916
>>106388974
Well he didn't say that he'll quit doing them altogether, it's just that he needs to be a tad bit more careful not to trip any autosage filters next time. The [REDACTED] bit worked perfectly to stop the OP from getting autosaged.

>>106387789
Thats a woman

Did they really block post services to USA?

Gonna grab this set as my first ever soldering iron.
Mostly because reviews are good, and pinecil here is severely overhyped, to the point when it's base version (soldering iron + 1 tip) costs 5 bux more than this whole set.

>>106389081
>this whole set
Which is...? Care to share a link?

>>106389081
I saw that one guy on youtube that does Aliexpress hauls showing this kit this past week, it looked decent.

>>106389097
Pretty sure it lists everything in my pic.
https://www.fnirsi.com/products/hs-02-toolbox?variant=46414067171546

>>106389129
>$71 on discount
Meanwhile picrel is what I paid for mine, minus the charger I doubt that it's that much more of a bargain than the Pinecil. I could've added the tip set and it would still be less than this set. Though you gotta keep in mind to buy directly from https://pine64.com since a) Ali doesn't sell genuine Pinecils anywhere anyways and b) any local reseller will have much higher prices than if you were buying from Pine64 directly.

At some point I'm prob gonna order both short tip sets and a PinePower from them. But not now. Once I'll have the need to step up my soldering game proper.

>>106389081
As long as you're fine with proprietary tips, fair enough.

>>106388670
good stuff, thanks anon will check that out

Any reccomendations for gaming headsets? Or should I just get some nice headphones and a desk mic?

>>106389278
Get some headphones and a desk mic.
If you want to go chink, fifine makes decent mics and baseus has some decent headphones.
If you're really autistic they even have some 2.4ghz dongle headphones (better latency than bluetooth), otherwise just get yourself a tplink bluetooth adapter if your mobo doesn't support it or go with cabled headphones if you care about audio quality.

>>106389075
yep, my country's blocked them for now until they figure out who pays what

>>106389278
Headphones and mic. I shit you not, the Koss KSC75 will be a good choice for gaming headphones. Then you can get a cheap desk/lapel mic and have a better set than any gayming piece of shit you could find.

>>106389278
>Any recommendations for gaming headsets?
Mchose V9 Pro look quite good on paper.

>>106389334
I'm thinking about this more and I realised that I actually need an all in one headset because I will use it in different rooms.

>>106389294
Do you know anything about these headphones? Thanks for naming the brands.

>>106389360
I will have a look at this one also thank you very much

Anyone bought an action camera/GoPro knock-off? Any recs?

>>106389464
SJCam SJ4000 is the go-to for cheap action cameras.
https://youtu.be/uirzCD-qALE
I may or may not have chosen this particular review on purpose based on your currency.

>>106389485
Lovely stuff thank you mate

>>106389440
Yeah, I have that exact one, it's decent, but I remove the built-in mic and use a desk mic instead.
It's not that the mic is bad or anything, I just didn't like how you can't fold it up like you can with other headsets (especially annoying when you're trying to eat or drink something).
They're really comfortable but the earpads started slipping off after a year or so of use (I just dabbed a bit of superglue on it and that fixed it).
Another thing that's annoying is how the volume controls work, I'll try to explain it the best I can: two different devices show up on your PC, "usb voice" and "usb game", the volume wheel all the way up sets "usb voice" to 100% and "usb game" to 0% volume, turn it all the way down and it inverst it, keep it in the middle and it sets both to 50% volume.
It's really dumb and not useful at all, I just disabled one of them on the control panel and just set everything to the other.
Oh, and you can just turn off the RGB and it remembers that.

I'm trying to find a really specific pouch for my iems, I don't want a fusty hard case, my jade audio ea3s came with this lovely little soft pouch with a zip. I found the exact same one on red ape but it's totally sold out. Does anybody know where I can buy these on Ali?

>>106389509
>>106389440
Oh, I should also mention that bluetooth headsets (audio + mic) are gonna work like shit on windows, it can't do audio input/output on the device without making it mono and ruining the audio quality.

>>106389053
>he doesn't know

>>106389169
>Meanwhile picrel is what I paid for mine, minus the charger I doubt that it's that much more of a bargain than the Pinecil.
Did yours come with 6 tips as well?
Official pinecil store doesn't even deliver here, so my options are either aliexpress, or our "local" version of aliexpress that also lets you order stuff from China.
And this local version has much better prices than aliexpress, as well as free shipping.
So I will be getting this set for 70 bux everything included, and the cheapest pinecil from a non-shady store I managed to find on the same online marketplace is 76.

>>106389081
how do I learn to fix shit?
do i need multi meter as well?

>>106389589
>Did yours come with 6 tips as well?
>I could've added the tip set and it would still be less than this set.
A Pinecil is $26, a silicone cable is $4, and a short tip set is another $26. Closes in at $56, so even with shipping it's less than that.
>Official pinecil store doesn't even deliver here
So that's why you're so mad at the Pinecil being "overhyped"? Because you can't get it at the community prices? You living in a 3rd world shithole doesn't mean the Pinecil is overhyped or overpriced.

>>106389647
It's strongly advised to have one. Mine is a Uni-T UT33B+, but you might want a different variant from the UT33+ series since the battery tester of the B variant is useless. It's just a DC measurement mode that'll show "good" or "bad" depending on the voltage range, something you could do yourself and instead get a UT33A+ with auto range, UT33C+ with a thermometer or UT33D+ with contactless measurement. Uni-T is a generally recommended Chinese brand of measurement tools.

>>106388521
He's just wearing fancy white pantaloons (non-removable).

>>106389053
Fake news.

>>106389679
Your reading comprehension is lacking, and as a result you yourself are getting mad for no reason.
>and pinecil here is severely overhyped
>here
No one said anything about it being overpriced or overhyped in general, just locally.
Before the hype, you could buy it at the same online marketplace for a reasonable price, not anymore.

>>106389679
>>106389589
you don't need a pinecil.

>sellers asking me to cancel orders because of nebulous system issues
Why? Am I going to get chang'd?

>>106390068
Because no stock or he doesn't want to sell at this price. You can either cancel, or wait and he'll do the fake tracking shit, and you'll get your refund in a month. Sometimes they do send it but it's really rare and not worth the gamble.

Purged my wishlist and cleaned the cart. It still sits at around 50 items, but I'm satisfied for now. Probably order a couple of things and do a bit more housekeeping.

> follow seller
> gives seller discount
> cart drops to lower tier coupon
> cart total goes up

Im starting to wake up early in the morning because is nice to work and do my stuff. The only problem is the low temps. I want one of these jsut by the fact i found them pretty cool on Carter from family guy. Any tips on chinese fabrics? what's the catch? looks good on picture

>>106389171
>proprietary tips
Those look like JBC C245 clones, which are pretty widely available.

>>106391186
>Any tips on chinese fabrics
Yeah just splurge on real merino or alpaca wool, they don't even need to be washed just aired out

>>106391171
Ali coupons work with total amount tho?

>>106391370
Right. Some coupons disappeared from cart checkout. The coupon is still on my account.
Something spooky happened. The only action I took was following sellers. Then going back to the cart.

>>106391452
> This coupon is no longer available. Please try another.
I guess they're winding down the sale already.
Thank fuck I didn't wait until the end. That was my most used coupon and I collected a fuck ton of them.

>>106391186
First of all, don't listen to >>106391313 merino wool absolutely gets stinky, just slower than other fabrics.
Chinese fabrics are often thin or small cuts, so check the specs to see if the size is correct for you. If it is my guess is it'll be synthetic fleece, which will be decently long lasting and very soft, but not very breathable and start to smell if you sweat much in it.
Comparable to any cheap robe you can get locally likely, except maybe a bit cheaper or better in thickness.

Why are they allowed to advertise let alone sell this?

>>106391950
It will show up as a 16Tb drive on your device, dear friend.

anyone else living in not good country that gets insane coupons?
screenshot clearly not mine i am sloowly grinding diamonds like some poor african in diamond mines.

what level are you spamming for most xp on GoGo?

I don't interact with any of this shit, if I can't afford chinkshit (that's already cheap) then I shouldn't be wasting my money on chinkshit in the first place.
I'd also rather watch paint dry than waste my time on this drivel.

>>106392159
okay but you're the one calling

I got these for $104 cad

damn, you seem like a good husband/boyfriend. Congrats to the chick

>>106392159
>(that's already cheap)

yeah but it can be even cheaper, the thrill of just comboing coupons and getting shit for cents is addicting

>>106392111
This was a glitch, pretty based of them to actually honor the orders. They nerfed it to the ground the following week to compensate.

Are shopping credits broken?

I thought I was wise to the ways anon. It's not all an illusion, right?

>>106392766
Hard without bundles, but some random low cost items I recently bought or that come to mind:
3d printed mini ant nest, nutmilk bag (doubles as a filter), USB-C silicone plugs, bluetooth aux adapter, 5 pcs stainless toothpaste squeezer (also for other tubes), edc mini flashlight, 401 superglue, 2 part epoxy, index pads, pencils and pens, C-C cable, tea egg, if you're into electronics dupont wires or breadboards, analog hygrometer, bookmarks, thumb book page holder, back scratcher, nail scissors

>>106392832

so what was up with the autosage shenanigans

>>106393144
Look where this OP says [REDACTED] then look at what that was in the thread before that's linked.
That's why it happened.
Turns out I added a little too much spice to the news and some autofilter didn't like that.

Please recommend a not-shit chink SSD for storing games...

can anyone recommend chink drills or no

got chinked. Bought a 250 USD device and then sent me something else worth about 100 USD. Reputable company and mistakes happen but man the one time I buy something from the chinks they somehow fuck it up

>>106394054
Like from a third party store, or aliexpress?
If it's the latter dispute that shit and get your money back, aliexpress support is very customer friendly in my opinion
>>106393928
Price differences aren't worth it, get some cheap SSD locally.
>>106393954
Depends on what you want it for. If it's drilling into wood, thin metal, light stone or for furniture, just get a cheap generic one from amazon (that happens to be chinkshit too). I got one and it's surprisingly capable.
If you need it to be able to drill into walls (euro walls, not american walls), then get a proper one.
Also try to make sure the chink clone you get is compatible with one of the major battery brands (mikita is a classic), for cross compatibility and easier batterpack replacements.

Per previous thread and anon's advice. I ordered the RAM from China. I hope I do not regret this.

>>106393954
>>106394283
picrel is the one I got on amazon as a replacement for my cheap-ish one I had before where the charger broke. The battery pack had only fairly limited capacity left and wasn't sold anymore so I got a new one.
34€ for that one with 2 battery packs, the drill shell is cheap plastic, but it has enough power and the battery capacity seems correct, so quite a good deal imo.
Only downside is it has soft plastic around the handle, which is always risky for longevity.
Batteries are makita compatible, so easy to get replacements too.
If you're working with it often or with tough materials I'd get something better, but for the stuff you need a drill in daily household stuff usually, it's more than sufficient and the spare pack means you can basically use it uninterrupted indefinitely, as you can charge one battery while using the other.

>>106394283
nta but i do need an sdcard as well and most of the ones i can find here are chinese anyway. i dont care if its 16GB, its enough for me.

>>106394358
We're talking SSD not SD anon.
That being said SD cards are also usually similarly priced so in general I'd advise to just get them locally, but if you want some that aren't ass from aliexpress specifically look into those kodak branded ones or sharkcards. Sharkcards were a big meme in the past, no idea how they are now.

>>106394283
from the company directly.
They're a reputable hongkong based company with a US office and storefront in Texas

>>106394498
If you didn't pay with paypal, you're at their mercy, send them a nicely worded email and grovel at their feet hoping they fix it for you I suppose.
I've bought from third party stores as well (last was silverlight hiking socks iirc) but thankfully I haven't gotten burned (yet).
Ali is nice because it's pretty safe, once it's another store it's also their rules.
My condolences anon, that's a lot of money to get burned with.

not really though I can always dispute the charge with my credito cardo. I never buy anything from US or Chinese companies so the ball is in my court

>>106394351
thanks, might go for something like that but i think i'll check secondhand locally first, i didn't think about it earlier

>>106394606
Always check secondhand first, good idea.
Keep in mind if it's cordless that you may need to factor in a new battery pack.
But brands like makita or tyobi and shit often appear for very cheap on local craigslist alternatives and they offer better build quality usually, not like drills have changed that much in the last 10 years (other than battery design I suppose)

>>106387789
just don't look too closely at the face

do you anons know that you can use 70% alcohol soap to erase the package address and shit from the shipping labels?

Are coupon codes dependent on region or will that giant list posted here work in Canada too?
>>106367851


>>106394842
saw that in a youtube short recently

>>106394842
alcohol soap?...

Lighter anon has broken me. I'm now set on getting an overpriced all-titanium lighter with red cotton wick and camel wool. Not now, but at some point in the future.

>>106395006
disinfectant soap? my english is bad, is fucking late
shit just need to have alcohol, most inks are alcohol soluble so it will be erased

>>106395057
I never knew there was such a thing...

>>106395057
I assume you mean disinfectant with no soap in it, just diluted alcool

>>106395054
fuel lighters are meme if you don't use them daily,
fuel will just evaporate

>>106395057
Just get a bottle of isopropyl alcohol, it's cheap and comes in handy in various cleaning jobs. Every time you want to clean something and water isn't doing it, alcohol works.

That being said for shipping label and those fuckass labels that leave glue residue that's hard to clean, vegetable oil works wonders, unintuitively.

>>106395140
It's the Zippos that are a meme. No gaskets anywhere, so it all evaporates. Meanwhile the Zorro has a gasket for the lid, and in case of alternative inserts like the titanium one, a gasket lid on the bottom of the insert. Other lighter fuels that also use a gasket, like those emergency storm ones, also stay good for long due to actually getting sealed.

It's kinda like my experience with Swiss Army Knives. I got burnt on the cheap shit that was hard to open until I got my first genuine Victorinox. Then I understood why you should pay a premium for it.

Spray paint that is safe to use on electronic gadget backplates, frames or cases? Feels like there's always a funeral everytime I look at my stuff like those stinkpads and phone cases.

can you get good flux on AliExpress or nah?
any links?

I wouldn't know off the top of my head, but you can look here and price them out in your market:

>>106395753
It's not a bootleg. It comes in an original Sega box and looks indistinguishable from the Sega one on their site. Where do you think Sega manufactures their figurines? Japan? Fucking kek. I've made the mistake of ordering figurines from Japan before (while paying an outrageous $20-30 USD shipping fee), and upon examining them, all of them had "Made in China" printed on them. At least shipping from China is only $10 or so.

Guys, guys. I didn't want to wait and bought a tablet locally and it is redmi pad 2 LTE with hyper os2. I shall give it to my mother anyways.
And thank God, that I didn't buy a phone from china with this shitty laggy OS. I swear this is a biggest scoop of poop from xiaomi.

>>106399574
It's pretty compact.

>>106399576
>MTK Helio
I don't know what else did you expect.

>>106399582
Nah, I mean HyperOS is a downgrade from MIUI.

This deal is crazy, I'm not expecting much but 13 euros for gym earbuds with ANC seems like a good deal

>>106399636
I haven't used MIUI since MiPad (the one with Tegra SoC) and it wasn't that great. Just a cheap iOS ripoff. Heard they later added ads in settings or something. Can't imagine a new one being much worse.

>>106399661
Price doesn't mean much these days. I bought TWS for 1,51€ and they both arrived and worked.
That being said, the T3 pros get good reviews, so you probably can expect them to be pretty good. Just don't expect the ANC to be world class and you'll have some good tws on your hands.

>>106399843
yea i mostly just want some sort of anc so i can tune out the music my gym plays and play my own stuff

>>106399636
>>106399759
hyperos is superbloated. miui was actually very decent if you blocked all the bad stuff
even now my g95 phone struggles to boot up hyperos. a true testament to unoptimized aberration OS' everywhere

>>106399869
I almost bought much more expensive tablet from xiaomeme. But common sense stopped me.

2 off 2 coupon what are we buying

>>106399869
I feel like it's an Android issue, my old phone is struggling to run LineageOS nowadays. Switched to a high-end Xiaomi phone and it's been great.

>>106399636
Can confirm. I have to clear cache or it gets a bit slower. Never happened in miui. Fuck bloat.

Got a keyboard case for my tablet from the sale. It's now much better for shitposting, but the keyboard is far from perfect. Keys are a bit too small for my liking, but the travel and feel is alright. And one more thing they've got right -- touchpad, so you don't have to touch the screen all the time. Even added some keyboard shortcuts, like back and screenshot. Overall for the 30 Euro I paid for it's nice, but 150 MSRP is absurd.
Going to make watching the next ESA with /v/ros way nicer experience. Split between stream and a thread + no need for a virtual keyboard... Nice.

>>106400505
What tablet is that and what brand is it the case?
My mom was looking for something like that.

>>106400569
It's OnePlus Pad 2 and their own keyboard case. It's on sale right now on their official website.

>>106400505
> PCs to laptops to tablets back to laptops

>>106400582
I tried laptops and they are fuck. Don't have any anymore, so that tablet is my main portable device now (I travel a fair amount). Ignore the laptop below the tablet, that's work issued.
Although I am still thinking about getting a used 14" Razer sometimes.

>>106400505
Now we need a good os for tablets. Android is a pure garbage.

>>106400785
I'll never understand this complaint, why is it garbage?
It's way better than iOS.

>>106400785
Works for me. Can't think of anything I would want to do on the tablet that I can't now.

I got a couple hundred different items in so far and what I have learned is that little tech things from chinks are based and anything that is printed or painted is fucking trash.
Why can't chinks do prints? You'd think they'd have that on lock by now but asking them for some color quality is like asking a pajeet to avoid eating shit.

>>106400897
Because they stole these tech things, anon. They steal things from github and sell them on aliexpress.
Do you think why we have all these mechanical keyboards?

>>106399564
Yes

>>106400614
a microsoft surface is right up your alley. well, i don't know how good the latest models are but nevertheless, they've cracked the code on the utility of a tablet and making it a laptop with the attachment while being powerful enough for both tasks

>>106394054
update, support already sent off a new device overnight. However there must be something wrong with the chink brain because they want to cover the return shipping fee of 50 USD for the device worth 110 USD. Are they even gonna turn a profit in the end, or they do that because it only costs them cents to make the device kek

>>106392891
some very good suggestions here

>>106401224
As I said >>106400819
Besides, under 400 Euro for the tablet, keyboard and case is way below any relevant Surface.

has anyone here bought from made-in-china before?

>>106400970
>Do you think why we have all these mechanical keyboards?
Because the Cherry MX patents expired and now we get actual innovation and competition retard

New order placed, got a pretty decent discount all things considered, seems to be 20-25% off my order

>>106400897
I imagine because chinks like cheating you and doing the bare minimum
This is why clothes ESPECIALLY are REALLY shitty from chink sites, they'll use cheap as fuck thin materials that degrade easily

Something electronic either works (until it doesnt) or doesn't work, if you buy in bulk they'll usually have quite a few that don't work due to shit QA but if you buy a single thing they can't really cheat you out of that because if they try you'll just get refunded
If you try to get a refund because "b-but the painting is bad" you'll likely just get laughed at

>>106402236
What do you want from your player? I've got a couple through my life, and know a thing or two about them. Currently enjoying Snowsky Echo Mini because I can chuck it in the pocket when running errands or even cycling and don't worry about glass cracking or it weighing me down with all the premium materials. If I needed a more sophisticated DAP, I would look at Tempotec V1, Hiby R1, Shanling m0 pro, Hiby R4, Fiio JM21.

>>106389547
my fiio FH3 came in an identical case, maybe check them

>>106402255
>media, shitposting, browsing
I went from Tab S3 to iPad pro to OnePlus Pad 2 and can say with 100% confidence: no it's not. The browser situation on iOS is dire, everything built on top of that shitshow of an engine. They still haven't fixed a bug with YouTube seekbar not disappearing in fullscreen, years later. And on Firefox Android I can add almost any extension I run on the desktop. Dedicated apps? Even worse. Nothing even comes close to blue clover, and that thing isn't particularly good.
>media
You just run VLC on both systems, there's no difference.
I'll give you notes tho, those are really good on ipad.

Really just looking for something cost effective and simple, 6-8-ish hour battery life with either sizeable on-board storage or a microSD slot. Most of my music collection is in FLAC but I'd imagine everything will play that nowadays.

It's tricky because the good ones exist, but most are shit, and the specs are completely made up. I have a Euki X3 that I got from Amazon and it is good, you may be able to find the same model under a different brand in Aliexpress.

Still, I want a premium Zippo style lighter just because.

>>106402569
In no way is a bic lighter better
A (filled) zippo will always perform better
However most people don't care because at the end of the day it's only a small convenience and people would rather lose 10 bics a month than a zippo

They suck.

If you just like the style you can get butane or electric arc lighter inserts for normal zippo cases

>>106404660
It started solid, then came the "Privacy information coverage Fluid (???)" and it deteriorated from there. The xiaomi screwdriver is solid depending on your use. The novelty ring and mask seem cringe, but your taste your rules.

The lighter itself has a rubber gasket on the lid.
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009404389668.html
So does the titanium insert on the bottom.

That's why I believe that it would actually be good unlike the regular Zippo styles that I already had. It's actually seals when unused.

Right now I'm FOMOing on the end of the sale, thinking about what other junk to potentially buy after spending a good amount on crap that's to be shipped soon. It's a disease and they don't even need their tricks for it, the fact that they have all of this shit available is enough.

just wait for 11.11 bros

I fear I gambled too highly and may lose it all.

I ordered the 1 meter long fish plushy knowing full well that all the other listings of it refused to ship to me because it's too big. I hoped because it was a bundle they'd honor the obligation and send it anyways.

It's been 2 days now, usually it ships within a day, and no shipping updates on the bundle package.
Hold me bros, I'm afraid.

>>106404684
>The novelty ring and mask seem cringe, but your taste your rules.

dunno, wanted to try it, have to get rid of a bunch of packages and I want to see if it actually removes my name/address from the labels. I'm retarded enough to usually rip them out by hand

>>106405005
>dunno, wanted to try it, have to get rid of a bunch of packages and I want to see if it actually removes my name/address from the labels. I'm retarded enough to usually rip them out by hand

Anon... it's thermal paper. Can't you just heat it instead of using some chemical that you have to re-buy over and over again?
Like hold a lighter under the label so it heats up and it should turn black.

>Not sure why you're lumping the squeegee, aircon cleaning kit and tweezers in the "deteriorated from there"
Those were collateral, they've done no wrong. The tweezers are supposedly good, but mine haven't arrived so I can't speak to that.

>>106405043
>Anon... it's thermal paper. Can't you just heat it instead of using some chemical that you have to re-buy over and over again?
Like hold a lighter under the label so it heats up and it should turn black.
Well, shit... I've never tried that lmao. will test it out in the coming days, thanks for the tip lol.

I'm actually hyped for the squeegee, it has a spray bottle built into the handle, it could be the sleeper hit of the order.

Hall sensors I'm not too sure about, I've heard wonders about them but they all seemed cheap so I'm not sure if they perform as good as advertised. I do have a Dualshock 5 that got some humidity damage that I have to take apart and the sticks are currently gone for good so I figured it couldn't hurt to try them out.

The xiaomi screwdriver was a bit of an impulse buy, but it seems cool and I've been meaning to replace my ifixit kit for some time now

>>106404660
>>106404983
I guess everyone got shilled on the tweezers.
polish anon number one /csg/ salesman.

>>106405137
To be fair, what man can not get excited about a good set of tweezers.

>>106405118
See picrel, I don't have any aliexpress packaging round, but the label should be thermal printed which means that as long as you get it to the heat that it was printed at, it'll blacken. I used a label from my label printer that also uses thermal print for the picture to illustrate. Obviously if I had moved the flame a little around it'd be all black.
And no this isn't soot nor do I want you to set your package on fire (be careful with a flame that you don't melt the plastic or set it on fire), it's just the pigment activating.

What can I say, I was very pleasantly surprised with them at that price point after getting a crappy cheap tweezer set. Cheng had a video where he was slamming these into a sheet of metal, piercing it without any damage to the tweezers, and I can believe that. Sturdy, grippy, the SMD holding shape is pretty versatile, comes in a very nice case. All for pennies. Guess I had a good hunch remembering that Mechanic is like that one brand that does good soldering stuff when I was looking for Bundle crap to order.

Damn i should've got some tweezers

Figure anon here again with another Aliexpecial.
This one is definitely a bootleg and I was aware of it before ordering, but the review pictures looked so good that I had to check for myself.
The sculpt itself is stellar, the hair particularly (a part they usually skimp out on) looks very decent. Only defect I could find are the fingers, their moulding looks a bit fused together and they could do with a bit of filing.
The painting is also really good, all the clothing details look sharp and I couldn't find any sploshes. I did circle the holes in her thighhigh where the skin isn't coloured right, it looks paler than it should be but it doesn't look as bad as it does on camera.
The fishnet pattern also doesn't line up exactly.
It comes with the mask and two other faces and they're all painted well, I just happen to like the masked look the best.
Overall it's definitely way better than the $30 bucks I paid for it (with coupon).
Here's the link https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008755264827.html

IDK about most powerful, but this is the one I have. Battery isn't fully topped up but it's pretty close. It's 143g of thrust. I could not imagine needing any more thrust, this thing is super powerful.

My only complaint is the controls. I can't ever remember what the right sequence to power it on is, just that I think you usually have to long press the power button twice. Once it's on, the trigger is great and lets you feather it well.

I wouldn't pay $60 for it though. I bought it for $35 about a year ago. Thanks trump.

>3D Wooden Cookie Cutter Moulds
They won't work the way you want and unless you get the dough into the perfect consistency they'll either crack and not fill the form properly or wet and stick to the mold. Even if you could get that consistency right (which again, you won't) you'd use it like once or twice. 3D print one if you really must, or just make normal cookies.

>Pastry Dough Tamper Set
That tamper does very little that a spoon, wooden stick, or old drink can can't, The flower shape is cute, but the plastic will bend as you throw it into the drawer with all the other implements you don't use, and you'll also use it once for the novelty and never again. The two times you want this shape you can just cut it with a knife and use it as is. It's the illusion of time saving without any substance.

>Wooden thumb bookmark
I can't shittalk this too much, I have one, but you have to a) read enough to justify it and b) it's kind of uncomfy to hold a book that way (try it with your normal thumb), so you tend not to use it in daily life.

>Cable organizer
Works, but let's be honest how often do you need to reattach wire tape? Just use generic tape and the one time every 3 years you need to open one up cut it open with scissors and add new tape.

>PCB blanks
Post projects you want to use them for, and why you want to use through hole components for it, or you weren't gonna use it anyways.

>Metal tube squeezers
These are pretty based ngl, but you better have some tubes you can use them on, they work best on tubes made of aluminium.

>>106406456
Battery ones are inherently weak unless you spend like $100 on an enthusiast one. If you're at home using it you don't need it to be cordless.
I have this and it's a beast with a 600W motor. It fills my room with a cloud of dust when I clean my PC, has enough pressure to get dust out of heatsink fins at a distance, and will probably last forever because it's just a big motor wired straight to AC through a switch.

I'd recommend getting the name brand velcro tape: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RKGXHPM

Comes pre-cut, so no scissors required, and it has a hole so you can loop it onto your cable so it doesn't get lost. Price is comparable with Ali ($0.45/m)

What does that mean in browser? I use it on a tablet, I guess the only thing it misses the tab bar, which you say they now added. What else does it need?

That flashlight is a fuck (shit), screwdriver has very low torque, but considering the sizes of bits it's fine. Rest is useless junk to me, but only because I either don't have whatever it used with, or don't wear rings.
I used to wear a fitness ring I've got for ten bucks that works with the GadgetBridge, but came back to the Garmin watch.

>>106404974
I will, and then I'll go out. GameCube style gamepad, almost 100 bucks charging station, and, uhh, that's all, I think.

>>106406895
>GameCube style gamepad
what brand/model

>>106402521
You're describing Echo Mini. Simple, cheap, 256Gb SD card support, about 6-7 hours playtime in my experience. The main issue is that the UX is dogshit for large libraries, but as a shuffle machine it's great. Even has 4.4mm balanced out for some reason.

>>106406902
LinYuvo KS62.

>>106406927
fuck
now i have to buy one

>>106406917
>>106402521
I don't wanna be that guy, but why not just use your phone?

this cheapshit boom mic i bought doesnt work with my apple dac dongle, but when i tried it with another headset i recently bought for my lil bro it works just fine

robbed of $4 again...

>>106406927
what the hell are these jellybean back buttons

>>106406965
For me it's the fact that a) player actually fits in the pocket when I'm cycling b) if it goes flying it either survives, or I'm out of 50 bucks, and not several hundreds c) I like having single purpose devices with no distractions

>>106406981
It's not for GameCube (obviously) and modern controllers are basically expected to have back paddles.

>>106407052
what are you supposed to bind to them
this nyxi gamecube controller has more sensible sized buttons also

>>106387656 (OP)
Humor me anons. I live in a decently sized metro (Sacramento greater area). Whats good chinkshit I can buy and flip on Facebook Marketplace for decent margins? I'm bored and have too much extra time on my hands.

>>106407078
A good chinkshit what?

>>106407046
don't you carry your phone around with you anyway?

>>106407074
back buttons are usually used for macros

back paddles can't even be used as actual buttons because for some insane reason xinput has a 10 button limit

>>106406883
They're comb picks. Some locks are so badly made that you can just lift all of the pins above the shear point and still open the lock, making these a 0 effort picking tool

>>106407149

Ok, but what the fuck are you even talking about in the first place?
A chinkshit WHAT?

>>106407271
he wants random shit to buy and resell to unsuspecting boomers on facebook

>>106407300
Ah ok, I thought he wanted a chinkshit foldable scooter or something since he mentioned living in a metro area.

>>106407271
Handheld chinkshit, house decorations. Coasters. Don't really care

we HODL until 11.11
maybe a new tablet with upsized coupons and cashback. 3 months to think about this and build that wishlist up

>>106407074
Whatever you want. I bound l3 and r3 to them because I really dislike pressing sticks.

>>106407095
Not always, not in the pocket when I do, and it doesn't even have a headphone out. Adding a dongle creates additional stress on the port and drains the battery even faster.

>>106407437
Ignore them. Every fucking time you tell them you don't want to use your phone these niggas will literally fight you like it's a youtube politics debate video.

>>106407437
>and it doesn't even have a headphone out
next time don't buy a paperweight

>>106407407
Are you not afraid of what's coming in January 2025? Like how the bozos who bought a poco x6 pro last 11.11 cried when the X7 Pro was released 2 months later?

>>106408075
i'm not a chinkshit noob because i know that 11.11 is a pricepoint sale
if i'm waiting for the newest phone i'll do my research to see when the next one comes out and i'll buy it off-season when it's on sale. people who are waiting for new phones to come out during 11.11 or BF are delusional dumb-dumbs
i'm old enough to still remember the xiaomi livestreams where they announce their release line-up and then sell them in early feb

>>106408210
so yeah, a PSA to uninformed:
chinkphones usually release their main series in jan until march to coincide with chinese new year.
if you want to buy from the main series the best time to get it is during mid-march which is the ali anniversary sale
11.11 is perfect if you want to buy the current gen phone or from their budget to mid-range which releases throughout the year (realme, poco C series, redmi A series, etc)

>>106406394
That one is not for me anon I swear
>>106406434
Thank you anon.
>They won't work the way you want and unless you get the dough into the perfect consistency they'll either crack and not fill the form properly or wet and stick to the mold. Even if you could get that consistency right (which again, you won't) you'd use it like once or twice
Is that genuinely or are you just putting me off? This one was meant as a gift too, so if it's shit and won't be used I won't get it at all. I didn't mind spending a bit more on that
>you'll also use it once for the novelty and never again
true, but it's only 2 dollars or something. tho.. you may be right on just doing it with what I got
> often do you need to reattach wire tape?
enough that I already have a roll, just in a differen colour
You're right in that none are time specific, except maybe the moulds. Just wondered if it was worth the current sale. I'll keep em around
>>106406544
I like this anon, thanks. Price is much higher tho.
Which means I went to look at the chinese alternatives.Which in turn means I now have something extra I want to order.

Which emulation chinkhelds (new or upcoming) should I keep an eye on for 11.11?

any chinky shoe recommendations or should I not even bother? proper shoes cost like 120€ over here and they're still mangled after 2-3 years.

>>106404556
was there perhaps something that in retrospect you should have set on fire?

>>106409288
buy the $10 ones and throw them away after 2 months (greenfags hate this trick)

>>106406968

What

>>106409235
Depends on what you want from it. Just dip your toes? R36S, R36H, R36XX. They're constantly on sale, could've gotten one for under 20 yesterday.
Up to PS1? Anything from the Anbernic XX series. CubeXX, 34XX, 34XX SP, 40XX; Mangmi Air X; Trimui Brick (no sticks) and Brick Hammer (same, but metal).
PS2 is on the table? Retroid Pocket 5 (but it's always cheaper on their website), Anbernic 557 and 447M. Konkr Pocket Fit might come out by that time.
Want to add Switch to the mix, and up the rendering resolution for PS2 and WiiU? Ayn Odin 2 series (and 3 will probably be out by then), Ayaneo Pocket Ace.
And last, but definitely not least, if you want something weird: Retroid Classic (vertical handheld with no sticks, that can run GameCube games, but you can't control them; has a great screen), MagicX Zero40 (2DS slab that can only run DS games and below), Ayn Thor and Ayaneo Pocket DS2 (clamshells with two screens), OneXSugar (see for yourself what the fuck that is).
Small boys (up to PS1): RG28XX, Trimui A30.
Ones to avoid: anything Miyoo (they either barely can run a thing above GBA or have cracking hinges; ignore the OnionOS lovers, not worth it), anything DataFrog (shit), Retroid Flip 2 (cracking hinges, except for a green color).
Retroid, Ayn, Ayaneo usually have better prices and run better sales on their own stores.

>>106407469
I've been using dedicated music players since 2012 (ipod touch -> ipod classic -> zishan Z2 -> shanling m0 (my love) -> xduoo x3-ii -> shanling m2s -> snowsky echo mini), and a single post definitely wouldn't make me stop.

>>106409948
Now I also remembered that in the early-to-mid 2000s I was still rocking a cassette player and CD player after that for a year or so (we were poor back then).

>>106406968
thats not chang fault its apple's

>>106410234
its so weird the hyperx cloud 2 works just fine though i get the impression its this specific chinkcable thats swapped

>>106406540
Might consider it, but ngl I like the convenience of it being cordless and also being able to use it as a small vacuum cleaner in my car. Then again that means it's also weak. The turbo fan one seems interesting since it has enough power to dust shit, and some variants on Ali also come with the vacuum attachment, but I'd like to know what to look for and what to avoid with these.
>>106406744
Yeah the Ali algo is fun for discovering weird shit that you never knew you needed but always wanted. It's a goddamn curse I'll tell ya.
>>106407149
It's because XInput is a limiting dogshit standard where it's a 1:1 mapping of an Xbox 360 controller that won't let you assign any more buttons than the X360 has. Microsoft even purposefully fucked over DInput so that the X360 triggers correspond to a single axis so that you cannot use them independently.
>>106409838
I'm assuming they're designed to be more comfortable to wear without socks.

I remember that I first started off with Creative devices, but after getting my first smartphone I stopped using DAPs altogether. Now I would have a hard time switching over to them again since Poweramp has spoiled me.

>>106410246
>>106409838
thought it was pretty common now cause I see it a lot
barefoot shoes means they are close to what its like to be barefoot
the sole is flat, thin and flexible, and the front end is wide and shaped to accommodate your toes in a more natural, spread position.
this makes you walk more like you were made to evolutionary.
its hard at first cause it can hurt especially if you step on something, also it uses muscles you never used before.
with modern shoes you smash the heel on the ground cause there's insane padding.

>>106410271
My point was you can't have a barefoot shoe

>>106410293
it makes sense when you think about it
its a (for) barefoot (feeling) shoe

>>106407469
Why are you so angry? I literally just asked this person what compelled them to use a music player rather than the phone they carry around with them, I'm not trying to argue but to understand another person's point of view.
You retards who have to shut down any and all discussion make me depressed, how the fuck are people supposed to gain new knowledge and perspective if they get shut down when asking a question?

>>106407437
>>106409948
Thanks for the replies anon, I think I stopped using music players around the time the iphone 3g came out and never really looked back - arguably for the longest time phones where cheap enough and had a jack so I didn't really need to care about an alternative. Nowadays I use bluetooth headphones if I need to and not really listen to music from my phone when I'm out and about, I think isolating myself from external noise makes my anxiety spike a bit

>>106406357
Half the things seem useless to me
>tooth paste squeezer
>dough tamper
>wooden thumb
Just use your hands.

>3D wooden mould
Wood would seem like a shit thing to use for moulds but they aren't "fine print" or what you call it moulds with intricate details so idk really might work decent enough.
Personally would only bother with classical metal moulds or get a stamper kind.

>>106410301
No sane person would come to that conclusion from.that oxymoronic name

Where can I get decent battery holders that aren't undersized and actually holds the batteries snuggly?

>>106408640
>Is that genuinely or are you just putting me off
A bit of column a, a bit of column b.
It's wood, so it's cool as a gift in that regard, but you can see from even their video that it's a kind of slow workflow; you have to roll a piece onto the wood, then cut it to size and repeat that for each one. It's much slower than generic cookie cutters.
Also you do have to get the consistency of the dough right, because otherwise both the issues I mentioned can happen - that being said it's not as hard as I made it out to be to get dough consistency right. The fact that it can be a bit of an issue you can see from the fact that they recommend you add starch into the piece as a mold release agent.
That being said it's not useless - it's a bit like mooncake molds, slower and more finicky but in return the end result looks cool, so it may be worth it to some.
Honestly as far as gifts go it looks decent.
>You're right in that none are time specific, except maybe the molds. Just wondered if it was worth the current sale. I'll keep em around
That's usually the best way to go about it, I keep a bunch of shit in my bundles cart that I may or may not want, then use those to fill bundles up to 6 items (the sweet spot for savings for me).

have you ever tried to convince someone else to not waste money on brand name shit when the same unbranded product is available from the chinks for way cheaper? especially consumables that you have to replace often, e.g. sponges or microfiber cloths?
If so, how did you do it?

If that person trusts you, it's much easier to convince them.

>>106410339
Imagine someone asking for suggestions for a boxcutter to open boxes at work, or a corkscrew to open wine bottles at a wedding, or a nail file, or a screw driver, etc. and someone just tells you to buy a swiss army knife. Okay, that utility knife could do all these job, but it might not do it well and may not fit the occasion.
This is exactly what's going on here. Not the same price point, not the same form factor, and you're ignoring external factors like him possibly getting mugged for it. Weights and size are different. the extra features a smartphone has are not required for his needs.

I don't think I'm a retard anon. In fact I'm infinitely more helpful than anyone who's ignoring the assignment and giving an answer which you're fine with. You need to unclutch your pearls and grow up if getting called out like this upsets you.

>>106411266
Nah in this case 99.9% of people will just use their phone that they already own, and I don't blame that anon for not knowing why the left over 0.1% would want something else.

>>106411266
your example does not make sense, I would call it retarded but I'm trying to be nice.
A more apt example would be someone from work saying "Recommend a good boxcutter anon" while they carry around a perfectly good alternative (the swiss army knife) with them all the time. My question then wouldn't be "why don't you just buy a swiss army knife that costs 10x as much?" but rather "why not use the swiss army knife you already own and carry around with you?".
From that exchange I could then learn something new, if they have a good reason to want the boxcutter regardless.
