Thread 106503592

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.

Anon, you should get one of these desk hooks for your 770's. I rest my 990's on it and it does the job. Cheap and non-permanent.

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006975903156.html

I also now realized I kinda fucked up by trimming the padding since it's also meant to go on the edge that goes to the desk. Oh well.

>>106503677
Thanks for the suggestion, but I do have a headphone hook, I just didn't use it for that quick picture.
See picrel, I 3D printed a holder on the skadis board on the wall where it rests when I'm not using the pc.

Haul arrived.

>1m long fish plushy (7.19€)
It is actually 1m long, but rather thin. Still pretty insane for 7€. It looks funny enough and goes well with my silica gel and battery pillows. It's nice overall.
>Xiaomi Sound Pocket (15€)
I was the anon that posted the review a while back, loved it so much I got another as a gift for a relative that doesn't have a bluetooth speaker. It's great.
>Analog dial calipers (14€)
These are great. Seem accurate enough for my uses (I can't tell if it's actually 0.02mm, but it's close enough for my use). Mini review of those following, I like them a lot.
>Ant nest (2.29€)
That's right baby, the antism is back. I got another ant nest to use as temporary nest until the colony size is big enough to move into the bigger ones without too much stress. It's solid as a starter nest, comes with outworld, water tower, and a feeding area. Nice value.
>Polish anon's psyops tweezers (2.81€)
I hate to admit it, but these are pretty solid. Nice case too. The tweezers themselves feel relatively average, but they are very sturdy and don't deform easily, which gives me hope that they have a lot of longevity. A quick try on some smd parts showed picking them up is easy enough. Worth the money for sure compared to those ultra thin shitty ones you see in bundles a lot.
>Alligator clips (1.43€/10pcs)
>Multimeter probes (1.44€)
>Nutmilk bag (1.30€)
Not much to say about all 3 of these, I needed them, they do what they say, I'm happy.
>8 piece coaster set (4.05€)
Very happy with these. They are nicely sized, look nice, the wire holder feels sturdy and overall they just feel like great value. Somewhat thick of course, but I don't mind that. Would recommend.

>>106503979
Regarding the analog calipers, picrel is them compared to my digital ones I used before. As you can see we're really close here, within 0.06mm of disagreement for a given measurement, and I'm sure 0.02 or so of that is because I'm not pressing them against each other properly.

The analog calipers are very repeatable and come with both a screw to fix them at a given measurement (the one on top) and a screw to re-zero them (at the bottom).
Compared to the digital ones, they are a bit harder to move, as in take more force, because you have to move the mechanism inside too. This also has the downside of them being a bit stiffer in the position they are in though, so while with the digital calipers I'd sometimes get annoyed because after measuring if I moved the calipers away from the object to read the screen I was unsure if it had moved, I doubt this will happen with the analog ones.
The depth feeler is also a bit sturdier than the one on the digital calipers.

In the end, the big question will be corrosion, but they feel really nice to use, the fact that they have no battery is great and they were reasonably priced overall. Would definitely recommend, probably my highlight of this haul.

>>106504051
>This also has the downside of them being a bit stiffer
I meant upside, not downside. The downside is them being a bit harder to move into position, upside is them staying in position once they are there.

>>106503979
>Polish anon's psyops tweezers
If only Mechanic paid me for shilling them...

Meanwhile Big Jeff has fucked up the delivery so I'll be getting my Xiaomi speaker on Monday when I should've gotten it yesterday. Oh well. Hopefully, it will have been worth the wait.

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009205122159.html
Should I?

>>106504087
I love Mechanic's solder

>>106504227
What's the usecase?
For hiking it's probably good, titanium items for hiking are great in general, though then I wonder why you'd want double walled.
For hot drinks like tea 175 ml feels a little small and cold alcoholic drinks won't be cold once you've hiked there, so the advantage of double walled seems lost at that point.
I'd just get those normal single walled titanium mugs with foldable grip and a little larger (mine is 420ml) those are far more versatile.

If you just want it for at home alcoholic drinks and like the vibes, sure go for it. Titanium items are usually a pretty good buy from ali.

>>106503372
You can sometimes find it at Carrefour or those little shops that sell snacks from all over the world.
Also, Tesco Poland isn't gone. I would know, I work there. We just don't sell anything anymore here to people.
>>106503881

>>106504288
Thanks anon, I just to them to replace my ceramic tea cups at home, my kid keep breaking them lol

>>106504335
Better get those painted steel ones. They're cool.

>>106503979
The fish epidemic continues...

>>106504335
That's actually a fairly good usecase then, the weight savings don't matter to you, the small volume doesn't either, but the material being sturdy helps. Usually I'd say stainless is better in that case, but at that price either is fine.
Should be fine, but keep in mind that "double walled" does not mean it won't get hot, even though titanium is a notoriously shit heat conductor.
Might still be a bit hot for comfort for your kids compared to something with a handle.
>>106504333
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008950818952.html
I got them as part of bundles, but when clicking that link they seem to be even cheaper (2.80€) as part of super deals right now (but you need 10€ to get free shipping).
>>106504369
Fish want me.
Women fear me.
Wish I didn't have such a bigass noggin' that most hats don't fit me, or I'd buy picrel or the infamous kommandostore hat.

>>106504227
Titanium cups, fuck yeah. Using this one for tea on hikes, not insulated, but it doesn't really matter to me. It's nice.

>>106504465
We /cupposting/ today?
Fair enough.
Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lid too if yours doesn't already have one. Cuts down on the spent fuel to heat your water. Some even come with built-in holes to filter out tea leaves and such.

>>106504536
>lid
I would, but I'm very casual hiker: only day hikes in national parks. I just bring an insulated bottle with tea, and don't burn fires of any kind. So the lid is not exactly useful to me. I just like titanium, fucking great metal.

>>106504684
Fair enough, if you go on multi day hikes it's nice because you can save on fuel if you're using a stove rather than a wood fire, but for a dayhike it truly doesn't matter.

With all the talk about titanium, I kinda want this one https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005878084076.html but my current razor is already perfect for my skin and buying just for the sake of buying is just too much

>>106504319
>Also, Tesco Poland isn't gone. I would know, I work there. We just don't sell anything anymore here to people.
what the fuck does that even mean

>>106504710
>146€ for an item that won't perform any better than a stainless steel one you can get for sub 10€
Yeah, stay away kek.

>>106504747
>stainless steel one you can get for sub 10€
huh? where do you get those? cheap razors are mostly zamak, all stainless steel cnc razors are pretty pricey

>>106503708
This is giving me VRChat vibes.

>>106504821
I have no idea what that means. Is that good? Is that bad?
All I know about VRChat is that people use it to e-sext with people (=children) online and that one webm of a vet as a piglet avatar talking about his deployment.
I do have VR (that thick cable that's hung from the ceiling), but VRChat never tempted me for some reason.

>>106504770
>Zamak
That's probably what they are then, even if they are labeled stainless. Would make sense as good grade stainless is somewhat expensive.
Still functions the same though, I have one of those cheap qshave adjustable ones, no corrosion after many years, works like it did on day 1.

>>106504051
very nice, anon
I got my Shahe caliper last week. I like it. If it ever breaks or whatever I'll get the analog one. So I don't have to feel nervous while using like I might accidentally damage something expensive.
I fucked up in the same order buying the wrong size screws by a few mm. Wouldn't have happened if I had calipers before. Should have gotten this type of tool a long time ago.

>>106504869
Glad to hear, I'm sure the shahe calipers are great too.
>I fucked up in the same order buying the wrong size screws by a few mm
Bit of a longshot, but if you have a 3D printer, print yourself one of picrel (that's makerworld, but thingiverse has them too). Very convenient to sort your bolts or screws after a project into their proper place again.

>>106504863
Yeah zamak razors are cheap because it made by casting while brass, stainless steel and titanium are using cnc machine especially stainless and titanium will wear the machine much much faster than brass, took much more time to cnc than brass, cnc machines are often lease by hours so the prices of cnc stainless steel or titanium reflects that

>>106503592 (OP)
I have been browsing this general for only one day now and I gotta be honest, this is the best thread on /g/. Anons getting scammed, anons with chink buttplugs catching fire, homeless anons who buy stuff for 0$. This is great.

>>106504721
Basically, tesco poland took a corporate stance on their approach for the country and joined the #1 driver of polish GDP, loansharking and carjacking.

>>106505144
Glad to hear. We're here for it all, the highs and the lows.

>>106505176
And now Poland is set to overtake the UK in GDP. Then again, it's not like the UK is going forward so it's not a fair race so to speak.

>>106505233
That's a bit like lapping the disabled kid on sports day in school. No honor in that.

>>106503624
I did go to the chat but it brought me to one of those bot chat pages and as soon as I mentioned the issue, it just brought up the dispute window.

Hopefully it doesn't affect anything in the future i mean shit it was only $2 I could have done without the refund just fine

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007562663363.html

I bought one of these wooden cookie cutters
I haven't actually used it but it's arrived and I'm surprised at how sturdy and weighty it is. It feels well made. I don't know what I expected but I am surprised

>>106505144
>>106505197
the real chinese shit is the friends we made along the way....

>>106505759
social credit score is just a joke, don't get scammed and take it just because you think it'll somehow hurt you down the line.
if it does exist they'll just make you send the item back to them instead of giving you an instant full refund, and they already do that for items above like $10.
the last time i got the wrong item they just made me take a picture of it after "destroying" it.

>>106504465
>>106504536
I used to have a metal cup from the chinks and I started drinking water from it, until I realized that it actually makes it taste like metal. Then I remembered that peasants and alike used to die from lead poisoning because of the cups they used. So I figured, can I be sure that a chinese mug is actually made out of materials that won't kill me? Absolutely not, so I trashed it

>>106505985
You are entitled to your own opinion, but the one you bought locally instead comes from the exact same production line in the end.

Losing my shit to that shit. Nice haul, anon.

>>106505997
same production line, except the company that bought that from the same company is responsible for it when they fuck up and poison a hundred thousand people. they have a monetary reason to apply QC and check if the chinks didn't switch the metal formula to save 2 cents.
you aren't going to get your lawyers in contact with TRADER122112312904821 but walmart sure as hell is going to have to respond to you.

>>106506188
We regularly get anons with your viewpoint in here on a visit I presume.
You're free to have that view, it's a free country. In my opinion it leads you to overpay for a misplaced sense of patriotism, but by all means, get your stuff from walmart instead.
Though then this isn't the thread for you frankly.

what's the best best mouse that you can get for under 50 bucks on Ali?

>>106506681
I don’t know about the best but I do know that you should have a lot of options at that price point. Just don’t get really high polling rate mice because they simply don’t have good implementations. As a matter of fact, they don’t have good implementations in general, even for non-chink products, but the ones on aliexpress are probably even worse. I blame Interrupt driven IO

>>106506681
The coolermaster mm720 is my favorite cheap mouse, but I think they've discontinued it so it might be harder to find. Also not sold on ali.

>>106506777
a spider could live in one of these

>>106506866
There's a transparent underlayer to those holes, it can't get in other than through openings that every mouse has

>>106506876
>it can't get in
so then what's the fucking point

>>106506890
Less plastic = less weight. Same reason you may find honeycomb patterns on some bottle caps nowadays.

>>106506890
I dunno, weight or something. It is a very light mouse.

>>106500396
This isn't the exact one I bought but very similar. Bear in mind my use was circa 2020.

To collect dead skin cells and start being nasty quicker.

Are cheap mouse skates likely to be bad? I scuffed the ones on my deathadder while opening it to clean/lube the switches and scrollwheel. They start at $2 on ali.

>>106506387
no, i regularly buy chinkshit but i never buy stuff that's related to anything that goes into my body.
for something simple like a thermos cup i'd easily pay an extra dollar to make sure that the people selling it will get fucked if they try anything.
i don't even know how you came to the conclusion that this was some form of patriatism.

I am obligated to inform that the Judy daki has Landed. It's absolutely massive and shockingly high quality, Mikora Anime Store can be trusted. Fortuitously some retractable chargers and a hat came in at the same time, also high quality.

>>106507175
Glad to hear from you again, drunk-anon sama.
I suppose your drunken mind didn't make as much of a mistake as originally thought (beyond... the obvious).

That paw looks a bit AI generated to me, but even if it is, who cares.
Now godspeed and though you may leave your humanity behind, remember that you can always come back from the brink of the abyss.

>>106507199
oh I'm sure it's the sloppiest of ai, I'm just surprised at the sharpness of the print quality and material, pics not doing justice at all. Gotta hand it to the seller.
Humanity is pretty fucking cringe but I'll consider it after ruining this thing

>>106507175
If it a full daki, pillow and cover, or just the cover? Also what price?

>>106507221
>Humanity is pretty fucking cringe
It all depends on if you are using your free will, most people are not. Life's pretty great once you realize you can just... do things. Without justification. Want to go out at night and eat soup from a thermos on a bench in the park while listening to jams on headphones? You can just do that. Buy a 6 pack of beer and hand the bottles to strangers without explanation. Pay for a strangers groceries. Build a machine that has no purpose. Make a song that sucks.
But something tells me a man who buys a fullsize pillow of a sexualized version of a rabbit from a kid's movie for getting their rocks off won't have issue with the free will part.

Those aren't really a thing where I live, there's still relatively high trust here (at least in my parts). Also I'm white, so worst case it's a 5 min talk with the cops and them asking if I'm okay.
But obviously avoid illegal shit. My point is just you can do things without justification. You can go to the movies alone, or go to the gym (if it's open 24h) at 4am. Noone can stop you.
I think you're mostly memeing but I had that epiphany when I was in a not so great place, and understanding rather than knowing that you can be free is powerful.
I spent a lot of time never doing anything unless it was justifiable and I don't think it was good for my soul, sometimes you just have to do stuff because you wanted to.

I used to be like that a lot, still just do random things all the time, but it's unhealthy so I toned it back. We need structure. It's healthier to have a routine, to sleep and wake up at set times.
Last week I just went walking with my son after a visit to the doctor with nothing in mind and we discovered a nice place with a hidden garden and a kids corner. I don't know why but walking makes communication easier too. I take him to school through different routes to make it interesting.
Sometimes I skip the gym and just walk alone for an hour or two discovering places all over the city, listening to music.
But doing stuff at night or after midnight, no more for me. I used to lose sleep all the time doing errands for my restless insomniac brain and it would spiral into desyncing with a healthy routine, apathy, depression.

>>106507754
The fact that your CPU is requesting updates from the mouse 8000 times/second... The USB bus doesn't interrupt the CPU to get higher priority. That's why it's called a polling rate. PS/2 mice and keyboards do send interrupts, making their latency lower than optical mice in almost every case.

>>106507728
Doing god's work anon

>>106507912
Just because the USB controller is acting as a middleman for the mouse interrupts, it doesn’t change the fact that USB mice are also interrupt driven IO devices. You are right about the latency however, but this one is a given because the CPU doesn’t have to wait for shit when dealing with PS2.

you don't need the filters if you just have a window, some ducting or flexible vent pipe and a high airflow fan should be enough.
the filters are only for if you're in an enclosed space.

Here's black pill about mice
No one can recommend a good one because the most important aspect of a mouse isn't the technology like the switches or sensors, it's the subjective mouse shape
A mouse could be the best technical marvel in the world but if it feels like shit in your hand, it's bad (for you)
The best you can do is consider mice you found comfortable in the past and check eloshapes.com for mice that are similarly shaped.
Then find the one(s) with a PAW3395 sensor or if you're really strapped for cash, a PAW3311 sensor.

coin discounts are dependent on the device you're using with the app. my mi pad and pocophone has max discounts of 95% while my alldocube mostly has 10% and 35% with 1-2% filling up the rest
why? i assume it has something to do with ali only recognizing devices from major brands and to avoid people from getting coin discounts by running an android emulator on their computers?

>but it's unhealthy so I toned it back. We need structure
This is probably one of those situations where if you're at either extreme, it's good to move towards a middle ground.
Obviously I'd agree we need structure, but I think I had too much structure, where every action I'd take needed justification or I'd not do it, resulting in a pretty boring existence. But obviously if you have no structure, that's just as soul-sucking.
>But doing stuff at night or after midnight, no more for me
Honestly the midnight examples were primarily because I couldn't come up with stuff that's both an expression of free will and generalized. I'm blessed with great sleep, so I never had that issue, but I know some people with issues sleeping and it sounds like hell. In the end it's all about doing what works for you.
In my case I was just a little too much in the rational/justified lane and needed some more "because I can" stuff in my life.

>think about the first porno you watched and how easy it was to get off, and now you need the 35min ultra hardcore hentai vore MV
Is that common? For some reason I hear that all the time but it's never been the thing for me. With one notable exception that's barely outside the norm (and most people would consider still a relatively vanilla fetish as far as fetishes go), it's all vanilla shit for me.
Vaginal, Breeding, the occasional bridal gown, leg lock, preferably as a written story.
If anything I've gotten more tame over time kek. All the hardcore hentai shit freaks me the fuck out, especially if they're screaming or crying or some shit.

But I get your point about addiction and would agree that it can be just as addictive as any other vice, it's just that people seem to reward it a special position or something.

https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005699161866.html

I got one of those about two years ago since my active speakers died. It works fine, but it won't play a noise until the sound is a little high. If I'm playing a game, like minecraft, where walking makes a tiny noise, it won't play them, but when I break a block, it will, but only the later half of the break noise, and then it will play anything until the noise floor is low again.
If I'm playing music, it's mostly fine, unless there is a song with some silence in the middle or the pause between song and song is too long.
Same with videos, if there is a pause or something, when they talk again, it will take half a second.
Any way to disable this "sleep" mode, or maybe lower the noise floor?

>>106507529
Why did you buy an aislop one though? It looks awful.

>>106510552
He noted that he was very drunk when making the purchase. Chances are he didn't notice while drunk.

Generic advice.

Sending to device using bluetooth ?
- Try connecting it to your phone seeing how it behaves.
- See if you can change what bluetooth codec it uses.
- Try switching to using the aux port and seeing if that changes anything.

>>106510484
Oh now im mad, no more free shipping for you
Lets see how those coins help you here

>>106508210
Start doing this.

So I bought this RAM for my Laptop, the 16GB DDR4 3200MHz one

Don't know much about RAM but asked here beforehand. Everything seems to check out desu. Ran a full memtest, no issues.
Don't know how to check for authenticity though if I'm honest.

>>106511150
I forgot the link bros
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008107794166.html
Please do not judge me or mock my shortcomings, for we are all human and err from time to time.

Gems got nerfed. Only $1 and $5 redeems. The $5 is immediately out of stock.
Theoretically you can exchange $42 per order. They expire in 7 days. It's contingent on being able snipe the $5 for 7 days in a row.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're contending with bots.
Sucks for those hardcore grinders who were hoping to exchange the $50. There are certainly some out there who have amassed $100 maybe even $200 worth of gems if they completed every task every day.

>>106511295
I didn't go hard, but I have like 73k gems, and they're basically useless now. I mean I kinda get that it was unsustainable, but it's still annoying. I suppose I'll just try to drain them with 1$ redeems with any order I planned on doing anyways.

>>106511326
do these gem coupons stack with the regular ones?

>>106511378
No, you used to stay the fuck away from those.
Collecting gems was only worthwhile because you could exchange them to shopping credits, which do stack and don't have a minimum order amount.
Now with how hard shopping credits are to get, I suppose they might be worth it outside of a generic sale.

>>106511295
I wish they nerfed the ways to farm the gems instead of punishing people who were saving them.
Do you know at what time the credits reset?

>>106511150
>16GB DDR4 3200MHz
>full memtest, no issues
Good stuff.

>how check authenticity
Ram is a commodity.
As long as it matches its details, 16GB 3200MHz, that's usually all most people care about.

If you're only after the genuine article and want to check,
there's nothing for it but to google everything.
- find pictures, and see if the placement of the chips, resistors, whatever are the exact distances apart. (There are apparently several standard pcb layouts.)
- see if they're supposed to have chips from a particular manufacturer and if so then the part numbers of those chips. (Lots of manufacturers just use whoever is cheapest at producing the chips at the given spec.)

>>106511389
i entered the gem game too late lol, aw shit

>>106511419
I mean you might still get a dollar discount here and there, but yeah, overall not worth it, and you already know they'll be gone the second a sale is on.
They turned from pretty OP to similar to coins - you can passively collect them, but only do the activities that give a lot, don't try to minmax it and do all dailies.

>>106510224
It's not 2013 anymore. Let it go.

It's not the kommandostore hat, but it's very cheap (1.70€ with coins), so I'm tempted (as opposed to the kommandostore one being 30€+7€ shipping)

Would you get white to maximize contrast with the embroidery, or a color so it doesn't get as dirty as quickly?

>>106511485
white not only tracks greys and black dirt easily, but they also yellow as time goes on. i see white as a fashion color compared to dark greys, blues and blacks which are all durability

>>106511158
Isn't that pretty much normal price?

ideas for funny hats and t-shirts? especially to wear in countries which don't understand eng?

>>106511398
I think the daily platform wide reset is midnight pacific time. Not sure though.

>>106511745
How on the nose do you want them?
I already posted that fishing hat, there's also the classic "please be patient I have autism", but that already can go wrong depending on social circumstance.

>>106511526
Not with my coins discounts & spend and save anon!
I paid $49 total for two sticks and also got like $5 back in shopping credits. Which I don't have anything to spend on anyway but might end up just buying something for the sake of it before it expires. Can't complain at that price.


>>106511403
Ah right thank you.
I thought maybe RAM could be like storage where they could spoof it to show certain results on tests but the reality is completely different. Or like it could be a defective stick that performs OK in limited tests but capitulates in other things. That's why I thought maybe I need to verify it. I guess I don't care enough to do all that. Memtest showed me all the serial numbers and everything, I could contact Kingston I guess.
I'm going to have to send my laptop for repair soon anyway so will have to take the sticks back out for a bit, just thought I'd test them while I could. Most SODIMM DDR4 is CL22, this one was CL20 which is why I went for it, that and the price of course.

I bought a bundle of simple camera wrist straps for my phone (case). It makes holding the phone more cumbersome but at least if I was ever somewhere taking pictures, I'm slightly less worried about dropping my phone and losing everything on it.

>>106511964

At 20cm tall, it's a majestic hat. Sadly no good clones though on ali, because of the weird shape (which is part of the meme).
Same store also has some nice unregistered hypercam 2 merch.
Sadly on ali it's all more normie adjacent, so you can find beanies with vaporwave stuff, but even the I have autism hat is edgy for aliexpress items and I think mostly a thing because of vtubers wearing it and thus making it more known.

Welcome to what euros had to put up with until chinks started including VAT in the price

>>106511150
If memtest checks out it's probably fine

>>106513829
That wasn't a eurowide issue, I've been buying long before the vat changes and never had issues like that. Probably country specific.

>>106513845
For me it was like a 50/50 chance whether or not customs would contact me with an extra fee or not

>>106513897
Probably depended on countries. In many years I was called to customs once, where they didn't believe the price on my headphones.
I brought a receipt showing it's what I actually paid and the price was correct, the officer said "damn, that's a good price, enjoy" and I got to go home.

they're intentionally trying to make it so you can only ever redeem a small amount at a time, which means you have to meet the 10€/10$ shipping threshold, and then it's like a 1€ discount on a 10€ order, which isn't nearly as impressive.
Interestingly 3D printing filament seems to be the one exception, as there's a few listings over 10€ (like 10.40€) which means free shipping (most are 9.99€ for that exact reason). Stacking coins plus shopping credit and maybe a coupon code from late delivery results in >>106507733 , which is a steal for 1kg PLA, even if it's low-tier PLA. Plus PLA filament is a consumable, so it's something you'd do more than once.

Blades aren't perfectly aligned but they seem like they'll cut well

>Soldering iron tips, ANENG voltage detecter

>HUK Tools comb pick set
Oddly this got deleted from aliexpress, even from my orders. They're nice and rigid but may be too thick to fit in some locks.

they're big and bulky and they don't actually hold that much power.
You need only brief bursts of high amperage 12V to jumpstart a car, nobody expects to get more than 4 or 5 jumps from a charge.

>>106519441
on the bright side, maybe the car jumpstarter he bought can do fast charging due to high CCA capabilities ?

>>106519459
mine does support USB-PD speeds, I'm pretty sure it only has like 40-50Wh of capacity tho.

well I already bought it, worse comes to worst it's just some dumb low-rated chink powerbank I guess. but I bought it to jumpstart a utility truck that's just parked for weeks (it's not mine and I can't drive), I already have a trickle charger but sometimes it needs to be up and running in short notice.

>>106508832
the wacom schizo over at /dtg/ has referenced /csg/ multiple times in the middle of his tirades about his hatred of china and their products
heck, we were even mentioned in the OP multiple times in the past
truly we are the low quality production line of the mentally ill

Got a couple of batteries today. 18.5Wh power bank, that should be enough to fully charge my phone. It's small and has a built-in USB, so no additional cables needed. Going to chuck it in my bag to have a backup of I don't stay on top of charging. Supports PD up to 20W out, 18W in, which is nice. Will test the actual capacity at some point -- USB tester should be arriving soon, and I already have a load.
Three DSi XL batteries. Bought a pair of broken DSi XLs at some point, fixed them, but I only have one battery and it's shit anyway. Now I can finally finish them. Maybe they're not the OEM quality, but these days you can't get anything else anyway.

>>106519910
to be fair, no chinese tablet is truly good for what they are. I have owned the G640 and jesus it sucks, even compared to older budget models from wacom. Then again, there are good chink products if you search around, at least when it comes to other areas (audio,phones,random shit etc.)

>>106519987
I can barely draw a straight cube, but I've heard Huion tablets being praised. They aren't good either?

oh is that what people do here? i would never mention this gen in other threads because people into chinkshit usually get into it for economic reasons and the majority of people don't mind paying a premium for good quality

>>106502851
They actually shipped! Now I can sleep well again.

>>106520097
>package destroyed by customs

>>106520022
I tried XP Pen, Huion etc.

Huion is usable, but wacom gives you more precision, I'd take a budget Wacom any day over huion. Only way you can make me want a Huion is if you put it side by side with a CTL-490DW inspired tablet by wacom, and even then, it depends on the Huion model.

I purchased a Radtel RT-880 a while back and it got held back at customs. It is currently being inspected by OFCOM. Apparently there is a good chance they will confiscate the item and then fine me.

>>106519659
Bought shower set a couple years ago. Not bad, not the best. But for its money I think it's ok.

Should I order some more watch straps? I really dig those hippy looking ones, they are contrasting well with a TACTICAL look of my watch.

if I'm at 80%, how many more months will it take to get my 10c towel?

>>106521640
It's not linear progress.
92% completion got me to 20% off buy now.
95% completion got to 50% off.
You can extrapolate that how you want. I really don't know how it works but that's how I noted my current progress.

>>106521640
its around 5k x100 for first medium tree and then is scales for every following tree

Only if your hand and wrist sizes don't differ too much.
>buy that exact type of elastic watch strap
>adjust to comfortable size for my wrist
>forget i have giant gorilla hands to go with my dainty little wrists
>scrape my hands raw every time i put the watch on
I gave up and bought another strap.

>>106522037
I have one of those elastic straps already, it fits fine. Just wondering if I should get more. I like the strap itself, but the quick release mechanism fits like ass with my Instinct.

>>106522060
They're just standard quick-release strap pins, you should be able to replace them with regular pins if you have any lying around.

But I'm curious, how do they fit poorly? I thought the only difference is in the little release handle.

>>106522117
The part that connects the watch body and the strap should move freely around the pin, but it doesn't because the body of the watch interferes with it. Hard to explain without showing in person.
One of my friends has the same strap with a bigger Garmin watch and it moves freely. So it's just an issue with Instinct it seems.

>>106522148
I get it, the thing doesn't extend out far enough to move freely around your Instinct's lugs.

>>106522183
Exactly. It's ok anyway, I've been wearing it like that for a couple of months, but it would be great to have a fully functional strap.

I found a few more where the first image of the radio had a normal microammteter, but the later images again had a moisture meter.

how do you avoid the "buy cheap, buy twice" thing?
most of the stuff in aliexpress seems like a gamble. Most of the guitar strings sold there, besides for chinese brands like Alice or Orphee, are fakes for example

>>106522885
You don't buy fakes, but rather stick to those known Chinese brands. Don't buy a 680W GaN charger for $21 from Jikoolayuiop, but rather a Baseus or Ugreen. Or you wait until another anon buys something and confirms it's good.

>>106522923
oh yeah my cheapskate brother bought tons of "ultra cheap" flash drives and was amazed to have me show that they were all fakes with barely any real storage capacity

>>106521057
Heh, nothin personnel

always thought guitar strings were expendable. on my acoustic i snap the small-e a lot
just buy the real thing if you want them to be good?

>>106523062
>always thought guitar strings were expendable
they are, but if you buy coated strings they will last longer for sure

honestly alice strings are on par with most mainstream western string brands, i wouldnt diss them, they're more durable than ernie ball trash or rotosounds

orphees are just bottom tier but you get what you pay for

>>106521611
>Arse stoppers that are electric and can be coded.
Jesus fucking Christ we really are in the end stages. Holy fuck lol

>>106522885
word of mouth as other anons have already done.
every type of product has a meta surrounding the chinese tier wares. you have to get informed on what people have actually used and found acceptable.
in this time of internet enshittification it's become increasingly more difficult to find actual human beings to exchange information. especially to avoid the affiliate marketing assholes. basically every influencer youtuber whatever are unscrupulous shills.

I bought this for my Garmin (Forerunner 235) and it works well. However, unlike the factory silicone/rubber Garmin strap, this one will gradually pick up body odour if you use it for sports.

>how do you avoid the "buy cheap, buy twice" thing?
chinkshitting is a skill, just like any other thing that you can learn. The tricks of the trade are many, but the biggest takeaway that I think too few people understand is that the chinese are the ultimate libertarians.
They will sell you what you ask for.
That means if you look for the absolute lowest priced item of a category, and filter by price, they'll give you exactly what you asked for: An item that was engineered to perfect to be cheap to manufacture. You can go on temu and find a tent for 20€. It will suck ass in any way you can think of: Too heavy, no breathability, cheap stakes, hard to assemble, but by god, it'll be cheap. If you just need something to have over your head for that one festival that's not during peak summer and you'll likely not use it ever again so it won't matter if a drunk guy falls on it and it breaks, that's a great deal. If you want a hiking tent - it's not.
If you go and instead of asking for the cheapest possible tent, you ask for a upper mid market tent with premium features for a fair price, you can find that too. Naturehike makes those for example. You'll get premium features, at mid market prices. But if you don't know what to care for in a tent, you might miss it.

A lot of the "chinese stuff is low quality" view (prejudice) in my opinion, comes from westerners going for the absolute cheapest they can find an item and then being surprised if it's shit.
In the west, you can often buy the cheapest of an item, because there's a high chance it's "good enough" - it'd be socially unacceptable to sell something that barely fits the criteria. In china, the safety inhibitors are off so to speak, you're expected to be an adult and to know what you're asking for.

TL;DR: Don't go for the absolute cheapest shit and you'll get great quality.

>>106524039
Contact support you absolute dingus.

>>106524122
Support was useless.

>>106524165
Then I suppose you're missing out on trials from now on.
Which is to say you're missing out on nothing, because trials suck ass. It's like 1-2 items somewhat worth having with 5 billion applicants and 18 items that are worse than trash.

>>106524177
I want free shit.
PSA for future users I guess. Switch your currency to USD before redeeming. So you don't get fucked by exchange rates turning $0.01 USD to $0.00.

>>106523552
I don't have a forerunner tho, I have an instinct, so it's not very useful to me.
>body odour
Oh yeah, I wash mine regularly. Shit's nasty.

>>106524105
dont sweat it, aliexpress has been steadily going to shit for the last 2 or 3 years. there are alternatives, sure they dont offer the same things or the same discount deals, but sometimes you can find real gems on other websites, like banggood, its is still around and kicking

>>106524391
the chinks are not any cheaper unless you waste time on their stupid games. can any of the chink stores beat pic related?

>>106524105
That's a lot of words which yet again doesn't provide the one thing people have needed forever: Search terms that actually brings back items of a higher standard. And don't say "premium" or "luxury" because that shit has been applied to the worst imaginable items.
I'm sick of having to crawl up a company's ass to find its entire history. I just want to type in "not fucking trash" and have it work.

>>106524391
I'm perfectly happy with aliexpress anon. It's gotten better than it was years ago in my opinion, we used to wait months for stuff to ship.

>>106524503
>Search terms that actually brings back items of a higher standard
There is no universal one, or immediately any cheaper seller would use them too.
>I'm sick of having to crawl up a company's ass to find its entire history. I just want to type in "not fucking trash" and have it work.
I'll be honest anon, chinkshitting might not be for you. If you aren't willing to learn the process, you will continue to make the same mistakes. Maybe for you the solution is buying western then, where the average variability of quality is much lower within item categories. That means you don't have to think, though obviously you're paying a premium for the privilege.
This isn't a value judgement by the way - I just think if you aren't willing to deal with all that, local might be better for you.

>6 bits
>more than enough to open anything with screws

>>106525051
It can pack 9 bits actually, and you can swap in other ones too since they seem to be of a standard size. My cousin has one of those and I used it once while helping him assemble ikea furniture and fell in love with it. But it's a lidl brand (parkside) and they only keep stock of tools for a while before they switch them out. I followed their catalog every week for like a year before I gave up and they never had it in stock again. I think you can get it on amazon but it's like double the price (still not expensive, but I'm a cheapskate)

>>106525035
Woah that's cool

>>106525021
Sure anon, the link is
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007694303419.html
The normal listing is 3.95€ but in bundles it's 2.99€. With the 2€ discount for 6 items that comes out to the 2.81€ I posted in that review.
So probably worth checking the listing as a bundle or coin discount. But even at 4€ they'd be worth it imo.

Someone showed off this guy before, I finally got him, but he's a little wobbly, I think it's my fault though, was applying a bit too much force.
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007282460856.html
And also a mini thermo printer, it prints. I should've also ordered a roll of paper that can be used as stickers. Later then. Fun distraction, good for notes and silly anime pictures, I reckon.

>>106525419
Yeah most of these cheap thermal printers have that setting.
I got myself a thermal printer instant camera, it's quite fun actually.
Some stuff it really can't handle well, but higher contrast images it does really nicely with. I've found architecture in that style to be very fun.

Picrel, some pictures I took with mine and kept. Probably not the same with just a printer that's not also a camera, but the general idea of higher contrast pictures should apply still.

What are some (somewhat exotic) smart wearables that are NOT shit? I don't mind a subscription but it has to be worth it.

Feel free to suggest wearables in the following categories but from what I've seen, in each category the most popular brand has a scammy business model :

>Smart wristbands

>Whoop 5.0
You pay $400 once for the device (which is probably just as good as any other wristband of the same price range) and then it's $30 per month to use their "algorithms" to get insights into your health metrics.
You're basically paying a company to exploit your health data.


>Smart rings

>Oura 4.0
Has shit battery life compared to competition, ring in itself is nothing really special and is also subscription based.
Also they recently partnered up with Palantir.

>RingConn
Better battery life and no subscription and seems to be on par with Oura 4 but it's chinese and they're being sued for copyright infringement by Oura.


>Smart glasses

Most of the glasses I have found have these basic features :
>Video recording
>AI integration with voice commands
>Hands free phone calls
>Music

The ones that have actually interesting features such as screen projection need a mobile phone to work (you connect the glasses to your phone and use it as a controller) or a computer.

The only ones I could find that are available on the market and seem to have integrated UI are "Rokid" and it's very basic UI so nothing like pic related.

tl;dr Smart glasses, for now, are mostly a gimmick from what I've seen.


> Smart watches

Haven't looked into it yet.

I received my Zaopin Z2 Mini mouse today
I already had a Zaopin Z1 Pro and wanted to see if a larger mouse (but still small-ish medium in absolute terms of mice) would feel nicer in my manlet-sized hands
The Z2 Mini does not feel nicer in my hand for the 3-finger claw grip that I use and is in fact a little too big
Would've been nice if I did find it comfortable because the hotswappable microswitches on the Z2 Mini would've been nice to have in my daily driver mouse

Kind of expensive just to try out a mouse shape but whatever, I'll hand it down to one of my cousins

>>106529224

To the fat hiking panties anon: they ARE pretty comfy. Nice material. Well, maybe it's not nice and will give me turbo-cancer and my balls fall off, but it feels very nice. But you have to be very clean shaved to wear them, I feel like my bikini stubble tears the cloth apart.

Cheap USB what? Cables? Hard to fuck up if you only need 2A@5V charging. PD cables, data cables, USB drives -- you have to exercise caution.

>>106530900
just a regular 3.0 storage usb, wondering if anyone tried one here

>>106530907
Duh, that's the first step into the chinkshit -- buying a cable. Get one from Orico, Ugreen or Baseus if you want to be sure. Hagibis, Toocki or Essager if you're feeling a bit adventurous.
And while you're at it, grab one of them USB cable testers, you'll be glad you did: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Ex6ykfs

>>106530900
Not him, but what about ugreen 240 W cables, pure chinesium or is it worth the trouble.

>>106531035
99% they will be fine. As usual you have a chance of a mfg defect, but Ali is pretty good with refunds when it comes to that. Every Ugreen cable I've used is still fine.
Are there devices that can use 240W already? And chargers that can supply such wattage? I think the most I've seen is 140W.

>>106530982
storage usb, I need to take files off without moving to another device in order to do it later. a handheld small usb device

>>106531078
Ah, right. I have this one. Pretty fast.
I https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwsLPtu
also tried to order this one, but it never arrived for some reason. I've seen a couple anons with it before, they said it was alright.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvxES7u

>>106531075
I mean, you are right but ugreen does not sell 140 W chinesium, next tier above 100 is 240, so I thought I might as well get that instead. Is the cable tester really necessary , as in, are the chinks really that likely to scam me (even ugreen), or is it fine for the most part ?

>>106531206
It's mostly fine. Tester is not necessary, but it helped me with some issues -- cables not having proper lines, or data transfer at all when I expected them to.
