Thread 107031278

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.

Best way to get new aliexpress accounts for discounts? my gmail gets blocked

So after being spied on ( >>107030074 ) I actually went ahead and bought a bunch of the stuff that I wanted.

The case is for starlink which I will give to my brother for christmas (he is using the cardboard box it shipped in). The little black circuit board is the USB cable tester which went viral recently and the green pots are for catching snails, the connectors are taps (punctures the existing wire and you can plug into that).

Only thing not here yet is 10 metres of fibreglass rods for pushing a cable underneath my house.

Is it any good?

>>107032717
yes, if there are local items you want to buy

>>107032717
yeah it's fine, haven't had any issues, like a shirt I ordered and wore all summer

>>107031053
It's for shielded cables
https://superuser.com/questions/341527/why-g-does-not-light-up-in-network-cable-tester

>>107032717
i was instantly refunded for a broken shaver head. i kept the shaver body and bought OEM attachments from ali so pretty good customer service all things considered

>>107032717
i find it has a better range of chastity cages and sissy outfits than ebay or amazon

>>107033413
oh yeah, gag/novelty/rude items are so much easier to find on temu

>>107033556
yeah it was for a gag haha

one of my orders got duplicated, I assume it was because a confirmation screen tripped on my bank app even though I'm using a digital card and not my physical one. question is, can I safely ignore the duped order? the first copy of the order is already paid and shipped, but it would suck ass if it got recalled because of some weird glitch on ali's end

i see.
if you can't find an item in the coins section (because the shop didn't put it up for discount) then you should search for it in the gem section to at least get some gems back. a 5.95 item gives me 6300 gems back with a 1% base coin discount which is cheaper than buying it straight from choice which is the same price at 5.95 2$ coin discount

>>107033755
2% not 2$

Any current meta on 10440 powered keychain torches?
Getting a Snowsky Retro Nano with a few spare batteries to swap around and I figured I could use them for a little flashlight for fun or something

>>107033755
But you can't really redeem gems so what good is it to hoard them?
I have a shitton of gems, and any decent store credit has been sold out for months now with bots and thirdies buying them within a second of resets.
An asset you can't liquidate isn't worth anything in the end.

>>107032717
Overpriced ali made more for influencers that have friends they can send referrals to get actual discounts.

is this true?

>>107033868
i live in aus so reset time is 5/6pm for me. i can usually get both the $1 and $5, both on the same day even
maybe if you live in the eu you have to compete against other eu users

>>107034134
Yes, http://www.vkvan.com

>>107034193
>>107034134
seems like a totally legit thing which won't get abused

>>107031278 (OP)
THE TUMMY POST NEEDS TO BE THE BIGGEST PIC HOLY
>>107034134
probably. i've only ever gotten shadowbanned in ali which their support fixed, but merchants themselves, which are usually just a couple dudes running multiple fronts, most likely have a list.

is the 11.11 sale for the whole month or just that one day?

>>107034309
i've seen some items start dropping on the 8th. that's when i bought my tablet a few years ago and the price then was cheaper than throughout the 11.11 period.
anyway, 11.11 is when things start getting cheap and prices will stay around that price for 2 weeks until BF week which will last until the end of the month. i bought an action cam for $56 on 11/20 without waiting for BF for instance

>>107025015
>Or you could try purging your ear of earwax
already did that with my doctor
it was practically empty
my hearing is fucked in my right ear and i think it has to do with the band i was in where the drummerr was to my right when we played
fucker even whined whenever i used earplugs and now im pretty certain hes the reason im half deaf

>>107034401
unlucky
as i get older i'm humbled by the fact that sometimes parts of your body are changed forever and they can''t be fixed with a simple night's sleep

i asked about batteries/chargers a few threads ago
got the liitokala lii-s1
insane deal for 5€, has a display to show the voltage, can insert batteries any way you want and the build quality seems decent for how little it costs

>>107034543
they are so legit
the 2nd most popular brand - daweikala is all fake shit and dangerous design

>>107034531
yeah that sucks
a few months ago a lamp fell on my face while i was reading because i had a shabby stand set up and it permanently broke one of my front tooth and i will never get that back, i only have a fake now

>>107031278 (OP)
Thinking about a benchtop power supply. Anyone know a good brand or have a horror story to share?

>>107034543
One thing to watch out for is that some of their chargers are limited to 500mA on NiMH. Even if they can do lithium at 2A. Not an issue for the one you got though.

>>107034134
Can't check, it's just an image without a link

>>107008918
pls post some of the types of lights you bought

>>107034652
A couple of years ago I went through buying two chinkshit ones and returned both, one would not hold voltage steady and the other popped a fuse within a week.

I got an old LG GP-4303 unit from Ebay for $150 or so and no problems, rock solid.

how hard is it to do basic electrician stuff such as adding an extra light to the ceiling? i know a real electrician would charge a shitton for a simple job like that

>>107035643
watch a guide, it'll cost you a bunch of random tools, working on the fuse box in your house is not easy, because you'll want to either draw the power straight from that, or splice the wiring of another light.

Watch a guide on how to do it, and decide if you're qualified or capable yourself. Wrong place to ask anon. AI would be a much better advisor lmao.

I swapped some Huano brown/whites into my double clicking Logitech and now I wish I'd gotten something for the wheel button to fully enjoy the soft thunk.

If you have an ikea around, also consider these; I didn't get any of them because I didn't need to but I liked them:
- VARMBLIXT (60€ accessory lamp)
- STORSEGEL (10€, great for a bedside table or a shelf)
- LAUTERS (60€, might still get one of these, great for next to a reading chair, sofa or similar)

>no ongoing sale
should I wait?

>>107035825
there is no way that will get through customs

>>107035825
It's shipped from the EU, so no more customs involved

>>107035922
Yes, 11.11 is likely going to start around the 1st.

>>106996718
I'm serious I'm down to send anons like this aliexpress clothing just so they can post more of their fit (but show more).

>>107034652
Years ago I went the DIY-ish route like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxR-_ZnREQQ (I miss that Swiss accent so much ;( )
Setup is a bit clunky as I never polished that project: I would need to create some wooden box to make the stuff more rigid, compact and portable (and safer!), it lacks a switch (and maybe a fuse?) on the mains side and I wanted to implement his temperature-controlled fan mod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z-1A6oDFXI There's also custom firmware.
Still usable. 1 euro coin for scale.
There was also this more polished supply at the time also, a bit more expensive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qjLx_HsKUQ
Otherwise there's the form factor like in your picrel, but I don't remember what was the reputable/tested brand at the time. Hopefully you can find thorough tests like these on YouTube.

>>107035643

How are the chink shit Switch 2 accessories coming along? I'm thinking about buying just the tablet off eBay or something and just using chinkshit instead of giving my money to Nintendo

>>107034652
I have a basic one from Wanptek I bough off ali years ago for 30$. I don't use it often but when I do it always works and does the job.

I bought a pair of Switch 1 joycons a few months ago, like just a month before the launch of the Switch 2, and they STILL couldn't get everything right.

are there any good cheap chinkshit usb-c portable monitors?

Anyone tried out the dirt cheap dremel bits on ali?

does 11.11 happens on alibaba? i will probably need to buy some stuff as a freelancer next month

>>107040808
They're about as good as you expect, ok for very light use but useless for anything else.

>Found a nice coins offer, add item to cart

Chaaaaaaang!!!

(It was a Merkur Progress clone for 2€ after the discount.)

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007635815721.html

Ordered some 24W E27 bulbs, my Ikea fixture claimed max 13W in the socket, by since it is not enclosed as such, It will probably be fine.

The outer shell or whatever appears to be plastic, hopefully it wont degrade because of the increased heat.

today i will earn some coins

>>107036293
lol.
Somewhere deep on my thinkpad, I’ve got a pic of some neat AliExpress briefs, I’ll post them when I get home next week so you’ll shut up.
>>107039708
The magic of /csg/!
>>107040808
I’ve got a bunch of cheapo oscillating Multitool blades (brand’s newone I think) which are surprisingly decent for stuff where I don’t need precision, so I’d imagine you can also get decent dremel bits. But you certainly can also get crap that’s just not gonna work or send shards flying in your face, guess you gotta order some and post a review. I’m still looking for Teflon free router bits but if I find some I shall post an update.

Affordable reasonably accurate scale for spices?

Coins are not worth it

>>107042450
Are we talking "spices" or are we talking """spices""""?
If it's the former, look up "jeweler's scales" they'll be reasonably accurate for cooking.
If it's the latter, get something that comes with a certificate of calibration or you will get your dick chopped off for having an inaccurate scale.

>>107043212
what do you mean by """spices"""? Are you talking about """spices"""or """""spices"""""?

>>107043212
The first one thanks.

Has anyone here tried some heated gloves from Ali?
My right hand gets extremely cold during the winter, this could be a lifesaver.

>uses the temu app.
For why. I just don't understand why people install an app when a browser would work just fine.

>>107040851
When should I buy, 11.11 or Black Friday?

>>107044256
do you live in a country with an external cashback site (ie. rakuten, topcashback, swagbucks, quidco, etc)? if you do then BF prices and cb combo will be much better than 11.11

>>107044421
very cool

t. French, how so you even use the site with its shitty automatic translations?

>>107034134
it doesnt happen on ebay, i've got an OLD account, and i've disputed a bunch of shit over the years, i even called out a seller for selling a real product that works as advertised, but for using a trademark they legally aren't allowed to use in the title. They apologised and agreed to change the naming of the product.

I got another seller to delist an item because it wasn't fit for purpose (headphone replacements that don't fit the headphone model) and got a refund and an apology. No problems at all. I even recently was allowed to back out of a bid i realised i didn't want (old school mining lamp that requires materials that are illegal for a pleb civvie to buy in our Karen-nanny-state nation in 2025) without having to buy it.

Ebays great for me over the years, but it is more expensive than Ali.

>>107034652
I like the Riden RD series, the same ones as in >>107036327's third video. (The specific one I have is an RD6018, and I've had it for almost 5 years now.)

Unlike traditional lab power supplies, they only do the DC-DC part, so you need to feed it with DC power at least ~1V higher than the output you want. But, that also means you can pair it with just about any sort of DC source you have available, such as a laptop charger, power tool battery, drone battery, surplus PoE switch power supply, or a USB PD charger and trigger board.

Any good/decent portable printer?
I was checking zink printers like xiaomi portable phot printer and also another with different technology, from Yoton a brand, which isn't as portable or cheap, but the quality is better and the "ink" is cheaper.

Any other recommendations? It's just for a gift, so I want to know if I can find something cheaper /cheaper consumables.

>>107044553
alright where's the horse version?

>>107044421
>le foreskin lamp

>>107010324
I have the second one but not that brand my friend gave me it worked alright we had to look up how to pair them every time we rode. It says multi rider but thats not fully accurate you cant talk to multiple people at the same time you can only talk to one other person and have the use the buttons to talk to someone else you are paired to. We never actually were able to get it paired to more than us though the pairing process was pretty convoluted.

I was looking at one of the Lexin models before I broke down and bought the sena that integrated with my shoei helmet

>>107043924
my browser doesn't do any popups, coupons etc on both PC and phone

i got $150 in credit for that purchase, i double checked and the prices for the items were identical in the PC and app cart, so for the price of them knowing what faceberg and jewgle already know about me I get $150 of more cheap chinese shit

isn't that what this is all about in the end?

Good morning fellow dumpster divers and bargain hunters. So I found these on Ali, used them for a month before they died. My main issue with them is that I would need to hide the batteries under my shirt, which reduced their lifespan due to sweat and dirt, so I'm here to ask if anyone knows where I could get some fake -wireless- earplugs so I listen to music while I work. I've looked around but maybe I'm not using the right keywords, they don't even have to look like these, I just need something that looks convincing

Speaking of chastity cages. Have you been able to find one that fits you? I don't have a super thick cock but the ones on Aliexpress marked XXL are too small for me.

managed to grab this for 140$
thats less than 1/4 of the the original lego set price

>>107054786
you can try telling customer support that you used a 2nd device to go on the ali app and everything turned into 1 gem, might work

>>107031278 (OP)
i had this idea few days ago anons, listen up
a singing cage, a box that you put on your head to practice singing or a pod that you lock yourself in to do so
i don't need it and i don't browse chink shit often so i trought that i'd ask if you encountered such product
i forgot what gave me this idea tho kek

>>107056974
Yeah, those look like reverse versions of the ones I have. I like the ceramic for soldering because you can hold stuff in place with them. It might be nice to have more precise metal ones with the reverse action though.

>>107057051
>or a pod that you lock yourself in to do so
Those exist as "privacy booths" for offices (basically just a booth with good sound deadening).
I haven't seen a version for on your head, the closest I can think of are those self-made sound boxes with foam inside for better vocal pickup, but I am skeptical as to how well those isolate (their main point is to increase audio quality after all)

>>107057051

Are hot water bottles for your stomach when sick a new thing where you live?
As long as I can remember every household has one of these here.
Usually comes with a plushy that acts as a sleeve (or a normal sleeve for adults) so you don't burn yourself.
Mine was a bee that I hugged when I got sick. Very nice to fall asleep with.

>The guys doing my house fucked the electrical and now I have switches that go nowhere.
Are you sure they're not three-way switches, or for switched outlets?

>>107060066
I checked, doesn't seem to be the case.
Maybe one of them was originally for a switched outlet (there is one right below one of them). But that outlet just straight doesn't work now.
All the wires are routed in the ceiling and concrete walls, this shit is nigh impossible to fix.

>>107056974
I got some of those for plastic model usage but I'm unhappy with how fat and rounded the tips are. they couldn't get a good grip on small parts
i found these hemostatic forceps pretty useful for holding small stuff though. they don't have a spring but they lock shut.

>hope i wont get fucked with missing pieces like i was with 747+spaceshutle
Not to be a dick anon but with 5000+ pieces you'll probably have missing ones. That's just the nature of the game with Ali. I've ordered 1000+ and 3000+ sets, both had pieces missing.
Bonus points if the pieces are unsorted, because then they ask you to count all the pieces and tell them the missing ones so they can send you a one time shipment.
But who has time to count 5000+ pieces out? Nobody anon. Nobody.
Usually there's not that many missing but enough to where it can halt the built a few times. That's the price you pay.

>>107052619
To be fair there is a difference in quality. Not enough for me to justify the exorbitant Lego prices but still noticeble

Any recommendations on soldering paste for hotplate?
I bought one of those cute hotplates for 6 yuroshekels but I just realized I need paste for this.

>>107060837
Kaktiqlz brand has been good to me. not sure if they ship to all countries though

>>107060568
lego's high starter price acts as a barrier to entry which keeps poor people out. it is set up where you need a bucket of various pieces in order to make things and you'll eventually need more and more pieces and sets as your kids' proficiency increases.
buying lego once means that you have to continuing buying them, so you're paying for it despite knowing that they go for premium price.
poor people do not have the capacity to do this.

>multiple people """disagreeing"""
point out fucking where. i don't shy away from arguments - i'm just irritated by people picking fights for no reason and then resort to ad homs and straight up making shit up because they suck. you're total viberuiners derailing the thread and i see you less than human.

>>107060837
If you don't want to end up like the picture you posted, and it's actually one of those cheap as fuck plates, plug it in in a place with good ventilation and heat it up once, it'll release a lot of gases/smoke.

Any recs for those electric blower things? How can I tell if its a piece of shit or not?

>>107061375
these are toys but it also depends on why you need these. totally fine for puff-puffing some dust out of fan blades, your pc case or small filters

>>107061427
they took mitu off the platform a year ago

>>107061529
It isn't even a ali thing its a xiaomi thing

>>107061568
yes but they used to be able to buy them off ali, and that's how all the secondary e-commerce stores get them if they aren't buying directly from the source

>>107061375
Same way you do with other shit from ali, get the one with the most units sold and with actual reviews.
They're pretty much all the same shit tho, unless you find something that's like 1/3 of the price, then it's most likely fake.

can anyone link a good cheap OBD II thing?
I know from cursory research there's tons of these with a minefield of garbage ones.
My boomer dad keeps telling me to disconnect the battery in his car whenever the check engine light comes on. It clears the error until the system does a scan again then it comes back. I want to see if I can read the error code before whatever the problem is completely implodes.

>>107063948
which car?
and it sound like a non-permanent code, set after some monitors finish running, like for the catalyst or something. it would be better to remove the check engine light bulb from the the dashboard than unpluging the battery to reset the system after a couple of rides or milles, if you dont want to fix it

the level 5 lootbox reward is $5 off 10 in play and earn (so you'll get gem rebates along with the discount)

>>107057787
get a roku locally

>>107064165
How can yo reach that, you need already 100 keys to reach level 4

>>107064242
do the daily to-do list and then on the search tasks you can look at random items for 10 extra keys per day

>>107057787
Does it have to be a stick?
If not, get an Onn 4k if you can find one or a Xiaomi Mi Box 4k on Ali if you can't.
Don't fucking get a Roku, only had bad experiences with those.

>>107060990
Kek.
>keeping poors out
Yeah, no. They’ll just get into debt (which. Among other factors is why they’re poor) if they really want to have the Death-Disk. And you’re not gonna impress anyone with your LEGO collection, besides certain redditors. Anyone else will just deem it rather weird that an adult still plays with legos and they’re just gonna assume it costs like 50 bucks at max, like the prices they remember from their childhood Lego.
If you like it, fine, why not? I gotta admit some of their city stuff easily beats their competitors when it comes to playability for actual kids.
But their licensing stuff? I guess if you have some real connection to it (dunno, you need that Star Wars ship, because you had your first sex while watching it) sure, go for it!
(Totally unrelated question: is there any Final Destination Lego sets? Like, the highway scene?)
But other than that, you’re just a man child over paying for mid quality plastics.
And to switch back to /csg/:
Man Chang probably has got me again! Those tend to go for like 1.5 a pair, so that’s a really great price which I doubt will go lower on 1111, so I really should order them now, but then shipping’s gonna fuck that price advantage, so I need some crap to fill my 10€.
…about that final destination LEGO set…?

>>107064487
>going into debt for...lego...?
>inane rambling
uh, ok. no response needed.

Looking to get a solar panel.

Doesn't need to be huge, I only need to to power/charge ring battery cameras
Just needs to be better/cheaper than what the Ring store is gouging me on, I would like to get a bigger one and be able to recharge two nearby cameras with one panels instead of 1 panel per cameras.


also need a way to test how much juice is created by the solar panel as well.

just a word of advice: if you're the sort of person to write someone else off with a buzzphrase like
>you thought you were so smart when you typed that, didn't you?
then please be absolutely sure you are not going to follow it up with illogical stream of consciousness bullshit like that. have some humility and self-awareness.
you're impressing nobody with that and you lose all credibility on the follow up.

>What’s the purpose of fake nipple rings
not having to get real nipple rings. Duh.
I like nipple piercings, but the gf doesn’t want to get some, so this is a compromise.
Apparently, for some girls, the “pinching” is pleasant and it makes the nipples more sensitive. Unfortunately, not for mine.

>>107065818
If it's a dress watch and you're fine with quartz, I'd just suggest you look yourself.
At that stage the only two things that matter are the thickness of the watch (so it qualifies as a dress watch) and the aesthetics.
The latter you should pick out yourself anyways to make sure you enjoy it.
Most cheaper mechanical or automatic movements you can get will be too thick for a dress watch anyways.

Mine somehow bulked up to 2gb in size. WTF? Used to be that you could delete cache and shit, but seems like that got updated away.

So... I am back with the eternal robot vacuum question.

I already have a robot vacuum (A used tesvor S6 I got off our local equivalent of craigslist). It's been a massive quality of life improvement for me, but it has 3 issues that I'm looking to address:
- Suction is sub-par. I'll have to run it twice to get most of the dirt (low priority, would be nice to have but not essential)
- The app is absolute unadulterated pure dogshit. It works, but a better one would be nice.
- The primary thing I want is a good mopping function. By that I mean none of those passive mops where you just stick a piece of fabric to the backside of the robot with a container that keeps it moist. I mean a proper mopping function that keeps my kitchen and bathroom clean. The more expensive machines seem to have internal water containers (that they can refill), motorized rotating mop brushes, the ability to clean themselves in the base station, purge dirty water into one container for easy removal and to heat the water so it's warm.

Any anon had experiences with one of these? Prices are way up there, but given how much the first has changed my life for the better I'd be willing to pay that if it's genuinely something that works well and lasts a long time.

wiimotes on aliexpress are all shit right? There's no secret super amazing ones?
I wanna play some lightgun games but ones that work with modern screens are all super expensive (£75-100), so I figured a wiimote would be a good alternative.

>>107071875
Wiimotes are shit for light gun games to begin with. Might as well just use a mouse if you can't spring for 4 point tracking.
