Thread 107172708

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.

fucking customs, man, they're like my asshole, always holding up shit

Any suggestions for USB-C power bricks or is the suggestion from guide (just get any Ugreen, Choetech, Baseus or Xiaomi) still the best it gets?
As far as I can tell iPhone 13 only supports up to 20W charging so I imagine I don't need any of the special shit (but might as well if they don't cost a much more)

>>107172776
it got a lot worse than I remember is it the tariffs fauls?

it's 11:11 sale, anything cool to get?

>>107172816

what do i buy?
give me da deals

>>107172847

About time to cut yourselfves away from China and start supporting your own local economies.
It's already too late but at least we can slow the downfall and perhaps hit the bottom a little more gently

>>107172907
I wanted to buy local and I bought same thing even same packaging sticker as aliexpress.

>waiting for 11/11 to get a deal on the vader 4
>listing from a decently-rated trader, with local EU shipping and sub 50€
>waited for the new thread to post it, just to see if someone had something to say about it
>listing is now gone, everything else starts at like 60
damn

>>107172950
That's why I'm saying it's already too late, for some thing you simply no longer can find a local equivalent. But do it when you can.

>>107172907
>support your local economy
by buying chinkshit bought in bulk from temu and sold at double the cost? no, thanks, I'd rather wait and get fleeced only by 10% of what I'd be charged locally
ftr, I do buy the shit you should never buy from ali/temu locally, but local shops don't carry replacement screens for old xiaomeme phones, I'm afraid
>>107172787
everything is thanks to the tariffs, my cunttree's govt had the bright idea of slapping a 35% tax on imports "to incentivize local shopping" but my point still stands, shit bought in bulk sold at 200-300% markup

Be cautious of the flood of fake Beyerdynamics on Ali, they're visually practically indistinguishable until you listen to them or open them up and look at the drivers.

Being 50% or less of MSRP should be an obvious sign but I'm sure some still catch that hook.

Looking for a smart battery charger for my Eneloops. Anyone have experience with these XTAR chargers?

Sorry isn't good enough

PREPARE MY PARCEL CHANG

i am too overwhelmed by consooming
it takes so much of my time looking at shit to order
but i can't stop
and the thing is i get stuff i want that actually has a use even if it's not a constant use

but how can it be in this life that i am always in need or want of more stuff.....

I currently use one of pic relateds but it's a genuine pain to use.
Is there a chinese equivalent that improves on this? I've been seeing some little printers but I don't trust Chang enough to install his "cat printer label maker decoration fun toy labeler" app on my phone.

Bought this mystery M.2 Artix 7 devboard from ali, "XC7A50T-IO". It's also available in 35T and 200T flavors. I had to pay like $10 for someone to download the developer resources off Baidu Pan which was linked on an image. So far the device works, the docs are not great but adequate, although it's all in chinese. I'd say it's 100% worth it for the price.

>>107173245
Other side of the "Develope Board V1.3". You can observe some pretty shoddy soldering on the oscillator.

is this a good sale or should i wait?

>>107173342
nothing ever happens.

>>107173356
i will wait.

should i trust these guys?
seems kinda shit, but i don't know much about how sellers work.

>>107173376
Real deals will start in 30 minutes.

>>107173428
really depends on what it is you're buying. best bet is reading some of the reviews.
94.9 is a little low for Ali but not terrible. If other sellers have a comparable price and better rating you can go with them.

>>107173245
>>107173270
is that board just a breakout for the fpga? cause id so the docs for it are available for free on the ayymd website (xilinx was bought by them some time ago). or is that already preprogramed with something, and if so WAT?
and do a touchup on that xo, that shit is wonky as hell, im surprised its not shorting

>>107173449
yeah, the other sellers are a bit better rating-wise but these guys are the only one shipping locally instead of china, which means much, much faster shipping

>>107173208
It's not on this list, but in case you're looking around it might still be useful
https://lygte-info.dk/info/roundCellChargerIndex%20UK.html

>>107173471
How much are you spending?
Read the reviews, message the seller if you must, go for it and hope for the best

>>107173461
Mostly breakout over the two 0.3mm FPC connectors yes, but also all the power management stuff needed for PCIe. By dev resources I meant schematics on what pin goes where and how the EEPROM is hooked up, evidently this isn't a board AMD manufactures.

>>107173504
55 bucks.
i won't die over it, but i would be pretty annoying to get used/broken shit.
i was just hoping to get a more local seller, so i didn't have to wait as long since i get antsy waiting for my stuff to arrive

>>107173526
>so i didn't have to wait as long since i get antsy waiting for my stuff to arrive
the trick is to forget you ever ordered it anon.
you're doing this all wrong.

You can share what it is you're ordering but like I said just check the reviews. 94.9 is still quite high for me to think I'm going to get blatantly used or broken shit, my concern would be shitty packaging or unresponsive sellers.

>>107173552
i'm
>>107172967
but i just noticed the listing has no reviews whatsoever so i guess it's a brand new listing.

it's this listing btw if anyone cares

I don't trust that shit

I bought this, what's the chance I'll get chinked?
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810080106860.html

>>107173232
Get the Brother E550 or newer E560. They run a little server on them and if you are programmer, you can make your own python scripts to make and print labels for you.

the shitty pig only gave me 40 cents off and the other discount are also a scam
i wanted to buy stupid stuff i dont need but it seems chang doesnt want my money

>>107173848
If you bought it for like $5-$25, very likely you get chinked. Run h2testw on that shit when you get it and find out how much space you actually got

>>107173208
A lot of these chargers will only start charging if you fill all the battery slots. You can get an 8 slot EBL brand charger that charges them individually for like 4$ more than this on Amazon.

>>107173964
$30 for 256 GB. I don't mind if it sucks since it goes in a SATA 1 device, just don't want it to be fake or broken.

>>107173510
Is it possible to put this in an nvme slot and communicate with it via a driver? Or it just happens to be the same form factor?

>>107174014
whoops, that's what I get for taking the item description at face value, forgive my retardedness
$30/256gb seems about right, rebadged hp/adata/wd drives go for about the same price, last time I checked, so you should be fine. still, give it a full pass with h2testw just to be sure
check drive life with crystaldiskinfo
don't store highly important shit in any ssd, like personal docs or backups of console nands or whatever

does temu no do 11/11 sales?

>>107173245
reminds me of pic rel

>>107174033
NVMe is a protocol, not a slot. But yes, you can put this in a M-key M.2 slot in your PC and communicate with it over PCIe. Up to PCIe 3.0 x4, so around 20 Gbps.

dont buy chargers directly from china/chinese manufacturers since they always skimp out on something even if its just independent testing and certification

>>107174410
Seemingly not an option (I live in Canada, have to order for 40$ for delivery)

Can anyone vouch whethee kbdiy store are legit or not? They got a slight discount on some TTC compared to the other shops.

>>107174564
you never go to ikea? not even for the food?
most of the things i buy there is from the swedish food market, all high quality food items i cant get from local shops (pickled herring, frozen meatballs, sausages, vegan gummies)
their stuff is a bit too expensive in north america but here in europe its pretty bang for your buck
theyre the only place that sells cables made out of tpe for a very reasonable price
i recently bought an air purifier from them, € 30 with € 4 replacement filters

Who else /discountmaxx/-ing here?

>>107174634
>you never go to ikea? not even for the food?
I would if it was closer but it's like a 3h drive
Rarely if ever go that far south
Sucks because it keeps popping up as a good budget option when I'm looking for furniture

Are those cheap wood veneers on ali real wood?

>>107174721
yeah i recently checked the catalog and they have some very nice oak veneer pieces
i dont really need furniture right now but when i move out of this dump buying all new is tempting

>>107174610
You mean KBDiy Switch Store? They're legit, I got my set of TTC Frozen V2 from them for free by stacking a bunch of coupons and shit.
The weird thing is they sent them in a ziploc bag instead of the plastic jar thing it should come in, maybe to save on shipping.

the best x99 motherboard you can get right now and it's cheap, free shipping too - but it's on alibaba, it's $44.90 with a xeon cpu, free shipping https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/PANDL-NEW-X99-WIFI-Mainboard-Combo_1601581515861.html

>>107174640
not so drastic for me, but still decent savings

wonderful, a discount only when using a service that doesnt exist outside of china

>>107173848
I don't understand why is it that people fall for these things.

Man, you had one job, and such a thing on 11.11...

Just kidding, good job with these threads.

>>107173208
I have the newer VX2 Pro and I'm pretty happy with it
I think the biggest downside of the older models is that you can only set a single charging current for all bays, which isn't an issue unless you're mixing like NiMH and lithium batteries or something
Also I'm pretty sure most XTAR chargers can charge with however many batteries at the same time you want

Speaking of headphones, what are the current recs here? /hpg/ doesn't seem to be a thing anymore and my main gripe with IEMs is that either the tips I get are shit or my ears produce toxic waste for earwax, memory foam lasts me a few weeks at best
I'm not looking for something super fancy, I just want decent enough closed backs; I considered Samson SR850 s but that little grille makes me doubt getting them because I don't want too much sound bleeding out into the air

>>107175587
>I just want decent enough closed backs;
If we're talking /csg/ tier stuff then look for some Superluxes (like HD660[non-pro are "cooler" being a DT770 design ripoff, but I heard Pro version is comfier - non Pro might be a bit tight if you have large head or hairdo], HD662, HD669 or something like ISK HD9999. SR950 for Samson. You might want to get 3rd party earpads for most Superluxes, but ISK and Samson should be fine with stock.

You might also want to look for them locally first as I believe they're taiwan-made so might be cheaper than looking in places like Aliexpress,

>>107175423

Which of the Chinese robovac brands are the least egregious? I normally wouldnt mind, but the things are intended to go around your house with a camera and mic.

my brother and me gift each other random chink shit from aliexpress for ~$10 for christmas, any suggestions? he likes electronics

>>107175587
I always recommend the velour pad SR850 & everyone I've recommended them to has been happy
they'll break after a year and a half to two years and the pads get pretty filthy so if you like them I'd just order a pack of pad replacements & change them every like 6-12 months and when the headphones break, throw them out and swap for new ones.
The Beyerdynamic Tygr headphones I've tried were very marginally better but less comfortable and like 5 times the price so it was a nobrainer to me

hoooory sheeet, I just chashed in like $120 coupon on a $700 order, I got 4 1tb SSDs to resell and the MIAD01.

>>107177680
Everyone I've seen talking about this says to not buy one off a chink site.
I think the one exception is if you buy it off a big brand that makes something that uses it
Like some 18650 flashlight makers sell some bundles where you get a battery with the flashlight, in that case you're usually okay if they specify it (sometimes you can ask for a specific one at an upcharge)

I don't even know half the shit I ordered I lost myself in a sea of consuming. They had a £11 off here with no minimum spend I rinsed it for all it was worth across multiple accounts I feel so dirty bros I bought so much

>>107172708 (OP)
Are there any 11/11 deals worth a fuck or they chinked up the prices again to pretend theres a discount?

>>107178592
no. as usual the only worthwhile part of the sale is the coupon codes. some items are maybe 5-10% cheaper than they were yesterday but of course they are all "70% off!" from madeup prices

>>107178592
The baseus/ugreen stuff I've been eyeing up hasn't changed in price.
Some of the stuff I bought last week have gone down in price by about 10%, plus new coupons.
If it turns out that Suckturd lost my shit>>107178238 and it all gets refunded I'd be saving probably 15% lest there be some coupon/sale conflict with the items.
On an unrelated note, here's a dollar for anyone that wants it and is currently checking out: PQ46M8C56E19

I compressed 500 GB of data into 649 bytes via ipfs and zstd. Proof with links to the full data:
https://ar01.fyeo.io/raw/cOwgmLxvco6qCM-in7DhYljZCVTt6JHae3muWlki4S0

It's a retail disk image of a PNY CS900 SSD (raw drive at /dev/sda catted out).

My question is this: it says "MTBF: 2,000,000 hours" (mean time between failures = 228.3 years) and that can't be right, right? The Asians got it wrong; it should be "2,000,000 minutes", which is 3.805 years. And the warranty for that SSD is about 3 years. I bought it at BestBuy for a stupid price of 45 USD (so 90 USD per terabyte). Pic related.

>compressed 500 GB of data into 649 bytes
Forgot to say: the whole drive was initialized with only binary zeros, so it makes sense that the compression ratio is like 700,000,000

any good cheap 3.5mm/usb c dac I can pick up

>>107179162
MTBF is calculated by all the hours from all the drives under test/number of failures.
Basically, the 2E6 hours are not consecutive on the same drive but spread out across hundreds or thousands of drives.

>>107176806
It's like a toy with "functionality".

>>107179221
OK, so 2 x 10^6 is in reference to the hours counted up per drive when testing however many drives they put under load. Then, this number seems useless; why not divide it by the number of drives, then you'd get the average or something. (Perhaps I sound ignorant making this post, but whatever.)

>>107178973
it do be like that sometimes

>>107179279
You're conflating mbtf with product lifetime.
Mbtf is a useful figure for enterprise where you might genuinely get millions of cumulative hours across several drives and are concerned about the failure rate. For a steam library? Not as useful.
To be honest even for enterprise it's a bit of a marketing figure and therefore easily massaged. Crib death drives? taken out of the equation. Revisions made to the drive's board and firmware? Not reflected in the original mbtf.
power up and down cycles? nah. Product with a short service life? Just use shitloads of drives to get the hours up.
For a good example of this look up the recent debacle with samsung 980 PRO drives. They had the same 2E6 hour quoted mbtf but a firmware fuckup caused them to brick/readonly after writing like 50tb to them.

>>107179413
I forgot to mention that there is a jedec standard for it, but I'm never truly sure it is always followed.

I bought an identical set from another brand years ago. Very good for the price and will save your ass when you need some obscure bit.
The steel isn't particularly hard and the small bits (particularly flathead) will be damaged very easily.
The flexible shaft is worse than useless.

The one thing I'd reccomend is if you're going to buy ones with torx bits, just look for the ones that have security torx.

I love it when people buy these things and I read what they feel about it.

Is it weird to buy a motorcycle helmet even though I don't need one and just want to display it? Some of the chink ones looks nice, even though I probably would never use it.

Did I see correctly there existed a coupon code for a 1000USD threshold or did I hallucinate that? Or mix it up with 1000 maple bucks?

>>107179124
The only driver+bits set I've ever bought that wasn't garbage was the ifixit one.
One of the few youtube shill campaigns that weren't absolute shit.

PLEASE SIR

>>107175587
I just bought the fiio jt1 for $80 cad for similar reasons. No idea what im in for though probably an upgrade over the last closed backs i had (monoprice from 10 years ago).

did you guys get anything for the Amazon Haul 11.11 sale? The £D printing filament selection was shit but I boughteted 1kg of black matte Sunlu PLA for like 3€ just because
>>107178973
I've got a friend who gets anime shirts from Ali and I've been surprised by the quality, also I was eyeing that meme one too so good to know it's decent
>>107180673
I'd go as far as saying that it's the only acceptable reason to ever buying a chink helmet

>>107179504
>buy samsung and kodak microsd's
>both made in china from some random shenzhen technological park
haha oh man

>>107180444
hm, wait. does your tablet force landscape mode?
that's probably why it squishes everything. turn auto-rot off and use it vertically

>>107179124
perfectly fine for smaller stuff
if you've got really stubborn or hard screws the bits will brittle away, but I always reach for this kit because of the number of bits it has

>>107172708 (OP)
>Got free credits from opening and closing that popmart livestream a couple of times.
Thanks chang.

>>107180512
probably a rod shot through their asshole when the cylinder explodes

please do not buy chairs without the butt armor plate. PLEASE.

>>107178973
link to shirt? I want to get it for the lulz

>>107178814
some anon had one, not sure which model

>>107180571
as weird as any sport collectible of people that doesnt play that sport

>>107181180
Probably can't beat audiotechnicas

>everything during "sale" is more expensive than buying locally
whats the point of aliexpress anymore? nobody is going to deal with their shady business practices if its not significantly cheaper

last week for some reason I had a $3 coupon so I ordered something
but today on 11/11 I'm not seeing anything cheaper than last week

>>107181863
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007242834916.html
theres a bunch of different ones too

>>107173689
update
the same store posted another listing for 42 bucks, decided to just take it.
with a coupon i got it down to 37, which seems pretty good

worst case scenario i'll refund it.

>>107178355
Not unless you post something noteworthy.
The order goes roughly:
OC picture+review>listing picture+review>review>post with much engagement>funny post>post without much engagement
Same for images to get into the OP pic:
OC>listing picture>meme>anything else

Is there a fully mesh ergonomic chair that's decent and afforrdable? Not premium shit like herman miller

>>107180479
that suspiciously cheap for a chair. they got for around 150 at least.

I got same recommends on temu as items I browsed on alix or bought

SCARY SHIT.

>>107182122
november choice lads, we won. 11.11 chuds lot

Any suggestions for USB-C power bricks or is the suggestion from guide (just get any Ugreen, Choetech, Baseus or Xiaomi) still the best it gets?
As far as I can tell iPhone 13 only supports up to 20W charging so I imagine I don't need any of the special shit (but might as well if they don't cost a much more)

Posting again before I just pick some random cheap bullshit

>>107182703
>is the suggestion from guide still the best it gets?
Basically yes
If you want another data point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAoOo7GtIBI

>>107182613
it wasn't a suggestion
i deserve it

>>107182703
I got ugreen it just werks? but dont get xiaomi its the most faked brand on chink sites.

>>107182790
ugreen doesnt care about western safety standards
their cables and adapters are generally are fine but theyre a shady company throughout
like selling firmware hacked bluetooth 5.4 dongles as 6.0

>>107182957
>he doesn't know the truth behind bluetooth versions

>>107179124
I have this exact set, it's mediocre. The handle occasionally gets use with my nicer bit set with an electric screwdriver I don't want to break by wrenching on it, the most useful part is the plastic guitar pick spudgers but they're cheap plastic so they deform very easily and need a new edge cut into them.

If you're going to buy bits, don't buy these shiny plated ones, they're all junk. You want the grey ones.

Anyone bought any decent board game stuff off ali? I bought a few things last year and they were mostly alright aside from a ticket to ride game that was so poorly printed that half the colors were wrong.

>>107182957
then what the fuck do I get, is it better to just get a cheap one in a local store or off amazon or something?

>>107170197
i dunno but i have the creative pebbles

400 in pinballs
still only 1 coupon

>>107178973
>meme shirt feels pretty decent
>anime shirts from Ali and I've been surprised by the quality

Chinks now can make decent clothing for really cheap?
ITS FUCKING OVER, well they still put lead and other chemicals into it but its cheap

>>107179124
i was asking this summer to no real responses and got one anyways
it's garbage
it's a toy made to look like a tool.
imagine using your nephews Fisher Price toy tools
except made to look like real tools
i posted a photo at the beginnig of october how the torx bit melted like butter on first use
the handle is flimsy shit
the tweezers are a joke. complete joke.
the spudgers are shit plastic. you can get standalone set for a few bucks anyways.
the demagnetizer is a dinky little thing. though it does kinda work.
the bits are chinesium
it's good enough to hold up for a one time light use and the people put it away
so they think it's good enough. they post a 4 or 5 star review on ali or amazon.
it's not a real tool.
just a toy made to look like tools and may even function well enough for light use.

God I love stacking external cash back sites with AliExpress sales events

if you need the air duster just get this thing its on sale yeah its expensive but its only good one, chinks ones are shit

wolfbox.com/products/compressed-air-duster-mf100

>>107183403
so ifixit from china is somehow better huh

I'm not familiar with the Dollar Express section. Can I trust to get the same product cheaper there or am I gonna get chang'd?

>>107183460
no clue
i bought another set from china
it's a real tool
the 115 set is a joke

I spend 100s a month on temu
ali is so ass compared to it

looking for some cool metal frame wall art, any suggestions

alibaba is cheaper than aliexpress for tech products

>>107183647
Haven't tried alibaba but don't you have to send an inquiry to get the actual price + shipping

>>107183680
no i bought this motherboard for the 1 piece price and free shipping https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-Active-Cooling-X99-XD4-WIFI_1601579164699.html?spm=a27aq.30036081.1399227200.2.7413736dbdt7wK

But alibaba doesn’t have coins

>>107183697
But the "free shipping" is just for the 1st order

>>107183714
the free shipping is up to a certain amount, you can view the shipping fee if you scroll down but you have to be logged in (zip code entered)

>>107183700
i have over $100 worth of coins on aliexpress but they wont let you use them all at once, and they expire, it's a scam

>>107183194
How is it for listening to podcasts? Or just people speaking in general? Is it clear or muddy? My current speakers are ass for people speaking, everything sounds garbled

Does anyone make a decent KVM? I need two video outs, hdmi.
My current vp-sw230 requires switching back and forth multiple times to probably get both monitors to work.

I bought more bootleg figures...

>>107183749
Did anyone notice, now that Ali advertises coins heavily during the sales, most sellers have removed the coin discounts or reduced them to 1 or 2%

>>107183997
I'm glad that in the 10 years I've used Ali I never bothered with any of this shit.

>>107183837
I wouldn't say muddy
Sound fine to me but I'm no audiophile. I wouldn't say I was particularly impressed by them but I'm not disappointed either.

i have a confession
the scalper i fucking bought from wasnt chang
it was toshiaki
sorry for shouting ship my shit chang

>>107184013
But you could have saved money!
Don’t you enjoy saving money?

>>107183997
I notice that when there are high cashback event from third party cashback sites, the coin discounts usually go down for some items. Currently rakuten has 20% cashback, was 30% yesterday.

>>107183460
i have a ifixit thingy i got a few years ago.
personally, i'm satisfied.
you're not screwing a car motor in, obviously, but it does it's job.

I want to add features to a Robosen robot. Namely FPV view and a strong laser pointer
I already have a Meta Quest so a camera that connects to it would be ideal. Any ideas?

>>107183497
it is pretty reliable. all the same stuff, just optimized on ali's end at warehouses that process faster, and for cheaper.

question for the anons that use the app, have you ever gotten one of those "free" (actualy $0.1 + shipping handling taxes etc) prizes from the trees? other than the hidden fees, what's the catch?

>>107185193
it can be only used on tree page and those items suck?

>>107183460
Contrary to what you might hear, China is very capable of making good quality shit. They are also capable of making bad quality shit. The difference is in QA. Most Chinese brands don't give a fuck about their quality, as long as the shiny pictures on ali can get them your money. They know their brand is useless and will replace it in a heartbeat.

A brand like iFixit does care about their reputation and about QA. They push the factory to make good shit.

>>107185395
And unfortunately, the quality chinese stuff is only marginally cheaper that the quality chinese stuff manufactured white label for a western company.

>>107185193
those items are "free" only if you dont value your time

>>107185457
Yeah. TANSTAAFL

>>107185193
First one is okay, I picked the hardest one because I knew it will get harder.
Second was alright
Third was insane grind from 90% to 100%
now on Fourth and its even slower.

Yes it works, but the items are crap, "toys" and extra thin material etc.

>>107185395
that take is just as retarded as
>china bad
china is wholly incapable of producing good steel or modern microprocessors
or original intellectual property at that, everything is stolen from the west

>>107185494
japanese started that way too

>>107185193
I got two towels for watering the tree.
>>107185344
This is true, I wouldn’t have bought them irl
>>107185459
This is also true, so I have decided to buy some real plants and water them instead

>>107185587
I'd be watering my plants today.
IF SUKHDHEEP HADN"T DELIVERED MY WATERING CAN TO THE WRONG ADDRESS>

>>107185618
that looks stupid

>>107185193
I got the LED lamp and the shaver with changeable heads from the tree game. I got a little brush from the gogomatch game when it had shell currency They are dollar store bargain bin quality. The games are a motivator to view ads. I'm sure they've done the accounting to profit from it. I am neet. I have no life. I have nothing. I am nothing. That's it. That's the catch. If you're a real human being whose life has value then there is no point in partaking in this.

>>107185640
I means I can water my potted plants directly on their dirt without the leaves splashing water all over the floor.
I've been using an old oiler to water succulents for this very reason.

>>107185494
This is of course not even remotely true.

why do all the chink IEM's have that cable that goes around your ears? fucking hate that shit but ALL of the seemingly good ones do that.

The absolute state of AliExpress """Deals""". They just raise the price 10 days before 11.11 to lower it back to baseline on 11.11.

so there are no 11.11 deals?

I just want the world cup thing we had a while back. Got like $75 free off of it.

>>107185930
You don't understand friend. Prices were lowered for 11.11 promotion. Please understand
-Alan.

>>107185930
PERHAPS THE SAME COULD BE SAID OF ALL ONLINE SALE

>>107185854
It's not just chink iems, it's audiophile technique. Audio nerds used to put straight cables over ear to help with microphonics (hitting wire creates sound), and now it's pre-formed over ear for easy use.

>>107185930
yep, nothing in my cart went down a significant amount.
maybe like 40 cents on a few items.

>>107185980
i don't have issues with my cables banging all over the place so it just makes it more annoying to put on and take off.
and now i have to wipe the cable to keep it clean now instead of just the ear tips.

>>107185854
You're looking for bullet-style IEMs.
Alternately, you could cut the earhook plastic off the cables and not bother putting them over ear.

I need a drill. Any decent stuff? Not for heavy or professional use.

>>107183742
wait a minute, you don't have to use a local middleman to reship your stuff from Alibaba anymore??

>>107185854
just buy etymotics

>>107185536
That image is pants on heads retarded it’s baffling that it still makes the rounds

Why are thermal cameras so expensive? I just want something to check for poor insulation and see how much hotter my dick is compared to the rest of my body.

>>107188285
bro $75 is a bargain on that tech, to the point that i suspect it wont work.

Let see how stupid order this is.

>>107187494
I still gotta buy one of those it's been years

>>107188285
Why do I feel like that's going to be no better than the usb-c thermal imagers, but worse?

>>107188593
Because it's got a useless lowres sensor maybe?
Don't buy this >>107188285, spend more money if you really need it

got one of these for my switch 2 and ipad, it's pretty good but all the segments rotate vertically only, and I've seen others online that rotate the last segment horizontally so you can set it sideways on a bedside table
can't complain because it was only $6 anyway, and I could drill a hole on the last segment to screw it from the side and get horizontal rotation but I'm paranoid about destroying it

The Kukurin C1 was such a good bang or the buck. but I cancelled because I found another deal.
This monster has Two 50 AMP controllers.
That's a total 6000 watt into the torque.
2400 Watthour for 860 Euro.
Cost twice as much as th Kukurin, but I feel like I'm getting more than thrice the value in components.

But sometimes I can feel the spirit of the entreprenurs over there really trying their best to cram in good stuff and competing with established brand names,

64gb sd cards are straight up almost the same price as 32gb sd cards these days huh? Like just a few cents difference, funny how storage progresses, the smaller storage becomes more "expensive" by staying the same price and the bigger storage becomes cheaper.

>uses 1w and has a 100mah battery inside
>regulated thru usb power source

>>107189116
>64gb sd cards
I used to preach for Chinese SD cards, until I got scammed first hand.

I can't trust that shit anymore. The only thing they reliably make are SSDs.

I've literally started a campfire with the pouch cells inside of a polaroid film tray. (350mAh iirc) And this is after it was empty of film, so with discharged pouches to boot.
All you need for fire is kindling. Like a box, or a pillow.

>>107189130
Was it one of those xingxiang ones or was it a fake sandisk? All my SD cards are from ali, all real samsung and sandisks, and honestly they're so much cheaper that it's worth the very low risk, as there's always reviews showing validrive or h2testw results. Only time I got a junk one was when I got one of those ultra cheap ones with chinese names, and the storage is real just the controller is trash.

>>107189208
I placed the order again. This time I was luckily able to properly bundle everything and even added some extra garbage.
I was still not able to bundle the handheld vacuum filters, but instead of buying 2 for $7 each and paying for shipping I've got one for $2, one for $7, and $2 in shipping which still works out better.
I shall not be crabless.

>>107189267
>was it a fake sandisk?
This.
I don't mind fake brands, I don't car about brand. but when you hack the firmware to spoof the capacity, that's when I lost my trust forever.

>>107189217
skill issue

>>107189335
fake brands are like filters where it comes forward with the proposition that you're going to get scammed, and it'll only catch the dumbest retards who are unlikely to dispute
it's like you're playing against someone who's holding their hand facing you and you're still losing. don't buy sandian or sansumg, ever. don't buy "xiaomi" or "oneplus" powerbanks. there is literally no need to do this.

>>107189335
>sandian
yeah so it was one of those xingxiang ones. when I say "fake sandisk" I really mean a fake one with sandisk written on it, I've never gotten one of those. I also never bought 1TB ones, but my 512gb samsung evo plus is definitely real. If you ever want to buy again, I only buy ones that say they're sandisk ultra or samsung evo plus, never buy the ones with chinese names, and I always look at the reviews with pictures of h2testw or validrive results, but I don't blame you for not wanting to try after getting scammed.

>>107189267
>All my SD cards are from ali, all real samsung and sandisks
>>107189416

>Complains that it was a scam.
Lol. Anyway I've got a Kodak and Netac 128gb card coming in (which cost me $4 and $2 respectively after coins/coupon discounts, bought the Kodak before the sale) that I'm gambling on, but thee reviews did show they legit.

yeah that's standard 14500 batts for you. blue cover 450-500mah used in most consumer electronics.

I'll +1 the liitkola. Not any experience of yet, but I've a handfull of 18650's (They pink 54F's) inbound. Casual glance at reviews, they appear to be written by people with ½ a clue, and they appear to be going back for more...

>>107177680
Also, lithium isn't what you want for 'keeping its charge'. They discharge unused, relatively rapidly, and if they fall below a threshold most charg circuits won't recognise them as valid cells....

>>Proof of Delivery shows an indian hand holding my package to show the address

>>107178148
>Everyone I've seen talking about this says to not buy one off a chink site.
Yet, they are at the forefront of battery chemistry. Panasonic is about all they need to worry about.

There's a *lot* of cheap shit, but you do kinda get what you pay for.

Someone that makes torches probably isn't the 'right' direction to look at, either. A little LED isn't a high drain application. Even my 65W LED torch doesn't count. You ideally want to target someone who has batteries as their bread and butter, not a side gig, and have a reputation for high quality cells.

Managed to -£150+ my cart without trying.

>>107178814
I recentish got some similar thing, "niimbot D11".

Wants to infect a mobile device with a (cr)app to work. Your milage may vary.

Found some .py script for mine, but I'm too dense to make it go. Well, the python runs, but I can't make it see the printer...

>>107179189
>only binary zeros
So one form is zero, what's the other form of zero?

Isn't that how drives work anyway? Hex is an abstraction layer atop?

>>107180571
>Is it weird
This is 4chan. That's tame.

As long as you don't intend on using it. Hitting the road at 120MPH isn't the time to find out it's not actually up to standard.

>>107182673
It's almost as if they both dump - and retrieve - data in the same place...

>>107183680
Depends.

People say 'aliexpress is the chinese ebay' - but the crucial difference is alibaba. Alibaba came first, and is actually intended for business business. Tho some will entertain low order quantities of 1. (fl)Ebay started person person and the businesses followed the traffic, Aliexpress was business consumer and people followed the traffic.

Both ali's are operated by the same entities, it's just a different intended goal...

>>107185077
>and a strong laser pointer
What could possibly go wrong...

>>107185193
>question for the anons that use the app,
> what's the catch?

Let me see. So this (cr)app transfers data across two diverse systems in a uniform fashion. We used to have a tool for that, it's called a 'web browser'.

So what does this (cr)app do, that the web browser can't?

Hint: it's not constrained by security restrictions put in place around a browser.

I wonder what the catch could be...

>>107185494
>china is wholly incapable of producing good steel or modern microprocessors
Explaining why they've just created a process that allows them to make decent steel out of what would otherwise be pigiron, and ended their dependance on imported Oz ore.

As for modern processors, remind me, who's leading the way with RISC-V? And watch where them things are in 5 years time. It will end ARM. Probably x86_64.

>or original intellectual property at that, everything is stolen from the west

Implying you didn't steal it first? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't everything you've got either built on what you stole from europe during the industrial revolution, or what you stole in Operation Paperclip?

>>107185986
I managed £1.50 here, £3.80 there... But a few things were literally 50%. Overall it -£150+ off my cart...

Ofc, YMMV

>>107185536
OMG how did I not notice snake before

You managed to educate me, anon, give yourself a cookie or whatever.

>>107188285
>Why are thermal cameras so expensive?
If 'low resolution' isn't a concern for you, as this product suggests, and if you have some 'hobby grade' electronix skillz, considered building your own?

Can get MLX90640BAB or AMG8833's pretty cheap. Ie: less than a tenner. Could use multiple units to up resolution..

Sensor(s) in that gun aint much better...

>>107189335
It could be it is legitimately that size, ie: unspoofed, but essentially rejects from anyone else's production run - so you'll never get the advertised capacity....

>>107188652
Alright, I spent a bit more money and got the Thermal Master P1. $107.95 usd before Rakuten 30% cashback.

Already regretting not getting the Mileseey TR10 now though. It's $10 cheaper, is standalone and has higher resolution. 190x190 vs 160x120.

>>107191322
So... You've paid more money for lower sensor resolution provided by the standalone gun solution, and you need to infect a tardphone to be able to use it?

Sounds good. Is now the time to point out you can get them things for a lot less than $10 cheaper?

>>107188285
if you're just checking insulation you can just use those basic digital thermometers and point it at the place you're testing for leaks and watch the number change.
unless you're doing this professionally where time is money and you have to do like 30 houses a day you're wasting money getting an actual thermal camera.

My first haul ever directly from Taobao. 3 Hollow Knight figures, a tiny anime cat girl figure, one 20cm gunfu figure with a futuristic P90 and a frieren being eaten by a mimic figure, + one 20cm Marcille figure still on the way. All of this, including the shipping, set me back less than $30. I think it was all around $26 with the shipping. I was really worried I'd get scammed or that they would send something completely different, but so far Taobao has exceeded my expectations. Vetting the sellers and only buying items with real photos in the reviews helped, I guess. Overall, I'd say it's much better than Ali, and it has much lower prices. Shipping is a little faster too. I don't think I'm going to go back to Alishit and their overinflated gaijin prices after this, bros. I'm paying like a real Chinaman from here on out.

>>107191365
I only ever use Taobao if I buy multiple stuff at once. It doesn't make sense to buy a $5 item and have a shipping fee of $10.
I buy a lot of plushies there.

>>107191357
Something like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009400544425.html

can perform role, if you can't be bothered to build one yourself...

>>107191373
I do recommend buying multiple items at once. And preferably from the same seller. I shipped to a Chinese address first, then a local shipping company shipped the packages to my address for $1 USD/kg.

>>107191357
Or just buy a thermal camera from Amazon, use it and then return it

>>107190712
Fuck.

I can't cancel it either because the seller already shipped it.

>>107191388
I use Superbuy to buy from them. It's pretty nice.

>>107191413
Meant to quote
>>107191322

>>107191424
When it turns up, hit it with a hammer it arrived broken refund?

If you actually had control over the 'tardphone you might be able to look at the USB hardware ID (ie: 1a86:7523) and determine how you interface it not using the state sponsored malware...

I hate chinks so much.

>>107191474
Because it costs them to post you things, and a business doesn't want to do this at a loss?

>>107191491
Nta, but on Ali they specify how much the shipping will cost to your area during checkout. Anyone asking you to pay more than that is a scammer.

>>107191474
ignore it and just leave the order there, they'll get penalized by the system back end when it gets canceled automatically.
you're gonna get scammed if you pay them.

>>107191365
very nice

>>107191474
they have to pack the legs separately so her cunny won't get crushed in shipping
this is a genuine concern

>>107190518

>>107191521
Yeah, I'm going to report the seller after the order auto cancels.

I was able to use up my Aliexpress cashback on the order so it turned out alright.

I hope it's not the same seller running different stores though. I had this problem last time where all the stores carrying this specific tripod were all scamming.

>>107191474
Friendly reminder that Temu does not have this problem. If for some reason any seller messages you about extra fees or whatnot, all you have to do is report it (https://www.temu.com/bgch_report_suspicious.html) and he gets the boot from the system (and any pending payments on the platform will be void).

>>107191491
Are you working closely with the crew that let that bridge collapse? How's the weather in there?

>>107191491
mail is subsidized. they want to skim an extra $7 off the record

>>107191639
temu customer service, postage and accounting is super legit. no weird 15-20% tax which ali adds onto bundles

>>107188797
not what you asked for but there is a chrome extension that lets you open bundle links as just the item instead

I haven't seen this scam before... Payment request for an order already paid for.

>>107191365
Are figurines cheaper on taobao or ali?

>>107191639
And which of my replies in particular lead you to believe I'm associated with the construction industry? I probably found out about that after you. Weather is as to be expected for this time of year, if anything a little warm. Any particular reason the weather in England is a concern for you?

>>107191758
On Ali most medum sized figures are in the range of $17-35. That's per figure. Plus shipping. I used to pay $5-10 per figure for shipping, too. Shit's crazy expensive compared to Taobao. But shipping price also probably depends on where you live.

>>107191729
By off the record, you mean via the platform, and into their heavily tracked bank account?

>>107191746
Me either...

>>107191894
off the record means not on the platform and a different acct number that isn't linked to ali

>>107191956
I don't see any evidence in these pictures that supports that statement.

>>107191746
Riveting tale, chap. Quite chopsy, aren't we?

>>107192084
Wonky reply, it was meant for >>107191877
What a kerfuffle, indeed.

>>107192099
As the truth actually only becomes the truth once you decide to believe it, there's not really much sanity in trying to convince you of otherwise... so...

If you say so.

>>107191154
>trusting ANYTHING china says
lmaoed at
>modern processors
>risc-v
and i AM european you idiot

>>107192149
My bad. With the level of ignorance I'd assumed 'murrican.

As for trust, you must take some things on face value, or you wouldn't be making the purchase in the first place? Until I see evidence otherwise, what reason is to distrust?

Have a jolly good chuckle at RISC-V while you can.

>>107173848
Orico is real and that's just an enclosure (see the screwdriver). >>107173964 and >>107175435 are retards

>>107192441
Pretty sure it's not an enclosure, it's SATA, what would it enclose? mSATA?
Plus there are size options

>>107192225
thats not how science works you fucking retard, you cant just magically invert the burden of proof to make it about disproving theories instead of proving them
china has lost all of its scientific creditability by continuously shitting out unreproducible studies

if you were anywhere near the scientific community youd know nobody takes china seriously nor trusts them whatsoever

>>107192450
I didn't click the link. I am in fact the true retard. 1000 apologies >>107173964 >>107175435

>>107192463
Good thing I'm basing my assessment on the technology before china started running with it, and what I've seen on the field in what timeframe.

If you're worried about science, you'd be able to find plenty to support my statement. I mean OpenPiton only been about for the better part of a decade and can scale to ½billion cores. And wasn't a product of China.

I'm moving to a unit with no neighbors next week. I'm thinking of finally ditching headphones for speakers/sound bar
I've never had any and know nothing, I'm the furthest thing from an audiophile but curious.
Any cheap recommendations? No budget just great value
