I'm putting together my GM Spartan. How do these stickers work? Do I soak it in water to get it out? What's the white paper for?
>>101501009XFS Spartan, nice. I believe those are waterslides, yeah. Word of warning, built the kit yesterday and it's actually pretty good aside from the polycaps. Polycaps need trimming and even the cap holes might.
I dont know what to buy

>>101501029Thanks. I'll give the decals a try once I finished building it. I've only done the head, torso and left arm so far and I have no complaints. I got 3 sets of visors for some reason.
>>101501816They gave me two sets. Everything else was in order and free is free.

>>101477463>Xeon E5 V3 E5-2650V3 are so cheap there which makes me VERY skeptical about the seller. These used to sell for $1000 back then and now they're like $12? And some mobo+cpu combo with the same cpu only costs ~$120.It's 10 year old, power hungry, hardware that's no longer supported by the manufacturer. local businesses in my area put 5 yo. hardware up for auction and recoup maybe 10% of the sales price. It's absolutely serviceable for entertaining children with video games and light office work, coding, media streaming, linux distro hopping and virtualization etc. but probably not acceptable in any competitive business environment.

What's the most worthwhile and economic SBC I can buy from the Chinks? I'd read that Orange Pi 5 Pro surpasses Raspberry Pi 5 in most benchmarks, and is reccommended in the guide, but is it adequate, insufficient, or overkill if the only things I need it to do are office/Word work, surfing, and watching non-streamed movies no larger than 1080p?Basically, imagine a guy still using Windows 7 and a 15-year old PC looking for a cheap modern alternative with similar specs.

>Aliexpress disputes are 90% pointless. If the items cheap, then they have no problems with giving you the money back with a dispute. But on expensive items you'll never win disputes, even if you proved everything beyond a shadow of a doubt. And they will drag them on for 2 months.>Never chat with these aliexpress sellers, you should ignore all messages. You are not speaking with the store owners, you're speaking with a scumbag that wants to scam you , so he can pocket money without his boss knowing. To make matters worse, there are even scammers inside aliexpress headquarters it's self. A number of times in the past when I did an aliexpress dispute, I would receive scamming emails, mostly wanting me to pay a small amount of money in order to get my issue resolved. Look at the address that the scamming emails are coming from, and notice slightly bad english and grammar.>You will learn over time that chinese are scammers. It's been their culture for 100 years under the CCP and they even scam their own people, but their own people are wise to it. Don't ever buy something that expensive from aliexpress again. Good tip is the less you message sellers the better. I don't ever message these people anymore. The more you chat with them, the more they think they can scam you. Stop chatting and don't read their messages, they don't care about you or what you want. They will say what you want to hear, until you buy from them then they don't care anymore about you. It's not like the west, where you build business relationships from spending a lot of money at a store.
>Your credit card company is always going to believe you, so they are your solution. Wait until you receive whatever he sent you. Or wait until you see something fishy with the tracking details. Once you can 100% confirm that you've been scammed with proof, then phone your credit card company and file a dispute. It could take the credit card company a while, but they'll always side with you.>People have to start ignoring aliexpress disputes because it's a lie and a scam. If it's a $5-10 item then sure do an aliexpress dispute. For everything else it's paypal and credit card disputes that should be made. If you get your aliexpress account banned, then you can just make a new one. Believe me, it works 10/10 times. You edit your old account details, change the name, address and remove your credit card. Then make a new one in your real name again. After I was scammed from aliexpress, I only pay with paypal now. It's a western brand and similar to your credit card company, they're going to believe you and resolve things in your favor, but you still have to prove it.

idk why did I buy this usb tester.all my chink cable/charger are fine. As long as you buy from tier1,2 or even 3 brand, it's all good. You don't need to test itwasted 20$ I guess. It's the FNB48p.

Anyone tried one of those Lego engine models? Looks cool but I have a gut feeling it will arrive fucked up or missing pieces.
>>101513246>fucking magnetic screwdrivers, how do they work?a piece of metal becomes magnetic when its all one "pole", it becomes "demagnetized" when the magnetic regions of the metal piece become completely chaotic (1mm^2 is positive, the all around it is negative, and so on)or something along these lines

>>101512386>>101512566Sorry guys, I should've been more specific. I'm looking to re-magnetize some fridge magnets, not tools
>>101514015>>101514032that's completely bananas, what the fuck this is amazing
>>101514337>re-magnetize some fridge magnetsNo idea on how to magnetize a dead magnet (of any sort).Idea #1: Remove old magnet from back of design. Glue in a new magnet.
So i installed aliexpress on a new phone and use same account on both phone. I notice coin discount (on same item& shop) on new phone is much worse...like 10-20% off compare to one on old phoneSo either coin discount rate is some how calculated client based or this is Chang's anti abuse algo.This is on all items btw
>>101514462On one phone, put an item into your cart.On the other phone, put a different item into your cart.Now check both cart items from both phonesto see if the discounts remain unchanged.
>>101514657the discounts from the coins page doesn't work in the cart, you get the actual discount in checkout when clicking buy nowbut yeah you could click buy now for the same item on both phones and compare the the final prices
>>101507592no chang, I am a white australian multimillionaire doing competition research.
>>101514337actually loledfor that you would need some fucking massive and expensive electrical coil, capable of massive induction power. there is probably some video on jewtube about that as well, look for "how magnets are made" or some shit like that (no i aint gonna keep spoon feeding a brainlet)
>>101515046wouldn't it make more sense that the fridge magnets are not actually magnets but just a magnetized material?
>>101514337How did the fridge magnet even get de-magnetized in the first place?
>>101514462>>101514657idk maybe test it yourself if you have a spare phone. Finally price is clearly different. Discount is from coins only
>>101515372They are shitty swags I got from my company event. Probably some chink shit my company got some from Alibaba warehouse to begin with. They are flat sheets with "cool facts" and the type, like how a sticker of shortcuts goes on a laptop.
>>101515388Mine coin page doesn't even come close to your price. Are you using the latest AliExpress app on both? Maybe the older app gives better prices.For reference I'm using version 8.102.6
>>101515388>>101515464Coin deals and Superdeals can fluctuate day-to-day / same day opening up the app different times. Also, I believe your Ali social consoooomer score has an effect. Also possible following a store "unlocks," different deals from them.
>>101515480Yeah but the guy is using the same account on both phones. The price "in theory" should be the same.
>>101515480dude read my first post in the reply chainthe point being I used one(1) account on two(2) different phones. On the newly installed phone on the right, the coin discount % rate is much worse, don't you see? 1 account, 1 item, 1 shop. How does that happen? Should it be the same on both phones ?Either this is some aliexpress' anti cheat algo or coin discount is client based. You can easily test it yourself. Get a phone, it doesn't even have to be new, just that one never had aliexpress app installed on it. Then use your account on that phone. Go to discount finder and check items there. It looks wildly different from your main phone.I'd take more screen shot, but since anons think I'm nut so probably not>>101515464honestly I have no idea, I only have 1 account and even then, discounts are different on two devices lol.you probably have shipping cost there, and something supply demand depend on where you live?
>>101515538USA, but maybe I used the wrong link? Can you send the link you used so I can double check because maybe I clicked the wrong controller. I did pick the controller from the right seller, which the GameSir official store but the base price is about $10 higher.
>>101509766should call it "rogslop" for short
>>101515558>Usamy price is before tax bruh. That's probably it
>>101515647My price is also before tax. Post the link, I want to double check because there are multiple controllers. One has a wireless dongle and one doesn't.
>>101515660Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro Wireless Switch Controller Bluetooth Gamepad with Hall Effect for Nintendo Switch iPhone Android Phonehttps://a.aliexpress.com/_oBJZZc4
>>101515746Okay this coin discount on this link is way better.This is the price of the controller without the dongle.
>>101515785Picture related is with the dongle included
any working coupons on aliexpress?
Any reccs for a handful of drone batteries like the Emax in pic, either OEM or alternative?

AliExpress is shilling the Cubot Max 5 and... If I wanted to get a phone directly from Chinese mail I'd buy it, it's fucking overpowered for $200 (before taxes, early bird price, shipping is $10 for me). It's also stupidly big and has an IPS display thoughHope it doesn't have any weird QC issues, also I haven't checked if you can root and install custom ROMs phones from that brand easily
>>101515388Huh, tried to replicate it to no avail.Used my iPhone and Sony Xperia with the same account in the latest version of the app for both then chose the same Huawei Earbuds from the coin page, went to check out and got $23.26 on both devices.
>>101514462Chang's discounts are broken>>101515388Can you check the final price when doing >>101469870?
>>101516313Isn't the cubot king Kong x seem slightly better if you don't care about the 5g network. Since it has a SD card slot and 10200 mAh battery
>>101516392>and 10200 mAh batterylel is that the standard nowadays?i'm still on 2500mAh and charging every other day
>>101516392The King Kong X's SoC is a lot weaker, and having a big battery would be nice but carrying a dense 388g brick at all times (2x what most phones weigh nowadays) wouldn't

>>101518780That sucks. Any good ones you know of? Or should I just buy an official set on amazon or something?
>>101518367large corporations are typically price insensitive and plan for the obsolescence of their hardware for fiscal as well as technical reasons. a company that spends $1k on a server CPU probably isn't going to use the server until it's running on fumes.
>>101519769i will add that the cpu price is kinda irrelevant compared with the power usage and the space usage on most places

I want a cheap FM radio to keep hidden away somewhere for emergency (or maybe if I'm really bored and want background noise)Any recommendations?Ideally something rechargeable
>>101520783yeah i know that feelWhen it's only random numpties reviewing the thing. That kind of instills less confidence. Then again there's so much product out there only few items can ever be reviewed by the high class review whores.
>>101521158>so much product out there it's completely in reverse here - trackballs have fuck all products so all you have is mx trackballs, protoarc, gameball (only for select few countries they deliver to) and various no button shit nobody likes like kensington orbit. So if you want a clickbait article and review a niche thing the most available and functional pick is most likely to get picked for it.

Three of the chink shit I bought say 'Package delivered to seller', should I open disputes or should I let the 80 something days run out?

Any decent wireless (non-bluetooth) KB&M recs?
>>101525586No, from what I understand the things never left China. It's strange because it's half of the total order, the other half is already in my country.
>>101525925I would wait like 2-3 days, maybe a week if you don't need the items in hurry and see if the tracking changed then if nothing happen do a dispute.Did you use the soccer credits on this purchase? Maybe they are trying to chink you out of your credits and if you get a refund, the credit will be expired.
>>101525981They're just bookmarks and sticky notes, nothing lifechanging really. I'll wait a bit more before opening disputes then, thanks!And no, I didn't use such credits, only coins and promo codes.

Can anyone help me to find a extremely simple slim wallet without any bullshit?I literally just carry 2 credit cards and my driver registration (9x6cm). I don't need anything more. I don't need a rape whistle, I don't need RGB, I don't need Bluetooth, I don't need a place to put coins, I don't need RFC, I don't need a place to put money (my currency is so worthless that it became comical to carry money around).Can anyone help me with an alternative? Looking up "slim wallet" on alli express is a waste of time.
>>101525417>>101525925It's simple as the package was returned to seller. I can't say why, it could be variety of reasons like incorrect label, damaged during transit, etc. It's happened to me too. You should get auto refunded quickly when you dispute.
>>101526215Something like this? aliexpress.com/item/1005006967328793.htmlIf that's still too bloated for you then I think the only alternative is a card holder, those things employees use with their ID.

>>101523713Ok there was a use for it after all. I noticed my computer was using unusual high power when it should be idle. Turns out some nvidia mess was pinning a kernel thread at 100%. I wonder how long that's been going on for wasting energy.thanks nvidia drivers

Is there any possible customs issues when shipping these types of lego motors? I see them on Amazon so its obviously possible. However I've tried like 3 different stores and all of them have had some kind of 'logistics' issues according to Aliexpress tracking. I can't find anything about this in the archives.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003922317789.html
>>101523713>Internet of Temperature humidity controlnow that's some chinglish>>101533273Maybe your country has some weird import rules with electric motors (like ones for electric cars) and chang is just playing it safe
A few months ago I bought a replacement LCD screen for my dad's tablet. It's pretty much an original screen, may even come from the same source as the people who made the screen themselves.I check the listing several months later and...wow, okay, other people don't seem to like it as much as I did.Yes, the LCD screen doesn't give true blacks (the original didn't either) and the brightness in this new screen is much higher than the original, but damn I really disagree that the colors are washed out. To check that I wasn't being gaslit, I downloaded a screentest app to see the RGB gamut and yes, it looks just as good as the original when it runs the color test. You just have to turn the contrast+brightness down. I don't know guys. Some Changs are dickheads but this Chang in particular doesn't deserve what he's getting.
>>101533398some people might have received a product completely different than the one you received, chang is known to use whatever is available for the cheapest instead of the "correct" part
>>101533340Forgot to mention, I'm a leaf. And I don't think chang's at fault here - it looks like the packages are sent out, but then returned.
>>101533437Possible, but they should really post pics like I did so I know they're on the level.One thing I should've done is go to the specs page to show that it was an actual 1920x1080 reso screen.
>>101533273Britfag here.Only the things that were greyed out they won't not ship to me.Everything else gave me a delivery estimate.
>>101533471s/not//
>>101533470And honestly, special products like screen replacements and tools >$25 should require photos so people aren't 1-starring the product because they didn't like it or can't get it to work.That's not just for the Chang, but for other people who want to buy it as well
>>101533441That happened to me earlier. 3/5 items refunded, one sent and one returned to warehouse.
>>101533441it clearly says that the problem is in the departure country sourcing center
>>101533543right, but this has happened at 3 different stores where ive ordered the same thing - so I'm assuming the issue is the motor/shipping company, not the stores themselves. I guess customs isn't the word for it.>>101533521I've already got the refunds thankfully, but I would much rather prefer the motors lol. I've ordered a new batch from another set of stores.

>>101533616>>101533679btw, i dont think i have pictures at hand of insides on these generic ones, but if you want i can probably open those up and take a couple (i bet there are plenty online, there should only be a single pin difference between both parts and the only difference between these and the $25 scam ones is the inclusion of a $1 usb hub on one end)i also remember finding about a chip from the same company that does actual usb2 speeds over an actual ip network and it was like $35 for the chip alonehttps://desuarchive.org/g/thread/99121788/#99148173and at those prices you could probably use some sort of microcontroller and nigger rig some /diy/ contraption
This Marcille figure seems a lot better than the Frieren figure I got from aliexpress the other day, but that's because it's not a bootleg. I know it looks darker than the box art but that's just Sega lying, the box and figure look exactly the same as ones I saw in unboxing videos.Anyway it was £10-15 cheaper than everywhere else and actually in stock so I'm very pleased with it.
>>101533781How much was this compared to the Frieren? The paint is much better because it isn't shiny. Honestly the Frieren itself wasn't too bad if they didn't make the hair with so many pieces.
>>101533853I actually forgot how cheap the frieren figure was, Marcille was almost double the price (£20 vs £11 before taxes and coupons)And yeah the only things that annoy me about the Frieren figure is how shiny the paint is and the colour/lack of shading of the hair.
>>1015339225 pounds innit? I don't know if you included tax, but I do remember that it was cheap and it made me look for figures of my own.

Hello there,I am in need for a MicroSD for a small surveillance camera.Max size supported is 512GB, and such a card would be around 40€ on the normal channels.BUUUT looking at Aliexpress there are some even "good" branded cards (sony, lenovo) that are suspiciously cheap, like pic related.Is there any good, or at least proven that is not a scam and get-the-job-done brands? Like, years ago the Mixza Sharks? Thanks

which 8bitdo controller has the easiest to press dpad? The main controllers I'm considering are the pro 2 and the m30. My old dualshock 4 controller has a really mushy d-pad that wears down my thumb when I have to press it a lot.
>>10154019699% of sd cards of AliExpress are fake, the ones that i know for sure aren't fake aren't any cheaper
>>101541639>99% of sd cards of AliExpress are fakeThat's false, just don't buy shit like 999TB for $5 and you'll be good.Of course that's already very hard to understand for normalfags and judging by the posts on every single /csg/ thread for /g/ as well.
>>101530299>>101530334>>101530906 (Me)as a fellow d-pad snob I'll weigh in some moreWebm's a Curse Crackers stage played on Vader 3 Pro, with input display. Obscure game so maybe not the most relatable reference, but it's a fast platformer with 8-way aim and frequent reasons to press down (high jump) and down-diagonal (long jump, slide, Chime ricochet, rapidly alternating down-forward and forward for faster ground movement), so you want a reliable d-pad for it. Webm's representative of my overall experiences; you get what you input, consistently.If I were to be really nitpicky, I'm light on the d-pad and while I almost always roll my thumb between down and left/right, in spots like 0:27 and the later vertical sections I don't press hard enough to register a diagonal (not that I want one there). I don't expect that to be a problem for most people and they're perfectly fine when deliberate about it, but it's something to keep in mind.As far as I'm aware all flydigi controllers with the circle d-pads have the same internals, so Vader 3/4, Apex 4, and to a lesser extent Direwolf 2 are worth considering, but Vader 3 Pro makes the most sense at current prices.I don't think it applies in your case, but if one's dead set on symmetrical stick layouts I'd probably say stick to first party. Chinks haven't made anything with that layout since the 8bitdo pro 2 and I haven't had any good experiences with that brand's d-pads.

Not sure if ublock or waiting it out got it back to normal.As a side note, if I try to collect the aoo daily from my emulator, it'l only give +1
Has anybody gotten silent PC fans off aliexpress? or at least quality ones, got a couple a few years ago and the bearings are fucked already, few drops of machine oil helps for about a week.

>>101540196that's a blatant fakemost sandisk ultras on ali are legit. i think kodaks are too. but you're not saving much compared to buying domestic most of the time other than free shipping or retail markup, especially not after the EU introduced the VAT one stop shop scheme so local taxes apply. where i live the prices are effectively the same, but the chinese sometimes put in goodies like adapters and cheap usb readers.avoid anything with generic packaging like picrel in the reviews even if it's a "real" brand name like sony, lenovo or xiaomi, those three are the most frequent fakes I get recommended, and it's a miracle that ali has not cracked down on that since they generally go hard against fake branding.buy a lexar, sandisk ultra, kioxia or samsung in a local retail store if you can.
>>101547808>but you're not saving much compared to buying domesticnot for everyonefor instance i know that storage from ali is a godsend for the monkes in south america
