Get the ones specifically for food. That way you at least know it's body safe. I went for an enema bag instead. Holds a lot more water and easier to use.

No, I mean don't search up 'enema syringe'. Instead use the search terms 'food safe syringe'.

>>103004649
You'd just use a normal syringe for it, like these, rather than the bulb style meant for enemas?

>>103004813
but....
...Are there any infrared thermometers like this WITHOUT the laser pointer?

The laser pointer creeps me out. It's so powerful, even when reflecting off a normal non-reflective surface, it's so fucking powerful, makes my eyes feel irritated afterwards, even just having it reflect off clothes. I have to switch it the laser off each time I use it. But I feel uncomfortable even having it desu, scared of accidental eye damage.

So are there any without the laser? Or would it be possible to open up the one I have and remove the laser component?
(I don't simply want to block it as I'm scared it will then unpredictably shine out of any hole on the side it can find, even more concentrated and be even more dangerous) :(

this is the one i currently have

>>103005010
chill, those red laser pointers are mostly below 5mw, same ballpark as the Sun in broad daylight, just don't directly look into it like what you would do to the Sun.
It's not like IR laser won't harm you if you can't see it, in fact they are more dangerous because your retina and cornea get cooked without you knowing.

>>103005010
i got one of these as well, the laser can be deactivated, is the left button on the image, so it will probably be the same in the one in your image, as it has the same button

jesus how horrifying

I found this, marketed as purely a baby thermometer, so sensibly it doesnt has a laser. it's probably just calibrated for human skin, probably doesnt have any facility to change it (like the one i have for objects, you can change the thermissvity or whatever t's called to make it more accurate for dfferent materials like metal, glass etc), so it probably won't be as accurate for objects. But i'm sure it's still useful to compare wet to dry items, so I'll think I'll get one, it's super cheap.

Minor haul arrived (picrel, left) (All of these are bundle items):
>Solder iron stand - 1,18€
It's cheaply made, but it gets the job done. My old one had a plastic mounting mechanism which broke off.
>Deburring tool - 5,12€
Metal, feels good to hold, is sharp, works well. Seems fine for 3d prints.
>Clippers - 1,37€
Cheap generic clippers, I had similar ones before but wanted spares. They work.
>Solder Paste/Flux syringe grip - 1,64€
It's lacking some sort of quick adjust, but it works fine - and it's a lot nicer to use than the plungers.
>Organizer Box - 2,56€
Fabric box with internal compartments you can arrange as you want with velcro. I already have one for PSUs, wanted another one for random electronics.
>Hot plate - 10,07€
This thing is a lot nicer than I expected. It's relatively small (57 * 57 * 35 mm), has a plastic housing and metal plate at the top, as well as 2 buttons, a screen and USB-C. The UI is pretty intuitive, similar to IronOS (pinecil, TS100), but you can manually tune the PID values (yes, each of them individually) within it and switch between a "info" mode (picrel right) and "curve" mode (picrel, middle), as well as change max and min temps. It has both a chinese and english UI.
I did a quick test and temps seem decently accurate, at least for the ranges I care about (deviations of under 10C I'd probably not be able to measure on the high end of the temps).
As for downsides I have only noticed 2:
- If you plug it into a USB-C plug that can't support enough power it will simply crash/turn off and then restart, but not tell you why it happened
- At around 180-200 C it started noticably smoking and smelling really bad. I placed it outside for the initial test run and let it smoke off there, but the circuitry doesn't seem harmed and the stench is gone now, so burn it in outside first.
As max-temp is 200-350C and min-temp is 0-200C in settings, it'll be too hot to be a nice cup warmer though, at least until modifications are made.

Last thread (or two or three ago, I lose track of time) I asked about it from someone else talking about it and he said they're pretty much all one of two models. There's a shitty plastic one and a hexagonal metal one, says they do as good of a job as eachother, but the metal one feels sturdier & nicer to hold (as expected) and that you should get one with extra blades (like anon got)

>>103010307
thanks. i have the blue plastic one, bought many moons (less than $2 iirc) ago and it only came with the one blade, its not as sharp now has it used to be so i was wondering if i should just get the metal one as a set with extra blades or just the blades, since the handle/holder/tool is still fine

>>103009697
How is this btw? Is it better than the daicamping dl30 at $40, vs roxon flex for $80?

This is what I have access to at the moment.

>victorinox 91mm compact (tweezers)
>roxon ks2e (tweezers)
>nextool e1 (no pliers nor tweezers)
>victorinox 58mm swiss light (tweezers)

I haven't yet gone out to collect my daicamping dl30, so I can't really comment about it.

The flex is solid, quality, and every edge is nicely finished.
Everything moves smoothly, and nicely clicks into place.
Changing tools around is easy enough once one has played around with it a bit.
It's also the largest and heaviest multitool in my picture.
No complaints with the basic tool load-out.

I don't generally carry it as everything is currently locking.
(I take the handyman instead.)

Having only 2 long slots is brutal.
Ideally I'd have: scissors, blade, diamond file, saw.
(The file that it comes with is nail file tier.)

There is a 1/4-inch bit driver option.
Using it takes up all the short slots on one side.
For general use this does not feel like a worthwhile trade.

soundcore q45 is pretty good. Its probably the cheapest wireless headphones you can get for the quality

>>103009819
Basically >>103010307 got it right. I got the plastic one originally too, because I have a tendency to get the cheapest tool I can first to see if I actually use it, but tried the metal one at a friend's place and liked it. It feels nice, but functionally it's not any better than the plastic one (except the spare blades are a big deal). Did you look just for spare blades? The refills should be buyable without a handle too.

1111 is just two weeks away, yet I don’t see anything about it on Ali.
Wasn’t there always some huge marketing, quite early before that date?
It’s gotten worse every year, but if you lucked out early, you always could get a coupon or two that offsets the (((sale))) price increase and then some.
There’s some things I need (need… yeah, I know) and they’re never on sale, so if the they don’t I cress price too much for 1111, that might be a good deal.
Honestly, given temu’s and SHEINs marketing, I’d have had hopes that AliExpress would counter them with some noteable 1111 event, but so far, I don’t see anything.

>>103011647
>roxon ks2e (tweezers)
>nextool e1 (no pliers nor tweezers)
Those look interesting/unusual. How do you like them?

>>103013617
Personally I wouldn't hold my breath for a big event, they spent a shitton on marketing last year with the UEFA, but I'd expect the usual big coupons on every item where you have to hit like 40/60 total to apply them and they usually alone are enough to make 11.11 worth it.

Good complement of tools.
- cutting: blade, large scissors
- boring: awl w/ eyelet
- sawing: saw
- screws: phillips driver
- other: can/bottle opener, nail file, glass breaker, tweezers

- Everything feels sturdy.
- Can open and close blade one-handed w/ either hand. (thumb-stud + liner lock.)
- Everything locking, except scissors.
- The mechanism for the scissors is sweet. The locking mechanisms are nice to play with.

When I need scissors, I tend to reach for these because of their size.

>nextool e1 (no pliers nor tweezers)
Strange assortment of tools.
- cutting: blade, scalpel holder, scissors
- screws: flat bit holder
- other: package/can opener

- I managed to bend the can opener, which has strongly coloured my impression of this tool.
- Not at premium as the KS2E.
- Can open blade or package/can opener one-handed w/ either hand after practice / break-in period.
- No locking tools.
- Mechanism for scissors, like the KS2E, is nice.
- I like the space efficiency of the flat bit driver.

If I could go with either, I would go for the KS2E.
It has larger scissors, and a longer blade. (Though the Victorinox blade is slightly longer still.)
It is the more premium and the more comprehensive of the two.
But that may not be an option depending on the laws regarding locking vs non-locking in your country.

Jcd8208 seems like an okay heat gun. It's on the weak side for drying a leaky skylight before caulking or drying rubber cement, but it's enough for melting solder paste. I got it for 32 CAD in January, it's 44 now so maybe there will be a sale. It's supposed to be easier/less damaging to the components when used in combination with an adjustable hot plate, but I haven't gotten around to putting the relay/PTC plate/RTD together. The PTC plate is hot enough to melt all the solder by itself.

If they were the same price.
Which would you go for again ?

>>103019815
I think pictured just measures voltage and current.
Which then allows it to calculate power.

The 58 has the ability to probe to find which charging protocols are supported. And at which voltages and currents.
Eg: 12v isn't always supports. And different ports usually support a small set of protocols, and have support a smaller set of voltages and currents.
Eg: If you have a phone that can charge at a certain rate, and a charger that can supply power at that rate, and you want to figure out what is going wrong. (Diagnostics.)

The 58 can also read the details on any e-marker chip in your usb-c cable.

I think the 48 might not be able to probe all the protocols that the 58 can. But not sure on this.

>>103019863
I'm guessing that's just a network dongle but instead of putting the dongle in your computer and use an Ethernet cable you stick it in a nearby switch and use a USB cable?

It could be more convenient to use depending on your setup.
I can see using it in my screen with the benefit of not having a dongle poking from the bottom which might actually hit my desk.

The branded ones of course.
Just checked my emails, I bought them 6 years ago. Been using them in every trip and I do that a lot. The logo faded, but no damage to fabric, zippers or fastenings whatsoever. They also saved my clothes from liquid spills twice through that time.
Those were $45 for a set of three and I got chink ones at $9 for two.

I also don't like how this chink ones have compression zippers. Compressing is just pointless. But that's just a design choice, I have compressing eaglecreeks as well.
Anyway, gonna be using both now, but won't be buying more of the chink ones (as I was hoping to), at least not from this brand, will probably try another later.
They're not really bad, would still recommend if you never bothered with this shit. Most importantly, the main fabric seems identical and they work perfectly fine, but it seems chinks didn't quite master the ultralight fetishism yet.

I had something similar a while ago and I didn't like it.
- the light is shining in a cone meaning it either doesn"t light the while page or it blinds you while reading
- the additional weight and bulk at the top of the book fucks with ergonomics
- I read decently fast and going to the next page is annoying with a clip on it, so you have to clip it in the back half of the book

Honestly just get a decent bedside table lamp instead. The only situation where I can see these things being worth it is when you are camping/limited to battery powered devices and/or when reading while lying next to someone trying to sleep.

Kinda, but it's moreso a social pressure thing.
When I did an exchange in school most of the students knew how to get around it but at the same time all their friends and social media and content they consumed was behind the firewall, so it was more convenient to stay just there. It takes actual effort to leave the firewall, and there's not much of a reward waiting for you once you do.
It's a bit like a stronger language barrier - yeah I could visit the Italian or Russian or Bulgarian internet with a translator, but it takes effort and all the stuff I care about is in the English internet, so why bother.

nta, but while that makes sense if you're a native english speaker, as a non native english speaker I immediately switched to the english side of the internet as soon as I learned english. There's simply many more people, much more and higher quality content, and more topics that you wouldn't find much information on on other sides of the internet.
For the chinese, given their large population and restricted internet, this may be less pronounced. Still there must be some topics that they would be better off looking up on the english side of the internet.

>>103026500
VPNs are needed for work by a lot of people especially if they need to interact with non-Chinese people. Your average ali seller probably uses a VPN when you send them a youtube video of your shit not working for example.
And then there's sanctioned work by the government where they spread misinformation to influence foreign nations on the net and interfering with US elections.

No, ignore the brand days. They will just create different page for given brand every day. Buy when the sale starts.
For the last two years Black Friday had worse coupons than 11.11, but years before that these two sales were same. I believe Mega Choice Day can be ignored, despite chinks haven't posted any further info yet. Wait for 11.11

Is it best to buy shit on 11.11 or wait for black friday? I need to get new phones for my parents.

Aliexpress Russia is a different entity, it's simply not covered there.
Last year discounts were actually better than global ones. It was also basically a simple flat discount on everything instead of coupon shenanigans.

A kingrinder p0 if you want something cheap but still surprisingly decent (or p1/p2 if you can't find it, because p0s sell fucking quick), a kingrinder k6 if you want best value for money, but you don't really need it for french press since that's pretty forgiving to grind quality.
Kingrinder mainly sell through amazon though, you can find them on aliexpress but last time I checked they were charging more, and I don't think those were official stores either.

You're definitely right about that, but as you yourself already said, it's less important because China is fucking massive.
The thing is, the firewall doesn't stop a schizo from finding the truth if they want. You _can_ find all the bad stuff about the Chinese government if you really want by circumventing it, but that's not what it's for, the main goal is that in everyday casual browsing, the average Chinese normie doesn't stumble upon uncomfortable truths. As long as the normies don't get confronted with these dissenting opinions, those who have them are just a schizoid minority and thus powerless to be a risk to the CCP.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with your experience, I'm German and the second I could I ditched the German internet for the anglosphere as well. It's just not the same in China (or was when I did the exchange like a decade ago).

>>103029018
There's a lot of them, but you pretty much only find knockoffs on Ali.
The original one was a hat with "fish fear me, women want me" on it, and it was sincere.
Then came a "fish want me, women fear me" ironic one and from there it became more and more strange like
"The feelings of women and fish about me are too complex to accurately summarize on this hat" until the magnum opus, the kommandostore big fish hat: https://kommandostore.com/products/the-big-fish-hat
There's memes with even longer and arguably funnier text, but afaik kommandostore are the only ones making the ridiculous hat for real.

Think of a ESP32 like a Arduino, it's a microcontroller, so it can do microcontroller things. These boards anon is linking have built in WiFi antennas and can host simple http Webservers for IoT functionality, but really sky is the limit as long as it doesn't need much processing power.
A cool project at a tech convention a few years ago was a sort of "wifi sniffer" consisting of like 20 of these all listening to WiFi traffic on different frequency bands and recording it all to visualize it later so you could see the wifi use in the convention visually.
More realistic uses I personally had for these were a wifi doorbell for my parents and a wifi activated coffee grinder that checks if I am on my home network via WiFi and if I am it makes freshly ground coffee at a specific time when I wake up.

Are USB-powered AA/AAA battery chargers dangerous?

I recall a video on one of those USB charger teardown channels (maybe Big Clive) where it was mentioned in the same breath as dangerous dodgy cheap USB phone chargers. The implication was these can be just as cheap and dangerous, the circuitry in them can be just as shoddy and cost-cutting.

Is it true? I bought one last year from Ali. I've only used it a couple of times, but I'll throw it out today if you think I should.

I'm too lazy to give you a full rundown so I'll just give you this https://lygte-info.dk/info/roundCellChargerIndex%20UK.html

My guess is that a cheap n100 would be up to the task.
The jank would be figuring how you might want to attach any disks / additional storage.

>>103035938
I did something similar and started with a chinkshit N100 minipc. It worked fine enough for some light server stuff but for a similar price on ebay I got an sff optiplex with an i3-10100 which is significantly better

>>103033240
link?

>>103035938
It'll depend on a lot of things, like how much you are willing to invest for upgradeability and low power consumption, as well as the workload and requires form factor.
Personally I went the used route, probably cost like 20€ more than a comparable mini PC, but I could add additional storage later and it wasn't an issue, so that was nice.
Media server means you don't want the absolute lowest processing power because you might want to stream it to multiple devices or - even worse - transcode your media for different devices.
I got myself the cheapest Intel CPU+motherboard combo I could find that had a low tdp, but could do video transcoding. The low tdp means I don't even need an active cooler, a passive cooler works just fine, so the only sounds it makes is from the PSU fan, which is borderline silent. The only thing you do hear are the hard drives, but it's in another room for me so I don't care.
If however you have less space and the server is supposed to live in a bedroom on a shelf or something, a mini PC or used optiplex might be better for that.
