>>106474179Anon, you should get one of these desk hooks for your 770's. I rest my 990's on it and it does the job. Cheap and non-permanent.https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006975903156.htmlI also now realized I kinda fucked up by trimming the padding since it's also meant to go on the edge that goes to the desk. Oh well.
>>106503677Thanks for the suggestion, but I do have a headphone hook, I just didn't use it for that quick picture.See picrel, I 3D printed a holder on the skadis board on the wall where it rests when I'm not using the pc.
Haul arrived.>1m long fish plushy (7.19€)It is actually 1m long, but rather thin. Still pretty insane for 7€. It looks funny enough and goes well with my silica gel and battery pillows. It's nice overall.>Xiaomi Sound Pocket (15€)I was the anon that posted the review a while back, loved it so much I got another as a gift for a relative that doesn't have a bluetooth speaker. It's great.>Analog dial calipers (14€)These are great. Seem accurate enough for my uses (I can't tell if it's actually 0.02mm, but it's close enough for my use). Mini review of those following, I like them a lot.>Ant nest (2.29€)That's right baby, the antism is back. I got another ant nest to use as temporary nest until the colony size is big enough to move into the bigger ones without too much stress. It's solid as a starter nest, comes with outworld, water tower, and a feeding area. Nice value.>Polish anon's psyops tweezers (2.81€)I hate to admit it, but these are pretty solid. Nice case too. The tweezers themselves feel relatively average, but they are very sturdy and don't deform easily, which gives me hope that they have a lot of longevity. A quick try on some smd parts showed picking them up is easy enough. Worth the money for sure compared to those ultra thin shitty ones you see in bundles a lot.>Alligator clips (1.43€/10pcs)>Multimeter probes (1.44€)>Nutmilk bag (1.30€)Not much to say about all 3 of these, I needed them, they do what they say, I'm happy.>8 piece coaster set (4.05€)Very happy with these. They are nicely sized, look nice, the wire holder feels sturdy and overall they just feel like great value. Somewhat thick of course, but I don't mind that. Would recommend.
>>106503979Regarding the analog calipers, picrel is them compared to my digital ones I used before. As you can see we're really close here, within 0.06mm of disagreement for a given measurement, and I'm sure 0.02 or so of that is because I'm not pressing them against each other properly. The analog calipers are very repeatable and come with both a screw to fix them at a given measurement (the one on top) and a screw to re-zero them (at the bottom). Compared to the digital ones, they are a bit harder to move, as in take more force, because you have to move the mechanism inside too. This also has the downside of them being a bit stiffer in the position they are in though, so while with the digital calipers I'd sometimes get annoyed because after measuring if I moved the calipers away from the object to read the screen I was unsure if it had moved, I doubt this will happen with the analog ones. The depth feeler is also a bit sturdier than the one on the digital calipers. In the end, the big question will be corrosion, but they feel really nice to use, the fact that they have no battery is great and they were reasonably priced overall. Would definitely recommend, probably my highlight of this haul.
>>106504051>This also has the downside of them being a bit stifferI meant upside, not downside. The downside is them being a bit harder to move into position, upside is them staying in position once they are there.
>>106503979>Polish anon's psyops tweezersIf only Mechanic paid me for shilling them...Meanwhile Big Jeff has fucked up the delivery so I'll be getting my Xiaomi speaker on Monday when I should've gotten it yesterday. Oh well. Hopefully, it will have been worth the wait.
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009205122159.htmlShould I?
>>106504087I love Mechanic's solder
>>106504227What's the usecase?For hiking it's probably good, titanium items for hiking are great in general, though then I wonder why you'd want double walled. For hot drinks like tea 175 ml feels a little small and cold alcoholic drinks won't be cold once you've hiked there, so the advantage of double walled seems lost at that point.I'd just get those normal single walled titanium mugs with foldable grip and a little larger (mine is 420ml) those are far more versatile. If you just want it for at home alcoholic drinks and like the vibes, sure go for it. Titanium items are usually a pretty good buy from ali.
>>106503372You can sometimes find it at Carrefour or those little shops that sell snacks from all over the world. Also, Tesco Poland isn't gone. I would know, I work there. We just don't sell anything anymore here to people. >>106503881Just copied from an app. Where do I collect my millions from all the purchases?
>>106503979Link for coasters?
>>106504288Thanks anon, I just to them to replace my ceramic tea cups at home, my kid keep breaking them lol
>>106504335Better get those painted steel ones. They're cool.
>>106503979The fish epidemic continues...
>>106504335That's actually a fairly good usecase then, the weight savings don't matter to you, the small volume doesn't either, but the material being sturdy helps. Usually I'd say stainless is better in that case, but at that price either is fine. Should be fine, but keep in mind that "double walled" does not mean it won't get hot, even though titanium is a notoriously shit heat conductor. Might still be a bit hot for comfort for your kids compared to something with a handle.>>106504333https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008950818952.htmlI got them as part of bundles, but when clicking that link they seem to be even cheaper (2.80€) as part of super deals right now (but you need 10€ to get free shipping).>>106504369Fish want me.Women fear me.Wish I didn't have such a bigass noggin' that most hats don't fit me, or I'd buy picrel or the infamous kommandostore hat.
>>106504227Titanium cups, fuck yeah. Using this one for tea on hikes, not insulated, but it doesn't really matter to me. It's nice.
>>106504465We /cupposting/ today?Fair enough.Do yourself a favor and get yourself a lid too if yours doesn't already have one. Cuts down on the spent fuel to heat your water. Some even come with built-in holes to filter out tea leaves and such.
>>106504536>lidI would, but I'm very casual hiker: only day hikes in national parks. I just bring an insulated bottle with tea, and don't burn fires of any kind. So the lid is not exactly useful to me. I just like titanium, fucking great metal.
>>106504684Fair enough, if you go on multi day hikes it's nice because you can save on fuel if you're using a stove rather than a wood fire, but for a dayhike it truly doesn't matter.
With all the talk about titanium, I kinda want this one https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005878084076.html but my current razor is already perfect for my skin and buying just for the sake of buying is just too much
>>106504319>Also, Tesco Poland isn't gone. I would know, I work there. We just don't sell anything anymore here to people.what the fuck does that even mean
>>106504710>146€ for an item that won't perform any better than a stainless steel one you can get for sub 10€Yeah, stay away kek.
>>106504747>stainless steel one you can get for sub 10€huh? where do you get those? cheap razors are mostly zamak, all stainless steel cnc razors are pretty pricey
>>106503708This is giving me VRChat vibes.
>>106504821I have no idea what that means. Is that good? Is that bad? All I know about VRChat is that people use it to e-sext with people (=children) online and that one webm of a vet as a piglet avatar talking about his deployment.I do have VR (that thick cable that's hung from the ceiling), but VRChat never tempted me for some reason.
>>106504770>ZamakThat's probably what they are then, even if they are labeled stainless. Would make sense as good grade stainless is somewhat expensive.Still functions the same though, I have one of those cheap qshave adjustable ones, no corrosion after many years, works like it did on day 1.
>>106504051very nice, anonI got my Shahe caliper last week. I like it. If it ever breaks or whatever I'll get the analog one. So I don't have to feel nervous while using like I might accidentally damage something expensive.I fucked up in the same order buying the wrong size screws by a few mm. Wouldn't have happened if I had calipers before. Should have gotten this type of tool a long time ago.
>>106504721
>>106504869Glad to hear, I'm sure the shahe calipers are great too.>I fucked up in the same order buying the wrong size screws by a few mmBit of a longshot, but if you have a 3D printer, print yourself one of picrel (that's makerworld, but thingiverse has them too). Very convenient to sort your bolts or screws after a project into their proper place again.
>>106504863Yeah zamak razors are cheap because it made by casting while brass, stainless steel and titanium are using cnc machine especially stainless and titanium will wear the machine much much faster than brass, took much more time to cnc than brass, cnc machines are often lease by hours so the prices of cnc stainless steel or titanium reflects that
>>106503592I have been browsing this general for only one day now and I gotta be honest, this is the best thread on /g/. Anons getting scammed, anons with chink buttplugs catching fire, homeless anons who buy stuff for 0$. This is great.
>>106504721Basically, tesco poland took a corporate stance on their approach for the country and joined the #1 driver of polish GDP, loansharking and carjacking.
>>106505144Glad to hear. We're here for it all, the highs and the lows.
>>106505176And now Poland is set to overtake the UK in GDP. Then again, it's not like the UK is going forward so it's not a fair race so to speak.
>>106505233That's a bit like lapping the disabled kid on sports day in school. No honor in that.
>>106503624I did go to the chat but it brought me to one of those bot chat pages and as soon as I mentioned the issue, it just brought up the dispute window.Hopefully it doesn't affect anything in the future i mean shit it was only $2 I could have done without the refund just fine
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007562663363.htmlI bought one of these wooden cookie cuttersI haven't actually used it but it's arrived and I'm surprised at how sturdy and weighty it is. It feels well made. I don't know what I expected but I am surprised
>>106505144>>106505197the real chinese shit is the friends we made along the way....
>>106505759social credit score is just a joke, don't get scammed and take it just because you think it'll somehow hurt you down the line.if it does exist they'll just make you send the item back to them instead of giving you an instant full refund, and they already do that for items above like $10.the last time i got the wrong item they just made me take a picture of it after "destroying" it.
>>106504465>>106504536I used to have a metal cup from the chinks and I started drinking water from it, until I realized that it actually makes it taste like metal. Then I remembered that peasants and alike used to die from lead poisoning because of the cups they used. So I figured, can I be sure that a chinese mug is actually made out of materials that won't kill me? Absolutely not, so I trashed it
>>106505985You are entitled to your own opinion, but the one you bought locally instead comes from the exact same production line in the end.

>>106505997same production line, except the company that bought that from the same company is responsible for it when they fuck up and poison a hundred thousand people. they have a monetary reason to apply QC and check if the chinks didn't switch the metal formula to save 2 cents.you aren't going to get your lawyers in contact with TRADER122112312904821 but walmart sure as hell is going to have to respond to you.
>>106506188We regularly get anons with your viewpoint in here on a visit I presume.You're free to have that view, it's a free country. In my opinion it leads you to overpay for a misplaced sense of patriotism, but by all means, get your stuff from walmart instead. Though then this isn't the thread for you frankly.
what's the best best mouse that you can get for under 50 bucks on Ali?
>>106506681I don’t know about the best but I do know that you should have a lot of options at that price point. Just don’t get really high polling rate mice because they simply don’t have good implementations. As a matter of fact, they don’t have good implementations in general, even for non-chink products, but the ones on aliexpress are probably even worse. I blame Interrupt driven IO
>>106506681The coolermaster mm720 is my favorite cheap mouse, but I think they've discontinued it so it might be harder to find. Also not sold on ali.
>>106506777a spider could live in one of these
>>106506866There's a transparent underlayer to those holes, it can't get in other than through openings that every mouse has
>>106506876>it can't get in so then what's the fucking point
>>106506890Less plastic = less weight. Same reason you may find honeycomb patterns on some bottle caps nowadays.
>>106506890I dunno, weight or something. It is a very light mouse.
>>106500396This isn't the exact one I bought but very similar. Bear in mind my use was circa 2020.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808453114738.html?

Are cheap mouse skates likely to be bad? I scuffed the ones on my deathadder while opening it to clean/lube the switches and scrollwheel. They start at $2 on ali.>>106506717USB doesn't send interrupts though, wdym?>>106506978afaik most mice with holes don't have any real protection, i've seen Glorious mice get really gross

>>106506387no, i regularly buy chinkshit but i never buy stuff that's related to anything that goes into my body.for something simple like a thermos cup i'd easily pay an extra dollar to make sure that the people selling it will get fucked if they try anything.i don't even know how you came to the conclusion that this was some form of patriatism.
I am obligated to inform that the Judy daki has Landed. It's absolutely massive and shockingly high quality, Mikora Anime Store can be trusted. Fortuitously some retractable chargers and a hat came in at the same time, also high quality.
>>106507175Glad to hear from you again, drunk-anon sama. I suppose your drunken mind didn't make as much of a mistake as originally thought (beyond... the obvious).That paw looks a bit AI generated to me, but even if it is, who cares. Now godspeed and though you may leave your humanity behind, remember that you can always come back from the brink of the abyss.
>>106507199oh I'm sure it's the sloppiest of ai, I'm just surprised at the sharpness of the print quality and material, pics not doing justice at all. Gotta hand it to the seller. Humanity is pretty fucking cringe but I'll consider it after ruining this thing
>>106507175If it a full daki, pillow and cover, or just the cover? Also what price?
>>106507221>Humanity is pretty fucking cringeIt all depends on if you are using your free will, most people are not. Life's pretty great once you realize you can just... do things. Without justification. Want to go out at night and eat soup from a thermos on a bench in the park while listening to jams on headphones? You can just do that. Buy a 6 pack of beer and hand the bottles to strangers without explanation. Pay for a strangers groceries. Build a machine that has no purpose. Make a song that sucks. But something tells me a man who buys a fullsize pillow of a sexualized version of a rabbit from a kid's movie for getting their rocks off won't have issue with the free will part.

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

>>106507497I used to be like that a lot, still just do random things all the time, but it's unhealthy so I toned it back. We need structure. It's healthier to have a routine, to sleep and wake up at set times.Last week I just went walking with my son after a visit to the doctor with nothing in mind and we discovered a nice place with a hidden garden and a kids corner. I don't know why but walking makes communication easier too. I take him to school through different routes to make it interesting. Sometimes I skip the gym and just walk alone for an hour or two discovering places all over the city, listening to music.But doing stuff at night or after midnight, no more for me. I used to lose sleep all the time doing errands for my restless insomniac brain and it would spiral into desyncing with a healthy routine, apathy, depression.
>>106507754The fact that your CPU is requesting updates from the mouse 8000 times/second... The USB bus doesn't interrupt the CPU to get higher priority. That's why it's called a polling rate. PS/2 mice and keyboards do send interrupts, making their latency lower than optical mice in almost every case.
>>106507728Doing god's work anon
>>106507912Just because the USB controller is acting as a middleman for the mouse interrupts, it doesn’t change the fact that USB mice are also interrupt driven IO devices. You are right about the latency however, but this one is a given because the CPU doesn’t have to wait for shit when dealing with PS2.
