I'm having a hard time finding a 4 input amp.I want one input for my desktop, one for my tv, one for laptops/phones and one for my dj controller.Any recommendations, or ideas how I can find one?
Anyone know if you can get some cheap plant pots from ali? Preferably large and deep
>>106685395That sounds like one of the worst things to buy from Ali if you ask me.Not only are they heavy and bulky (shipment cost), they're also fragile.Unless you're talking about plastic ones and not actual vases.
>>106685395>Anyone know if you can get some cheap plant pots from ali?Yeah, there's some decently priced sub irrigated planters too.>Preferably large and deepProbably not, shipping will fuck you if they are large. You probably will have better mileage going to a dollar store or something like that. Or getting some from a hardware store or garden store when on clearance. If you want them for outside and don't mind the aesthetic, I built a bunch of SIPs on my balcony from hardware store buckets. Have served me well for 3 years so far and my plants have never been happier. It doesn't look as nice as terracotta of course.
the card flip game in tree watering has disappeared and i couldn't do my final 20 waters/1000ml final goali hate that they'd gamified this and it's my one weakness. those chinks are so fucken smart!
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009280344293.htmlThe Chinese know no limits.
>>106686251The chinese are the ultimate ancaps, if there's a buyer, they will make it, no questions asked. Gotta love them for it.
>>106685195 >Another soldering haul review, including a desoldering pump clone of the engineer SS-03, which is shaping up to be the next meme at this rateThese pumps have already been shilled in these threads I'm pretty sure, I bought mine earlier this year for my model train club and it's night and day compared to the traditional plastic ones
Everyone in Shenzen has drowned. The era of chinkshit is over.
>>106686314They have been and now they even have a csg-guide entry: https://csg-guide.neocities.org/#desoldering-pumpss-03-clone-4-5
Fucking garbage website
>>106686353Ah so that's why this thing popped up on some of my orders.
>>106686376>>106686353Praying for them. May Charon guide them to the light.
>>106686314>>106686368some of us were shilling the ones with the heater included. those make reaally a differencebut are complementary
>>106686406Like ones where the pump part is still a clone of the ss03? I think I've mostly seen the generic ones that are heated, which I'm dubious about because I utterly despise those ultra cheap desoldering pumps., but if it's the ss03s with a heating element it might be nice.
>>106686441i have this one, and i have shilled a lot of timeshavent seen any that is a clone of the ss03they are way better than the generic ones, even if they look similar. they also cost way more
>>106686466yeah I'd have called that a generic one, interesting if you're saying they are much better. >they also cost way moreHow much more are we talking? I found some for ~8$, but those are probably ass then.There's electric ones that also do the sucking for ~25$, but they look horrible to hold and very short lived. At ~110-120$ you can get a proper desoldering gun.From your experience how much of a difference does it make? Compared to, say, traditional pump and soldering iron, or even pump and hot air station. I don't particularly enjoy desoldering, but it's also not bad enough to justify the 120$ option for the proper tool, so these may or may not be a stopgap if they're worth the difference.
Lads, I don't think this is an official Konami product...
>>106686376>>106686353oh my god, that's horrible.....so is it insensitive to DM them and ask if they're ok and if they're able to ship or should i hold off on it....
>>106686466>>106686545Also forgot to ask how accurate they are/what heat they get to, wouldn't want to fry the components with an ungrounded or overly hot iron after all.
>>106686545that one is a brandname, a yihua onewas 10 bucks? i think it was heavily discounted back then, but i dont remember honestlyis not grounded, which is a shame, but that is easy to fix
>>106686368You're awesome dude
>>10668664210$ would be very fair, but alas, this is one of the cheaper listings I'm seeing. At that price point a bit harder to justify honestly.
can you buy fireworks from stinky chinkys?
>>106686655Thanks for appreciating the effort anon.
Geboon TC22 arrived.It's just as great as I had hoped. Comes packaged well, feels ultra premium, nice rubber feet, metal housing all around, good size LCD screen. Has an electrical sleep pin and a port for a grounding wire at the back, both of which are very appreciated. Supports C245/C210/C115 and apparently even T12 tips.Plenty of settings, sane UI, plenty of power, I'm happy. The stand is also a nice metal holder that's super sturdy, also has rubber feet, and the sponge holder is a separate silicone piece you can remove for easy cleaning. Tolerances on the holder are also great. The only thing that could be better I suppose is the compartment that holds the steel wool, it's functional, but getting the wool out could be better.Got a bit sweaty as I tried to set the language to english from chinese as I forgot to check with the listing that english was an option, but google lens made it manageable and the english translation/language was available and seems great.Overall I'm very happy with this thing, and for 61€ (what I paid) it's great value. I finally feel like I've achieved soldering iron endgame.
>>106686839We are gathered here today to mourn the making obsolete of my trusty TS100.One of my first /csg/ items which I got like 8 years ago (I can't quite remember), with a grip that's 30% glue at this point and in a box I 3D printed on my old Ender3 V1 rev1 that I sold a while ago too. I'm not going to throw it away because it's still convenient for more mobile use and because I couldn't bring myself to do it, but I'm glad my old friend can finally rest.
>>106685290Four inputs? That's getting into receiver territory. Have you considered a simple audio switch?
>>106685395I dunno, man, they're really cheap at hardware stores already. Just done repotting my avocado, and I paid next to nothing for a solid green pot. Doubt you'll gain much by ordering it from chinks.
>>106686656just checked and yeah was 9.99 but discounted from 20and i get it it doesnt seem worth 33€
anyone bought any masturbators from them?anything good and easy to clean?
>>106686671If you want to get raped by customs, sure
>>106687161I put a few of them on the wishlist, if they drop to 15 or even 10€ I might get one, thanks anon.
Cycle salami tubes arrived, valve cores are removable and it seems to hold 120 psi well.so far
>>106687867Be careful anon, you don't want those 8 bar to pop right into your face.
isn't TPU a fucking terrible material to make tire tubes out of?i've ripped apart sex toys made of it with my penis, can't imagine they handle the road very well.
>>106688323no need to brag prickle dick
any suggestions for some kind of wrapping, grip tape, or whatever to cover an outdoor pull up bar?the raw steel bar hurts my hands before i can hang onto it long enough to hit my max reps so it's kind of holding me back.should be UV resistant if possible since it's in direct sunlight.
>>106688721This anon >>106665800 has got you covered (probably)
>>106687867I had these.word of advice, they bloom into any empty space and get a rip if you don't seat them well or your rims have large gaps inside without tape or tape is too soft. I had bursts from microbalooning near the valve.went back to butyl. they're a lot easier to patch though.
I just received two Deathadder Essentials I ordered on Ali. They're fucking dogshit. One of them had an assembly mistake which made the right click not work properly. I had to take it apart, but didn't realize there was a hidden screw, so now it's broken and I'll have to superglue it shut.The second one looks like it might have taken a fall on the assembly line and there's a rattling sound of something loose inside. https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008047387383.html
>>106688721Actual tape anon from a previous thread here. Lucky for you I'm not only into tape, but also bikes and a bit of tennis. So I can recommend getting a cycling bar tape or tennis overgrip. Just beware that pure EVA tapes -- and a lot of cheap tapes are EVA -- will soak water very well, but they also dry very fast. So I would recommend getting a silicone or polyurethane or coated one. Heard also heard that hockey tape was used for that, but haven't tried that myself.
>>106689222>Razer>DogshitNo way.
Bought some junk>usb-c IR transmitteronly works with some shitty app called ZazaRemote which is absolute chinese spyware. otherwise works fine> silicone earplugsbought them for a concert I went to a few weeks ago. worked well, buy the larger size when you're given a choice, the small ones didn't do a lot and I had to switch to foam plugs. The larger ones were far better and let me hear the music without being deafened> magnetic rings fidget toybought these for work since the usual cubes make too much noise. would recommend, not my favorite out of all my fidget toys but they're nice> multi usb C to other type convertersthese work. case is cheap, but it was $2. i'd recommend it I guess, especially if you still have some stuff using micro-USB. can't tell you how much charging efficiency you lose> Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Magnetic Stand love it. Bought it so I can take notes at work without using a shitty as touch screen keyboard on my phone. folds lengthwise so it's much thinner than the usual folding keyboards. Keys feel nice, if a little squashed. Worst part is honestly the micro-usb charge port.> cable bagbuy the bigger/2 layer version. Very useful, cleaned out 2 milk crates across the 2 I bought.> propeller capbest/worst thing ive bought on this platform, my SO wont let me go outside in it>bootleg ridge walletive stopped sitting on my wallet since my doc says my back is fucked. feels better using this, quality is great for $4. Seems like a cheap plate with acryllic over it on both sides, held in place by 3 bands. Money clip seems secure, not worried about it so far. very small
>>106689358In my head you're like a mummy except rather than cotton rags you're covered in various forms of chink duct tape and grip tapes.
>>106689473>which is absolute chinese spyware>otherwise works finekek>my SO wont let me go outside in itThey're not based man that's unfortunate. You're funny anon I liked your post.
>>106689485Yeah, that's pretty close.
>>106689539Godspeed.
>>106685195>Anon is finally freeI'm already grinding the next round.
>>106685195> >>106676553 (Old thread) (You) - Anon underestimated chinese clothing size differences and pays the price (they usually have size charts in the description, please read them)I did look to be fair, some of it didn't have good sizes, like L on the Y2k shirt says EU size 40/42 so it sould be bit loose on me, but I could barely stretch it over myself and even sleeves were too tight, girls in reviews https://a.aliexpress.com/_EH2FtbC all have S and they don't look that small, not sure what's up.and one I think was my mistake (ironically the male undershirt), I picked the smallest M cause they didn't have any size tables, I probably used a table from other listing but should have known better. I just have experience buying synthetic Ali shirts for cycling that were XL and it was too big, even though I was also using the table. but I was mostly banking on these things being more stretchy, and while the fetishy net shirt (girl one) stretches a lot, the male one is stiff and would probably chafe.and the holey stockings https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvQVI10 were one size but are in fact were so small for me I couldnt even get my thigh through the waist hole (im not so thick that my one thigh is bigger than some chinese girls hips), even though reviews looked alright.picrel also looks fine on reviews, but I could also barely stretch it over my leg, my legs are not that big, like my thighs are 60cm around, and that's not huge right? also without going into too much detail, but the other item got me shaking. wholeheartedly recommend the concept of it, but from a (maybe non chinese) quality store for good material.
Any decent chess clocks to be bought on Ali?
>>106688910my rims might as well be tubeless sealed so I think ill be ok...maybe.But thanks for the advice
>>106686251https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008263658808.htmlAnything to make a profit
>>106686251>>106690391>why are you still using aliexpress bro, just use temu it's fasterFind me gems like this on Temu kek
>>106686251fucking kekissimo
>>106689943Fair enough if you did read the descriptions and they just sucked, I tend to skip any listing that doesn't have a detailed sizing table including measurements in cms; that seems to work out well for me.>but I was mostly banking on these things being more stretchy>also without going into too much detail, but the other item got me shakingTurns out in the end it was you who was stretchy.I had a short heart attack because I forgot you were the rocket buyer, and went my imagination was desperately trying to figure out how stainless steel balls would get you shaking, I was imaging a return of sounding anon or some shit.>wholeheartedly recommend the concept of it, but from a (maybe non chinese) quality store for good material.I'm good, but thanks kek. Not my fetish. But I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourself I suppose.
>>106686251I got that recc'd to me too
>>106689222i don't know if you know but these are knockoffsthe random number seller is a dead giveaway
>>106689943At 165cm I'm a Chinese XL/western M and even then they are not exactly equal. They may be equivalent in length but the width of the Chinese XL can range from 80% to 95% of the western M size. So for jackets and pants the fit around the waist will be tighter and the pant legs may be smaller.
>bots in games like in gogo match and tree watering duelsyou can tell by their avatars/display pics. if it's a cartoon but not an anime or the pic is a female instagram style selfie then it's a bot.real profiles can be seen in global events like the mystery box with pics of dudes, random objects or a single letter because they used google to sign in
Nice to meet you too, darling.
>>106692624Of course I know that. I chose that store because it had 5000+ sold on that item. Now that I look closer I see there are a handful of other pages for the Deathadder with more sales, including one without a store, selling for about twice the price. I must have chosen the cheapest option assuming all knockoffs are the same...
>>106693814Should have bought a chink brand instead
>>106693814essentially when you buy a knockoff you're pretty much paying for the outside shape. the most basic razer knockoffs can't sync to razer synapse nor does it have the clickiness or durability or the feel of the scroll wheel, and they don't bother to copy how the wire is braided which is one big selling point of their mice
>>106693892Care to recommend something in particular?
>>106693892>>106693814Really. What's the point of getting a knock-off Razer, not known for their quality to begin with; instead of genuine chink brand for the same price?
>>106693928Because that's the cheap mouse that I've seen being recommended around here. If there are so many good Chink mice around, why don't you recommend one?
>>106686916Rip, time to use it for shitposting.
>>106686251I wonder if any of the people involved in producing this actually understand why it's funny, or if they just see it roll off the conveyor belt and think "史莱克实际上没有胡子,对吧?"
>>106693924rapoo has gotten popular. i've used their very early usb+wireless mice years ago when they sold for $2usd on ebay and now they have a mid-budget line from the $30-60 range. that's so cool to seeanother brand i've used is zerodate, they've been taken off aliexpress for some reasonfor extreme entry budget there's HXSJ starting at $3i don't play games anymore so other anons can help you better
>>106693936Never once seen a Razer ripoff being recommended here.I myself am using VXE R1, not a competitive gamer so it covers all my needs. But from people who actually use mice to the fullest I've got two things:1. Picrel (slightly outdated, but still relevant)2. https://old.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1lkong1/best_aliexpress_mouses_2025_20inb4 reddit: they're professional consoomers down there, and keep a decent track of it.
>>106693924As far as i know the dragonfly vxe is the most shilled cheap chink mouse and some attack sharks. Personally i bought a incot g something for meme hotswappable switches.Think the build quality is mostly decent for all major chink brands just search for gaming mouse, main thing would be the form of the mouse theres some site that has them all so you can compare to a razor if you want
>>106693965>not a competitive gamerA mouse making you better is probably the greatest meme of all time
>>106693974while having a better mouse that you are more comfortable with doesnt make you a pro out of nowhere it certainly does help with your clicks and aiming or whatnotespecially a nice wireless and somewhat lightweight mouse with a good sensor are must haves that i could not do without anymore after trying them (for games at least)
Cheap SD cards from Aliexpress are ticking time bombs if you care about your data, they use the cheapest parts which degrade and fail after very light use, never again.
>>106694013>water is wetWe know
>>106694013bought a 256gb kodak for $9 earlier. hopefully it lasts forever
>>106693989They all use the same sensor, mice have peaked
>>106694066i never said they dont all use the same (or a good) sensor
>>106694013Oh man, I still remember when Shark Cards (the memory kind, not the GTAO one) were all the rage here. Fuckers barely lived for two months in my RPi.
>>106694222you gotta admit those are some cool sharks tho
>>106693974Mouse autism is on a whole different level. They left keebtards waaay behind, and now approaching audiophile retardation at Mach 3. Picrel is not an IED, but a 8.39g DIY carbon mouse.
>>106694241That was probably the main reason they became so popular. Decent price, yes, but sharks first.
>>106694246>>106693989I remember when mice came with extra weights, both my Logitech mx518 and G502 have weight compartments still.That entire "mouse the weight of a feather" thing feels so strange to me, I associate ultralight with cheap and mostly empty. And don't even get me started on the cheese grater designs that fill up with random gunk.
>>106694297I thought the holes were actually clear plastic
>>106694297When something is a solved problem, ((they)) always start to push light == good idea to sell more. See bikes, especially this story https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=141018Can't help but laugh every time I remember it, especially the ending.
>>106694308Are they? That makes the whole thing at least less retarded, none of the two mice mentioned (mx518 and G502) ever broke, so together with one of those Microsoft mice with a sensor ball before we had optical sensors they are the only mice I've ever used. I just assumed it was to save weight, if they add clear plastic on top I doubt much weight will be saved, but at least that removes the gunk issue.
>>106694308>>106694327No, they're actually holes. And they do collect gamer gunk.
>>106694323>Here is the S-Works handlebar with all the clear coat and ugly decals sanded off. I saved 12 grams.Got me to chuckle, nice link anon kek.
>>106694297my friend had one when we still played quake 3 and wolfenstein enemy territoryi guess the DPIs were lower back then so heavier mice were more steady and gave more control the heavier it was and they wouldn't wandercompletely the opposite now with the super high zoomer sensitivities in fast action games
>>106691248kekno the steelnballs are just for repairing the IGH in my bike.sounding seems pretty dangerous ...but intriguing, kek.>not my fetishnot sure its a fetish, just feels good. I guess the bulb part does give you more when you have a thing for wolf guys.also its always kinda a paint to buy close fitting clothes even in person, sizes can vary in stores too.>>106692657damn how small do Chinese get, exactly? I'm jealous.
>>106694337See picrel>>106694364>my friend had one when we still played quake 3 and wolfenstein enemy territoryI like the theory, but isn't quake an insanely fast paced multiplayer shooter if the players know the movement?Either way I remember that those were the days of instagib custom servers, I certainly played hours of those on cube and urban terror, and that was no less fast paced than modern games.I think it was probably moreso a mix of having no choice and it being a fashion thing ultimately where people buy a specific type because they read online it's the good type and then use it to impress other people who then do the same. Basically fashion for geeks.
>>106694434>but intriguingDo not. That's the kind of shit that gets stuck in there and then you have to make up bad excuses at the ER. A relative of mine is a doctor and they regularly get those. A common one seems to be "falling onto a dumbbell backwards" kek.Get something you can safely remove if you must.>give you more when you have a thing for wolf guysThat's the fetish part. Furries and/or zoophiles. I doubt it's a purely mechanical enjoyment for most buyers, those products are molded a very specific way for a reason.In my book noone is being harmed, so godspeed to all the degens out there.
>>106694444there's like this flick thing you do when you do on those launch pads to jump higher and there are times you need to do a full 180 degree spin within a fraction of a second to spot an enemy. this was one of the most extreme cases of needing high sensitivity but we got around it by just moving our entire arms.these days the zoomers just do a slight wrist flick and it spins like 5 screens-worth
>>106694434gweilo are built fatter and stockier. high fructose corn syrup, full cream dairy milk, 8 servings of grain a day according to that outdated food pyramid
>>106694514>but we got around it by just moving our entire arms.That must have been a regional thing, I feel like all of the people in my circles were on very high sens, that were the times where it was a sign of streetcred to have your keyboard at a 45-60 degree angle to save horizontal table space, because it showed you were on lan parties often enough to pick up the habit. Same logic for high sens, we used those small mousepads that you got as marketing gifts. >these days the zoomers just do a slight wrist flick and it spins like 5 screens-worthYeah I've seen gameplay of fortnite where the kids jump around each other with shotguns and do like multiple 720 degree turns a second, so maybe you're right.I feel older now.
>>106694614i've heard of the angled keyboard thing and higher sensitivity. we honestly weren't very good so we didn't do tryhard metaslave stuff like thateven now i stick to legacy keys when i play dota and i can't use quickcast
>yeees yeees Laowai keep playing shitty games that we make worse and worse
>>106694737its because more and more hues figure out the strats and the rewards are capped so they nerf it to stay in budget
>>106694896its really not worth it anymore. it wasnt before but it wasnt such an awful grind like it is now.
>>106694222I have 3 from 2019, still work fine

I certainly know I gravitated more and more to more methodical and tactical games as I got older.>>106694737 The crying squirrel that pops up after you rolled the slot machine makes me unreasonably aggressive/angry. It looks like AI slop and I hate when a company tries to emotionally manipulate so cheaply with a crying cutesy mascot. The game is so not worth it anymore, progress is at a crawl, I've been stuck in a "hard" one for ages, and the rewards aren't even something I'd really care about if I could redeem today. I wanted one of those mops that you can pump to spray water with, which would actually have been worth my time, but now all I can redeem (in 5 years at this pace) is a shitty shaver that looks to be e-waste after 10 minutes of use, and a office foam pillow with a cutout for your balls, that I literally would throw away immediately because of how worthless it seems.At least shit like the stir mug were cheaply made but something you might want to have around, the current stuff is worse than trash.
What's a cheap but decently-working soldering heat gun I can buy? I want to change the fucking DRIFTING sticks of my piece of shit Xbox Series X pad by Hall Effect or magnetic ones, but desoldering the sticks has been a nightmare. Those factory solders are no joke, and unless I manage to heat them all up at the same time, it's basically impossible to desolder. No, sucking up the solder one by one doesn't fucking werk.I need it to be cheap enough, it's not like I'll use it for much else. Those stations seem overkill already.
>>106695160Do you add enough of your own (leaded) solder to joints for desoldering?
>>106695169I tried to use my own solder to help in the melt, but the factory solder wouldn't budge anyway, or so marginally it wasn't worth it. Now it reminds me I should have checked how much leaded was my own solder, maybe I'll try again this weekend, but I was about to throw everything out of the window out of anger.
>>106695199Yeah, make sure you have a quality leaded solder first. I couldn't get any soldering done when I started due to absolute garbage solder included with my cheap iron. Switched to a decent local-ish solder and it's been a breeze since.
>>106693965i use a mad r major myself and i can vouch for how high quality it is.
>>106695160If you really need a hot air station then https://csg-guide.neocities.org/#standalone-hot-air-stationsgunsAll of those are fairly cheap. But you shouldn't need one for controller sticks, for desoldering you can either use one of the engineer desoldering pump clones, or one of those self-heated ones, but those will cost the same as a hot air station or more (for the decent ones). If it's really stubborn you can use solder wick to reduce the amount of solder pin by pin, though wick rarely if ever gets out the entire solder from the hole (works better on SMD). I have seen the self heated pumps for ~5$ on bundles, but no idea how good they are and they seem sketchy, plus if they are badly made they probably work less well than just a iron + non heated (decent) pump.>No, sucking up the solder one by one doesn't fucking werk.It really should, unless you have an utterly ass iron and pump.

Can you recommend decent soldering station for my esp32 hobby projects?I don't understand what's the difference between 210/115/245 handles but I assume I don't need them all.Thanks
>>106695872I have zero use for it though, my chair is comfy enough, it'd just be something that takes up too much space and I wouldn't use anyways.
>>106696041Read the guide, it's been reworked recently and is up to date. Should cover all your issues.https://csg-guide.neocities.org/#soldering-irons>I don't understand what's the difference between 210/115/245 handles but I assume I don't need them all.Those are all JBC handles/clones. Just think of them as different sizes with 115<210<245.What size you want depends on your usecase, bigger is good for larger components with larger heatsinks, smaller is better for smaller SMD parts.If you don't know what you need, 210 for allrounder or SMD, 245 for through hole or larger SMD.If you don't know anything then JBC tips might be too specialized and you might be happier with T12 or TS100 tips, those are usually less specialized.

>>106696464what's there not to like? cute, fluffy, exotic, cool animal features but a guy, could be a small thick frmboy could be a huge werewolf that carries you off into the woods.. its just more interesting and nice fantasy.you really never thought any of those cartoon animal people looked hot? I'm convinced Disney had a lot of furry artists in it.not even talking about stuff like lion king, but actual just people but animals, wearing clothes having society.decided to look up furry suit out of interest.choose your fighter
>>106694475>degensthat stuffs been pretty vanilla for a while now. not zoophilia obviously, that's still pretty taboo and for good reasons.
Will 30% Rakuten cashback come through? Will it actually ship? The MSRP is 6300 jpy so if the cashback posts, I'd be getting it below MSRP.
>>106696677>what's there not to like?Well firstly I'm hetero, so guys in general don't do much for me, but in general I find the human form much more aesthetic than animals (in a sexual sense). >you really never thought any of those cartoon animal people looked hot?Meh not really. Ironically kaa from jungle book did something, which is weird because it's a he and he's very much not human, but even there it was moreso the concept of hypnosis than him/it being a snake. Same effect in Atlantis, I can imagine those two hypno scenes being written by someone who had a fetish for it.The only "furry" character from disney I can understand finding hot is that rabbit from zootopia, but I never even watched that, so all I've seen are probably giga sexualized versions. >but animals, wearing clothes having society.Those are the newer disney movies, I'm old anon, they were after I watched disney movies. I watched like atlantis, treasure planet, fox and the hound and last unicorn (not disney I know, but great). With the notable exception of atlantis with the hypno scene, the rest just aren't sexualized much. I suppose the lieutenant from treasure planet is a fury woman, but I never was attracted to her.I'm pretty vanilla anyways, but I can at least see it with some furry characters, issue is some are called furry and it's like a hot woman with animal ears, and others are also called furries and it's just an animal that can talk. I find that authentic genitalia leans towards the latter camp.
>>106696700>that stuffs been pretty vanilla for a while now. I wonder about that, like light furry characters sure, but actual animal genitalia as dildos feels fringe to me. Maybe I'm just too tame/vanilla though. I don't mean degen in a "social outcast" or "moral hazard" sense, just in the sense that it's a somewhat maladjusted subsection of the population, I'd consider 4chan users to be some level of degenerate too kek.
Anyone know about any cheap chinese e-ink readers? They don't have to be very fancy.
>>106696436This did not work?
>>106697175We've been over this many times, anon. Get either Kindle and jailbreak; or Kobo. Chink ones aren't any cheaper still.
>>106697346you don't have to be a mean nigger, pipe down, please.Any kindle model you recommend specifically?
>>106696439>veteran of the veggie wars
>>106697014>kaa and hoopsdamn bro, youre even more furry than mekaa is pretty cool probably to do with expressive face and big eyes, I think ponyfags get into that too. rabbit is cool, also not the most human shaped but just cartoony enough to be hot I think. another classic one is Lola Space Jam, must gotten buckets back in the day.but yeah cartoon characters are pretty hot. anime too. most real people just look weird and awkward to me.probably something like that animal population control phenomenon where they made fake animals with more pronounced characteristics so the animals went for the fake ones and didn't breed. but eh.>those are the newer Disney movieswhat you talking about, robin hood is from 1973 an people lust both for him and for Marian.old cartoons are full of this stuff, modern ones are just more overtly furry.treasure planet is also good but its not that old, it has CG even. and that cat girl is pretty hot I have to admit. furry spectrum is pretty wide I guess but I'm just at a point where I don't care that someone calls something furry or not. anthropomorphic characters have predated the subculture by thousands of years so it doesn't really matter.on that note also, always found for some reason that like wolf stuff with the knots is pretty hot, and doesn't even registers as animal in my head, if its not too realistic, but when people make furry girl bits its always really off-putting to me so maybe there's also something else about that. or like multiple nipples. back on topic of chinkshit, I do see fantasy and monster dicks and onaholes, to a point where you can't even really tell what its supposed to be, or its just made up. guess if it feels good its good. I only tried a cheap Yeain Ginza anime onahole, was soft but the sizes are not too big, think 16cm tall, so I ripped through it eventually. was really soft and stretchy tho which was nice. again though, realistic ones always seem weird. give me furry or anime and I'm happy.
>>106697037furries and bad dragon has been a thing for so many years... you can see their stickers on cars and whatever. maybe I just desensitised but it feels like whatever.4chan is also pretty damn normalfag now. I guess it also depends on whom you hang out with.like AliExpress has been a thing for so long but most people. i know never heard of it before but started using temu cause it got shipped in like tiktok or something.furries have conventions and so exposure is easier.
>>106697489shipped - shilled
>>106697452>most real people just look weird and awkward to meThat's ... probably not a good thing anon. Real people can be infinitely more cute once you get past the idealized outer appearance. Like a girl with a mildly crooked smile, or eyes that are somehow inbetween multiple colors. It can be the weirdest shit that you find appealing. >what you talking about, robin hood is from 1973 an people lust both for him and for MarianI can understand, but I can't empathize. That's just a cartoonized fox.>anthropomorphic characters have predated the subculture by thousands of years so it doesn't really matterThere's a down the rabbit hole about furries, worth a look imo. I'm not a furry (as in I don't seek it out and most furry stuff doesn't do much for me), but it was very entertaining to learn about that subculture.>where you can't even really tell what its supposed to be, or its just made upBad dragon popularized the idea of entirely made up anatomy, weird colors and shapes too.
>>106697489>maybe I just desensitised Probably depends on where you live, I've never seen any furry shit IRL, it's all been online. No stickers (as in no sexualized stuff, there is the odd sticker of an anthropomorphized animal of course here and there), no costumes, and no open discussion anywhere.>but it feels like whatever.I mean the way I see it they're not harming anyone, and I don't care about "moral hazards" so godspeed. As long as it's consensual and everyone is old enough (some apparently didn't get the memo on that one kek), I don't care. Oldschool liberalism pilled and all that, let the people do their thing.>i know never heard of it before but started using temu cause it got shipped in like tiktok or something.Temu had a massive marketing push, it was everywhere for a while, still is the most downloaded app in most of europe iirc.>4chan is also pretty damn normalfag now.Meh not really, the internet in general just changed, but the ancient UI is a good gatekeeper for many people as a normie won't use 4chanX(T) etc.Sure the containment boards are proportionally larger now, but if you stay clear of the big boards that normies might visit (used to be /b/, now it's /pol/ and /vt/) it's still very nieche. Ever been to the really small boards? Some weird (and entertaining) shit on there.
>>106694222Checked, mine still works.
>>106697396Not her, but kindles suck spyware amazon ass, and not all can be jailbroken. Get Kobo.
>>106697584fair but compare 4chan now and 4chan 10-15 years ago its pretty different, in general. guess everything is different...>>106697530I get that kind of beauty, but its with someone in a relationship. and theres a lot of romantic furry stuff too, but I think when you just want to get overstimulated purely sexually you don't think about those small details.I never been in the furry culture but it looks kinda fun from the outside. may be I'd go to a con to look at fluffy costumes and get some hugs or something, people seem pretty open. not gonna put in thousands of bucks for a costume though, damn. though I seen one's on Ali for hundred or two I bet they're pretty garbage, and pics are just stolen from some furrys Instagram or twitter or something.
>>106698168>guess everything is differentYeah I think it's more a general shift to the vibe of the internet, rather than a unique aspect to 4chan. I do miss some aspects, but a lot of it was also very childish and we mostly enjoyed it because we were younger ourselves. 4chan especially is aging with its userbase to some extent.
>>106697334the cards and keys work but the bottom picture for the phone part is missing
>>106697396>you don't have to be a mean nigger, pipe down, please.NTA but that exact same question is posted on every damn thread, it's really tiring
anyone tried the wolfbox mf100?
>>106698112do you have a Kobo? if so, what's the benefit if I'm jailbreaking the kindle anyway (considering it can be jailbroken)?>>106698370THIS IS /g/, FAGGOT, asking the same repetitive easily googable questions 24/7 is the norm.
>>106698450OK, you are a retard. Have a (You), enjoy
>>106698168Furry culture is not the same as being "a furry" for me. Anthros are pretty much just a normal part of every culture throughout history. Being a furry to me is actually going to cons, dressing and having a different persona. In that sense, furfagging is pretty much just drag, and I see a really big appeal in that, creating a whole different persona that you live out sounds amazing. Most furries I know embrace the shock they provoke on others and that just seems cool.
Just read the guide, it's not that hard.
>>106698489I was asking a genuine question, not taking into account your feelings as a bipoc /csg/ daily lurker minority and your trigger subjects (eink readers) does not make me a retard.
>>106698450Not the anons you talked about but literally noone owes you shit anon and the second you had a mini melty and were a cunt about it in >>106697396 when asking for advice, I'd have written you off too. Not your personal army includes not your personal servants either. >asking the same repetitive easily googable questions 24/7 is the norm.Have you considered suicide? You have the mindset of an actual leech I only wish the worst for you. Genuine untermensch moment.Basic etiquette is if you have a question you spend some time doing research, write it out so it's easy to read, give relevant context and have some modesty about it. Usually that results in people being nice and giving you good advice. If it's not worth spending the time to write a well written question, it's not worth writing an answer either.>>106698550>does not make me a retardYou are among the worst this site has to offer and should be excised from it. On one level with the bbc posters and retards spamming their board topics onto other boards.
>>106698522yeah true just most people just call everything furry nowjust like people call everything gay or invent things to be gay that are not related to it in any wayas long as its not an unhealthy escapism, furry stuff seems pretty cool
>>106698262hard to believe I've been on this site for literal decades
>>106699174Maybe, I don't know, but maybe I just wanted to listen to personal opinions on a thread meant for personal opinions.This is some actual 60iq "social interactions cause me panic attacks" sperg behavior right here, sister. I thank you for your (you)s and for a sensible laugh, you little oddball anon.
>>106698450>Kobonot any of those anons but i've had a glance recently cause i have gift cards to spend.from the video reviews, kobo screen looks worse than kindle. i don't know how to exprain. idk up to you do decide but something looks off to me.the 2025 kindle paperwhite seems to be having major QC problems. or maybe they just enshittified their screen manufacture process. basically the screens are turning very orange with time. they have not fixed it. amazon nuked their listings and made new ones in attempt to hide the bad reviews. it's a shit show. do not touch kindle paperwhite until this shit blows over. their color screen kindle is suppsed to be problematic too so don't waste your shekels on it. who knows when that will happen.
>>106699769Yeah it's wild to think about, time passes by fast. On the bright side, you can always put on the brakes, and it means you're never trapped where you are.

>>106694323Truly the audiophiles of cycling.I love how they always overlook how light the bike is in comparison to the person before they even begin, and you have to shift the weight of both together.His wife just has to eat lunch or drink a small bottle of water and all of his tedious work is undone.Events:>Wife has to stop using brakes because they start smoking>Wife cries on first use of bike>Husband lies about his weight autism>Husband yells at her when she hurts herselfThere is a treasure trove of 'jaks here.Finally, the shitty drug dealer scale in the part 2.

>>106698112I used to work for Rakuten a couple of years ago and we've got an employee discount of about 30% on Kobos. To this day I still sometimes regret not buying one, but then I remember that I'm a fucking retard who doesn't read and move on.

any idea if im supposed to remove this cardboard looking thing on the back of the macropad? not a fan of the screws scraping the table.also anyone got any idea of why i cant detect my macropad with the rOzzy1987/MacroPad software? i tried adding the custom from the HID device with{VendorId}:{ProductId},{PathFragment},{ProtocolVersion}otherwise i really like the numpad and macropad
>>106701265are you really asking that question right now?are you afraid of voiding the warranty or something?it's just paper stuck to acrylic to keep it from being scratched. just buy sillicone/rubber feet for it to put over the screws.
>>106701043I found it fascinating how utterly incapable that guy was to have basic empathy, normally I'd attribute that to selfishness but he clearly wanted his wife to enjoy his hobby, yet was utterly incapable of seeing that what works for him as a guy having the tism into the hobby isn't great for a beginner. It's like if I went into a tirade about tip grounding everytime someone asked about soldering, or the minute differences in 1000 grit sharpening stones for knives. It's not only overwhelming for a beginner, it's actively unhelpful.
>>106701265>any idea if im supposed to remove this cardboard looking thing on the back of the macropad?It's on the backside, so it's really up to you. On the one hand I see little reason to leave it, as it provides little protection, on the other removing it doesn't improve visuals as it's the bottom anyways. So just do what feels right.
>>106701265To clarify what I said in >>106701448 :The acrylic that is used to cut these sheets comes with that film as a overall protection, and they leave it on for shipping. It serves no intentional purpose and the assumption is you'll remove it once it arrives. But you can still do whatever as the aesthetics of the underside of a peripheral kind of don't matter.
>>106700520I got glasses from beclear and they were according to specs I gave them. I messed up and got the wrong lenses though.
>>106701440To me, he appears to be very consumed by, well, consumerism, and that total blindsides him to any practical considerations because he could have the bike just a little bit lighter. He won't rest as long as he knows there's something out there just a little bit better, and his wife is just secondary to that. She's just a means to justifying building a light woman's bike.He and his wife have some kind of spending related tension too where he has to invent reasons for purchasing things and what she spends he considers somewhat his because she doesn't work.Also, I think he wants his wife to be a hardcore cyclicst like him for the image of being a cyclist couple rather than her personal enjoyment of it, going back to the part where he sees a couple on a tandem, or when he is embarassed about being passed.He comes off like a bit of a psychopath rather than just 'tistic.
>>106701440Also as an aside, tell me why one should tip ground and what the differences are in 1,000 grit sandpaper. I just buy by the grit number and don't think about it at the moment.
>>106702377>sandpaperstones
>>106700520I got prescription transition lenses from Zenni optical. I think they also do sunglasses. Shipping takes awhile cause China, but otherwise they're fine.Paid like $150 for transitions (instead of $700-1000+ in the US) and got myself a backup non-transitions pair for like $30-40 (instead of like $125-200 in the US).
>>106701353I've seen 1 star reviews on Ali/Amazon that complain that the transparent acrylic items people have ordered are not the right color (brown) or are made from cardboard. Nobody knew to peel off the protective layer.
>>106702377>tell me why one should tip groundTip that isn't grounded can build up electrical potential, which then essentially creates a shock to the chips you are working on making them potentially break. The particular chips breaking is bad enough, worse is the debugging, because you may not notice when it happens and finding out where the issue is after soldering on a medium to large board (particularly one without plenty of well documented test contacts) is akin to prostate torture. You truly don't know how bad things are until you have to systematically figure debug a large SMD chip to find the chip that's fucked, especially if it only broke partially (which can happen).>and what the differences are in 1,000 grit sandpaperSharpening stones. The differences are response, speed, consistency of the grit (as the grit rating is an average, with no mention of deviation size) and longevity. A 1000 grit generic oxide stone from your local chinese food store is not the same as a shapton stone, which is not the same as a diamond plate with the same grit etc. These are fundamentally different products with different up and downsides. Does the average normie need the expensive ones? No. Are they even comparable to the cheap ones? Not really.
>>106702510Cool. Thanks.
its all bots and lardasses here probably pissing into the void butany good running shoes?

>>106702866bro i checked and the prices are inline with nike etcwhats the point of going on aliexpress if not for priceyou cant even try them on so price
>>106701043seems to me the wife doesn't care about cycling
>>106703095True, but to be fair, I wouldn't care about cycling either if I had to get on some uncomfortable and ultralight flimsy (from the POV of a beginner) bike, use foot clamps before I can even get comfortable riding, and get yelled at both when not riding fast enough and when falling.He took an activity with a solid 70% chance of his wife enjoying it once she gave it a chance (maybe more, she was willing to put up with a lot for him after all, so she was probably really motivated) and turned that activity into a 20% chance by making any association with it negative.If you want to get someone into a hobby with you, you want to make it easy, rewarding, and limited in scope to not be overwhelming.Imagine I take my GF fishing or hiking.I can give her a harder to use baitcast spool on a ultralight rod at a lake that has plenty of plants to get many snags, or I can prep a nice picnic for breakfast with coffee and eggs, go to that lake that has less fish but is nicer to look at with her at sunrise and make it a positive memory. Or go to one of those fish farm lakes so she's basically guaranteed she'll get a trout or something.For hiking, imagine I force a 1 week hike with plenty of elevation through rough terrain from the beginning, she'd have to associate hiking with pain and suffering.Instead I might do a simple overnight trip, where we hike up a mountain, camp, look at the sunrise on the mountain the next morning before going back home, or maybe a 3 day trip with plenty of rest inbetween.In one of these approaches you really can't fault the person being introduced to the hobby for not liking it, they never had much of a chance to.

After extensive testing it was found that that solution results in 5% less forceful handling compared to the average sorting center employee.
>>106706716The way I interpreted it, it's an excuse for not getting shit done, basically like the "the early bird gets the worm; the late worm gets to live" copypasta of old. It's not as "live laugh love" coded as the shit like "my body is like a god, but it's buddha" but personally I'd still rather not wear a slogan that in my head might as well be said by a pothead after being asked why he woke up at 3 pm.Who knows maybe I'm just being a sensitive bitch about it, but I associated it with being lazy and justifying that.

>>106706832i actually think it's capitalism-coded. think about the segway and how every chinese factory started making them once they got a hold of the schematics. might've heard it be used in stock market talk as well (ie. gamestop)
>>106706893>think about the segway and how every chinese factory started making them once they got a hold of the schematicsYou mean hoverboards I assume? Segways are the big ones with the vertical handle. They were also responsible for my first concussion with memory loss. Hoverboards were the small things that people got as a fad until it turned out they were basically IEDs and social media was full of them bursting in flames for a while.
>>106706927yeah that's right the hoverboards. that and the weird 2 wheeled skateboards where you need to keep twisting your body to make it go forward definitely needed you to wear a helmet because of how dubiously they were designed
Any decent budget USB-C power meter?Only need something simple that can measure current/wattage, PD testing would be a plus though.

>>106698450>do you have a Kobo? if so, what's the benefit if I'm jailbreaking the kindle anyway (considering it can be jailbroken)?As compensation for some trivial programming job years ago I was given a kindle 3rd gen (still werks flawlessly). It's nice, I've done lots of reading, but I mostly create my own ebooks from open sources because I don't want to buy from amazon. Ergo, it's always on airplane mode because I don't want amazon to remotely lock or brick it, nor know what "extremist" content I read. I even bought the original paperwhite a few years later and gave the 3rd gen to my firstborn son.I haven't bothered jail-breaking any of them, because I'm happy as-is. They do the job, nice screen, good interface for 3rd gen, sufferable interface for paperwhite. However, had Kobo been out back then, I would've gotten one instead.

I bought a shower hose replacement. Went to replace it and put away the old hose. Found brand new hose in the box for the shower head. At least now I know I can get a replacement from china for a few bucks.It's entirely stainless steel. I was afraid only the connectors would be metal and the slinky tube part would be plastic. They also use brass inner fitting that connects the plastic tube to the ends. The cheap shit i bought from amazon has plastic fittings.

Anons, be very careful when ordering monitors from China. I just barely avoided getting chinked when my monitor arrived with 3 dead pixels.Had to return it because "I didn't like it".
>>106708364Sounds like a lottery. But fuck them anyway, they won't ship the monitor I want to my country. Bastards.
>>106708472Yeah it's a lottery, but when the same monitor is twice as expensive locally, it's worth playing.I just ordered a different one. And if it has dead pixels, I will make some shit up again to return it. Hopefully it doesn't.
>>106694737The veggie game is actually kind of fun but it sure is mobile sloppa.
>>106708514I would've bought the monitor I want locally with a markup no problem, but they don't sell it here. Only an older model, that can come with an old firmware (can't update) that renders white as pink in some scenarios.
>>106708694What monitor? Maybe there's a good alternative.
So what do you do when the current sale isn't really a great one, you're in no real rush for the item, but you're not sure if prices will go up or down come the next sale? Most likely it'll go down and there'll be a spend and save but is it a risk worth taking?

I just bought a cheap chink e-reader with no backlight, no formatting support, and no image support, but it was just so cute looking I couldn't help myself. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009632614005.html>>106697396Buy a 1st gen Oasis. This was the best e-reader Amazon ever made, and the best e-reader any company has ever made. It's half the weight of "modern" units, because instead of putting a 20 hour battery in the e-reader, they put it in the case, and then made the case magnetic with pogo pins so you could detach it to read more comfortably. After the Voyage and 1st gen Oasis, Amazon realised that they had accidentally made products that were too good, so they have spent the past decade making their products shitter so people have a reason to buy the "new" versions that are slightly better than the last garbage release.
>>106709160>It's half the weight of "modern" units, because instead of putting a 20 hour batteryYou say that like they don't still weight basically nothing.And the battery lasts for months, not 20 hours.
>>106709170They last "months" if you barely use them. 25-50 real world hours is typical usage.>they don't still weight basically nothing.My new chink reader weighs basically nothing, that little guy is 74g, which is a little over half of what the Oasis weighs. The Oasis is very light at 133g, and most modern battery bloated e-readers are 200g+. Sure, they're not heavy, but once you add a case you're over 300g, and those cases are typically clip on shit you can't instantly remove to start using the e-reader.

Hello fellow compulsive consumerists. I received all the chink shit I bought a couple weeks ago yesterday (spent these last two days building the Lego set) thought you might find this cool. A couple arduinos, potenciometres, a weird eGPU to express card thingie, and cool Lego tank with Lego russian soldiers. Verdict: I didn't even feel shame being a chink lego manchild, very intricate, lots of pieces for 40 euros.
>>106710218Forgot to attach pic
>>106710226nice prototype tank. they are never going to make it because it's going to perform just as bad as the abrams, leopard and challenger tanks in ukraine. they are probably going to redesign it fully but keep the engine and hull for other vehicles.

Figurebro here again with another prize figure.It's legit but the scale is really small (feels like it's 1/10), if you want a Senjougahara figure definitely get the other one I reviewed, it's higher quality, bigger and more detailed.This one isn't bad, but it feels more like a prize figure than the other ones I posted.The little white pixel on her hair was just some dust that I didn't notice btw.Here's the link if anybody is interested https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005459057185.html
>>106710878Oh, I forgot to mention, the pegs are plastic and it came packaged really well just like the last one (in a styrofoam box).And I do have another figure that I should be getting my hands on on monday.
>>106710828It's the T-14 Armata (the latest design from Russia), a tank with an unmanned turret, a modular multi-fuel X-engine, an autoloader and a hull that can be reused for other vehicles like the T-15 or T-16. It's quite advanced in terms of design with its reusable hull, modular engine, and unmanned turret. The problem is, with drones, it's not going to perform any better than the latest western tanks that we have seen in Ukraine. There is also a prototype for a remotely controlled assault tank driving around.

>>106714032That anon isn't wrong. You got a good product (as in well made, good QA) for a very fair price. It was always cheaper quality switches and such, but everything felt good and lasted for long.The rest of what that anon said is wrong though, adjusting prices to market demand isn't price gauging and it's not like xiaomi either.

Now the same model costs 40€. Probably still not a bad deal, but not as great as back then

>>106714327You should probably iron that and it'd make the outfit look twice as expensive just form that. But it looks like it's 100% polyester, so make sure not to have the iron too hot or it will fuck it up.
>>106714356Yes, I use a water steamer. Just took a pic of it out of the packaging cause I dont have the rest of the cosplay yet
>>106714342I fucking love my Olight Oclip Pro. Having an actual three position switch for spot, flood, red instead of Anduril autism is great. >RGBRed light is a surprisingly useful feature when you need to quickly locate something in complete darkness and don't want to blind yourself with white light.
>>106714447>Olight Oclip Prothat one seemed great, but it was more than I felt like spending on such a flashlight (although I end up using these pocket lights a ton)The one I've gotten has stepless switching between colors so idk if it would be easy to stop it on pure red (but at least it should save the last color used when you turn it off)I've heard that green light is actually better than red to preserve night vision since it lets you see more with less power, but honestly white on moonlight does the trick for me anyway
>>106714374That makes sense, does a water steamer work well on polyester? I never had one (other than the steam function built in with most irons these days). Either way it probably is much less aggressive on the material so that's good.
>>106714342>>106714447This is off-topic but I fucking despise this RGB shit in every flashlight, it's just another gazillion settings I have to cycle through to get to the only settings that matter: Brightness and mode (flood/focus/night). I don't care that it can emulate police sirens and rapidly flash, I can't even conceive of a situation where I'd ever want that other than to kill homeless people who I know are severely epileptic in such a way that affords me reasonable deniability in a court of law. FUCK this rgb bullshit.
>>106714447>Olight Oclip ProLooks cool but €50? I dunno.
>>106714650Keep in mind that light-tism is a hobby and like most hobbies at the upper bounds of quality you pay astronomically more for marginal improvements.The blackpill is that the light austists 100$ giga flashlight in the end does the same thing as the one from the guy in the bundles who got a mini edc flashlight for 2$. It lights stuff up.Sure the 100$ flashlight can light things up that's 200m away, but how often do you really need that and in return despite having 10x the battery size of the edc light it lasts the same time because it wastes so much power.If you want to get into it for the hobby, by all means, enjoy yourself. But never let anyone tell you that you need to pay top money for a useful light.Pic very much rel. Got that for 2€, mine glows in the dark, has a focus light, has a magnet on the back to attach to shit when working somewhere, has a clip to attach to your clothes, has a floodlight, has USB-C charging, is small as shit so easy to edc.Is it as good as the expensive ones? No. Does it get the job done when trying to fix shit at home? Sure does.
>>106714327OK
>>106714707>Sure the 100$ flashlight can light things up that's 200m awaywhile i was researching flashlights a bit, i was honestly surprised by the kind of shit that is perfectly available to the average consumer.
>>106714531only seems to be common on the chinkest stuff, Nitecore already doesn't seem to put it in most stuff and it's even more rare in more reputable brands like Rovyvon. Anyway second lights are usually tucked away in stuff like triple clicks etc. so they are easy to ignore
>>106714784yeah flashlight autism has come a long wayhttps://youtu.be/ATJzfxIsNuE
>>106714531>red/blue sirensfor jobs like security and event staff?
>>106714650I paid much less than that, around 30 bucks. >>106714707>100$ giga flashlightLMAO, you're off by a decimal at least.
>>106714784Yeah there's some very powerful stuff you can get for reasonably cheap. The issue is that for most people it's entirely larping. Like you show off how far your flashlight can reach around the campfire and everyone goes "oh wow gee, that sure is far" and then you use it the same way as any other flashlight, to light up the path 2m in front of you. I'm not saying that's not a valid usecase, but people sometimes act like anything less is pure trash kek. For my usecase (fishing and hiking) what matters is actually the quality of the pwm controller and thus the lowest brightness setting, not the brightest for example. So I care about battery capacity, lowest brightness and weight. Meanwhile someone else might value sturdy construction and highest brightness instead. >>106714797It's just a feature that apparently some people care about, it's like your keyboard having a setting with RGB lights that does a strobe effect or some shit. I can't imagine ever wanting that, but apparently I'm the odd one out there. Issue is a red mode is one I very much do like, and often the red mode and the other random flashing modes are behind the same button presses.>>106714813Fair, but I don't think nieche use needs to be there for everyone kek.
>>106714531Well, these mostly useless features aren't the problem imo. The problem is the fake minimalism and button phobia of modern electronics. Especially after touch smartphones, the retarded designers everywhere decided that one button is all you need and that's how we got shit like pressing a button 12 times to cycle through to the right mode.I have a better chink version of pic related as EDC, it's pretty good. It has two buttons so the "fun" features are relegated to the right button, getting them out of the way. And the press and hold is temporary max brightness (no matter your brightness setting) so that's quick access to what you need.>>106714707>Keep in mind that light-tism is a hobbyYeah but these things are quite mass-produced. Also I have one (but slightly bigger) like in your pic, also ~$2. It's pretty bad though compared to the ~$15 one in my pic.Brightness is very important when outside. Giga flashlights aren't very useful due to their size but they do cost a lot because they have expensive hardware.Also I build all kinds of lights DIY, often in this clip form factor.>>106714839>I paid much less than that, around 30 bucks.Oh, nice. Might just be getting EU-fucked. For that I think I'd buy one too, now.
>>106710906I haven't followed the war closely and am very much an armchair observer, but aren't the modern western leopards reasonably effective? I haven't heard much about them, but I'd assume the same for the abrams. They just aren't effective in the way they were designed, and their armor doesn't matter as much, but their speed in rough terrain and stabilization make them much better than the older models for the current "attack quickly and strongly, then fuck off before the artillery and drones decimate you" tactics. Obviously not the greatest way to showcase their strengths, but they're still substantially stronger than older models.
>>106714842>Issue is a red mode is one I very much do like, and often the red mode and the other random flashing modes are behind the same button presses. true it's exactly the issue I'd have with the one I just bought if I wanted a red light.My cheap keyboard (Machenike k500 iirc) has rgb too and I always keep it off, but oddly enough I couldn't find a similar affordable, hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with numpad on aliexpress that didn't have rgb. Like why is it hard to find something with FEWER features in the cheap tiers lol, meanwhile expensive keyboards without useless lights are plentiful
>>106714867>Brightness is very important when outsideCan you explain how? I never understood that logic personally. Sure brightness matters when it's already bright out (daytime), as it's competing against the sun, but if it's that bright, then arguably I don't need a flashlight to begin with. And when it's night, then even the shitty flashlights will easily light up the next ~20m of path ahead of you, which is more than I need. Instead I use my flashlight almost entirely on the lowest brightness setting, usually in red mode. Conserves battery, I see what I care about (the next few meters of path ahead), lower profile, so less likely to be spotted when that matters, and that way I retain some of my natural nightvision so I can still make out rough shapes ahead where the flashlight doesn't reach unless it's a night without starlight due to clouds. If I had a brighter light, I'd get less battery life, I'd have a better vision the next 10m or so of the path that I don't really care about, and it'd disable my nightvision such that anything outside this cone of light becomes invisible for me. In my opinion, even without the battery issues and cost associated, I'd much rather see 2m and have natural nightvision for the rest than see 10m and be blind beyond that. For fishing it's even more important because it can scare off some fish. The one area where I see the reasoning is for bicycles because you're faster there so seeing further ahead is necessary so you have enough time to react in time.Like what is a situation where you are happy to have the ability? I've never cared with any of my flashlights, I maybe use the settings outside of lowest brightness 2% of the time total.
>>106714867>Also I have one (but slightly bigger) like in your pic, also ~$2. It's pretty bad though compared to the ~$15 one in my pic.If you ever need one more item for your bundles case consider getting that exact one, I have 2 and have gifted like 5 over the years, you can often also find them for 2-2.5€ still. They are bright enough to light up a room in floodlight mode (the side) and I can easily light up my neighbors house completely (20m) at night in normal mode. Surprisingly bright for the size. Batter life isn't amazing obviously, but that's a tradeoff you do for the form factor. It also gets kinda hot.
>>106714913>Like why is it hard to find something with FEWER features in the cheap tiers lol, meanwhile expensive keyboards without useless lights are plentifulThe power of scalar effects for cheap manufacturing kek.It's annoying because weird as it sounds I'd pay an additional 2-5€ just to have those features removed kek. At least with RGB on a keyboard you can usually turn it off it's just annoying when it hides in other settings you need.
>>106714935>Can you explain how?not him but I live on the mountains and on certain rocky trails it would be really hard to find your way with anything less than a few hundreds of lumens, or this one time I was at a bivouac and some hikers were coming up but it was already dark and the retards had only their phones' flashlights, so I lit the way up for them from above (the last few dozens of meters up were a bit tricky and dangerous) with a 4000 lumens floody flashlight, which was barely enough to see things decently from that distance.When I go running in winter my 500 lumen headlamp is barely enough even on easy trails, I need to see the terrain very well to avoid hurtin myself. Anything above 1000 is for niche use cases I admit, but up to that it's very useful to have more light imo
>>106714935>>106715028once you use a flashlight where there are no streetlights you can appreciate just how much light output a single flashlight can give and how helpful streetlight and the moon is in terms of ambient lighti walked into this tunnel once during the dusk where there were no lights and thank god i had my EDC flashlight. it lit the entire tunnel up until the other end
>>106714935One of my main uses is being seen by traffic. I don't want to look like a xmas tree with lights on my backpack or something, so I just turn on my light in a situation where I need to be seen (like crossing a road).What I do is shine it down where I want to go (and where they will drive), for that to be visible the light needs to be quite strong.>Sure brightness matters when it's already bright outThis can be a pretty bright scenario (Just not where im standing), even though it's completely dark out. There's streetlights, bright signs, bright windows, headlights of other cars...In more complete darkness (usually forest in my case) I mostly want the high brightness to see further.
>>106715028>on certain rocky trails it would be really hard to find your wayAh I can see that actually, the trails I hike on rarely have stones higher than hip height for me, so if you go a suboptimal route that's just one or two mildly more annoying spots along the way, but if it's larger rocks and you have to plan your route ahead then having a proper light probably really helps. Good example anon, thanks.>When I go running in winter my 500 lumen headlamp is barely enough even on easy trails, I need to see the terrain very well to avoid hurtin myself. Have you given it a try? I think a lot of people who find it hard to imagine doing it my way with very low brightness never tried, so they assume it's like the area they don't light up when they go, but it's really not, having a bright light makes it so anything outside your lightcone is basically invisible because of the way our pupils adjust, but if you have no or little light your nightvision is suprisingly decent with starlight.>>106715056>and how helpful streetlight and the moon is in terms of ambient lightYeah exactly, it's just that when there's a bright lightsource then you can't see shit outside it, but when it's actually dark you realize how much light there still is when it's moonlight or starlight only.
There's a sort of flashlight autist bell curve where the middle part is thinking you need hundreds or thousands of lumens to do anything useful. It is nice to have it and not need it though.You'll often find a lot of the high end stuff is more about the quality of the tool itself and the interface.
>>106715090>One of my main uses is being seen by traffic.

I have retroreflectors on some of my gear for the rare cases where I do, and they seem to work surprisingly well, but I get how you'd want that ability regardless.>In more complete darkness (usually forest in my case) I mostly want the high brightness to see further.Thanks for giving the examples anon, it makes sense the way you describe it and it also makes sense why I'd never have cared (as they are different usecases than mine). Give it a try in a forest though for me once, turn off the light and sit down for 2-5 minutes or so, then look around and see what you can see in what you assumed was total darkness. It's shocking sometimes, nights rarely have really no light, pretty much only when it's heavily overcast. (Granted if you're in a forest with a thick canopy of trees then it might not work). When I was younger I'd often miss the last train back home when partying and then walk home through the forest (~10km). I'd always have to convince friends with me to turn their goddamn phone lights off, because they don't really help much but they are just bright enough that your nightvision doesn't activate and as a result you see fuckall. Those trips through the forest were tourist paths though, it's different on actual hiking trails or anywhere where there's a lot of hazards.

>>106715113>Have you given it a try?I have, normally I keep the light on low but when I get to a slightly technical downhill section I have to crank it up to high, otherwise with the extra speed it becomes too hard to see the ground properly. But overall I agree that you can usually get away with very little light to illuminate your way>>106714991>It's annoying because weird as it sounds I'd pay an additional 2-5€ just to have those features removed kektell me about it lol, Chang might see a nice business idea in this
>>106715247>downhill sectionJust to be clear do NOT do what I suggested when on a bicycle kek. There's a reason downhill riders who ride into the night have a giant floodlight and a fucking super bright focus light.I'm talking when you're walking, with downhill mountainbiking has too many hazards, you're gonna find a fallen down branch on the course and impale yourself or some shit.
