They also updated Gimp and now if I merge down to one layer and copy all it gives me this shit rather than the properly cropped version (where it increases image size to fit all layers perfectly and adds padding to do so). Cropping doesn't do shit unless you export the file.Why the fuck would you do this?
Are there any decent kitchen knives on aliex?I believe I had seen something somewhere
>>106981673Yes but I can't spoonfeed you because the listings change all the time, so what worked for me won't necessarily work for you.Read the guide and the /ck/ guide linked in it to get some basics about knife stuff if you don't know those already, then look for one of the decent factories selling VG10 damascus steel (which means vg10 core with a cheaper cladding). Outperforms expensive german knives for a fraction of the price.
Singles day when?
> >>106962591 - Yihua 929DV desoldering iron reviewI had a similar one and it almost killed me.The insulation inside it failed and the tip became live at mains voltage and when I was desoldering a ground pin I also touched parts of the ground plane at the edge of the PCB, getting a shock big enough to trigger my GFCI - I'd be dead if my room's circuit wasn't protected by one.Never get an ungrounded mains iron.
>>106981150Pens are a given, I feel like there's often good mousepads missing in offices and such, normies dont care to go to a store and buy one would rather take a piece of A4 paper.
>>106982146There's a hint in the name anon.
Does anyone here own this monitor? If so, how is it for a Mini Led panel?https://us.ktcplay.com/products/27-inch-180hz-hdr1400-miniled-gaming-monitor
Has anyone ever bought the tiny thinkpad clone looking laptops from Ali? Having a tiny 7” laptop sounds comfy for my electronics workstation to not take up much space but be useful for having docs pulled up or run super basic windows programs. Are any of them actually good? I know GPD makes nice ones but those are like 800$ and there’s cheaper ones for like 250-350$
>>106982723I haven't tried these specific ones, but you should really consider if 7" is enough (inb4 it's above average).I find 10" to be the sweet spot for portability while remaining useful to work with, and even there the keyboard will get cramped. If it just works as a terminal that's SSHed into a server, fair enough, but I think you'll really appreciate the additional screen real estate for docs and schematics. Sadly for tablets in that range your options are usually android or overpriced x86 laptops with shitty battery life (though I suppose that won't matter if you keep it plugged in). Still waiting for that ARM tablet that has native linux support or at least makes flashing linux onto it easy while not costing 3 times what it should.
>>106981749gracias familia
>>106982788Gotcha, what laptop are you using now? I’m not set on 7” specifically, I just want a mini laptop to keep on my workbench or throw in a bag to take with me. I do think the tiny ones look cute but I wondered about the usability of them
Do coins make a big difference? I hate sm*rtphones and do everything on my computer, but it seems you're penalized for doing that?
>>106982863I use a 14" Lenovo laptop as my "main" laptop for actual work.For documentation, notes (obsidian) and ssh sessions I use a Xiaomi Mi Pad 6 which is 10". It's a great size for when being more compact (and lightweight) matters. It's thin, small and light.I always recommend to relatives to measure out the relevant sizes (7", 10", 14", whatever you're considering) and mark them on a piece of paper. I find just a screen diagonal to be too abstract, when you really see the size as a mockup you get a feel for what you do and don't need. 7" might be enough for example for a PDF if you either use it vertically or are willing to scroll more; if you want to be able to see larger circuits or maybe have one half of the screen for notes (obsidian) and the other for the PDF, then it's borderline too small. All depends on your usecase.>>106982889Not really in most purchases, it's like a 1-2% flat discounts usually. But if you seek out coin discounts and try to maximize them you can save a lot with them (though about half of those "savings" are fake as those listings are often overpriced to suggest larger coin discounts than they really offer).Sadly the aliexpress app is just plain better than on the computer; search works, the different store pages like bundles etc are easier to navigate, most of the discounts etc. come from the app too. But it will schlurp your data in exchange for that.
>>106980131ALX does Black Friday?
>>106982982Has started doing it a few years ago. Unlike the anon you are responding to if you don't use cashback it's usually basically just a longer lasting 11.11 as it starts just after that ends. Worth if you have 1 time coupons as they refresh, but that's about it.
