everything is thanks to the tariffs, my cunttree's govt had the bright idea of slapping a 35% tax on imports "to incentivize local shopping" but my point still stands, shit bought in bulk sold at 200-300% markup

Be cautious of the flood of fake Beyerdynamics on Ali, they're visually practically indistinguishable until you listen to them or open them up and look at the drivers.

Being 50% or less of MSRP should be an obvious sign but I'm sure some still catch that hook.

Bought this mystery M.2 Artix 7 devboard from ali, "XC7A50T-IO". It's also available in 35T and 200T flavors. I had to pay like $10 for someone to download the developer resources off Baidu Pan which was linked on an image. So far the device works, the docs are not great but adequate, although it's all in chinese. I'd say it's 100% worth it for the price.

really depends on what it is you're buying. best bet is reading some of the reviews.
94.9 is a little low for Ali but not terrible. If other sellers have a comparable price and better rating you can go with them.

>>107173245
>>107173270
is that board just a breakout for the fpga? cause id so the docs for it are available for free on the ayymd website (xilinx was bought by them some time ago). or is that already preprogramed with something, and if so WAT?
and do a touchup on that xo, that shit is wonky as hell, im surprised its not shorting

>>107173449
yeah, the other sellers are a bit better rating-wise but these guys are the only one shipping locally instead of china, which means much, much faster shipping

Mostly breakout over the two 0.3mm FPC connectors yes, but also all the power management stuff needed for PCIe. By dev resources I meant schematics on what pin goes where and how the EEPROM is hooked up, evidently this isn't a board AMD manufactures.

you're doing this all wrong.

You can share what it is you're ordering but like I said just check the reviews. 94.9 is still quite high for me to think I'm going to get blatantly used or broken shit, my concern would be shitty packaging or unresponsive sellers.

i wanted to buy stupid stuff i dont need but it seems chang doesnt want my money

>>107173848
If you bought it for like $5-$25, very likely you get chinked. Run h2testw on that shit when you get it and find out how much space you actually got

>>107173208

I have the newer VX2 Pro and I'm pretty happy with it
I think the biggest downside of the older models is that you can only set a single charging current for all bays, which isn't an issue unless you're mixing like NiMH and lithium batteries or something
Also I'm pretty sure most XTAR chargers can charge with however many batteries at the same time you want

Speaking of headphones, what are the current recs here? /hpg/ doesn't seem to be a thing anymore and my main gripe with IEMs is that either the tips I get are shit or my ears produce toxic waste for earwax, memory foam lasts me a few weeks at best
I'm not looking for something super fancy, I just want decent enough closed backs; I considered Samson SR850 s but that little grille makes me doubt getting them because I don't want too much sound bleeding out into the air

>>107175587
>I just want decent enough closed backs;
If we're talking /csg/ tier stuff then look for some Superluxes (like HD660[non-pro are "cooler" being a DT770 design ripoff, but I heard Pro version is comfier - non Pro might be a bit tight if you have large head or hairdo], HD662, HD669 or something like ISK HD9999. SR950 for Samson. You might want to get 3rd party earpads for most Superluxes, but ISK and Samson should be fine with stock.

You might also want to look for them locally first as I believe they're taiwan-made so might be cheaper than looking in places like Aliexpress,

I always recommend the velour pad SR850 & everyone I've recommended them to has been happy
they'll break after a year and a half to two years and the pads get pretty filthy so if you like them I'd just order a pack of pad replacements & change them every like 6-12 months and when the headphones break, throw them out and swap for new ones.
The Beyerdynamic Tygr headphones I've tried were very marginally better but less comfortable and like 5 times the price so it was a nobrainer to me

Everyone I've seen talking about this says to not buy one off a chink site.
I think the one exception is if you buy it off a big brand that makes something that uses it
Like some 18650 flashlight makers sell some bundles where you get a battery with the flashlight, in that case you're usually okay if they specify it (sometimes you can ask for a specific one at an upcharge)

I compressed 500 GB of data into 649 bytes via ipfs and zstd. Proof with links to the full data:
https://ar01.fyeo.io/raw/cOwgmLxvco6qCM-in7DhYljZCVTt6JHae3muWlki4S0

It's a retail disk image of a PNY CS900 SSD (raw drive at /dev/sda catted out).

My question is this: it says "MTBF: 2,000,000 hours" (mean time between failures = 228.3 years) and that can't be right, right? The Asians got it wrong; it should be "2,000,000 minutes", which is 3.805 years. And the warranty for that SSD is about 3 years. I bought it at BestBuy for a stupid price of 45 USD (so 90 USD per terabyte). Pic related.

>>107179162
MTBF is calculated by all the hours from all the drives under test/number of failures.
Basically, the 2E6 hours are not consecutive on the same drive but spread out across hundreds or thousands of drives.

>>107176806
It's like a toy with "functionality".

>>107179221
OK, so 2 x 10^6 is in reference to the hours counted up per drive when testing however many drives they put under load. Then, this number seems useless; why not divide it by the number of drives, then you'd get the average or something. (Perhaps I sound ignorant making this post, but whatever.)

>>107178973
it do be like that sometimes

>>107179279
You're conflating mbtf with product lifetime.
Mbtf is a useful figure for enterprise where you might genuinely get millions of cumulative hours across several drives and are concerned about the failure rate. For a steam library? Not as useful.
To be honest even for enterprise it's a bit of a marketing figure and therefore easily massaged. Crib death drives? taken out of the equation. Revisions made to the drive's board and firmware? Not reflected in the original mbtf.
power up and down cycles? nah. Product with a short service life? Just use shitloads of drives to get the hours up.
For a good example of this look up the recent debacle with samsung 980 PRO drives. They had the same 2E6 hour quoted mbtf but a firmware fuckup caused them to brick/readonly after writing like 50tb to them.

i dont have that model, but im pretty happy with my kit similar to that i bought a few years ago. They're VERY handy for pc building.

bought
>handful of bike light holders
>new bike saddle, same as the old one, carbon fiber
>new steel cassette
basically maintenance for my street bike and a couple of accessories for my trail bike

>>107179124
I bought an identical set from another brand years ago. Very good for the price and will save your ass when you need some obscure bit.
The steel isn't particularly hard and the small bits (particularly flathead) will be damaged very easily.
The flexible shaft is worse than useless.

>>107179124
The one thing I'd reccomend is if you're going to buy ones with torx bits, just look for the ones that have security torx.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809864639603.html looks to be a pretty good set, but what's your budget?

I got a new desktop chair and a soundbar with a subwoofer for my tv on temu. the desktop chair i got it for 81.92€, they upped the price since i bought it.

>>107180479
Please, PLEASE do a review when you get the chair.
I love it when people buy these things and I read what they feel about it.

Is it weird to buy a motorcycle helmet even though I don't need one and just want to display it? Some of the chink ones looks nice, even though I probably would never use it.

Did I see correctly there existed a coupon code for a 1000USD threshold or did I hallucinate that? Or mix it up with 1000 maple bucks?

that's probably why it squishes everything. turn auto-rot off and use it vertically

perfectly fine for smaller stuff
if you've got really stubborn or hard screws the bits will brittle away, but I always reach for this kit because of the number of bits it has

I have this exact set, it's mediocre. The handle occasionally gets use with my nicer bit set with an electric screwdriver I don't want to break by wrenching on it, the most useful part is the plastic guitar pick spudgers but they're cheap plastic so they deform very easily and need a new edge cut into them.

If you're going to buy bits, don't buy these shiny plated ones, they're all junk. You want the grey ones.

Anyone bought any decent board game stuff off ali? I bought a few things last year and they were mostly alright aside from a ticket to ride game that was so poorly printed that half the colors were wrong.

>>107182957

i was asking this summer to no real responses and got one anyways
it's garbage
it's a toy made to look like a tool.
imagine using your nephews Fisher Price toy tools
except made to look like real tools
i posted a photo at the beginnig of october how the torx bit melted like butter on first use
the handle is flimsy shit
the tweezers are a joke. complete joke.
the spudgers are shit plastic. you can get standalone set for a few bucks anyways.
the demagnetizer is a dinky little thing. though it does kinda work.
the bits are chinesium
it's good enough to hold up for a one time light use and the people put it away
so they think it's good enough. they post a 4 or 5 star review on ali or amazon.
it's not a real tool.
just a toy made to look like tools and may even function well enough for light use.

I'm glad that in the 10 years I've used Ali I never bothered with any of this shit.

>>107183837

Sound fine to me but I'm no audiophile. I wouldn't say I was particularly impressed by them but I'm not disappointed either.

>>107183497
it is pretty reliable. all the same stuff, just optimized on ali's end at warehouses that process faster, and for cheaper.

question for the anons that use the app, have you ever gotten one of those "free" (actualy $0.1 + shipping handling taxes etc) prizes from the trees? other than the hidden fees, what's the catch?

>>107185193
it can be only used on tree page and those items suck?

>>107183460
Contrary to what you might hear, China is very capable of making good quality shit. They are also capable of making bad quality shit. The difference is in QA. Most Chinese brands don't give a fuck about their quality, as long as the shiny pictures on ali can get them your money. They know their brand is useless and will replace it in a heartbeat.

A brand like iFixit does care about their reputation and about QA. They push the factory to make good shit.

>>107185395
And unfortunately, the quality chinese stuff is only marginally cheaper that the quality chinese stuff manufactured white label for a western company.

>>107185193
those items are "free" only if you dont value your time
