>>107409310>headphone headbandOh, that's what those were. I thought they were weird sex things.
Any consensus on a good chink mouse that is equivalent to a Logitech Superlight pro?
>>107410011>Logitech Superlight proLooks like most chink gamer mice
>>107409310>got a HK-DXMICNah I ordered a DXMIC (pic) - 60 degrees directional pickup microphone; but received a HK-ARRAYMIC - omnidirectional 360 degree pickup microphone.>>107409596Lmao the perforated leather certainly looks that way.
Found any cool chingrish lately?
>>107410099anon say what are those microphones for
>>107410099So you got 300 more degrees as a free bonus!Stop complaining, normally you get less than advertised. Chang wanted to be nice to you, but you’re an ungrateful spoiled brat.
>>107410089Looks like the most generic mouse shape in the world.We had some mouse-tism not long agoSee>>107297142>>107303510TL;DR depending on your budget consider one of the following: Scyrox V8, ATK R1 Max Pro, ATK R1, Dragonfly A1, ATK VXE MAD R, ATK F1 ExtremeBut really just decide on a form factor, sensor and maybe polling rate, then anything by scyrox, atk, mchose, VXE that satisfies those will be fine.
>>107410011dunno about logitech but my VXE worked great, and i believe Shark Attack is good too, i know they're just brands but they're the most trusted ones from china afaik
Anyone got experience with cameras for these chink android multimedia?I bought this one 2 years ago and it's pretty great aside from a few small quirks, but the camera when going in reverse has gone to shit. Not sure if liquid got inside or the plastic got scuffed, but it's unusable.Is it possible to order a different camera to replace this one or do you think the chinks only made it work with the one they're selling?
>>107411330This is during nighttime but it isn't any better during daytime either.
>>107410011I got a VXE dragonfly R1 pro max around 2 yrs ago and I don't know how I would compare it to some mouse I've never used, but I can tell you it's perfect in every way, I literally can't think of a thing I dislike about it.
>>107410678I want a desktop usb microphone that will pick my voice but not voices of people nearby to the side. The built-in DSP should filter out sounds based on delay between the microphones, only allowing sounds from the front.Similar thing was integrated into my old motherboard (with bundled stereo desktop mic) and it worked perfectly, but audio beamforming seems to be lost technology these days.I tried RODE camera shootgun mic but it's just a normal cardioid pattern capsule in a phallic shell, voices on the sides are slightly muffled but still audible in recording/call.Also tried some high end creative, asus and logitech webcams that claimed to have stereo directional mic. It certainly was stereo, but not directional at all, picking up everything.
>>107411531cool, please post if you actually find something that works, i am the fag that was asking for webcams for meetings so that would be useful too
>>107411745The company that makes those microphone array modules - Haokai - also makes this webcan that I'd love to try out but can't find anywhere at all.

I bought this San Martin watch a couple months ago and it was perfectly fine, running like +5s/day until last week when some metallic dust came loose under the crystal. Chang from Sanmartin Store didn't want to honor his 2-year warranty because of shipping costs so I spent all night bullying him in the customer service chat. Ended up with a $25 refund + they agreed to reimburse me for local repairs but we'll see how that goes
>>107412629you can collect 5 times not just once lol
>>107413685>reimburse for local repairs.>he thinks they'll actually do that.
>>107413604wonder if chang has any health pills i can buy
>>107410875>>107411409VXE Mad R is way better if its just a 5$ increase since it has optical switches
I have a bunch of $2 off $2.01 coupons from cancelled / delayed packages. Anything good to buy?

Maybe a bit out of scope for this thread but do chinks sell silk pillow covers that are any decent?
>>107415046Like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003338096182.html looks nice but how do I know it's not some plastic abomination?
I need a new 3.5mm cable for my old 2.1 speakers. Originally they had a cable with a volume wheel thing but over time that cable failed. For years I used it with a simple 3.5mm cable I just had to lower the levels for the device in windows. I built a new PC with a new motherboard and seems like the audio on that is shittier or something because it puts some white noise into my speakers with that old setup. I had one of those 3.5mm cables with those ferrite(?) chunks on it and that helped a bit but I can still hear some noise. Would a cable with larger ferrite chunks help? Or do I need something else? I see they also sell those ferrite chunks as clip-ons.
>>107415265>complain about shitty audio chip on pc>wants to use shitty audio jack insteadoh jesus
>>107414401personally I like china and have nothing against changs.its primary function is to filter out normalfaggots like you.

>>107415265You might want to try a ground loop isolator.
Can somebody recommend me a cheap mp3 player with bluetooth support?
>>107415371How about you stop being an asshat and suggest a solution? I have speakers that take a 3.5mm and a port on my motherboard that takes a 3.5mm. It was fine on my old motherboard but I can't go back to it because it was AM4 and the current one is AM5. The speakers themselves are old but work just fine. >>107415512>ground loop isolatorI'll look into it.
>>107415624>How about you stop being an asshat and suggest a solution?There's a couple of reasons why you have shit speakers and can hear a hissing sound.1. Shit speakers. It's old, like you said, so it might have developed the hiss over time. This always happens when using an active speaker. Since you are using a 3.5mm jack I'm assuming you are using an active speaker and not a passive one.2. Your motherboard audio chip sucks. This isn't new, all motherboard chips sucks but they did get better over the years. The downside to this is that it can amplifying the hissing sound of your speakers.3. Using an audio jack is the worst way to plug speakers in because it sends an analog signal to your speakers which is easier for interference to distort the sound.So, a couple of ways to fix this:Get better speakers. This is the expensive method. All active speakers will eventually hiss. But getting passive speakers can get expensive. So your best option is to get speakers and replace them every 15-20 years.Another way to combat this is to send a digital signal instead. Drop the 3.5mm jack and use either optical or USB cables. All modern active speakers should have a USB or optical input. If you are dead set on using an analog signal then RCA > audio jack. Now if you bought an expensive passive speaker that only takes RCA input then you're going to need a DAC to take the digital signal to from your PC, convert it to analog then and send it to an amplifier to power your passive speakers. This is why passive speakers get expensive.So may advice, get better speakers that has optical or USB input.
>>107415265https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008712967391.htmlconsider this. hiss can be a number of things like not enough shielding, or your new board has was too high fidelity and expects a newer audio setup or even a DAC to process it, so your outdated speakers can't handle them or it could be just bad hardwareeither way this external sound card bypasses the motherboard soundcard i think to give you a clean digital signal

Can anyone recommend a good motion sensor cupboard light?Not sure whether to look on Ali or Amazon, but basically want a little light that turns on when the cupboard is opened so you can see inside it better.

>>107411829have you tried in taobao? it is aparently there?https://goods.taobao.com/t/diannaomaikefeng_1528/5fc8944204b3bc8b9ced92ad5b7d254a.htmlI know taobao is kinda a pain in the ass for non suported countries

>>107417698Most stuff is coming from the same sources anyway but I'll tell you how I handle it.Things that I have on my skin, eat or otherwise let get close to my body for longer periods of time I get from bigger brands and reputable shops that have a reputation at risk if they sell shit plus they don't want to get sued.Sure, many of them may get the items from the same source but at least companies that worry about their future put money into frequently checking the material and their opponents sometimes do that too for them in case they fuck up, sell toxic shit and then can start a media outrage on them to take them down.Small fun gadgets or electronic modules? I don't need an expensive middleman here. But anything body related is something I don't buy for pennies on Ali.

>>107418697it's a fuckhueg train robot man! I kept seeing him in my recommendations so I caved in. It's all plastic but hefty, like an oldschool megazord but with good articulation.
>>107416904I have a relative who has a medical condition that results in very shitty circulation and makes it rather important that they never get too cold. They tried all 3, heated vest, heated gloves, heated soles.In their opinion, heated vests rarely put out enough power to make a difference, and it's your torso, so realistically it's already the hottest part of your body. Heated gloves are good, but a pain to do the wiring for in his opinion. Also a big deal if you can get ones that aren't badly made (most are gimmicks).The one thing he does use are heated soles. Again, most cheap ones suck ass though, similar to >>107418602 's reports (though socks are worse than soles).But take a step back and ask yourself why you'd want that. Actively heated adds a shitton of complexity and risk for failure, needs recharging and there's a reason it isn't widespread in areas that are historically cold.Why not read up a bit on layering and the logic behind outdoor clothing (You don't need to actually get outdoor clothing, just understand why), then get clothes that can do that.I guarantee with some basic understanding of layering you can be cozy warm at freezing temps easily without needing to look like an onion.If it's for commuting or something short each day but you don't want the bulk (or frequently switch between warm and cold areas) you can also plan the layering such that you can quickly switch out one or two and go from "surviving in the siberian tundra" to "ready for a meeting in a business casual setting" within a 5 minute bathroom break.If you're interested, look into ECWCS (Just skip to the GenIII layering system), mesh underlayers, and general outdoor layering techniques. DO NOT just copy them, they are for different settings, but understand the why and where.On a related note if you find a decent quality clone of a Brynje mesh base layer on ali, please tag the OP and link it, I've been looking and can't find shit but always wanted one.
>>107415087Hope that someone in the reviews isn't braindead and posts to either confirm or deny that it's silk?
>>107418745oh yeah he's big. Choo choo mfs
>>107418649Most are in the range of $3-6, but some were a little more expensive than that. All of these are from Taobao.>>107418711Original figures are obviously better, but it's also the fact that anime is 2D and figures are obviously 3D. I guess I don't really notice it, because I play 3D hentai games like Koikatsu.
>>107417480Hows the mouth on the sitting down Frieren? I bought one like that from aliexpress and had to scrap off the paint on the mouth cause chang had painted it upside down.
>bought 10 random things from a local store online>more than $60 = free shipping>somehow they are delivering it in 3 separate packages on different days??? has delivery suddenly got super cheap worldwide or something? how can this possibly be economical
>>107418742Featuresets seem similar. I find the screen to be bloat and actually a downside (I'd find it annoying) but that's purely a taste thing.Both have hot swap, both have the connectivity you want.Aluminium plate is nice, but I wouldn't make that the deciding factor.Visually I find the HE65 much nicer, the design on the caps of the f65 reminds me of 2010 piediepie merch, just black instead of red.The big difference is that they come with different switches which is what actually will matter in the end.Picrel is a chatgpt table to compare, no idea if it hallucinated stuff or if it's correct if it was me I'd double check it but I can't be bothered doing it myself right now.Personally I have gatereon browns, which are tactile and have 55g of actuation force, plus 2/4mm travel. But I do like tactile much more and don't care about gaming performance, which seems to put me in the minority. Since you mostly chose linear ones I'm assuming that's not what you care about.
>>107418808How are you searching for and buying these figures on taobao?
>>107418859I use their app. It's available in English. Shipping is where it actually gets tricky.
>>107418833Let me check it.
>>107418833Her mouth seems fine. Not sure about the eyeshade though. I mean, in that price range, minor defects are always to be expected.
>>107418906Yeah that mouth is printed better than the one I got, the red line on mine was somehow printed outside of the grove. It was cheap and fairly easy to fix though so I don't mind.
Anyone ever bought water beads before? If so how long do they last? I want to do something similar to this to my figures.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9e39iFgOeMAlso speaking of figures, do they degrade in water?
>>107419094>do they degrade in water?They're plastic, so yeah?
Kino or bs? Bluetooth phone keyboard.
>>107418711Bootlegs are usually awful compared to legit ones. Good figures from Japan (but still made in China lol) are expensive but you sort of get what you pay for.
>>107418906How often do you hotglue her? You can be honest, we're anonymous here.
>>107419204The one (supposedly legit) figure I ordered from Japan (yes, still made in China) turned out to be worse than some of the bootlegs I own. Idk why. That experience made me reconsider ordering stuff from Japan. I'd rather just order directly from China for a fraction of the price.
>>107419141That's just one of those generic bluetooth ones and a (badly) 3d printed shell to give it a DS form factor.The keyboard is also a grid, and has super small buttons, I don't really see the point.And no you will not have a windows XP like interface, that's just the wallpaper for the listing. It'll just be normal android when you connect mouse and keyboard.I'd say bs, but in the end it's up to what you enjoy.
I'll be traveling to Beijing, Chengdu, and Mianyang next year. Any stuff I should pick up and take back home with me as we only pay 3% duty on anything over $800 in value that fits into our suitcases? I was thinking camera lenses and a good camera since they cost significantly less over there.

Anyone know how to deal with fumes when soldering? I'm in a basement and the only window I have is on the other side of the room.Has anyone tried using a desk fan with a filter on it?
>>107419657>Anyone know how to deal with fumes when soldering?Ideally you don't. Avoid them if you can.>I'm in a basement and the only window I have is on the other side of the room.Not great. The issue is that most of those cheap ones suck ass and are about as good as no filter at all. I'd say if you're tight on money, get a PC fan/desk fan, strap a HEPA filter to it, and maybe some carbon based filter behind that.There exist good ones that suck out air and work like a fume hood, but we're talking hundreds of dollars for those.The ultimate "I'll get cancer but at least later" method is you just have a fan that blows away from you so it doesn't directly blow into your eyes and nose, try to get your soldering done quickly, then vacate the room and open the window to air as much of it out as you can.Ghetto as fuck and not ideal, but it'll at least help.You can also wear a filter mask (I sometimes used to), but I am dubious that actually does anything from a health perspective.
>>107419753>I'd say if you're tight on money, get a PC fan/desk fan, strap a HEPA filter to it, and maybe some carbon based filter behind that.Yeah, this is what I was planning on doing. I'm going to position it so it's directly in front of me, blowing away from me. So it sucks up the smoke immediately. My problem is would a HEPA filter be enough?
>>107419768>My problem is would a HEPA filter be enough?My intuitive answer (not based on actual facts) is no.But this is one of those "great is the enemy of good" situations. Dosage makes the poison, so just because it's not enough to perfectly eliminate everything doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. Ideally you'd get a professional one that acts as a fume hood of sorts. I suspect that's not an option, so alternatively you'd do it somewhere with better ventilation. I assume that's also not an option, so then the question is "what's a reasonable way to help" and fan ->hepa filter -> activated carbon filter should do adequately. Though you'll want to check if then the fan is strong enough and maybe want a DIY shroud so the air has to pass through both stages.
>>107419305Prize figures can be good or bootleg tier. A few scale figure manufacturers are iffy but that's usually reflected in the price. When you get to the stuff that's $100 or more per figure there's a very clear difference. Figure prices have been stupid for the past decade or so though so it's more like $200 for a good scale.
>>107419828Okay, looking at my room I think I can move my set up close to the window whenever I solder. A pain in the ass to do but I think it's better than breathing in toxic fumes.I can probably build a fan connected to a tube that mounts to my window when I solder. Probably better than the HEPA filter.
>>107419884If that's an option, then some cheap dryer vent tubing going to the outside and a PC fan will outperform all the other options I mentioned, 100%.
>>107419904Alright, thanks man.Safety first is my moto.
>>107419920That's probably wise, it's a bit like 3D printers, especially the resin based ones, where it's mildly annoying until the toxins have accumulated too much, and then it becomes a real problem. Protecting your health when young is one of those things that seems hard because you don't really notice anything until suddenly all your friends get issues and you don't when you're older. Godspeed anon.
Anyone got recs for nice, relatively low-cost moustache/beard scissors? Something made with a good steel that stays sharp. Blade length no more than 2 inches.
>>107419657buy an extension cord and do it outside.your health is the only thing you have.
>>107420023It's winter. It's snowing.
>>107420050You need one of these: https://www.amazon.com/KOTTO-Soldering-Absorber-Electric-Extractor/dp/B07ZHH5H7NShit like this is pretty bulky and shipping it to your country would cost an arm and a leg, so I'd buy it locally if I were you.
>>107413685I bought a similar style watch from Escapement Time. The only thing is that I wish it had a metal back and not the glass back. Haven't been able to find anything but I do know the back plate is 39mm.>>107419094Water beads are essentially slightly altered silica gel balls. They will have an upper limit in how much water they can suck up. They still deteriorate because the beads can get damaged or burst.That being said, they'll last a couple months at most if you leave them in a vase like that. They will deteriorate though sunlight and just exposure to water and air. They're pretty fragile when they're pumped full of water.Arguably the biggest hurdle for something like what you're doing is going to be stuff growing in the vase. You're pretty much making a really dirty aquarium, you will get algae growth even with a lid. >>107419920Don't even use a filter. You're trying to extract fumes, you need unobstructed airflow to get the most fumes out. The filter will slow extraction a little bit and there's no benefit other than slightly filtering the air before it goes outside. Completely pointless and you now have a false sense of security.There are airbrush stations for around $100 last time I was looking. They are little fume extractors with fans and a filter that take paint fumes and dump em out a window, take the filter out and it's pretty good. Might be a good solution?
>>107420084Was thinking of just making one myself and pump the air outside.
>>107419657I suggest buying a fume extractor, look up "fume extractor soldering" on Amazon and get one of the 30 to 40 dollar ones. They're not perfect but it's a lot better than letting that shit go right into your face.

>>107420264There are 100% bots on 4cuck. I've seen a few replies that were clearly generated by chatGPT or some shit, but thankfully some janny saw them too and banned the faggot. And that made me wonder how many posters on here are actually bots that were trained on 4chan posts and are indistinguishable from real posters.
>>107419224I just got the figure today.
>>107420370ATK Z1 Ultra or Darmoshark Nereus N5.
>>107420370Read all the links in >>107410775
>>107420440I own both and the ATK one is the best chink mouse I've owned. Super lightweight too. The other one is pretty lightweight too, which I like. I just feel like I perform better in FPS games where precision matters with them.
how do you guys feel knowing 80% of what you buy (i'm estimating on average, for everyone here) is just future landfill
>>107420440Not that guy but I had the ATK Z1.I did not like it since I went from a Logitech G600 to it. I was so used to using a heavy mouse that it felt off. It also felt small in my hand.If you're using some basic bitch mouse then it's pretty close to the size and weight. It's good for shooter games where you need to move the mouse quickly but I don't play those games so it doesn't suit me. I went back to my G600 mouse.Battery life is okay. I haven't had it for long to know how good the battery is or know how easy it is to replace one.
>>107416904I had one when I was doordashcucking. I ditched it after few weeks. Heated gloves and shoe pads were bit better, but still meh.

Some of my christmas orders arrived.>Wooden animal puzzle (2.87€)Better than expected. The backplate is adequate, the paint is consistent and most importantly, the tolerances on the pieces are loose, meaning there's some play. Great for toddlers still struggling with motor control, too tight would be bad for that.>Wooden animal box (6.30€)Probably my highlight in this set. Each figurine looks pretty cute, it comes with a bunch of cards with suggestions how to stack them as challenges, and even some wood with a slot as a card holder. While the toddler is too young they can just play with the animal figurines, then in half a year or a year they can start stacking them. One of the plastic latches is broken which is a shame, but what can you do.I fear I have introduced a great evil into my sibling's life though, in that getting all the figurines back into the box once they are out is surprisingly hard (took me 3 tries kek). So the parents might hate me for it. Then again given the broken latch they'll likely not use the box much anyways.>401 and 495 glue (1.20€ each)These are for me. I already have some 401 glue and it works amazingly well, for insanely cheap, so I got a refill and some 495 for where you don't want to use 401. Given the highway robbery local stores do with "superglue" (legitimately 1€/g or 1000€/kg) this is a must own.>RC diecast models (11.20€ each)The quality is great. They have a small and simple suspension, front and back lights, and 3 different speed settings. The remotes are also paired to only their device, so all 3 work at once without interfering thankfully. Charged via USB-C and the model itself still looks good without power. The only downside is they aren't that fast. You'll definitely want to have a course with tighter corners or some obstacles to have fun, for a straightforward race they just don't get fast enough to make it exciting. Then again for indoor they are fast enough in my opinion.No real stinkers in the order, nice
>>107420370>>107417707mchose g3 ultra is you like that shape
>>107420012It's no joke that issues suddenly start showing up once you go past 30. If anyone here is still younger than that start taking care of yourself early. That doesn't mean you have to live a boring life. Just do the unhealthy things in moderation and make sure to include the healthy things. Exercise is probably the biggest thing.I really would want to get 3d printers but I don't have a space for them where I wouldn't have to worry about the fumes. Such is life living in a small box.
>>107421135>I really would want to get 3d printers but I don't have a space for them where I wouldn't have to worry about the fumes. Such is life living in a small box.Thankfully 3d printers have gotten fairly small (a1 mini for example), but yeah personally I stay the fuck away from resin on principle, and even with fdm the particulate matter they produce is substantial. I'm lucky in that I have a "guest/living room" that I rarely use where I can print in and air it out, but without it I'd worry too.You can look into those setups with plastic grow tents around a 3D printer that some people do (or get an enclosed one to begin with), but that takes space again.Thankfully you can print for pretty cheap these days from various services and there's a high chance a local university or library has open access printers for a material fee too.
>>107420306>>107420306Bot training here started some years ago. I remember it on /vg/ especially where a bunch of threads were invaded by posters that made absolutely no fucking sense. They would reply to a post but talk about something entirely unrelated or sometimes pure nonsense.
Chang offical nubia store made up a fake story that he doesnt have any in stock because something "is wrong with the 1tb model" and that the "OnePlus supplier" doesnt have any (ironically its a nubia phone, nothing to do with OnePlus at all). Chang is asking me to cancel my order for the nubia Z80 phone. I bought it for $585 with coupon for the 1 tb model, I think it was a glitch price because it is normally around $900-1000. If I ignore chang and dont cancel, and keep extending the delivery date do you think he will fold and send it anyways? Or will he send a fake item/fake tracking label?

>>107419547>$50 in creditswhathow?
>>107421185Lots of resin printers ship with some sort of filter but it's still not something I'd want to have in my living space. Using a service or going somewhere else is just not the same. Having one for yourself would turn it into a tinkering hobby. I can imagine myself experimenting and printing all sorts of weird stuff if I had one but going through the effort of having someone else print it for me is too much for stuff that isn't strictly needed.
>>107419657>Has anyone tried using a desk fan with a filter on it?SortaIt's not ideal but it half works if you need something really basicYou can get desk fume extractors for like 8 bucks on Ali. But honestly I'd do what >>107420114 said. I got one of the desk ones and it has to be really close to do anything, wish I bought a bigger one desu
if it's been 5 days since my order, and the seller hasn't shipped and is one of those "choice" sellers so you can't even contact them, is it ogre?
>>107421499>Using a service or going somewhere else is just not the same. Having one for yourself would turn it into a tinkering hobby. I can imagine myself experimenting and printing all sorts of weird stuff if I had one but going through the effort of having someone else print it for me is too much for stuff that isn't strictly needed.I mean it depends on what you need. I'd agree for rapid prototyping which is what I use mine for, the turnaround of mail order prints is far too slow to make it viable, arguably even going to the library an waiting for a time slot is still a hassle. But if you just want a print here or there, then it's fine.Do keep an eye out for the enclosed ones (most mid market and higher ones these days are) or a grow tent shrouded one then, might be a solution for your situation.
>>107421317The oldfags here will remember just before captcha was added there was a worm called 4chan.js that spread by downloading images from here and opening them. Well the script kept evolving and it culminated in 4chan.hta which was also a worm but it was advanced enough to be able to piece together sentences from other posts and slip through the rudimentary spam detection.The scary part was that quite often it was able to create coherent posts. Obviously there was no real machine learning going on but it was still spooky.You might have seen this referenced in one of the rotating banners at the top of the page (pic related) I dunno if they still use it tho.That took place like 15-16 years ago now so it's been going on a long time and I think LLMs have amplified the problem dramatically.Anyone who thinks this place is any different from reddit or facebook in terms of glowie involvement and botfarm psyops is woefully naive.
>>107420665no but i mean it's ok to buy some plastic things if it's really worth it, like say a fleece jacket that you actually use every other day. but most of the stuff here it's used a few times if any, then forgotten about. and even then, the buyer could have done without the stuff anyway, it's not something they actually neednot to diss this anon, but take the very next post to yours >>107420771to be fair it looks mostly not plastic, but it does look like future landfill basically
>>107420495Usually the things I buy are things that extend the life of what I already have or are disposable generally. Things like shoe heel taps, tube squeezers, hair ties, etc. I go through a lot of these things, I don't buy anything that I wouldn't have otherwise.
>>107422427>>107420495>to be fair it looks mostly not plastic, but it does look like future landfill basicallyNigga everything you buy is future landfill, it's just a question of how much time there's between the purchase and the landfill. No reddit "buy it for life" basedpogging will change that fact with maybe the notable exceptions of cast iron pans if you wanna larp as a trad outdoorsman. You (as in the "dae china le bad" poltards and the "chinese items = bad quality" npc sheeple) are the vegans of 4chan except vegans at least technically have a point, not that that makes them any less annoying to deal with.

can china make ram?can china save us from the Jews?
>>107417480wow ugly figures i shit hard
>>107422800Given their track record when it comes to any kind of storage they would sell you "1TB" of RAM for 30 dollars and when you install it you'll be running a cool 512MB.
>>107422754It is so dogshitI've been going on "buy now" on like every item to see what my coin discount isI don't know why they'd do this. Can you revert to an older version of the app or anything? This is completely useless now. I was trying to finish off an order that already took me an age to finalise and then I couldn't even figure out the best shit to add. Pretty sure I ended up overpaying in the end.
>>107422800I know it's ddr4 so it doesn't really count, but I've been using picrel for a while now without any issues.Chinese ram is decent.That being said the chinese are not immune to market pressures, if the AI companies buy up all the ram, and the prices rise because of that, then they'll adjust accordingly (maybe slightly less to funnel purchases to them, but that's it)
>>107422863Think i bought a 16gb ddr4 stick for 40€ from amazon
>>107422860I doubt there's way to revert. I think the interface is web based or something.They were AB testing this as early as this summer. So it's been in the works for a while. The nail in the coffin was probably the massive coin dump during this event. Everybody should have around 20000 coins by now easy. It was fun while it lasted. No way sellers are going to be selling at discounts like this to everyone.
>>107422992That pic makes it a bit hard to understand but that's not 16GB as 2x8GB, it's 32GB in the form of 2x16GB.Still not a giant leap from cheaper local sources (at the time kek), but enough I felt it warranted the risk. Now that I haven't had any issue for a long time I'd say it was worth it.
>>107423023Yeah same it was a set of 2 16gb but it was prob closer to 50€
>>107423281In that case that sounds like a great deal, nice.
Related to christmas shopping I am still looking for 4 gifts at least: and would appreciate ideas:>Aunt and her husbandBoth are in the 60-70 range and I rarely see them. I have no fucking idea what to gift people like that. I already did the defaults (alcohol rocks/reusable straws).>SistersOne is 40, the other 35. We decided years ago that christmas gifts between us siblings are limited to 5€, though due to inflation up to 10€ is fine. Bookmarks and book holders are already done sadly.Last year I made chili jam from homemade chilis, I have some this year too, but I don't want to just do the same again and I hot sauce is risky as my sisters are pussies when it comes to heat (due to their children hating anything hot they don't really eat heat anymore either).The year before that it was homemade mulled wine bags plus the reading stuff.This year I'm all out of ideas.I already have something for my parents in their late 60s, but birthdays for them are coming up too so if you had some ideas, always appreciated.
>didn't even want anything >spent close to £200 on Ali anyway>I got shopping credits so I'll be ordering more even though I just ordered everything I needed. FIX ME FOR I CAN NOT FIX MYSELF
>>107422863what do you mean it doesn't count?everyone is going to be moving back to ddr4 now that ddr5 is basically only for industrial
>>107423005>Everybody should have around 20000 coins by now easyTell me how because I only get my coins from daily logins like a good boy
>>107422800>>107423511>>107423124
>>107423497Everyone crying online is crying mostly about ddr5 prices.But it doesn't take a genius to realize that if all the ddr5 becomes financially unviable for a while, more people will go to ddr4, which means more buyers, which means higher prices until production reaches equilibrium again. This is less strongly the case due to ddr4 and 5 being physically different and not cross compatible, but at least some people will change consumption habits because of it and that'll affect ddr4 prices too.

Other figure autist here.Holy shit, does this one look good.Looks nicer and feels more quality than some of my actual legit scale figures.Can't really call it a bootleg cuz it's not a copy of any licensed figure, but it was the price of a bootleg.Really, don't have much to say other than this being the best quality one I got so far.The Wakamo one impressed me on how detailed it was, but this one definitely feels the most premium.Here's the link: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006509601578.htmlThey have a Rei as well and while I don't really like her all that much I might just get her just because of how much of good deal this Asuka was.

Just a little tip if you guys have fee free currency conversion cardsIf you're a little off on a spend and save voucher or coupon threshold, just change the currency. For example here in Bongland if there's a £5 off £30 voucher, in the US it will be $5 off $30. Which means if your cart is £27, it'll be over $30 and coupon eligible if you switch to USDNow, $5 off isn't the same as £5 off, but what I've found is paying in USD is often cheaper than GBP anyway so it balances out in this scenario.
Is it true sellers get penalize 10% of the order if they dont ship within 48 hours?Because the seller from my post here is trying to get me to cancel my order but I really want them to ship it out so I'm ignoring their message. >>107421353I guess they will eat the $58 dollar pentalty if they dont ship it out.
