New LTT video mentioned gizmos to gift to people, and at 3:47 they mention the heroclip (see picrel).I really like the idea, but I ain't paying 30$ for that shit if it's plastic at the hinge (the most stressed part) anyways.Ali has what looks pretty similar for ~4$ https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006561929475.html for a 5cm and ~5$ for a 7cm version. The 5cm version is definitely to small to be any useful, 7cm is right at the border (though bigger would be better). It seems like a more versatile and less feminine version of those foldable table bag hooks that women often carry (random listing: https://aliexpress.com/item/4000174675891.html ).Any other ideas what terms to search for for something that does a similar job, but better? If not I'll probably get one of the 7cm ones I mentioned. Sounds handy.
Ordering from ATK directly is some scary shit. Item arrived at my local delivery company, but the tracking for air haul they used was so ass I was getting scared I'd get scammed.
a seller sent me a strange meme
>>107437994Pretty creepy.
>>107437994The face also implies what happens if you don't like it.
>>107438330>>107437994Whatever it is it seems popular and part of a whole collection. Think of it like our old meme templates except it's low res monochrome human faces shopped onto stuff."Panda head" for pandas, mushroom head for something similar to yours, and many more.Seems to be their wechat shitposting.Wish my chinese was better so I could enjoy these more, I love stuff like that.
>>107438428>>107437994It seems to basically be rage comics style and the term "蘑菇头" or "mushroom head" keeps pooping up, which seems to be both a descriptor for the hairstyle (a bowlcut) and the name of the meme. If you search for it you find a LOT.
>>107438428>>107438475y'all never heard of messenger stickers?..
>>107438546I know of the concept, but where I live noone uses them except boomers using facebook hugging animals (on whatsapp that is, on telegram they are used).This is more than just a sticker though, it seems to be a established meme, like pepe or wojack etc.
>>107438583people usually make sticker packs out of popular stuff
>>107433221I have a couple of cheap USB-C to aux dongles and the Apple one. One of ali ones simply doesn't work and the other one stops transmitting after there's been a handful of seconds of silence and when it starts transmitting again it eats up the beginning of the signal. I wanted them to listen to ASMR while in bed for fear of accidentally destroying the Apple one while asleep but it's not fucking good because it loses the first syllable or two at the beginning of sentences.Apple one works fine and audio quality is a bit better.
>>107434519I have only ever used the Sena 3S and the Cardo Packtalk Edge, can't personally compare them to cheap ones.The Packtalk Edge is so much better than the 3S it's not even funny.Audio quality is miles better, there's wind and noise cancellation (not active noise cancellation for you, it just doesn't transmit the noise to other riders) which works very well, battery lasts a lot longer, it just werks when connecting to other riders no matter, what when you initially meet up it connects automatically and if you get separated and lose signal it reconnects no problem, the Sena 3S managed to reconnect sometimes but not always, the distance at which it's effective is significantly bigger and works better around corners or when there's no LOS (it's not magic either, if there's a fuckhueg mountain between you and nothing the signal can bounce off of it won't work or a big lorry or other metal obstacle can act as screen, but it's noticeably better), supposedly supports 16 riders but I've only ever tried it with 4 (everyone on an Edge) but the 3S natively only supports 2 although you can trick it to connect 3.A friend I sometimes ride with has a cheapo one and his signal quality is shit, it makes a lot of noise when it's about to lose signal and if it loses it it doesn't reconnect at all.Yeah, it's much more expensive, but I ride with mates almost exclusively and being able to communicate makes the ride twice as enjoyable. We started on the 3S because it was cheaper and sleeker but when we realised just how important it is, we decided to get the best there was and I don't regret it at all.Motorcycling is expensive by itself and it doesn't make sense to cheap out on something that makes the experience so much better.
>>107434519>>107438942Forgot to mention, regarding the walkie talkie solution.Distance is not the most important quality, I don't think. Generally, probably, you'll be riding pretty close to each other so it's really a non-factor. When there's no LOS I suppose a walkie talkie will work better because it's more powerful but again, if the signal can't bounce against something because you're on the side of a mountain, it doesn't matter how powerful the emitter is.Audio quality is much more important and the fact that the Edge doesn't transmit wind noise makes it much, much better.And you can also listen to music when by yourself. The speakers are bretty good.

>>107435680> heroclip So you can clip in the rope when you’re an hero? Doesn’t look like it would be solid enough for that. You’d just be pissed that you wasted almost 30$ for a failed suicide attempt. With the AliExpress version you’d waste less money, but you would still be very much alive. I’d just get some random climbing grade carabiner from an outdoor store, nothing fancy, probably as low as 5$, with a 22kn breaking load that’s even gonna hold a suicidal burger.

The headphones themselves are a little stinky and I got them only for the headband to then be disappointed since my modded KSC75's don't fit due to the 3D printed MMCX housing being too thick around the clip area. The headband itself is okay and it doesn't stink, so if you're planning on getting a cheapo headband thenhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006373614828.htmlGot these in plans for the KSC75's but in the end I've put them on my PortaPro's for the time being. They're Poyatu earpads, cheap and good. Orange is more retro looking though.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008549995304.htmlWanted a little pill case for caffeine pills. There were either fancy bird/butterfly designs or this one so I went with something that suits me more. The plastic inside is odorless and the metal has a mirror finish. Could also work for a Norman Stansfield LARP.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006836784451.htmlI wanted to have a quick release for the SAK thingmajigs but unfortunately adding anything else to the pocket clip makes it too long and it just sits at the bottom of my pocket. Will have to test drive it a bit more, but the quick release itself is good. Small, takes little force to release but otherwise holds on tight.

Not what I wanted to see so I guess I'll have to get some proper AWG28 somewhere else for my dumb beginner projects.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007272752496.htmlSomething for a Christmas present. The spoons themselves are very small so at best these are tea stirrers.
>>107439890>>107438922Alright i'm retarded when it comes to this but my 5 minutes of research tell me i don't need a dongle with an actual audio chip shit thing in it because oneplus phones have one?? and can just use a usb c to 3.5 converter thing???
>>107443626Every phone has an audio chip, the dedicated dongle ones are just generally better.>>107438922Which buds/IEMSs did you get for ASMR?I already find regular IEMs uncomfortable as it is, can't imagine lying on my side with them on.
>>107443626huh apparently USB-C can actually transmit analog audio, I had no idea
>>107443692>Every phone has an audio chip, the dedicated dongle ones are just generally better.Well from what i read if you have a samsung or other popular brand phone without an audiojack, you will need a dongle with a decoder chip thing or it just wont work
>>107443696that only works on certain phones, it is not part of the usb spec, the connector is just being missused (those phones are normally usb2 phones so there are a lot of pins left unused on the usb-c connector)
>>107442308It was a PS4($200), PS3($50), Switch($200), PSVita($250), and N3DS($250).After buying it I immediately had buyers remorse.
>>107444196Why, just why?
>>107443534>The rubber coating smellsI have this. It went away after a while. Its only smellz.>is extremely flexibleIt's silicone, of course it's flexible.
>>107444251>It's silicone, of course it's flexible.Right, should've paid attention. Wanted something stiffer.
>>107444196goddamn, half of these can be emulated i'm surewow. i have like buyers anxiety where i instantly feel bad after buying a big ticket item and you did 4 things at once
>>107444428Only one that's sort of understandable is the 3DS because of the 3D features (that I'm sure suck).The rest you can emulate them all or they have no games (PS4)

>>107444327The real question is if it really is copper rather than aluminum wire.
are chink natural gas and co detectors any good?
>>107444985I'd assume the natgas ones would be if from a trusted company like fnirsi. CO2 is much more difficult to measure.
>>107443692> Every phone has an audio chipnot true at all. many phones do not have an audio chip.>>107438922As you've discovered, the Apple one is the best^1 and the price is surprisingly good for Apple. I'd suggest buying a spare, and keeping your phone on your nightstand instead of in bed.^1: see the review at https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-apple-vs-google-usb-c-headphone-adapters.5541/, anything significantly better is literally $200 more>>107444985Hell no I wouldn't trust anything from Ali with my life. Buy something properly designed and tested from a reputable retailer
>>107441362It's explicitly NOT for climbing kek, just for hanging shit from stuff. That'd be suicidal with a plastic hinge on the load bearing part (more than normal csg climbing gear would already be suicidal)

My mom has some chinkshit phone, Xiaomi I think and she wants a smartwatch for Christmas. All she wants is notifications and NFC payments. Should I just get her some Xiaomi watch? Or are there better options at around 150 eurobucks and lower?
>>107445806Get a Mi Band from Xiaomi, probably the best bang for your buck and has those features.
>>107445820That's a band not a watch. If she's getting something she's getting the best bang for buck I can get her, not the cheapest horseshit I can find. She has low requirements but I still want something nice for her, not just to give her whatever so I can shut her up.

>>107445881It's wearable on your wrist and it tells time as the primary function. It's a watch. Calm down.
>>107445885>>107445806i bought a fitbit versa 2 a few years ago and it's smaller in size for women and dainty wristsmy one had nfc for tap and pay. nowdays it uses google wallet and pairs to visa/mastercard
>>107445939You can't pay with that shit and if you can then it's through some shitty 3rd party app.
>>107445955>You can't pay with that shitwrong.>if you can then it's through some shitty 3rd party appHe doesn't use chinese wepay in the year of our lord 2025 (only the cn version binquilin)
>>107446000>>107445955Memery aside, I think the newer versions allow both for xiaomi pay (not what your mother will use so irrelevant), and just normal wallet, meaning she can use her visa/mastercard.Double check that though before I'm talking shit.Then again you seem to dislike the idea of it a-priori, so whatever.For reasonably priced smart watches the samsung one was decent, but it has issues with chinese phones (my father has a huawei with it), so probably not recommended.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007654538324.htmla chinese fan. material is plastic from the slats to the leaves which are some sort of paper/plastic combinationi bought it while looking for some sort of fidget toy and couldn't find one i wanted. opening and closing it gives a sort of tactile vibration when each slat folds onto the one next to itthe downside is that this fan is very cheap (not pricewise). the very middle slat gets stuck and doesn't fold neatly and one of the sticks was splitting from itself as soon as i got it. i can't open and close it with one hand which also sucks. on the flipside it cools you down so it's not for looks only. 1.29 from bundlesalso still looking for some sort of metallic fidget toy like a lighter with a magnetic lid. or maybe a toy switchblade? suggestions welcome
>>107446544>that it does not come with a temperature sensorA temperature sensor is just a resistance measurement of a probe with a linear model to get the heat. Do you actually think you're likely to use it? I don't think I have ever used mine to measure temps.

>>107444216PS3 emulation isn't there yet.PS4 emulation is at its infancy.PSVita because I had a PSP and it broke. I wanted it mainly for the nostalgia.Same with the 3DS. Had a normal DS and my parents gave it away. I wanted one back.I am dumb.>>107444428Some games I want to play, like really niche Japanese games don't run on emulator. And there are no patches for them because it's a niche Japanese game. If it was a AAA game then chances are it works on an emulator but there's like 10% of stuff I want to play that just doesn't work.Was it worth spending $900 on, fuck no.
>>107447509>pain in the ass to grip and apply torquePicrel is youGenuinely though, the small ones aren't for high torque, they are for electronics which barely if ever should need high torque. Any torque would also ruin the cheap metal in >>107446766 for the bits probably. For high torque you want a beefier tool.Unrelated but if you often struggle with stuck screws and that's why you need the high torque, get yourself a JIS impact screwdriver. You'll thank me.
>>107447727i always found funny to use a hammer to unscrew an stuck screw
>>107447727>for electronics which barely if ever should need high torquegeneraly i would agree with you, except for screws that have blue thread locker on them, which is almost all of the ones in laptops (and shit like that that you cant heat up to break the bond). its all so tiresome
>>107447778Those fucking suck ass, I'll admit that. Many electronics screwdrivers that aren't made of pure chinesium actually will have a hex part on one side of the handle though, so you can use that to increase torque. Wouldn't do that with csg bits though kek.>>107447766Hammer or heating both are nice. But if you ever had one of those bastard screws that really struggle (and you haven't stripped it yet so you don't yet need a screw extractor) then an impact screwdriver is actually dark magic.
>>107447778oh snap, you just reminded me that i stripped the ridiculously micro screws on my laptop fanmaybe this screwdriver has something for it
>>107447813>Hammer or heating both are nice. But if you ever had one of those bastard screws that really struggle (and you haven't stripped it yet so you don't yet need a screw extractor) then an impact screwdriver is actually dark magic.chang nowadays sell inductor heaters for really nuts for like 150 bucks, and shit which you would be able to diy for way less
>>107447846really stuck nuts
>>107447846Wouldn't an inductor require the screw to stick out a little so you can inject (for lack of a better word) the magnetic field into the screw?I'd fear I would overshoot the heat range I'm looking for and fuse the fucked up screw to the part kek.
>>107447866is mostly for nuts, but if you do in a screw it may work directly bc it burns whatever made it stuck and if you let it cold, the movement may unstuck it
>>107447727JIS is a meme.Here's what you have to do with shit-ass Phillips-type heads: replace them with hex or Torx screws.Now, how to get them out in order to replace them? You need to grind down the tip of the screwdriver because often times chink screws don't follow the standard and the drive face isn't deep enough so the tip of the screwdriver reaches the bottom and the flanges don't engage properly.I think people also tend to use a size too small for the task. PH1 isn't the right one until you get to about 3mm in diameter, who knows really because chink screws don't follow the standard, and PH0 shouldn't be used on bigger than d=2mm screws. A PH2 screwdriver might have a thick handle and a long shank and so I reckon people think it's too big for what seems like a relatively small screw.
>>107448054>JIS is a meme.I feel very strongly about the fact that that's wrong.>You need to grind down the tip of the screwdriver because often times chink screws don't follow the standard and the drive face isn't deep enough so the tip of the screwdriver reaches the bottom and the flanges don't engage properly.Nigga that's part of the design of the phillips heads. They are meant to fail to prevent stripping. And while your DIY mod might help, that really shouldn't be necessary.Is torx/hex better? Sure. But I live in a world where those aren't the common ones, so I gotta deal with that. Phillips suck ass, and as long as I used them I struggled with set screws all the time.JIS assumes the user to not be retarded and lacks that auto-fail feature. Sure that means you can strip the screw if you're using retard levels of torque, but most of the time it just means you manage to extract the piece of shit screw instead.All I can say is since I got myself a JIS impact screwdriver I haven't had a single set screw I couldn't remove.
>>107448116>ISO 8764:(>JIS B4633:OThere's no practical difference between the standards. JIS is a meme.Now, don't get me wrong. I do have a couple of Vessel Megadora Impacta screwdrivers and a bunch of other Vessel screwdrivers because they are nice screwdrivers, but it's not the about standard.The cam out thing is a myth too. It's just a shit design. Maybe, later on, someone came up with the cam out cope to justify it but the only redeeming quality of Phillips, or any other cruciform head, is their self-centering ability, which for manufacturing might be important but for servicing, if you're not in a big hurry, it doesn't matter all that much.
>>107448235>but it's not the about standardI'll freely admit anon that I have no goddamn ideas about the actual standard, I just know that the screwdrivers usually sold at my local hardware store don't work and the JIS ones do. If that's quality, standard, or just coincidence I'll concede I have no idea about.
Do I have any recourse if with 5 days left to ship, the seller cancelled and refunded my order suddenly?I wouldn't mind so much but I used a shit ton of coins, a bunch of shopping credit, spend and save, and even a Paypal £7 off £70 or something. Add to all that a cashback site had 25% cashback which tracked. £100 item that would have worked out £53 all said. I looked and there's nothing even close to the price I ended up paying anymore, when during BF there were a few here and there that were similar and had the promotions active. To make it all sadder it was a bootlego kit and I ordered a light set for it which has now shipped.
you know you got a good deal when after your purchase the item is suddenly out of stock or not available in your country anymore. funny how often this happens after coin+coupon discountmaxxing
>>107448910Or suddenly free shipping becomes $10 shippingafter discountmaxx raiding. Happens with me pretty often.
I propose an addendum to the number one /csg/ rule.>1st rule of /csg/: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.>And if it actually is true, Chang will simply not ship.

realme Buds Air 728 euros after coupon, just arrivedMy previous was JLab Go Air POP which I got like 3 years ago for about the same amount of money, maybe even a bit more.The realme blows them out of the water. Sound quality, bass, reliability of bluetooth connection, it has ANC, and supposedly way better battery life.If I had a complaint it's that I wish the case had a % of how full the battery is, and I wish it was easier to open with just one hand.Idk if it's the best you can get for the money, but it's a good product that's easy to recommend. I'm glad I got the one with the transparent top, I think it looks good.
>>107452249Obviously not a deal breaker, but this text on the back with weird kerning and generic font is also something I'm not a fan of. It would look better without it.

>>107450416>You stacked so much discounts that are all over by now. Maybe you can beg AliExpress support to give you back the credits.:(Why would they treat me like this I am a loyal customer. All the sales are over. Even the 20% cashback I've rarely seen. And the odd thing is paying anything more than I did just seems too expensive for me now for the bootlego, but I'm now compelled to buy it because the light kit for it already shipped.

Some more stuff from HaulLittle cases that are supposedly for cables. Controller case. It's ok but was misadvertised. It's supposed to have a strap inside to hold your controller in place but doesn't. Seems to be a common thing across Ali and Haul. 3 pairs of scissors. The purple and silver ones are for kitchen use.Unironically,is it safe to use these bros? They're meat scissors, for cutting through chicken, bones, vegetables and stuff. The silver ones are actually quite hefty and feel decent enough. Links to both of themhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-Stainless-Kitchen-Scissors-Purple/dp/B0DYDR88B3https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duty-Stainless-Steel-Kitchen-Scissors/dp/B0FHWF4VQSAdvice anons?
>>107456672I don't care about the scissors, give me the link for the controller case.
>>107456687https://www.amazon.co.uk/Controller-Carrying-Travel-Universal-Nintendo/dp/B0DSZQ1W8JThere's more choice on Ali if you look there though and they're cheaper with coins. I've just ordered another 2 from Ali which I'm hoping have a strap. Could review after
>>107453490I'm the guy who wrote that section in the guide.The reason it's worded like that is because I got a 117 in 1 kit and it was quite decent, then some other anon got a 115 in 1 and said it was dogshit. We got talking and he posted some bits and indeed, they were dogshit (offcenter holes in bits and shit)So then I felt uncomfortable recommending anything that wasn't what I had gotten.What you posted looks nice. Look at reviews of atrocious bits and if there are none, as long as you are willing to accept that it won't work well on high torque uses (which the alternatives won't either), then go ahead.
>>107456672>Unironically,is it safe to use these bros?Depends on the material and lubricant they used. If it's cheap stainless you're likely fine. If there's some sort of oily residue around the hinge, that's lubricant, and I'd probably try to remove it and use something else to lube it up.But if I were you, I'd use them after a good wash.
>>107456035>and if you step on wood/tile there's a chance you'll create suction with the floorShoes with a rng chance every step to stick to the floor and make you fall on your face? These sound like a funny as fuck white elephant gag gift then kek.
>>107456465You need to be clearer about what you mean by cheap and what you mean by good sensor.Good enough for usage on a work laptop? Good enough for casual gaming? Good enough for competitive gaming? You can find the R1 SE Plus for ~25€ on bundles. You can go cheaper (though not much). You can also pay a little more for a substantially better sensor. Somewhere in the 20-40€ range is going to be your sweetspot.

>>107454917Whats the thing with livestreams?
Which button do I click on if I want to dispute the seller's damage control?(The guy is lying about the scooter charger, claiming it has fancy pansy "3 stage intelligent charging" at 3amp Bulk phase for each charger, even though the charger's stickers say 2amp max, and the charger's sticker is legally required to state 3amp if it actually had some hidden 3amp mode.)
>>107457953If I click Reject all, it leads to this menu.I don't know what the hell aliexpress is trying to convery with this.I just want to upload further arguments for why seller is wrong.
>>107435481A couple threads ago asked about a cheap AAA battery penlights, in the end I ended up ordering the literal cheapest aliexpress one. Paid 0.81 USD europoor tax included in the "buy 3 items" bundle. All in all I'm pleasantly surprised, it's fairly bright and built solid (seems to be fully made of aluminium). The round transparent piece and the reflector are of course plastic. Dunno yet how long it goes on a single cell but we're talking AAAs here so it won't be long regardless of who and where made it. The main caveat at this price seem to be the contact surfaces, obviously none of them were gold plated (or anything-plated), and from my experience with cheap flashlights I can tell this is gonna be a problem sooner or later when the surfaces wear down/oxidize causing poor electric contact. But at this price it's fine, really.There's also a dual AAA version but I wanted a short one.
>>107458054Damn you lucked out, I once got a piss cheap flashlight and it was beyond ass, full plastic body, not bright yet somehow got hot, and broke within a week.Yours looks solid. Nothing fancy, but despite what flashlight autists say, most people who need a flashlight don't need anything fancy, they just need something that produces light.
>>107458087Yeah it feels solid, we'll see how long it last but there really doesn't seem to be anything in there that'd break immediately. As I said, main problems will be contact surfaces, and naturally it's not water or splash or probably even too-much-moisture-in-the-air proof but it's be insane to expect that.
>>107445685based
>>107458113The big issue with a AAA one will be battery life if it truly is bright. The contact surfaces won't last forever, but realistically a thread will do a okay job at keeping moisture out. Sure not as good as a gasket, but I doubt it'll be a big problem in the next 1-2 years unless you are in an unusually humid area.Hope it lasts you a long time anon.
>>107457953You still don't understand how chinks workHaving 75% of the claimed capacity is already pretty honest for chinks. Pretty sure they all go the batteries from the same factory and nobody complained until you did, that's why they are so insistent on being right.
>>107458150Looking at the construction I'd say some level of waterproofing could be achieved if one added some gaskets, orings in certain places. As for battery life, not expecting it to last long - my main reason for going AAA was for it to not be a fire hazard with cheapo chink built-in LiPO cells many cheap flashlights come with - naturally I was aware there will be a trade-off with battery life.As of now I don't know yet if it works with NiMH cells, that'd certainly be helpful, but a single AAA is already just 1.5V, so going down to NiMH's 1.2V might be asking for too much.
>>107458193I've seen LED flashlights that accept either 3 AAA or 1x 18650. I just don't know which ones are good. NiMH's x3 is 3.6V, very close to Lithium-ion and they stay steady that way until near empty.
>>107458174You're not even helping with the question.
>>107457999i believe if you reject, you will be brought back into negotiation with the sellerpressing "ask ali" will end it and they will do the final judgement (i think, i haven't disputed in years)
>>107458307They politely wrote a whole paragraph to tell you get lost. Reject all then, your account standing will get hit, all his friends will put you on a list and won't sell related products to you.
>>107458270I wanted a small one but not a LiPO one so AAA was really the only way to go I believe. I might order the 2xAAA one in the future when I do a bundle purchase again though.>>107458150>>107458054I've measured the current draw and it's pulling 0.8 amps from the battery which is indeed a lot for an AAA, it'd probably get quite dim after an hour of use with an alkaline cell. That's fine for my use case though where it's gonna be lit for a minute or two at most at a time.
>>107458358I clicked "Keep original proposal" here>>107457999and the system fucked me up and didn't allow me to upload new evidence.I should have clicked "Change proposal" to be allowed to post new evidence.No matter, I managed to get customer support and uploaded evidence via them.
>>107457203No they're from aliexpress.
>>107458359are all these veiled threats evn necessary?What are you hoping to gain by posting this shit?
>>107458463He's wasting his time on something that the seller would not change his position, he won't get much out of it except chargeback and his account banned, unless he wants to ship it back which is a bigger hassle. He's posting his futile attempt at something petty on the grand scheme of things since all chink does that, so he will get the same result on another seller. I'm just posting my opinion on his pointless endeavor.
>>107458551>won't get much out of it except chargeback and his account bannedThat's not how this works moron. You can actually be reasonable and demand a compromise.
>>107458719>be reasonableTo the chink mind, you are the unreasonable one here that's why the seller refuses to budge, and even if aliexpress steps in, they're also full of chinks. Anyways keep posting until it resolves, I want to see how it ends.
>>107457882in non-us/non-eu countries like south africa, uk, canada, aus/nz you get to watch livestreams and collect shopping credit throughout
>>107458719While >>107458772 might be abrasive, he probably has a point anon. It's a bit of a cultural difference and I may be at risk of overgeneralizing, but when I was in china, a lot more of the moral burden is put on the buyer.In the west, we put basically all the moral burden on the seller. The buyer is the little innocent and naive lamb and the buyer needs to adhere to a bunch of rules. Don't deceive. Satisfy certain standards. Don't sell something you wouldn't use.When I was in china, that still existed, but there was also moral burden on the buyer. If you buy something, you are expected to be reasonable. If you go up to a market stall and a weird fruit costs 2$ each and you say you're willing to pay 1$, that's probably reasonable, you'll haggle, and you'll end up somewhere inbetween.If however you approach and suggest 0.15$, that's not reasonable. It is now seen as a sort of "it is what it is" if the seller satisfies your unreasonable demand and gives you one fruit, despite knowing that it's rotten inside and only a small part of it is still edible.I'm not taking a stance on if that's okay, or better, or worse, just describing how it felt there.When you respected the seller, they respected you. If you tried to undercut them you always regretted it by getting some shit that'd break within a day.Is that reasonable in your example of the battery? Probably not. Does trying to negotiate hurt? Definitely not, keep doing it, just don't keep doing it until dispute/ali is an option. They may ask you to send it back in which case you gotta either do that or cut your losses.
>>107457999>>107457999Click change proposal.>>107458408Fuck you already did the wrong thing. Anyhow good luck with customer support anon.
>>107456035well for some it can be good I am fan of more solid slippers
Am I too paranoid to even use chinksteel utensils? I feel like there is mystery alloy shit in all of them
>>107459251Nah I wouldn't buy anything directly from China that comes in direct touch with food/drinks. At least in EU/US stuff put on the market has to get tested for harmful shit and if there's any, the seller is potentially fucked. The stuff you order directly yourself can be just straight poison and you'll never even know.
Any AA / AAA battery flashlight with sub 2700k warmth?Sick of the bright white LED's
>>107458551>No bro, I'm about to topple this windmill any minute now trust me
>>107459118That's not an excuse to be an asshat and ignoring my question and preceding t threaten me though. You're one of those instances where I wish I could punch you through the internet.
>>107459457Anon I think you're confusing me with the other anon.I haven't responded to you once before the post in >>107459118 , everything else is some other guy.I know we sometimes get heated and shit, but if you didn't gather that from the fact that I specifically talk about the other guy in the third person, it's probably time to take a step back. For your own sake.Being an asshat is fair, the dude is very rude about it, but that's kinda what I hinted at by saying abrasive. It's just a polite way to call someone a rude asshole.
>>107459118>They may ask you to send it back in which case you gotta either do that or cut your losses.I'm already way ahead of you. Thing is, since you deceived m, you get the pleasure of paying for return shipping.>When I was in china, that still existed, but there was also moral burden on the buyer. What's the moral thing for me at the time of purchase? Remove the item from the card and boycott China like all the magatards want me to do?
>>107459510I was being rude because he's been posting across three threads on it while not getting the hint that the chink seller is absolutely not going to give in. It's time to admit getting chinked and move on but he really wants his e-scooter battery to specs I guess.
>>107459547>option 3yes dear we will sending you the better battery please cancel dispute and it will arriving in 3 months after
>>107459601>seller is absolutely not going to give inThat's not up to you though. There is going to be a middleman who is stepping in on the disagreement.
>>107459606He chose option 4>>1074579530 dollar refund.
>>107459547>I'm already way ahead of you. Thing is, since you deceived m, you get the pleasure of paying for return shipping.Good proactivity on your part, but your feelings of indignity at deception don't mean much to them, chances are you'll have to pay shipping for any of options 2 & 3, so option 1 is the only real option here. No idea if that's reasonable, I didn't follow the whole saga. >What's the moral thing for me at the time of purchase?1st rule of /csg/: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.In their moral system you have broken the mutual trust by expecting a product for unreasonably low. It's utterly retarded from a western moral framework, but I'm just trying to tell you what I experienced when I was in china in the markets. Not making any moral judgements or claims.>Remove the item from the card and boycott China like all the magatards want me to do?I don't really know what to say to that, it seems entirely unrelated to what we are talking about. >>107459601Fair enough, I'm mostly describing that your tone in those posts was rude, that doesn't necessarily mean it's unreasonable, but I refuse to follow up the entire shit flinging thread to get all the context kek.
>>107459650>chances are you'll have to pay shipping for any of options 2 & 3,No you actually don't have any experience with aliexpress disputes, you're just talking out of your ass with your own speculations.
>>107459676Well since you seem to have it all figured out, I'm wishing you all the best anon. Godspeed.At least your indignant rage is quite entertaining.
>>107459547Are you autistic
In case the shitslinging continues for a while and the thread hits bump limit on sunday, I won't be there to make a new one (I'm busy). Would be nice if some other anon could make a new thread in that case.Should be back some time on monday.

>>107460593time to pick up some chink soldering tools. that's not a bad first project
I have always gained net benefit from doing the opposite of what CSG says when it comes to clothes.Years back I asked the tread about safetyshoes. The retards adviced me to buy Swedish rubber rainboots instead of the safetyshoe with steel toe from aliexpress.Turns out the safety shoes were quite alright.a few weeks back they told me to buy used riding gear clothes instead of new gloves, new jacket, new pants.Turns out the new clothes were quite alright.So yeah take everything csg says with a grain of salt.
>>107460680I hate soldering with shit tools & I don't want to spend the money for good tools

I only paid £50 for the tablet so I don't really want to spend ANOTHER £20 on a pen. I guess my X201t pen will have to do.

>>107462196The safety shoes was years back, and a forgone conclusion.What kind of testing do you want from my other clothes beyond the CE certification?Do you want to know the rubber/foam thickness or what?I'm not vonlunteering to crash on my own bike. You can find another fool for that.
>>107462826>I'm not vonlunteering to crash on my own bike.cringe
I want to start streaming and recording stuff, but I don't want to spend a lot on equipment at first. What are the best gaming headsets I can buy with a budget of around $100? I want something long lasting with good mic quality for a headset. I know these things don't have pro level quality, but I need something better than my old Hyperx Cloud II that's on it's last legs. Should I just buy a Cloud III on sale and call it a day, or are there better deals out there?
>>107462826You do you, man. If you feel comfortable wearing chink protection, go ahead, you might actually be right and it really is alright. I'm just saying that equipment from reputable brands has gone through testing and the devil lies in the details, even if something seems fine it might not be in a specific situation (impact, piercing, abrasion) and you don't get to choose exactly how you'll crash.Leather is leather, I suppose, and it should resist abrasion equally well regardless if it was made in China by Alpinestars or by a nameless chang but maybe the stitching isn't as strong, maybe the inserts aren't as good, who knows.I've crashed in Alpinestars leathers during a trackday at 100 km/h and walked away with just a handful of bruises. I keep using that suit because it looks fine. Other guys have suits that have taken more than one slide. Maybe I should replace it but shit ain't cheap, maybe it really is fine.A friend has a paki suit that cost him a quarter of what mine did and from the outside it looks just as good, but there's no kevlar reinforcing, the rigid protections aren't as big or as comfortable, somehow his suit only made it to AA certification instead of AAA, which shouldn't be hard to reach for a leather suit. I suppose it's because the stitching isn't good enough.A mate of mine fell on a scooter ride around town and scraped his foot, he wasn't wearing any kind of protection, it was just a 5 minute ride after all. In fact, he was wearing flip flops because it was summer. 20 km/h crash. Well, it got infected and his foot inflated like a water balloon. We were worried they might have to amputate. It turned out alright but it was a properly scary experience.Abrasion, instead of impact, probably is what really matters.Don't get me wrong, in summer I wear summer gear, lest I die from a heat stroke, and it amounts to basically a thin net with pockets for protections, we all take risks, but I don't feel nearly as safe as when I'm rearing leathers.
>>107463046Personally I would just buy a $10 IEM and spend the rest on a good quality mic.gayming headsets are cringe.
>>107463080That's a shit ton of paranoia. You're actually saying I should be vary of clothes made in China because your Retard friend once crashed while wearing flipflops. Do you understand how retarded you come across?
>>107463145I don't expect you to heed the advice of an internet stranger just like I never paid much attention when older guys told me to be careful because they watched their mates die. But I've seen friends crash and I've crashed myself and it hits closer to home. You can think it's not going to happen to you but it very well might.What I am actually saying is that you should be wary of chink clothes because they haven't been tested and until you test them yourself you won't know just how good they are. Gear from proper brands has been tested and, while it may not be worth much these days, they have a reputation they probably wish to keep.We could discuss how stringent the tests and certifications are and if they allow consumers to properly tell the level of protection, and I don't think they really do, but it is something at least.
>>107463216I'm saying you're retarded because you're going from one extreme to another.Your retard friend got hurt because his flipflops couldn't protect him.Now you're paranoid and think the seams on my jacket could fall apart any time now.
What are some good gaming headphones I can buy online for around $30 to $50? Just the headphones, I already have a microphone.
>>107463237I don't know if your a zoomer retard who refuses to understand my arguments or if I'm actually explaining myself improperly.I'll explain it one last time.>One:A slow crash is enough to fuck your life up if you get unlucky. Hence the anecdote with the friend.And I do wonder, do you call him a retard because he crashed, thinking it's never going to happen to you, or because he was wearing flip-flops, which I assume you never do, even for short rides in the summer.>Two:In a real crash, at a higher speed, regular non-motorcycle clothes last a few seconds before the asphalt is eating up your skin. Can you be sure your chink gear, and particularly your chink stitching, is actually better than what's found on regular clothes?I do get the feeling you're a zoomer retard who feels invincible, who thinks that only subhumans crash, and you take away importance from your protective gear because you're not gonna crash anyway.I rode for years before I crashed the first time, and it happened at a trackday, testing the limits. I hope your first crash isn't too painful and you get the proper lessons out of it.

In southern yurop everyone rides in sandals and flipflops around town during summer.It's funny to me that you're an ATGATT retard yet wear chink gear of unknown quality.What does it matter where the clothes are made in? It's about testing and certification, you mouthbreather. A lot of proper motorcycling gear is made in western bangladesh aka Pakistan, a lot of it is made in China. I'm not saying asian gear can't be good. You seem to think it can't be shit.I don't know what the fuck do you expect me to see in that video. A regular loom, not fundamentally different from what's been used for literal centuries everywhere around the globe.Whoever made your gear isn't weaving the fucking textile on site. If we're talking about textiles, it's about the fibre material, not just how it's weaved, and how the different parts are stitched up together.Anyway, the second hand bike market needs retards like you too.
>>107463729>In southern yurop everyone rides in sandals and flipflops around town during summer.It's not my fault your entire region is retarded, injure yoursel and become paranoid. There are actually a lot of safety shoes with iron toes tha has breathable mesh in te rest of the shoe surface, it's fucking none of you paranoid freaks prefer flipflops over those.>I don't know what the fuck do you expect me to see in that videoMachine made = consistency.
>>107463729***it's fucking weird none of you paranoid freaks have tried those, and somehow you prefer flipflops despite your paranoia.
>>107463796>walking into the bar wearing mesh steel toe boots
>>107463821Aww jesus you sure got me there.Better continue scooting around on sandals and become paranoid freaks after the inevitable injury.
>>107463821These ones let in air easily. But they still have steel toe, which you will need in a crash.
>>1074638211: why would you care what someone, especially retarded thots think2: why would you go to a bar? just buy some alcohol at your local liddl and go to a park or home
>>107463080>I'm just saying that equipment from reputable brands has gone through testing and the devil lies in the details, even if something seems fine it might not be in a specific situation (impact, piercing, abrasion) and you don't get to choose exactly how you'll crash.He's already been told that on previous threads and couldn't be bothered, you really can't save people from themselves.
>>107463930>(impact, piercing, abrasion)>you really can't save people from themselves.It's true, you will never convince me your 200 dollar magic 5mm rubber armor will offer superior protectin to my chinksshit 5mm rubber armor.
i didn't get very good things in this sale. a few i picked the wrong model to order than i wanted. wasted quite a bit of money. should have paid more attention. only noticed cause i looked again now that i have more time than during the sale. oh yeah and one came already ordered from early during 11.11. it turned to be a scam. inferior product than was advertised. i used credits so no refund or recourse really. another waste. no further explanations. just gonna cry my self to sleep now.
What are you fags buying even that you can get scammed?
>>107463945>5mm***10mm.Outer layer is anti abbrassive.Inner layer is soft anti impact.So yeah, I bet yur magic rubber isn't actually better than my rubber.Rubber tech has been solved a long time ago, it's not a scarce resource.
>>107463986i tried attaching a sad meemay to that but 4chan is blocking/stripping image posts from my ip or whatever. so couldn't show you guys my failure hauls anyways. another sad disappointing turn of events. why :(
>>107463832Let's take it a step back.If you're going for a joyride out in the mountains at illegal speeds you should wear proper gear. Preferably leathers.If you're commuting somewhere around town it's reasonable to not wish to carry protective gear on all day, especially in summer. I suppose you don't think you should be wearing protective clothing while on a short bicycle ride to town. A scooter around town doesn't reach speeds much higher than a bicycle.It's a compromise of comfort and protection.Your chink gear might be perfectly fine, it might be made in the same factory as the proper brand stuff and it's simply a factory reject because of discolouration or the manufacturer made more than the brand ordered or any other stupid reason. Or it might be counterfeit shit that doesn't actually protect you.If you're fine with the unknown, so be it.>>107463902Depending on the crash, you're going to need more than that. Ankle protection specifically.My mate's injury was around the ankle. I doubt these shoes would have helped but who knows, as I said before, you don't get to choose how you crash.>>107463905Maybe it's just my southern yuropean mind but bars are nice places to socialize with friends and sometimes strangers, especially during summer.Retarded thots can be quite cool to be around in moderation.>>107463930Yeah, sorry, I missed those threads. I guess I should have inferred his stubbornness by that first post.>>107463945Let's hope you crash hitting your chinkshit 5mm rubber armour and not your chinkshit textile of undetermined quality.>reply to 5 anons, 4chins thinks it's spam. Alright, I'll delete the not off-topic stuff.
>>107464029>Depending on the crash, you're going to need more than that. Ankle protection specifically.Sure, but I would use those shoes with steel toe over your sandals any day, any climate.It seriously sounds like your entire culture is setup so you all end up paranoid freaks.>scooting around on sandals>become paranoid freaks after the inevitable injury.
>>107464029>Let's hope you crash hitting your chinkshit 5mm rubber armour and not your chinkshit textile of undetermined quality.You're trading 1 falacy for another falacy.The place where my chinkshit doesn't have armor padding, are the same places where your expensive shit doesn't hae any expensive armor either.Now your think your expensive 600D polyester polyester is better than my chinkshit 600D polyester polyester.
>>107464188I do think my expensive Ripstop CORDURA® (don't know if it's polyester or nylon or whatever else) is better than your chinkshit 600D polyester because:>According to European statutory law the CE mark is a conformity requirement for the marketing of this product. The following standards apply: Fully CE-certified riding garment to CE – Category II prEN17092 standards – AA class.Not just A but AA.You think your chinkshit 600D polyester is just as good based on hopes and dreams.
>>107464325>You think your chinkshit 600D polyester is just as good based on hopes and dreams.It's actually based on the nerves on my hand connected to my brain wich can do rough estimates of how abbrassive resistant a piece of cloth is and how it will fare when gliding across aspalt.Whereas your judgement rly on branding and marketing.
i've noticed that i'm buying smaller things which are multi purpose, or organizers/storage bags which keeps my spaces tidy. the true meta-strat is actually having less shit. i also realize that we're living in this really strange point in time where it costs almost nothing to buy anything that you want at 90% off local prices and having them free shipped to your door. i inherently don't want to cons00m but i feel like i'm forced to right now because corpos and the government don't want me buying direct from china. now i know how those preppers feel. they don't trust the system and they anticipate them fucking all this shit up.
>>107464446>Whereas your judgement rly on branding and marketing.You conveniently forget the most important one, which I mentioned in my very first post to you (>>107462196) and also on many subsequent ones: testing.But I did get one thing wrong, it seems. It's not an Eyeball mk. 1 test but a Finger mk. 1 instead.You can probably make really good money with that magical ability of yours that allows you to test equipment for protection in a non-destructive manner. Continuous QC is sometimes impossible to achieve because it requires the destruction of the test specimen but you can revolutionize manufacturing, mate.Do you do welding tests too? Can you test alloy composition? I've got some steel coupons at work I need to do next week. If you offer a fair price we can subcontract you.
>>107464531>You can probably make really good money with that magical abilityIt's not that magical. You hold 2 piece of clothe,then you ask your brain to estimate which one is thincker,which one is rougher and harder to bend,which one you have a hard time scratching,which one is heavier,The art of using oneself's own brain is severely underrated by some people.
>member level went from v6 to v7 in the coins widgeti have a strong suspicion that this is positive feedback score from sellers and not how much you spend. so the more you review things and the sellers give you good feedback, the more your VIP level goes up and it'll make disputes much easier

>>107464531>>107464559Trusting EU bearucrat certificates is actually the path of faith. Sometimes your faith keeps you safe sometimes your faith betrays you.Trusting the feelings of your own hand is actually the path of science, however primitive it may be.But the science of asphalt resistant cloth isn't really that complicated to begin with.Controversial, but it's true.
>>107446544Got a venmos vm-600a for just over 13€; solid, heavy shit, unlike crap like the aneng sz305 I returned, which was basically just an empty box. Replaced shit (20a) glass fuse with fast ceramic one from uni-t, but it's way overkill for me, so got me a aneng a3008 ("pro" pack), for under 9€ and been using this one.
>>107455902Those or some similar contain hundreds of times the maximum toxic elements level allowed in European Union countries. I got ones, earlier, but barely ever used them.
I need PNGs into stickers. Any good vendors? EU shipping if a plus
>>107464738>Trusting EU bearucrat certificatesNot a fan of the EU myself but the testing is done by independent labs and although, unfortunately, you can't see the actual results, every certified item has a declaration of conformity.I haven't gone through the relevant standard and the tests performed on the clothing but I am familiar with standards and testing in a different area of material science and I'm inclined to believe the standard makes, at least, some sense and has a degree of usefulness.My company does testing and issues certificates. Clients send us specimens for testing even when not required by law.I don't think this is simply an EU money extraction scheme.>the science of asphalt resistant cloth isn't really that complicatedWell, well. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the complexity of an area of expertise I'm not familiar with.Polyester loses strength at pretty low temperatures, under 100ºC, so its integrity can be compromised faster than expected and can simply melt away in a longer slide. This is not immediately evident. Good pants have an aramid lining in the butt and thighs for this reason. The same is true for leather suits. Leather can take a slide for hundreds of meters but it produces heat and "rug burns" are not uncommon after a crash, so there needs to be some kind of lining or protection from the heat.Abrasion resistance of metals is not apparent by touch or sight and I'm not ready to think this isn't also the case for plastic fibres in textiles.Unrelated to pants but, for instance, you can suffer brain injuries because your brain can rotate inside the skull because of an impact. Some helmets have a system called MIPS in order to mitigate this. Is this simply some jewish mumbo-jumbo to part you away from your shekels? Maybe, but injury mechanics, and their prevention is what really matter in protective equipment, are also not always self-evident.
>>107465303I especially don't trust EU certified vaccines.>MIPSJackets and Pants don't need anything like this though.
>>107465345>>MIPS>Jackets and Pants don't need anything like this though.Yes, it was just an example to introduce a further idea.>injury mechanics are also not always self-evident.What is relevant to pants and jackets and isn't self-evident are skin tears, where the clothing and the skin couple together forcing the skin to separate from your muscles or wherever it might be that it is attached to. Skin tears aren't a serious injury though.
>>107460477>picCan somewhat relate, although in my experience the staff at the factory itself is a lot more reasonable and honest about their product.Usually it's their trade representatives (an entire separate company for some of the larger manufacturers) that are total bullshit artists, willing to promise anything to get you to pay in advance. Scamming you for a deposit and dealing with the consequences is their literal and entire job.
>>107465380Mine has this>>107464011 at important joints like knee, sidehips, elbow, shoulder, back.It looks absolutely solid in accordance to everything I know

Review of the shitty "Vermont HD 1080p4" gopro clone i bought years ago>camera chip is too slow to record smoothly at 1080p>must pick the 720p setting to get smooth recordings>the 720p setting is actually 1280x960 rather than 1280x720, so you have a 4:3 ratio with a bit more resolution than "real" 720p>files are stored in .avi format, very poor compression: 10 minutes are 1.5 GB, so its about 150MB per minute in the 720p setting>battery is a measly 900 mAh>battery can only last about 10-15 minutes - granted it was left in storage some years and isn't newConclusion: Just buy an used action camera from a reputable brand, dont burn your money away on chinese ones imoI just got a real gopro and i was planning to maybe use this as a complimentary camera but if its this bad i won't even bother taking it with me. I may find some usecase where its constantly attached to a battery bank or something or just plugged to a charger at home maybe, it does have some autorecord function based on motion detection

STRONGLY recommend the doorbell chimes that go directly to your outletsIve had so many fucking headaches trying to sync several receivers to a single doorbell with the battery-powered receiver ones, but with this one it was so seamless and worked on the first try, plus i won't have to worry about the batteries on the receivers, only the button

recs for cheap rx 580 clones? Skimming both ali and amazon gives me basically the same options and prices (around 100 eurobucks), anything for less that isn't completely shit or cummed in?
>>107473198>shit or cummed onAll rx580 they sell had been thoroughly abused with intense core/memory overclocking during mining, they are probably on their last legs with imminent artifacting. Increase your budget and get a second hand 2080ti or 3070. Or ask /pcbg/

>>107473353thanks but i specifically need a chinkshit rx 580 cause my dad asked for one. He was using my old, proper, rx 580 but given my gpu is failing and he wants me to use the old one again while he gets a cheap replacement. I already built the rest of his pc via chinkshit ali parts given most he needs a computer for is some cad work he mostly does in his spare timeso yeah either a 580 or something like it, preferably not 100 eurobucks as it feels like a scam (i had got mine new for like 250 in 2018)
>>107473454Well then get a second hand 1070ti/1080/1660super locally, whatever you can find, these were mediocre at mining so chances are they are only used for gaming.

Is this a scam? I find this too hard to believe. Never bought anything from Aliexpress before.
>>107474347Its more of an IQ test than a scam to be fair.

are coins shit tier now or am i just looking at items that don't have it applied?it says 20% off then I get $2 off a $100 item, wtf. Also does AliExpress have that Paypal payment discount still on or is it a one time thing?
>>107476334i think we had the paypal deal 3 times last year at different times. no guarantees it will come back this year
>>107475299does that say 2.0ah bellow the voltage rating? cause if so, and assuming that each cell can hold 2ah (pretty easy nowadays for 18650) then it might be what chang said it was. unless you fooled yourself by the enclosure size instead of the rated valuest. not zhang
>>107475299>>107476823they shorted him 2x batteries, no? if lithium holds 3.7v then 5x3.7=18.5 which is under the advertised 21Vonly the capacity seems legit. purple wrapped ones have more juice than the blues (600mah vs 450)
>>107477147no, chang didnt use the nominal voltage, they used the fully charged voltage of the cells 4.2v, that gives out 21v. some brands use that instead of nominal 18v as well, not great not terrible.as for the cells, the missing 5 should be im parallel with the ones in there, the voltage would not change, only the capacity, which would double.if all the cells in there are 2ah each, that pack with 5 in series would still have 2ah total
>>107477147>purple wrapped ones have more juice than the blues (600mah vs 450)and i have no idea what you mean by this, the color of the wrapping has literally no meaning, it can be shinny like gold and it would change nothing. also, these are 18650 cells, not 10440 (aaa) ones
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010070381372.htmlProbably some cheaper alternatives out there, but some of them had loose wires at the end, not "cable gland*" protecting them. Not sure what the proper term would be.
>>107476334> says 20% off then I get $2 off a $100 item,But 2 off 100 is 20%*!*Due to manual calculation and different monitor, please allow one order of magnitude error. >>107477147If legit tool brands are allowed to sell 18V as 20V (at least in the US), then Chang has every right to sell 18.5 as 21!
