Wrong mic anon reporting, got full refund without shipping it back.
Also asked a couple stores which exact model mic they have, because most have misleading descriptions and mixed up pictures. Got a very GPT looking response every time telling me to trust the title and ignore the pics. Only one store said in broken Engrish that they will contact supplier to make sure.

>I want to start streaming and recording stuff, but I don't want to spend a lot on equipment at first.
For streaming invest everything into a decent mic. It doesn't have to be amazing, but it has to have no obvious faults.
If you've ever tried to watch a video or stream with no camera or a shit camera, you know that that's doable. Plenty of streamers without facecam, plenty of streamers with shit facecam (see picrel) (this changes if your attention strategy is going for the softcore porn gooner audience).
As for audio quality, you can play with super shit audio, and iems are cheap with great audio. Any cheap headphone will do. Most importantly, the audience doesn't hear that so it doesn't matter.
But if you've ever tried to listen to a stream with bad audio, crackling, popping sounds etc, you know you turned it off quickly.
It's the one non-negotiable. Try to get a mic that is good enough (again, no need for a 5000$ condenser mic, just something that's not actively ass).
Consider if you want keyboard sounds to be picked up or not and plan accordingly.

Also try to keep things cheap because there's a very high chance you're going to not get much traction and lose interest. This isn't an observation based on you, it's just how most people who try streaming operate. So best to keep it cheap so if you lose interest you didn't lose much, and if you get traction you have justification to upgrade.

>>107479874

ATK VXE R1 Pro Max review.
Also Bundle haul.

>ATK VXE R1 Pro Max
Got it from their own website rather than ali despite slower shipping and a few dollars more cost, because they had a black friday deal where you'd get a "surprise item box (reduced from 80$ to 0$)". I expected it to not be worth 80$ of course, but I thought it'd at least be something I could use like spare skates or grip tape or something. It was a keyring charm of one of their keyboards. Utterly useless. So get it on ali not their site.
As for the review of the mouse itself, I'm happy.
Great tracking, light, nice buttons, nice ergonomic form factor. Can't say much about battery life yet.
Comes with spare slides, grip tape, a nice USB-C cable, and a USB-A to USB-C adapter for some reason. All feels good about it.

Complaints are twofold:
- The 1k receiver is not great in terms of connection security. When put on the back of my PC which is under my desk it gets connection issues. On the front it works fine, but that's still a bit embarrassing for a mouse in this price range.
- Their software which was advertised as platform independent was a big plus to me (I'm on linux). It doesn't work on firefox, so I had to use edge for a chromium based browser. It also doesn't work there. Had to VM into windows to use a fucking chromium based browser software. Half the console errors are in chinese kek. Even some of the menu items in the software are chinese. So software on linux is ass sadly. A shame because once you get it to run it's really good.

Still wort the money and I'd recommend it. Only thing that can change my opinion is if the battery life turns out to be ass or it breaks/buttons fail.

Cont for bundle stuff

>>107480502
>Haul shit (cont)

>Socks
I got cheap wool socks on bundles a few months ago and they were god tier. These used the same picture but aren't the same socks sadly. Much thinner (the others were very thick). Okay but not special.
This is one of those "the first hit by the dealer is free" kinda deals that I was warned at school about, I'll chase the high of those socks for a long time I suspect. On the plus side, these socks being thinner means they fit better into shoes.
>Sweatpads for under the arms for a wedding I'll attend
Can't say shit, no idea if they stick well or absorb well. Look decent though.
>Titanium comb
Nice, well made. A bit of flex which is not amazing, but not enough to make me worry. A bit less nice to use than the aluminium one I already have (which has rounded ends).
>Threading tool for drawstrings on pants
Seems to have just the right flex, nice. Will probably struggle with thick drawstrings but it might still work, I'll have to test that. Already fixed one pair of sweatpants for me.
>Compression shirts
I had some from amazon and they were insanely ass, zero compression power and weird black markings on them that shine through white shirts. These are just white and work well. I have no illusion that they won't stretch out after 1-2 days of use, but I just need them to last for one, so that's fine. Fair for the price, given that the amazon ones cost 10x as much and didn't work while these do, it's a great deal.

>oh another anon bought the same stuff I did

btw is it really titanium or just a gimmick name?

>>107480960
NTA but problem with titanium is twofold.
They don't use enough of it, so ended up so thin it's weaker than the same item made of thicker steel. Then they often claim it's PURE titanium thinking it's better or something but titanium is not that strong unless alloyed, just like almost every other metal (iron->steel, aluminum alloy etc).
I had a glasses frame made of titanium breaking due to how the metal near the hinges thin as fuck, totally defeating the point of using it.

>>107480960
>btw is it really titanium or just a gimmick name?
It's not titanium. I didn't really check because it's irrelevant for the use I have for it, but the fact that the back of the package doesn't say anything about titanium is a big giveaway, after all you'd advertise an expensive material as that. It also looks different than my titanium cup.
Gave it a quick test and it's magnetic, so not titanium. Also tried heat oxidation which was inconclusive with a tendency towards not titanium and measured weight which is closer to some sort of steel, but the fact that it's magnetic is a dead giveaway.

>>107481137
strong or weak magnetic?
weak could be stainless, which should be ok

>>107481246
I don't really know for sure. It's weak, but so is the magnet I have to use to test it, so I can't really say if it's weak because of the material or weak because of the magnet. I tried it on known stainless and metal and because the magnet isn't that strong to begin with I don't really feel a difference reliably.

What's a good pair of headphones/headsets for someone who hasn't worn anything(outside of five minute calls) in nearly a decade now, and I don't like how shit feels inside of my ears or over them? I've tried a bunch of stuff from the big cans to office headsets to the in ear bluetooth stuff to the open ear stuff and I never felt comfortable with any of them with a long period of time. Open Ear was the most comfortable but I haven't found them wired which I'd like a pair for my desktop.

If all clothing from China is toxic/has lead in it then so does all the clothing you buy in Walmart or other local stores. But of course, if it didn't get imported through a third party and went straight from mainland to your hands then it's literal anthrax so never buy from Ali and always buy upmarked locally.

Here is my experience with electric scooters on aliexpress throughout the years.

2018~2020 This was the wild wild east era for me.
I could sense the scooter teams back then they had real entrepreneur spirit of honesty, their battery capacities were generous yet honest. I still had that classic chinkshit experience when I connect charger to scooter and the electric spark would freak me out, but otherwise excellent products.
The only reason why I had to replace with a 2nd scoot so quickly was due to theft.

2023~2025 This is now the big biz era, the old guard of unproitable entrepreneurs have long since been replaced with proitable scammers.
2 scammer methods I have noticed.
Scam#1:
You find a good deal, you order scooter.
Two days pass and you wonder why it hasn't shipped yet, you check the messages.
Chang will be at the message center telling you there has been a problem! The product is "out of stock"
buuuut.... Chang will let you select between these 5 other scooters with shittier specs for the money. You don't have a choice according to Chang he refuses to cancel your order and refund you the money. He will then extend the "to ship" time window now that negotiations have soured, he now has your money hostage for 20 days and will taunt you
>if you don't select alternative scooter I will keep your money or a long time!!

Scam#2:
Chang will give you scooter with fake battery size, and it's going to be dificult to notice unless you're really nerdy and into the physics/mathematics of the battery game.


Well, I think aliexpress is largely dead to me now. I'm not trusting Chang anymore.
If you have to buy something, it should be from reputable brands like
Inmotion, Kukirin (i can vouch they are solid), Xiaomi, Kaboo.
The homegrown garage entrepreneurs don't exist anymore, they have been replaced by bloodlusting scammers.

>107488394
>Scam#1:
While this one may not sound all that insidious, it could technically affect people who are in a bind,
for example if this was the only savings you had and Chang suddenly took your money hostage for 20 days and you really needed some vehicle to get you going, this method of scam can be effective on some demographics.

My advice would then be to withhold your rage, keep a polite front to Chang when you ask for cancellation. It might help. Maybe.
But definitely don't take Chang's alternative offer.

Out of curiosity I took a look at the old sellers from back then which I trusted.
They really did go completely out of business.
Nowadays they only sell some spareparts at their store to service old customers.

It's so fucking depressive to see the good guys die, while the scammers rake in profits.

You can do trickle charging on nimh batteries. No fire risk. The circuit is dead simple. Bigclive has a couple of videos about this, how to make your circuit or how to modify "dumb" chargers into trickle chargers.

>>107491791
I have the same sentiments as >>107491891 . We sometimes get anons praising temu here too and when they did their big advertisement run during the european football championship I made an account and ordered something because of great deals.
I've cross referenced like 5 times since for items and every time they just seemed worse than ali to me. I think it depends massively on what you buy and where you live.
My current opinion is if you need super generic, cheap and meh quality stuff, temu might be worth it. Stuff like "a tablecloth of whatever quality" or "a cheap camo net cut from cheap polyester", or "a tent for a festival (don't care about weight, size, material quality, warmth, ease of setup", or "any flashlight". Then they sometimes are a few euros cheaper for me.
But those aren't what I buy from ali, and anything of quality you'd get on ali, doesn't exist on temu. It always feels like the cheapest trash in the world.

Then again multiple anons have been saying they like temu because of local warehouses, which doesn't matter to me because ali has those too. I suspect in some markets (SEA, south america) ali may not have local warehouses while temu does and that may explain the difference.
In the end, it's good there's options and I'll probably continue to do a cross-check when I get items I feel might be temu appropriate (the previously mentioned cheap bulky stuff where quality doesn't matter much), but so far I've not made a single order from temu after that first time offer.

I searched for it and got a shitton of results so I wanted to call you a retard, then I clicked a few and every single one of them isn't binary kek.
aliexpress.com/item/1005002273227531.html was the only one I found that actually was binary (and that still explicitly writes out the powers of 2).
Figured out why none of them actually are binary though. Look at the reviews of the ones that aren't "led next to number". I quote:
>We are waiting to understand the operation because it is not accompanied by instructions.
So there probably were many binary watches and they got bad reviews by literal retards so they now make the led slop.

>>107492147

Brehs...

I bought this toothpick dispenser. It seemed like a good idea.
Before I got to use it, curiosity got the best of me and I popped it open from the bottom since it unscrews. Everything inside fell apart.
So I put everything back together and it doesn't work. When the lid isn't on it will raise a toothpick just fine but with the lid, it will never put the pick through the whole.

You dispute. You wait for ali to step in. They decide your fate.
If the seller makes any counteroffer in the chat but asks you to cancel the dispute, don't.
If they make a counteroffer through the dispute system, your choice if you want to take it or not, just know that by accepting it you're losing your dispute-granted protections.

Super cheap RC car arrived.
It came in a styrofoam box that was broken in 3 places, only held together by the tape around it.
The car itself is based. Obviously not super premium, but suspension works, it has lights on the top, and the colored panels are some sort of metal (feels like the diecast metal of a hotwheels car). Torque is limited and I only tried it indoors, but it feels like the claimed speed of like 20km/h is accurate, it gets really fast (after some windup). Overall, perfect for what I need it for and much better than expected for the price.

But while the car is great, the rest is lacking.
The battery is small, it's a 500 mAh single cell. The "charger" you get is just a USB-A directly soldered to the terminals. Not even a 25ct BMS chip or anything. That's not that bad, 500 mAh however is a bit small. I already have a bigger one in the mail though and the compartment at the bottom fits up to 4 cells.
The real stinker is the remote. It looks and feels cheap and shitty. Plastic, little in terms of ergonomics (though I think it's just too small for my hands, probably fine for kids' hands). I expected the wheel to turn to be binary (as in left/right/neutral) without proportional steering, but I at least expected that you could actually turn it a bit. The button for left or right happens after legitimately 3 degrees from neutral (I measured) and then it stops turning. It does the job, but it's not enjoyable in the slightest. The big question will be signal range, but I can't test that today. Not having high hopes frankly.

Anyways the thing that matters most, the car, is great. Everything else is as you'd expect from the price, underwhelming. Still great for the 11.49€ I paid in bundles for it.

>>107494478
Small items, yes. A phone isn't a small item in value. Even if it's a random shit phone. A small item is like a few dollar shit.

Also these gloves arrived. 3.09€ so I had low hoped.
Expected them to be undersized or badly made for that price.
But they're not. If anything they are a bit oversized, which is weird because I have (slightly) above average sized hands, but they are a little larger than needed and each finger has room to spare at the tip. Inside of the hand has a nice grip texture thing, thumb and index fingers have PU leather or something like that that lets your finger work with the capacitive screen on your phone, mobility is good and they are wam but not too warm.
Not perfect (if I could shrink them by 5% they would be ideal) but damn decent for 3€.

>>107494478

Trinui Brick Hammer arrived. Gonna put on nextui, buy a dac dongle, and use it as a gaming/music player.

Last Black Friday I bought a standard Series X Xbone controller but I did no research whatsoever nor do I even play games that often. Then Youtube recommended me videos about a controller and a company called 8Bitdo, I just checked out their prices on Ali and holy crackers that is cheap, and even better they seem to have both sticks and triggers with Hall Effect. The xbone controller I bought was to be used mainly with racing games but apparently the xbone controller is really fucking dogshit (worse even than the old 360 one).

So yeah I think I'm getting one of these 8Bitdo controllers, what should I get though? I think there are like 3 or 4 versions, I will use it on PC and occasionally Android, I think the previous version had programmable buttons or something? That sounds cool but there must be a catch, right?

>>107498766
not really. 8bitdo is the premium china controller brand. another one is gamesir but that's more android focused

Why does Ali keep offering me products that just say "cannot be shipped to your current destination" in bundle deals? Theres no hints that its a different item or anything, it just wont go past the checkout page.

The issue with polyester isn't the lead, it's the plastic you absorb in your body and that ruins your hormones, health, and fertility.

I got a couple of t-shirts, one for my brother and one for me, but my "go one size up" idea backfired since the L is too big for my brother and the XL is too big for me. Not the end of the world, they can be used like oversized shirts at home i guess. The one I got for my brother is pretty well made, mine has its large graphic ironed on it so it feels shittier but I knew that beforehand. Don't have pics, sorry I'm a bad /csg/ user, the one for my bro is this one

I've got the wireless Ultimate (first gen, now it's at second gen but I don't know what the differences are) and it''s great. It has a sleek charging dock that can also function as receiver if you hook it up directly to your pc (the usb receiver is hidden inside it but you can remove it and use it separately if you want) so you can just pick up the controller and in a few seconds it's turned on and connected. You can configure all buttons and even make macros and you can keep three profiles for these saved on the controller that you can cycle through with a button, but keep in mind that you can only do this relatively to a normal gamepad's controls (basically you can't assign keyboard keys to it)
The main reasons I like it over the xbox controller are the dock and the back paddles which can occasionally come in handy, for example with souls games I set them to R3 and L3 so that I can use them for sprint and lock on. Idk whether the hall effect stick actually do a difference but I haven't had a smidge of drifting after over a year, and the build quality is solid too. It can connect to android too but I only use it on my pc so I have no idea how easy or hard it is to switch between devices

>Remaining bags
Bits and pieces for building an ambilight setup for my tv, using Hyperion and a raspberry pi 3.
The bits I'm using are:
>12v to 5v buck converter
To power the Raspberry pi from the psu
>Logic level shifter buffer 74AHCT125
Jazzes up the raspberry pi GPIO port signals from 3.3v to 5v
>Corner connectors
For the LED strip so I don't need to bend it in weird ways, I'll just add a corner piece to the corners and cut the LED strip along the contacts at the corners. Much cleaner than bending the strip.
>PSU
Just need to sacrifice a pc power cable to plug it in and basically the whole thing is good to go
>The LEDs
WS2815 which are 12v because apparently 5m of 5v LEDs can lose brightness at the ends, this should do it.
I've had the raspberry pi lying around for years, and I've already installed hyperbian on it and the android tv hyperion app, which all seem to be working together.
I'm planning to find time this weekend to set the whole system up, I'll try and let you know how it goes.

>>107501123
>are these wind proof and water proof?
Without testing it I'd wager no on the water proof and a somewhat on the wind proof.
Wind proof for wind when you are standing around. Not sure they'll be wind proof for motorcycle riding (which they advertise as). Any test I could come up with (blow on it, hold in front of fan, move quickly) stopped any wind, but that's just not the same as on a bicycle or bike.
For the waterproofing you can make it a lot better with those silicone based water repellent sprays, which is what I'll do. Not waterproof enough for a snowball fight or submerging your hands in water, but should prevent soaking from the occasional rainshower.
>>107501916
Ah that makes a lot more sense, for some reason I really didn't understand that. Probably makes the range/reception issue better too.

I'd suspect bad soldering or a drive needing too much power, but sometimes it's just a weird chipset.

got the ugreen 45w charger for my laptop that's specific about charging
works fine, happy days
i also got an INUI 45w 20,000mah power bank. This one makes my laptop slow down while in use, so I suspect it might be charging higher than 45W as that's what usually causes that behaviour in my laptop

Depending on the store, price of the day and coupons/sales between 3 and 6€. Locally it’s 5€ all day erryday.
It’s a cheap-ish way to get a bunch of random, new pieces to supplement the existing hoard of 60s (my dads and uncles) and 80s/90s (me and my brother) that my kids now have to foster their creativity and to allow for some new builds that haven been possible in the 80s/90s, much less so in the 60s.
Sure, buying a set also serves this purpose, but to gift them a set needs a reason (guess what coming for Christmas) and I don’t wanna spoil them with random gifts, but a handful of random parts is much easier to put into the hoard
>look, daddy found some more lego parts in an box!
But the older one now starts to recognize the different ages of the bricks, probably can’t pull that trick for much longer.

>>107509915
I don't know about our current looney tunes tech prices, but at the time that I saved those pictures that only happened in cases where chinese either had old stock, so they packaged it in a larger shell, sometimes not even changing the numbers to fuck with people, just into more popular package sizes. Since it was old stock the material was basically free to begin with.
There were also salvaged ones, but noone really bothered with that because as you said it's a good bit of labor for something that's barely worth anything. Not even sweatshop workers.

I can see that through hole capacitor scaling though, if the smd package is cheaper, you could probably automate that. But I've never seen one of those in the wild, so it might just be for the meme.

>>107512032
Unlucky. Mine ship from within the EU, so if you don't have a local warehouse, probably worse prices.

I should take it as a sign that Ali cancelled both my notlego kit and my notlego lighting kit that I spent days deciding on whether to order.

But instead it makes me angry and determined to get what I want even if I have to pay more.

Do you guys think running an online store for fishing supplies is a good idea?
I've been fishing for almost 10 years and I've bought all kinds of fishing shit from the chinks so I know what's actually worth buying and I have saved a lot of money doing this.
Usually when I go fishing I come across older guys that buy everything online simply because they don't know any better.
As example, 25 quality hooks cost 4,50€ at the store while good ones from the chink cost around 1.5€ and they pack 50.
My idea was to sell stuff that isn't prone to breaking so I don't get any headache, so I wont be selling rods or reels, but accesories.
Thoughts? Any of you did something similar?

I'm anon who got this scale a few weeks ago.

It was useful before when cooking and adjusting recipes, but is doubly so now that I'm on a diet, tracking my macros and such.

I'm no expert but you should definitely get something from a reputable brand, there are shit razors out there. You should get one of the Yaqi brush too, they're insanely good for their price.

>>107518745
not a expert but, I would be worried about rusting or peeling the finish off overtime, and the head/comb alignment.

to be fair, my very first razor (many years ago) was a no name butterfly-open from ali, and it worked fine, but its a gamble.

I could check if you gave me some pointers on how to get the dynamic bitrate reading from the earbuds themselves, preferably without connecting them to a PC.
Poweramp reports no changes in codec on the output side, tested with ST2 over SBC/AAC and ST2 ultra over AAC/LDAC.
My observations are that with the original ST and ST2 there is a noticeable drop in connection stability when using low-latency mode, so my guess is the bitrate is still prioritized when using it. Haven't tried it on the 2 ultra so far to be able to comment on them.

alright, I'll give the reviews for all 3

qshave has the bonus of being adjustable, but in my use of it that was more a detriment cause I couldn't pinch the right setting, also cause it has a spring inside it had the issue of one side being slightly raised
the handle is a bit slippery too, its a direct clone of merkur futur, I don't know if that ones any better but its 10 times more expensive.
another problem is that cleaning it up is a huge pain, it gets stuffy with hair quickly and starts scrubbing you. inside starts getting rusted too.

now the Yaoi (yeah its yaqi butt fuck it) are the opposite. I went with the cheapest one for the handle, and the head I was interested in.
the handle is pretty good, and the head that comes with it is like a medium aggressive probably if you need it. its alright to clean but not great. but everything is made well.
the other more streamlined head is better. its softer with safer geometry, so its hard to cut yourself, everything is smooth and the channel is huge so cleaning is incredibly easy.

I got them with huge coin discounts and coupons, and I'd rec that a 100% even if it was twice of what I paid.
not sure if all handles of this kinda razor are interchangeable but I banked on theirs being compatible and it paid off.
they have more expensive handles and heads too, but its a bit too complicated for me so I went for the most sold cheaper options. wasn't disappointed

another positive is that the square head is sits the blade flush, and its slick and pretty small compared to qshave, so for body shaving and hard to reach places its fantastic.
the one that came with the handle the sides of the blade stick out a bit so its lt as comfortable.

Bought one of these (MKESPN K811) for 19€ to use as a macro keyboard. The build quality is pretty good, unlike the software. They only provide a really clunky windows driver (the official download has literally ends with ...(1)(1).exe). The driver works somewhat in wine which allowed me to wireshark parts of the protocol and at least lets me change the keys and turn off RGB.

The only real disappointment is the joystick which works as a digital pad with only four directions.

>I used some coupons with a minimum purchase amount so I'm wondering if I'll lose the discount on the other items I ordered if I cancel one.
Those orders would already be paid for though. If you check in order details it'll tell you exactly how much that item was. You can't lose a discount, they can't just charge you extra after the point of sale.

You can wait it out but I think something's going on because I've ordered a few things and been told they're discontinued and that they either won't ship or to cancel. If you want you can just let it time out, or you could play hardball and say they've an obligation. Sometimes sellers will try to get out of it if they're not going to make much on the order but if it's actualy discontinued then they'll want you to cancel so it doesn't affect their store rating or whatever

What's a scam about it?

you don't lose discount if you partially cancel order, it's spread even across whole order

There's no penalty for canceling orders as buyer then?

Any good, cheap, cute and smoll laser telemeter recommendation? I want one for my real estate visits. It won't be used for ultra precision shit, just to quickly measure the room distances/surfaces.

if in europe lidl has some really cheap ones, and one that is also a metal detector

Thanks, it's not cute and smoll, but I trust Parkside. Didn't think of them, but I might just grab it from a local Liddl

>it will mean more optimizations on the logistics and more hauls
what the fuck are you even talking about, it now takes a fucking LESS THAN A WEEK to get shit from ali without any problems
>>107528945
wrong, there will be way less orders, ali does't do taxes on 150€+ shit, you will have to do them by yourself or 3rd party which is just more waste of money

>>107529685
that means is fast, and is fast often against the optimization of logistics from a resource perspective
same shit happens with amazon, is just way more logistics movements, for very little real benefit

>for very little real benefit
yeah moving constatly is SO FUCKING BAD right
they should leave fucking old boat option for retards like you

nigga dealing with millions of small packages is a retardely inefficient way of doing shit, that amazon has imposed us to bait us into a cooooonsoooooom addiction
i dont fucking care if shit arrives a week later, i am not a kid, i can plan for that eventuality
my last buy isnt even delivered and was 10 days ago, but i am a "business" so that is alibaba for you. meh if i get that thermal camera before the 7th of january is ok to me

>nigga dealing with millions of small packages
THEY DONT DEAL WITH MILLIONS ITS BULLSHIT
after they autotaxed everything, packages from ali massively dropped, before here postman would get their cars overloaded with shit from china, now it's almost nothing, people get shit from amazon more often because price gap is way smaller now
>i dont fucking care if shit arrives a week later, i am not a kid, i can plan for that eventuality
just because you don't care doesn't mean 99% of buyers and 100% of sellers don't care too retard, i know it's hard for autismo too see anything besides himself but cmon

>>107529851
one of the main functions of the government is to regulate the retardation of the society, i am not the one being a selfcentered autist here anon, you are missing the big picture
packages didnt drop in spain, if anything i would say that they went up given that we dont need to deal randomly with customs anymore
