Unrelated, but what in the actual fuck are these new captchas.They feel like some mkultra activation shit kek.
>>107580925Are you using a VPN? I've never had more than one step. I can solve these quicker than the old ones.
>>107580943Pretty sure it's because of thread creation.For normal posts I just get a single step, which then also counts for a while so the next few posts I don't need a captcha at all.Currently it breaks 4chanX and 4chanXT if you don't need a captcha as the script prevents you from posting then, but I suppose that'll get fixed soon.I suppose if it makes less people post their absolute low effort slop on the catalogue it may improve discussion, I was just really confused first.
>>107580982>a single step, which then also counts for a while so the next few posts I don't need a captcha at allOh yea I noticed that it seems to count for much longer now. Not sure if that is true but I feel like previously it was one captcha for two posts.
>>107580943it's based on whether cloudflare flags your browser as high risk (meaning they can't fingerprint you)i'm on ungoogled chromium with no vpn and i get all 3 steps
>>107581170Well I'm running hardened firefox with stuff like ad nauseam running, so whenever it's a service that discriminates based on cattle status I get put in the peasant tier. Well worth it though, fuck em.
Conclusion to >>107515369, it arrived today.Everything I ordered is in it, nothing is broken, and the package has not been tampered with.So, in the end, I got $10 for receiving my order 2 weeks too late, which equates to a literal 50% discount on the price of the order, thanks Temu.And what's the deal with this stupid captcha? This one is literally much easier for bots. I don't get it...
>colorlook at the picture
decided to grab a new 8.4in tablet as soon as i'm done collecting the shopping credit this month. i'm then going to try cash in around $20-25 worth of gems and the $4.50 from merge boss and then stack ti with around 11% cashbackman this AI madness, trump tariffs making everything expensive and overall inflation made me spend so much these 2 months
>Government wants to add an additional flat import fee per SKU starting January>EU will do the same later in 2026 and plans are to stack both>Gonna spend €5 more per SKU + tax from now on>Basic DIY electric projects and repairs will become unaffordableMeanwhile dropshoppers will get to continue scamming people with their 500% markups and refusing to honour warranty claims. I can't wait for Ali Express to open more warehouses within the EU.
chang in alibaba doesnt want to send my thermal camera on the alibaba logistics, but its the only option that i have...he seems to be actually trying to look for a solutioni am really confused by this one>>107582173cheng will open a warehouse in romania or some other cheap place for the chinkshit, dont worry
>>107582173>>Basic DIY electric projects and repairs will become unaffordableStart using Taobao agents. Superbuy and others are offering tax free shipping and you pay zero VAT for local government.
>>107580880which one to get sars
>>107580925i've suspected that captchas are iq testing the population. it's pretty simple to achieve by determining each persons baseline where they solving or not.
What the heck chang
fellow eurotaxed citizensWhat items are you stockpiling on for the coming chinktaxhell period?
>>107582539Probably worth getting small stuff that's cheap but you regularly get. Like pen refills, batteries, markers, stuff like that. Also as >>107582173 said if you're into DIY electronics then cheap MCUs and passive components. The thing is the changes won't make buying from china not worth it, they'd need to be MUCH worse for that to happen, they'll just piss me off a medium amount while changing little in terms of how much I actually buy.The bag I recently got on ali was 15€, locally a similar one would cost me 45€ on the low end, more like 70€ from some stores, so their fee won't make me buy "local" (aka from china but with a stop in a warehouse in europe for a day or two)
>>107582328>offering tax free shipping and you pay zero VAT for local government.And how is that supposed to work exactly?
