One of the best chinkshit purchases I've ever done is glow-in-the-dark tape. I've put stripes of it on furniture legs and corners and mine glows so well that if you wake up in the middle of the night, you can still see it so you won't stub your toes and don't have to turn on the lights. You can also put it near light switches or other buttons you want to activate without having to turn on the lights first. It looks like your typical glow in the dark stuff, glows green in the dark and is greenish-yellowish white, blends well with white or pale wood furniture. My tape has strong permanent adhesive and glossy surface, easy to cut cleanly into whatever shapes you need. Posting in chinkshit because I first found it on Aliexpress and haven't seen it in any local hardware stores.
>>107780430Dude thats genius
>>107780430>no link
>>107780430>buying chinkshit that literally glows
hehehehehe ima order it>>107780430this shit is magic, it glows so much brighter than glow-in-the-dark stuff i am used to. it's also neat to lume small things with, i put it on my bike's gear indicator. bet you can use a hole puch to make luminous dots and put them on things.
>>107780430How long does the glow last before requiring recharging under light?
>>107780277Gamesir just presented their future gamepad. You can play racing games with steering wheel on your gamepad now, thank you based GameSir, very cool.
>egpu i bought during dec is about to go through some sort of RMA where i'll lose out on $19 of shopping credit>keyboard i ordered on dec 31st is now unavailable and not even packed>$17 of credit on that onejesus fucking christnew rule is to buy things with shopping credit if you don't care about refunding or malfunctions i guess. real money and ali dispute/paypal chargebacks on things which are high risk
>>107780733looks like shit and weird. but i would like to try it, bc why not
>>107780546dude, I bought it like 8 years ago. Buy it for life kind of thing. It's like 2 bucks. Everyone should just buy it.>>107780604Yeah, it's so much better than the glowie stars I used to glue to the ceiling as a child. I guess with the toys they just embedded some glowie powder within partially translucent plastic. Whereas in the tape it's a good layer the stuff under fully transparent plastic coating.You actually don't want to put it too close to where you sleep because it glows too bright and you can't turn that shit off. Or use smaller pieces so they won't light up the room so much. Put multiple rows of tape on a piece of cardboard and you have a flashlight. I was actually thinking of putting a slab of it near the sink in the bathroom so you could wash your hands without turning on the light at night, though that might be excessive.>>107780717If you swipe a flashlight on it point blank, it glows pretty bright, you can literally draw a trail on it that fades in real time. But the low lever glow seems to last borderline forever. In pitch black, you can see it the entire night. My understanding on the physics is that it works based on half-life with some electron levels decaying randomly, but human eyes are almost infinitely sensitive to smallest amounts of light. The half-life is probably same in all the green stuff, but if it has more of it, the baseline is brighter so it can stay visible longer even after lot of decay.
>>107780733That looks like such a crappy gimmick that you would get bored of in 5 minutes or stop playing cause your thumbs cramped up.
>>107780733When they first announced it with just a photo, not a demo video, most people thought it's some kind of gyro force feedback counterweight for using entire controller as a steering wheel. Now that would have been cool.
>>107780430I was actually considering this but the reviews said the glow was shit so I didn't bother. One of my concerns is related to >>107780575I've been told before that there was some glow in the dark material that was in toys and stuff that was literally unsafe and toxic. It got banned in most placed but China didn't care. I wonder if they use it in their tape.
>Wake up>Check AliExpress on a whim>Item has 25% coins discount>Item is £100 so that is significant>"ah shit I said I didn't want it but I'll order it after breakfast at that price">have breakfast>go back to item in app>only 6% coins discount nowWhat is this what have they done to me when do they just switch things up in like an hour?
>"shipped" six days ago>no tracking updates
>>107781858been there. flash sale on keyboard for $15 with coins, thought about it a bit and it went back up to $27
>>107781848The best stuff is toxic. Not talking about glow in the dark materials as I have no idea about that, just saying in general.Toxicity is obviously bad so it has to be better in some other way otherwise it wouldn't be used at all. Sometimes it's just price, other times it's effectiveness, most often it's both.But you could simply not stuff that tape deep in your ass and you'd be fine.
>>107781848see, this is the issue i have with the REEE toxic cancerous chinkshit crowd here. it's photoluminescence. light goes into the phosphors which stores the energy and slowly discharges as soon as you turn off the lights. mcdonalds toys in the 90s had them, often coated with a layer of translucent plastic that made them childsafe if little bobby put it in their mouth.>I've been told before that there was some glow in the dark material that was in toys and stuff that was literally unsafe and toxic.by whomst? if we're talking about the 60's, women would paint things with radium and lick the paintbrushes to wet them which caused mouth cancer. google says we use strontium aluminate and zinc sulfide nowadays which are both non-toxiccomeon guys, we're on the internet with humanity's knowledge at our fingertips. let's not do the schizo fearmongering shit to ourselves
Got this for $14 with coins to use as an MP3 player, wonder how it'll perform with that anemic processor.
im trans, what to get from aliexpress
>>107783007But how? Was yours going off sale period or something?I've never had something jump like this and in such short time. I was going to make the damn order. I can't believe I've lost so much....
>>107784805it was like 2 days ago during the choice sale just randomly buffered by a 12% coin discount on topkind of kicking myself actually
>>107783127I agree with you 100% anon, and it annoys me too, but >let's not do the schizo fearmongering shit to ourselvesWhere do you think you are kek.
>>107783061From what I remember about the glow in the dark stuff it was toxic even if you didn't shove it in your orifices so I erred on the side of caution. >>107783127It was somewhere on here, I saw a Wikipedia article and everything anon.Of course, I can't find anything about it now. I'm not going to argue it because honestly I don't know anything about this shit. I just remember a discussion here once about glow in the dark stuff and it cropped up so I thought I'd mention it
>>107784881Take solace in the fact my loss was greater. It was by far the cheapest listing I found for what I wanted. Literally got £25 off through coins, I couldn't believe how high it was but I didn't want to be ordering shit as soon as I had woken up.
Any of you bought a PS2 gamepad? I'm trying to find one but all I can find is stuff in the $5 range which I assume is absolute shit.

>>107785502what the hell is that a kink or is to try to hide its function?
>>107780430I got a whole 12 inch roll of vinyl that glows. The kind meant for cutting machines. I don't know if it's as durable as tape, but you can cut it into whatever shape you want.

>your package is going through customs>8 days with no updatesRELEASE MY PACKAGE
>>107785763>securityI wonder if it comes with the fishy smell straight from Tianjin
>>107785763That reduces the chance of it being seen/identified as a onahole by like -10% but makes the severity/problem if it is found worse by +150%.

>>107781848https://x.com/i/grok/share/8reqr63ZFYUjvFofoWIyQAEndGrok can't find issues specific to glow in the dark materials that you charge with light, but you are probably talking about tritium which is a passively glowing radioactive substance and banned outside of china for general public.The usual chinkshit toxicity risk applies however.

>>107794040>who's a week lateCorrection: but just in time for Orthodox Christmas.
Prices have normalized back to their pre-holiday inflated prices.A thing I bought that was ~$65 is now ~$50. Good thing I used coupons and credits on it. Sucks we have to play this stupid game though. I could have added another item to the order without this price inflation.
rtc flashcarts acquired i got the shitty bootlegs just for the cases/labels ill put the flashcarts inside, also the supercard sd so i can try the custom firmware out
writing to these >>107794086 is pretty slow guess it doesnt matter though shouldnt need to do it often
>>107794060I don't get why this happened when the sale is technically still on. There's like 12 hours left, why stop it early?And why do I ALWAYS wait until the last day of the sale before buying anything? And then constantly miss out?
>>107794040>Chinkese handheld that can emulate up to PS3I press X to doubt fren, can you show us how it runs?
all setup emerald with working rtc and full trading compatibility/palpark/gamecube compatibility for £20 plus im using a custom rom with following pomeon, day night cycle and also a fix for the broken rng so i can soft reset for shinies unlike the original cart
>>107793873there's around 3 or 4 board layouts, and essentially you want to clear the middle part as much as possible and save the side tiles until you absolutely need to use them. here's the kicker though: you want to sync the depletion of the side tiles with the middle part to complete at the same timepower ups are super useful and you'll probably need to use the swap, the remove 3 tiles plus the revive+remove 3 every game unless you are very luckyother than that, that's it. you'll learn to play and get faster every time you play it and you get unlimited tries per day to complete. i usually just play once to get 200 gems and move on with my day
>>107794281which rom hack or is it something you tinkered with yourself?
So if the tracking I got is for a different city and name, how likely is it a scam instead of being a mix up?I started the refund process but I am not sure what to expect.
>>107794195I'm not going to fuck with emulation until I put a new OS on this bad boy. >can you show us how it runs?It runs "some" PS3 games. You can watch it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muyXnigV7R8
>>107794339its a build of this hack or i guess it should be called a mod since its based on the source?? idk kek thats wehre the folllowing/daynight comes from https://github.com/aarant/pokeemerald the pokemerald source code has a flag for the rng fix which i compiled with, only change ive made is making running shoes work indoors compiled rom here if you want it https://files.catbox.moe/m1m83q.gba it doesnt change save data at all so still works for all base game connectivity features
I almost never buy things from the SuperDeals tab but>You've exceeded the maximum purchase quantity for this item.what the fuck is this shit?

>>107794389Cool, thanks for sharing fren
>>107794344It's a well know chang tatic to reuse tracking codes, so it's probably a scam.

any cool kitchen gadgets or cleaning tools? or anything house related
In 23 days in my shithole they will make it impossible to import anything at all personally. I would have to literally pay $300+ customs procedures for a $1 item.Current situation is 60% tax on all personal imports under 30€.Not sure if anything I would buy today would pass the customs in time before february 1st at this point? probably not unless I pay for the fastest cargo option?
>>107797835Alright deadline is Feb 6th, its a little better it might work now.
>>107797835What shithole is that?
>>107797835What?
>>107798054>>107798106the roach place (for pol)basically even if you buy 1 item you will need to go through the same customs duty procedures as buying a whole box filled with €1499 worth of items. Getting a customs representitive etc for a single item would cost at minimum 200-300 euros (converted).This was basically caused by the lobbying of local companies. They are currently "only screwing buyers by selling a $3 chink shit for $15", now they will be selling them for $30 or $50 because you can't buy the chink shit otherwise.For the last year and a half we could buy anything below €30 by paying "only 60% tax"I bought an iem in 2024 and paid 85% tax because the item was discounted but the tax calculation was based on the original price.Before 2020 I bought over 100 items from aliexpress, including a $400 laptop gpu and I was a frequent poster here.
>>107798357I was going to suggest Taobao route for you, but I don't see any of agents offering duty free-shipping to Turkey. You are screwed.
they've fixed the coins discount page so it only shows you the coin discount again, but the coins discounts all seem much worse nowi'm genuinely going to cry about missing out on a 25% coins discount on a £100 item how could they snatch it out from me
>>107798357Damn that is the most retarded thing i've heard.But even then why do you need to get a "customs representitive", just declare what you paid for the goods and pay the tax? Or does it for some reason work extra retardedly in Türkiye
Bone conduction headphones: meme or not? Chink or not?
>>107798782memeeverything is chink
>>107798618amazon and local similar websites usually have a list of "ships from overseas, arrives in 30 days" products which are just aliexpress/temu chink shit but all sold at at least 3x the price. Nobody ever bought those. So instead they paid the gov to make everything illegal.But I guess someone now has the opportunity to create a "reverse taobao agent" company and make some bank while helping people. Hopefully at least. Because most chink shit isn't even sold locally like for example you can maybe find 1 out of 100 good chink shit iems. >>107798758Dont worry everything is retarded here sadly. The freedom is only for the big companies not the general populace.

Two questions:For europoors: did you already received any parcel with the new tax?XianYu: Did anyone bought from there? How was your experience? I was thinking on getting a couple of phones and chink shit.
>>107798758the reason is corruption
>aliexpress in built cashback is gone and seemingly only for fashion right nowthe dream is dead. the dream is dead. the dream is dead. i could have had 10% cashback they screwed me they screwed me i didn't know this was happening
>>107799273Oh is that why the cashback is 15% this month in my country but doesn't apply to anything. It seemed to good to be true.So Coins are nerfed to death. Cashback is dead. Diamonds are impossibru to redeem. It's over.Maybe they are preparing a supergigapromotion for fifa 2026.
>>107781858i had that happen with a 40% discount that swapped to 20% during the morning, midday accepted my fate and got it anyway, then later that evening it came back, only a $20 dollar item but still
>>107799392>fifa 2026.it's in burgerlandit's over
>import customs clearance completed 6 days ago>no updates sinceaaaaaa
>>107799149No, it's July first that the deadline, then the different cuntrys can impose the taxes whenever they want. I got a package a couple of days ago without any, at least in my cuntry they have to announce it before they do it. So I've been ordering like a woman right now to get everytime I need the next few years.
