Where can I get a wholesale (50-100pcs) of a cable like pic rel, with USB-A/USB-C?Specifically, with the naked USB-A connector. If it can do the full spectrum of USB-C functions, it would solve a number of problems for me and I'd be willing to deal with What apps Chinglish. If power only, I'd still want 50 or so
i got 14 bucks of aliexpress cashwhats the most useless thing i could buy
i could not try to redeem gems today because i didn't know today was the daylight savings time change
>>108329706>Where can I get a wholesale (50-100pcsgotta be Alibaba, but I've seen aliexpress sellers offer items in bulk too>naked USB-A connectorthat's a though one, can't you take a normal metal tipped cable and remove the metal?
Is there a toolless version of pic related? Don't wanna spend a dozen on a crimper that I'll use only once in my life.
>>108329716
>>108330316you can just punch those with a little practice. a pain in the ass but if you only need to do a couple or so
>>10832970650-100pcs isn't really wholesale. That's usually 1k+ pcs.You should probably buy on aliexpress, it's still cheap for you.> If it can do the full spectrum of USB-C functionsA USB cable can't do that. Also the one you show is USB2. I assume what you mean is that it's a USB2 data cable?

Day 10 of not getting to spend my gems
RTL8127 NIC arrived.
>>108331516Keep us posted
>>108331606The card works just fine on Windows 11. This card replaced a TP-Link TG-3468 v2 NIC which was based on RTL8168E. I was working fine, but only with the NDIS driver because they didn't port RTL8168E driver to NetAdapterCx. Could be some technical reason why it was not possible, but oh well. It served me well, and I will keep it in case I need it for another older machine.All I did was I uninstalled the NDIS driver that Realtek provided. The card works just fine with that as well. After I uninstalled there's an old driver that comes with Windows 11, which doesn't support the RTL8127. I do get a link with that, but only 2.5GbE.You have the right driver if in Device Manager you get this: Realtek PCIe 10GbE Family ControllerHere's some hardware IDs, basically it uses standard Realtek PID and VID: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8127&SUBSYS_012310EC&REV_05It doesn't run hot and heatsink is only warm to the touch, so the power consumption is as advertised.
>>108331742Sounds like it was a good purchase.
>>108331606>>108331742Currently I have it in a PCI-E Gen3 x1 slot, so there's a bottleneck, but I will upgrade eventually soon, so it is not an issue.Realtek UEFI UNDI Option ROM version is 2.075, outdated but that's because the PCB has a date code of 2543, which does match with the UEFI UNDI Driver which was available at that time.Haven't tried Linux yet, but should be fine with any distro with kernel version 6.16 or higher.
>>108331753Box got crushed a bit during shipping and they ripped off Intel NIC boxes. There's a scratch on the plastic of the ethernet transformer. Oh, the sticker with the driver link is not alive anymore because Realtek messed with the site. Not really an issue, just nitpicking.
>>108331753
>>108331753Back
all I really wanted was the ionizer and some pad repair wire.
>>108331753Back of the card
>>108331845Okay, dude, I get it. I was just being polite. Stop spamming me with replies. It's not that interesting.

>>108331860And that's totally fine. You asked for details and you got some.
>>108331899i reckon the question is more along the lines of "how well does it work" rather than ebay listing pictures.
>>108331742A couple more screenshots. This time not replying to faggot anon because he's butthurt.

>>108332424$35
what the cheapest ali mouse with optical switches?
>>108331516>>108332567>>108331793>in a PCI-E Gen3 x1 slotOh no... So you have 40-80% of the speed. But what's worse it's a x1 card so even with new mobos it cant run at full speed... Should have been 2-4x.Is there any indication that it supports PCIE5 so that it can run at full speed in 10 years where mobos have thirds pcie5 slots?
My review of common USB battery powered soldering iron ~13€It works okay but the run time is very short and charge is long. Description sounds like 8w charging, battery1000mah, 90min charge time, but that's impossible. 8w would be 30min charge time. The real charge wattage is 2w as much my measurement (pic). The small pcb in the pic takes three charges to complete so a lot of waiting. If it could draw 8-10w to charge you could use it with a charger continuously, but as it is, you cannot and have to wait at 3 hours for a small project. The kit otherwise is decent, solder and rosin is OK. Just a shame they cheaped out on a 2W charge chip instead of a 10-15W one that would not only charge faster but let you use it would make it so much better. Tried to take it apart but couldnt do it without too much destruction.
my chink lain tshirts came they seem decent quality wise especially the middle one the material is thick its great that lain is now popular with tiktok normies theres lain stuff all over aliexpressalso some small female usb c plugs for microusb footprint
>>108332937You can find PCIe 3.0 x4 variants of the same card that has RTL8127AT if you want the full bandwidth and have an older board.
Thoughts on Essager? Especially vs Anker/UgreenLooking at : https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006974245321.html
>>108333086>The small pcb in the pic takes three charges to completejesus. Can it at least be used while charging like a regular pinecil?
Is the Convoy S2+ still the recommended 18650 flashlight or is there something better?
>>108333086I got one of those heart kits but the board was FR-1 and the pads immediately lifted when I tried to put it together. It also didn't come with frosted LEDs. I never did finish it.
>>108334172Wurkkos FC11C goes on sale every so often.Pretty good if you don't mind the e-switch on the side.
>>108333139BUT it costs twice as much as the x1 version. Even more than an AQC107 card.Unless you have a pcie 4 platform RTL8127 is not the way to go unfortunately.
>>108334080if you buy anything from them they will spam you for the rest of your life
aigo ice200 pro for a 3400g, $1.54 after discounts from bundleswow. wowowow. came pre-assembled in perfect condition with thermal paste. was a bit nervous when i was reading the reviews saying that they didn't pack it well enough but i've come to the realization now that a lot of this is due to their local postage service battering it during their inter-office package football league or their postie who chucks it onto the porch to save time
>>108335844so i guess what i'm trying to say is that spanw location is really important
>>108334081It can but it's only 2W so can't be used continuously. Also about the kit I was working as I do with a normal iron, putting a few components, soldering, finding the next ones, soldering and so on. If I put all of the components and taped them down and then soldered all at once maybe I could do it on one charge. Have to change the way you work with such short runtime I guess.>>108334390Ah, bummer. This one seems to be of decent quality and works well in the end. Had it running overnight. I paid about €1.5, it's /item/1005005648322194.html if anyone is interested I would say it's one of the better kits I've had for the price.
>>108335844Looks pretty much identical to my Snowman.Two pipes is eh, but with that kind of TDP it's fine.>>108335986Yeah, I still have the parts and also several thousand LEDs so I could just make my own of whatever shape on some perfboard.The Christmas tree kits are great though as long as you don't get the fast blink RGB LED versions.
>>108336000>several thousand LEDs so I could just make my own of whatever shape on some perfboard.Yeah me too. Made me wonder for a second why I get kits at all but it's just fun to not worry about design and just solder sometimes. When I make my own I always go off-track to add brightness levels or battery operated sometimes with a powerbank function... Fun but different from just building a kit.Since you DIY solder a lot too, we are getting cucked out of chink shit here this summer, do you have any suggestions on cool components to stock up on? Especially interested in lipo charge/discharge boards that are 15w+ with fast charge but anything is welcome
>>108336000i'm building a frankenstein pc using old parts and unorthodox solutions for as cheap as possible. i still have the stock cooler so if anything goes wrong i'll plug that back in
>>108336014Honestly I mostly get jellybean type stuff or neat premade boards like TTP223 or C005. I have several TP4056 for lithiums but I've never really had a need for anything more complex than those.Little LCD/OLED screens and cheap microcontroller boards if you're into those at all.I wish I'd know about LCSC years ago because I probably would have a ton more components, but I haven't tried after all of the tariff stuff.
i grabbed the $1 and $5 today for the first timethe bots are out of sync lmao that is literally the only reason
>>108336081Yeah I did the same thing with mine. Used it on an old 3770 and it keeps it under 70C maxed. If it's at least quieter than stock then you've probably done well.
>>108333137might interest you https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006737279952.htmlthis store was shilled on russian /fa/ chinkwear thread, havent ordered anything from them yet but apparently tees are pretty good
>>108336112Thanks!>C005Interesting, what do you use it for?I wrote a little bit, maybe a future submission to the wiki:"30-1500MA Adjustable Constant Current LED Driver" LDO6AJSA ($0.2-0.5)A small PCB to control current primarily for LEDs, it's cheap and easy to integrate. It limits the current to your LEDs with analog adjustment to set them to the brightness you like.You can hack it by desoldering the potentiometer and connecting your own 10-100k potentiometer and then you have a nice knob to adjust the brightness."TP4056 Lithium Battery Charger Module" ($0.5-1)Simple and reliable blue little charge board, availible with micro and USB-c ports. A must have for making your own battery powered projects or for conversions."Type-C USB 5V 2A Boost Converter Step-Up Power Module Lithium Battery Charging Protection Board" V713 ($1.2-$2)Not just a simple charger board but still tiny, this board gives you full 10W powerbank functionality complete with power indicator and 5V solder pads for whatever you are building. Identified by the V713 on the back.Warning: Be careful to not draw more than 2A on the pads or it will let out it's magic smoke and die."Lithium Battery Charger Board DC-DC Step Up Boost Module" LX-LCBST ($0.6-$1)This module integrates a lithium battery charger with a step-up boost module adjustable between 4-28V. Suitable for things like LEDs connected in series, or converting old 9-18V equipment to be USB-C charge battery operated.

>>108334172> Convoy S2+ You rarely hear about this one in these threads, dunno why, but you probably summoned the flashlight autists who can explain it to you. I got the Sofirn sc18 a while ago and I’m quite happy with it (pic related). >>108336736Or maybe it’s for tanning where the sun doesn’t reach?I’m quite interested in such a pillow, but I don’t know if I’d want a hunk of Chink foam that offgasses who-knows-what in large volumes in my bed.

Does anyone have any experience with pic related? My old benq mouse has started acting up after a decade of usage and it got to the point I have to fight now, so I think it's time it retires. A friend of mine swears by the PRO version of pic related and I can get behind that, but if anything I'd like to stick to the 10 dollar version for maximum poorfag credIs it any good?
>>108337170Bought one for my gf, she's happy with it.The battery lasts almost a month.For 15$ it's a deal.
a brand new 386 notebook is kinda cool.but whats the usecase for this ?

>>108337170I own that one but the scroll wheel became kinda slow after a year so I got another chink model.
Can yall recommend me any small handheld pc that can run old WinXp games (vtmb and kotor specifically) on the go??
>>108337170I've had the Pro version for over a year now. It's pretty good. I think it's worth the price, especially if you game. The only issue I've had with it is that the USB-A to USB-C adapter that came with it stopped working, so I bought a new one on Ali for about $1.50.

I ordered a 37 cent fountain pen and it somehow got marked as a "special goods" and is zooming to usa. Gonna end up getting this shit in under a week wow.
>>108336207>Interesting, what do you use it for?Dunno lol. It's just a cool variable timer. I thought about using it on a solar light or something.>LDO6AJSAkek, I have some of those already and should get some more. If I recall it even has a PWM pin on it so you could control it that way too.
>>108338646No. Like I wrote it's advertised 90min charge time and 3.7Wh battery = 2.5W charge. 2.5W is not weird it's standard USB2 power. As for it showing 2.1 that could be error in measurement or just the throttling as it gets full.I could replace/add a better charge chip but not without cutting into the case but as of now I can't even get it open non-destructively.
>>108339498>LDO6AJSAIm a big fan so I bought 20 but I should get more. For a long time I used a lot of 1W-rater 1ohm resistors to current limit 3W LEDs, what a waste. I wonder if there is more cheap and awesome components like this.I even forgot the PWM. I haven't really gotten into microcontrollers, any recomendations? I kinda gravitate towards pi pico w, easy and massive support. I would say wifi and/or BT is kind of a must.
>>108340347>I would say wifi and/or BT is kind of a must.Probably look into the ESP32 stuff then. I've only dabbled in it myself and haven't really cooded, but they're pretty crazy for the price. The newer ones are actually RISC-V.
>>108339140What were the import fees on a 37 cent pen
Any affiliate codes or coupons? I'm going to order a new DAP and it's $630 so I'd appreciate any coupons.
Any recommendations for a double hdd enclosure or docking station?
>>108340586There are no separate import fees. It's all baked into the price of products for usa imports.

>>108341091You can get similar gloves from local stores and the gloves will actually be certified.I don't think the chink ones will be worse, but this way you can be sure they are actual motorcycling gloves.Hell, if you are willing to get something a bit simpler you can get a proper brand name. Revit Mosca can be had for as low as 35€. https://www.xlmoto.es/product/guantes-de-moto-raven-harz-lt_pid-PIA-409156Just an example, haven't looked much into it.

>>108334172It's pretty hard to beat Convoy flashlights for the price. I've got four, and I've bought a few as gifts. Offerings outside the S2+ aren't as feature rich as lights from other brands, but they still provide some of the best value for money.I'd order from the Convoy website direct as they have more options and cheaper than Ali. I've done it a few time without issue.I've never had to use them, but I only hear good things about their customer service. If you have a problem they always try to help, whether it's holding your hand, sending you replacement parts, or a completely new light.If you get deep down the rabbit hole and want a combination not offered on the site, company owner Simon is happy to take orders for those. I don't think he charges extra for one off super custom flashlights beyond the parts prices on the website. If you ask for a part like an LED he doesn't normally stock, he'll look and see if it's viable for him to order and stock the part.Both good sites for reviews.https://tgreviews.com/https://1lumen.com/

Bought some new Li-ion batteries for my Oneplus 6 from the official Oneplus spare parts store (https://service.oneplus.com/gr/search/search-detail?id=2109813).Turns out they are all from 2020 and they didn't even bother to keep them charged for storage, they came totally discharged. Basically new old stock.Well, still better than aliexpress fakery i presume, at least they look legit and hope they last longer than 2017 batteries from used phones.
i have a questionsince i'm never home during the week and still want to do some stuff with a pc, can i build some cheap mini pc with aliexpress parts?how does buying a gpu or cpu go in aliexpress?can you get something decent for like 200$ or less?something to launch steam and yugioh master duel
>>108348813for a base you're probably better off looking locally, for example you could look for used SFF workstations (already include the case, motherboard, power supply, cooler etc.), thin clients etc. Businesses dump a ton of used stuff like that for cheap. But ali is a great source of old used Xeon CPUs. I wouldn't buy any chink motherboards though.As an example, last year I built a cheap emulation box from SFF HP Z240 (40€), low profile 750ti (50€), 2x8GB DDR4 ECC (28€ back then, yeah, i know...) and Xeon E3-1270 v6 from ali (30€). You can probably get even cheaper, this build was very specific as it was to be plugged to CRT so it required a particular dedicated low profile GPU that could output TV signals, so i paid a bit premium for an old GPU.Going for a newer platform with an integrated GPU would probably be more cost efficient, the base itself could be much more compact if it doesn't need to accommodate PCIe cards, so basically the thin clients, mini pcs etc.
