If you're the first, head over to reddit, there's plenty of subs for retarded manchildren who are too dumb for even todays lego, where the instruction are meant to be understood by lobotomized 4 year olds.If the latter, i have ordered a bunch of random, no-brand parts and things, and they've all been somwhere between good and adequate. I've got some MouldKing and Cada Technic stuff which easily is better than lego (not only cheaper), but it also suffers from the same issues as lego: It's more display models to be put on display in a man cave and not a toy to play with and to learn about gears and stuff. There's some education sets though (lego has those too, but they're essentially lego price + 300% markup, 'cause it's for schools, fuck that) which are technic as its meant to be.XingBao is interesting, they do a nice mix of normal lego and technic which is quite playable, but their quality (both stones and "built quality" of the final truck or so) isn't too great. Not exactly bad, but not great either.
>>108375641>is there anything even worth buying from ali? its more expensive than local retailers nowadaysStill plenty of stuff left that's cheaper, higher quality or simply not available "locally". But you're right, it's not as simple anymore as in ye goode olde days.To compare to the not-lego example above: In Germany, there's bluebrixx who are doing their own sets out of chink parts, but also sometimes just straight resell Cada or XingBao, if you get stuff on sale, it might be cheaper there, so it's worth checking. But e.g. some MouldKing stores ship their stuff from EU, so that's quite the gray area.

>>108377380Could you believe that so much of this has been caused by project 2025 and Trump? I'm not even American but i can think of at least 3 ways the things he's done has affected me.
>>108377380just imagine you were in a movie anon. You were a movie character, and everyone was talking about AI getting more and more powerful, and suddenly there's shortages of all the important computer things because it's all being hoarded to make the AI more powerful. What would you think was happening?
>>108377453>Could you believe that so much of this has been caused by project 2025 and Trump?I mostly blame all the dataserver AI shit and normgroids who consume it. Who came up with it and for what reason, I can't tell with 100% certainty. ML has been a thing for well over a decade, and I doubt Trump or any other of these fart sniffing retards were behind it. The AI shit has definitely always had super dystopian roots though. Russia was heavily invested in neural networks for its own oppressive purposes since the very start. Already in like 2015-2016 Yandex developed a super complex facial recognition system for the Russian government (it's also why their image search engine was so good for a long time).
>>108377460The rich and powerful are pooling their resources to make goycattle obsolete or to create a giant underclass of slaves. Maybe there's something they aren't telling us. Maybe we're on a collision course with an enormous meteorite and all the richfags have realized that their attempts to push us to move to Mars haven't succeeded, so they cooked up plan B and decided to accelerate our efforts by any means possible. Slave labor + AI. It's either that or they just want to genocide almost everyone, so they could touch kids in peace.

I just manually counted out the 3000+ pieces of fake lego I ordered from Ali months back Took hours. Usually when I order I have stuff missing and it means I have to pause a build so I thought I'd check beforehand this time.And after all that there was only a grand total of 4 pieces missing, with a few extras.
>>108377745I've ordered a few sets myself, and every single one of them had missing pieces. What I did a while back was order a huge bag of all kinds of pieces and so far it's been very helpful. I sometimes also cannibalize sets that I save for later and note down what kind of parts I took, so I can purchase them later.
>Your package has been marked "Delivery failed"FUCKING HELLwill try to get hold of postnl tomorrow, these niggers have simply stopped half way and just apparently went>lmao fuck this guyand marked my delivery as failed...
Anyone have any good power bank recommendations? Preferably under like $25 with a built in type c cable.
>>108378116I stopped using aliexpress and switched to taobao with a third party shipping company, because aliexpress' logistics combined with my country's postal system is an unholy combination conjured in the deepest pits of hell. They lost so many of my fucking packages last year, and others took months to arrive. Fuck that. I get shit shipped to me from China in 10-14 days tops nowadays.
>>108378039The lego replica sets I've ordered have been really bad on missing pieces. I've started them and then just had to put them on pause for a while till I can get replacements. It kinda ruins the build. This one was an MOC and honesty, 4 missing pieces across 3500 or whatever is quite impressive. I expected far worse. To the point I feel maybe I didn't need to count these out manually and waste hours. But oh well. Are there sellers that list random notlego bags? seems like a good idea.
Anyone has experience with pic related?or other similar recommendations,for gym and runningthese are 12 eur and theres cheaper"pro combat" labeled ones for 4 eur, but I am also be interested in higher end ones
Is this a new Aliexpress thing? I've been getting those flight numbers in my trackings recently, don't remember Ali ever sharing those with the customer. It's pretty fun to follow the planes in real time
>>108378261>Are there sellers that list random notlego bags?Yeah. There are sellers that specialize exclusively in random pieces or single pieces. You can just order a bunch of shit from them.

But maybe that's just me wanting to believe.
>>108377040Okay, I ordered it. Don't think I'm going to get a better deal than this, because at least here the shipping is (almost) free, and in other places I'd also have to pay half the price just to ship it.

Looking for an OTF with a Warhound style blade. I saw one that had it as an option once but neglected to save it for later. Since then all I can find are Hellhounds. Anyone have any idea how I can try and find this again? Combinations of "Warhound Knife" "Warhound OTF" "Warhound Microtech" aren't yielding any real results.

>>108388330skill issue. use the app coins menu>>108388553no they aren't?
>>108388577Probably goes by account. My main page is mostly 1-3% discounts at this point and on the history/super I almost never see anything over 60% on things I might actually want. It definitely changed after they did the total discount display and combined cart stuff. More listings limit quantities so you can't game the Choice shipping too.

Haul arrived>LightbulbIt's nigh impossible to get a decent E27 LED bulb. I got this one because they advertised 90 CRI. It's suspiciously lightweight, probably cheaped out on the driver. It's a bit dimmer than my 80 CRI bulb of the same wattage.Light seems about the same, can't really tell if there's any difference.>X540-T2 10G NICNot much to say, it's an ancient Intel card. Was only $10, even has a fan.>wifi 7 cardIt's the Intel BE200 which has somehow become the cheapest option for a wifi 7 card. I ordered the desktop mount kit since it wasn't much more than just the card. I thought they'd send both full and half height bracket but there's only a full height so now I have to order a half height one. Kinda annoyed.It comes with two antennas that look identical to the ones on my AC68U. Huh.
>>108389922those fans usually die pretty early and you know they are shit from how loud they can get if you have the unfortunate experience of getting an ancient warehouse card

>>108390969I can find OK, usable bulbs easily but not actually good bulbs like those sunlike bulbs, or basically anything with decent R9.I guess they decided E27 bulbs must be for poorfags because I can easily find high quality desk lamps, spotlights or downlights just not E27 bulbs.

Aliexpress is like 90% of all my purchases, but not everything works. I wouldn't buy anything that uses a battery from aliexpress. I bought an ebike and the battery died in less than a year, I also keep buying hand held vacuums and they keep dying in a few months. I have had flashlights dying on me too (I'm really into hiking at night). But for everything else ali is great. You can buy things like tray CPUs and refurbished GPUs which work great. And of course, technology apart you can buy all sort of plastic shit from them. I collect anime figurines and the ones from aliexpress cost like 3 time less than the retail ones and it's the same exact shit.
>>108391127I don't have a meter but I doubt it's actually good, the thing feels cheap as hell, you wouldn't stick decent LEDs into something like this.https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=846524225841
>>108375641this is my experience as a European anon. CPUs, ram and older refubrished GPUs are great on Ali. Anime figurines are great, you can find them under 10€ in aliexpress when they are sold locally for 30€. Car and motorcycle accessories are also worth it. Outdoor shit is also really good in aliexpress, even if they are more expensive now, you can find thing like dirt cheap tents and other camping material which just works. Also gun related accessories are way cheaper than brand name things. You can also get plastic lifting weights for cheap.Clothes are not worth it, Shein is better because their shit quality is also ridicously cheap. Electrodomestics aren't worth it on Ali, you can find cheaper things in physical stores and the Ali batteries are bad. And heavy shit is almost never worth it due to the increased shipping costs. That's my experience with aliexpress, they are basically good for niche things and plastic shit.
>>108388226I used to buy knives from ali but recently they censored search results. Now you have to search for tactical shit and when you see a knife just click on it and they will start recommending you other knives. But they are more expensive now and it's not worth it. There are european brands who resell chink knives for cheap-
>>108391184i dont buy tat, im not sick in the headali has fuck all car parts, the only stuff you can get is generic crap like valve coverscamping gear i get from decathlon, outdoor stuff from anywhere with a good salealiexpress used to be good for chinese brands, but jingdong has obsoleted them with same day delivery from european warehouses

Any USB cable tester recommendations?Is there something that can test both cable integrity and power supplies, and not just display real time voltage but actively negotiate protocols etc.
this is so fucking good bros. makes cleaning the toilet so much easier. especially since the kids wanted to do it now because of it.
>>108391165leds themselves are cheap>>108392317the fuck is that?
>>108392322toilet brush with disposable sponges with the detergent soap embedded on it. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNIu9nRit smells nice and was colorful so the kids were like we wanna do it. probably toxic though.
>>108392343Are they one use and done? They don't look like they fit in the stand thing.
>>108392317that's fucking retarded
>>108392294Anon bought that cable tester or one similar, I havent seen anything else.But testing cables and power supplies... Or testing a whole system (supply + cable + device) is different.A cable tester like that is mostly good for bulk-testing cables. I bought a KWS-2301C, it will measure the current and voltage. Since you can change the power supply, cable and device you can thus test everything with it.
>>108392294You aren't going to find a proper cable integrity tester (as in, able to measure conductor reliability / data pair requirements / etc.) outside of the usual chink connectivity / chip operation mode testers that doesn't cost thousands due to it being an industry specific thing.
Any thoughts/reviews on clothes from Aliexpress? I've never really had a negative interaction with the site but I've never bought anything that touches my body. Normally just electronics or figures. Thinking of buying meme clothes like Art Attack Jumpers and gaming themed clothes. Guess it's the same as usual, only buy from highly rated, established stores?

>>108393426its fine. almost all underwear I have is from Ali. as well as shorts t-shirts and some other stuff.
>>108393451I love those metal spudgers. I have one sitting on my desk right now.
>>108393459Thanks, just to clarify for these kinda threads. Nothing I purchase is going to go inside me.

>>108393426Shein is usually the chink seller of clothes. Used to be they had good deals. I have some clothes from there, they were cheap, fabric a bit thin and sizes small, but otherwise fine.

>want to get og maosium headphones >reviews made by chain buyers who compare them to every previous model released 6 months apartDoes that mean these headphones are prone to breaking? I'm buying csg because I'm in 3rd world.
>>108393609To be fair toilet brushes and their holders do get kinda gross and disposable brushes actually sound like a decent alternative, but I'm not sure if I'd try it myself.
>>108393426Thin and mostly disposable. The meme clothes are an even worse offender and tend to have an off-putting smell to them sometimes but they are dirt cheap so the half a year to a year they survive is good enough. Avoid things that are supposed to be water proof like rain coats as they will stink.
