My CHUWI FreeBook is on the way. For a budget machine the specs are pretty generous. >Intel Twin Lake N150>16GB LPDDR5>512GB PCIe SSD>2K Display w/ 3:2 Aspect RatioAs long as I don't get hit with the quality control issues I'll be throwing Linux on it. The battery is shit but whatever. If it doesn't work out I'll just get yet another used ThinkPad.
Anniversary haul finally here
Receiving 5000 electronic messages per chinkexpress order pisses me off. I can't even imagine how many trees must be cut down to send this much electronic mail.
>>108559001Let's fucking go>4x4 USB 3.0 SwitcherBy the time it arrived I do not even need it anymore lol>meme keycaps x2Double shot, supposedly PBT, look and feel extremely cheapPerfect to fuck around and maybe dremel something compatible with Tex Shinobi 0.75u>Motherboard and sata power cablesSeasonic-compatible, looks fine, very soft and flexible, perfect length to arrange in my caseWill double check motherboard cable pinout just in case>sata data cablesBeen using these thin "naked" cables in all my builds for years, never had any issues>screwdriver and pliersWhy do I even keep buying ugreen trash. Screwdriver might be okay but pliers feel like they will break on first use
>>108557923it has vesa, not sure about the range but i think it's 48-100/120hzi returned it and ordered the 120hz which at the time of my initial post wasn't yet available or i somehow missed it (it cost about the same with sale coupons+some credits). ghosting is alright, certainly not the best premium gayming monitor, but it's like 1/5 of the price. i didn't notice any fucked up backlight, it looked better than 2 of my other IPS monitors but they are old office dells. i was hesitant to return it as it came with perfect pixels so it's always a risk, but i decided i want that extra 20hz, especially for no cost increase.my 120hz unit should arrive next week so i'll post an update
>>108559141now all I can picture is a chink sweatshop filled with kids playing minecraft punching down electronic trees for all the electronic mail that ali sends out. One kid asks if he can use some of the wood to make an axe but the overseer beats them until they go back to punching trees.

>>108560130I'm using this cable since October 2025 on a 5090. No house fire yet.https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005366658559.html
>>108560148Nothing happened in >>108560114 binquilin
>>108560130>Looking for a kitchen scale want usb c rechargeable but not too many options any idea's /csg/bros?Any reason for USB-C recharge beeing needed?My advice is getting one that runs off AAA batteries rather than coin cells. Cheaper and last longer, plus you can always just pop some in to replace it (more likely to be at hand than a coin cell), and you'll have to do that like once a year anyways.Anyways, I got picrel, which does support USB-C charging (but also AAA batteries - you need to put rechargeable ones in to use the USB-C charging, ot you can just use normal AAA)
>>108560296>>108560130Reason I didn't link it is the listing is down, but I'm pretty sure these cheap ones all use the same load cell anyways.
>buy batch of chink shit Android TV boxes for IPTV project at work>"System updater" application is named "cmgcm.dmkxj.ygbdsk">well that's not suspicious at all>when I first turned on the box it granted me a shell with adb, root, no questions asked>later attempts bizarre shell where only some commands work, keep trying to inject other commands and failing>figure out that system updater app has killed the adb server and spawned a fake one to listen on port 5555>force stop the system updater app and clear it's data, restart, disable it with adb>now I have real adb and root againIt's almost 5AM. This is what I'm doing with my life.
>>108560535You know the rhymeBoss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I shit on company time?Similarly:Boss doesn't get it, doesn't value my time, that's why I buy expensive hardware on the company's dime. Half of "professional" hardware equipment survives because man hours are very expensive, so you just buy some overpriced shit with the company card to save yourself some headaches.
>>108560768In better times we were getting much better stuff for lower prices. But you know the state of the market right now. Almost double the price with few options to choose from so I'm pocketing less off of this. The squeeze isn't just because of the ram shortage etc. Oil crisis has hit my employer as well. It sucks ass but at least I earned it this time.
is there a more reliable way to browse Taobao? I keep getting issues browsing it on a browser, no issues on mobile but trying to get product links there is annoying
>>108560307I'm autistic, realistically I'll just go with rechargeable AAA's like you said
chinese bowpress didnt explodeyay
>Your item has arrived at our FLORIDA DISTRIBUTION CENTER
>>108560946Stop using Librewolf and/or arkenfox/user.js
why are 0.78in earbuds cables so expensive?
>They finally cloned the PSP Go’s proprietary video out dockBoughted one on AliExpress just to see if it works.
>>108559367are those the gliging or whatever the fuck brand?i ordered some myself too, 1.7mm Black on white weeb ones
>>108562628russians really have nothing better to do now that putler blacks out their entire oblast every other day
>>108559367>By the time it arrived I do not even need it anymore lolmany such cases
>>108560859>so I'm pocketing less off of thisNvm if you get to pocket the excess then what you're doing is the right move. Often when the boss says to just buy it with company funds, you don't get to keep what you save, so there's literally 0 incentive there and 5 AM does not sound like tracked overtime, so I wouldn't do that to myself. In your case it makes sense then. Godspeed anon.>>108561061Fair enough. I only tried it once before moving the rechargeable AAAs to a more taxing use, but it worked just fine. Gotta be a little more careful though to not get water or dirt in the port then, rather than just plugging it as I did.>>108561319That's a nice bow you have there anon, cool shit.
>>108563547keep us posted, i also have a psp go (though i have to get a new battery for it)
I occasionally need a microphone for stuff. Is there a cheapo mic that sounds alright?
>>108565355That's one of those questions where it really depends on your usecase and expectations."alright" for some people is "horrific" to others.If you just mean discord calls/teams calls/business stuff/casual stuff, the cheapest you'll get away that's decent is a generic lapel mic.Something that'll be more than enough for your usecase would be one of the fifine USB mics, they have a okay capsule and are plug and play.A step up for videos/content creation a fifine will be your sort of bottom acceptable entry, but upwards there's infinite room for spending money for diminishing returns should you want that.You sound like it's more of a "I'd like to sound good but nothing studio/audiophile/creator level" - so a fifine mic it is.
>>108565355No. Bite the bullet and buy a $100 desktop microphone. It's one of those things that'll last you for decades and everybody will thank you for having good audio quality, so get a nice one.
>>108565414Nigga that's giga retarded.If you want the extra quality at least buy yourself a JLI-2555 capsule and a amp circuit and you get something that btfo the 100$ solution for 20-30$.
>>108565355Fifine T669
>>108565355https://voca.ro/19BaX2lDLGBCRecorded on a cheap fifine mic. Not a great showcase because the audio I'm playing is from my phone so the phone speakers are actually the limiting factor, but even then you can see it's more than enough for casual use. At ~1/3rd max gain from a distance of ~45 cm (which is the distance I have it usually at so it's not near my mouth or annoying me)
,>>108560946It's probably because you're using a VPN.
>>108558725Kek, after 10+ years of using it Ali asked me for age verification to buy a fuckin' snap-off knife. And to add insult to injury, they want me to send my personal data to an israeli company. I guess I'm not buying anything requiring age verification from there - they can kindly o fuck themselves.
>>108565655That's a reasonable decision to make.As for meglory to zionglory to the CCP
>>108565670Frankly speaking I'd have less issue sending it directly to CCP than to Israel.
>>108565690Same here desu.I haven't had the age verification crap yet, but I've seen anons post about it and I'm european, so it's just a question of time I suppose.I mean ultimately you pay on ali with digital money - so they already know everything about you and your money if they want to, but it feels weird regardless.Does the israeli verification thingy say it saves your data or can you get by with a fake passport/stock images? Either way probably not worth a ban.
>>108565705>I'm europeanI'm in Poland. As for the thingie, it asked for access to my camera to take a selfie (both on phone and on laptop), I denied and didn't do anything further. Then I just checked details of the company delivering that ID service and yep, israeli.
>>108565727I'm german, so thank you for the warning based eurobro. If it happens in poland it's just a question of time before I get it as a germansk peasant.Will probably try to figure out a workaround (or skip those items) when it happens, depending on how widespread it is.
>>108563803Keycaps brand is XVX. The only actual japanese keycaps I could find in white on black, or any dart tones at all.The set cost $10 after coupons - less than just the 4.5U spacebar from a reputabe european store.Legends on alphabet keys look good even with rounded corners, but smaller texts on modifiers appear blurry.Note that if you just want a weeb set to use with normal English layout you'd need another set for numbers/symbols, japanese are all different.
>>108565790Cyrillics on the other hand look like shit.
Is the gamesir g8 plus worth it? I already have a x5 lite but it feels uncomfortable to hold now.
>>108565790>>108565909jesasbut imo it looks nice (from the picture)thanks for the info btwthese are what i got, iirc these should be the fat fuck 1.7mm chink clones from gliging
i can still buy onaholes without age verification
>>108562102I assumed it was because of that so I switched over to Chromium, same issue>>108565493not at all, haven't fucked with my network much so I'm not sure if that's an issue
>>108566501Sorry. It was just a guess. I sometimes get these warnings when I'm using a VPN.
Got fake Noctua CPU cooler today.
My dad uses a mibox 1 daily, but it's being slow and he wants something else, is the mibox 3rd gen the better option for replacing it?
>>108567063how much? how they perform compared to the real ones?
>>108565655Need to be 18+ in bongland land to get credit card.Maybe paying via credit card might work?
>>108567184The heat pipes are filled with a proprietary cow dung and horse cum blend
>>108567184https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009601458083.html?I paid $28.91 before any coupons. Fans are silent, and it seems to run fine even with single fan configuration.However, I would expect 120mm coolers to be better deal on Aliexpress, than this 90mm one.
>>108567736i bought that exact 6 pipe dual tower heatsink for like 16 dollars a few years ago.you unironically got noctua scammed just for the fan colors.
>>108567882Could you share link? I am sure that only VAT is real scam here.
>>108567914it was so long ago that it doesn't show up in my purchase history.you can just search for 6 heatpipe heatsink though and find the same ass heatsink without the bootleg noctua fan+markup though. i found one for 23 USD.
>>108558853Genuinely better than expected. - Everything works out of the box on Fedora 44 Beta.- Display is excellent for the price. 2.5K (not 2K), 3:2 aspect ratio, functional touchscreen, 60Hz refresh rate.- Build quality is surprisingly good for a sub-$400 laptop. Feels more premium than the similarly priced e-waste you'd get from a Western vendor.- Keyboard is nice to type on. Keys are sized generously for a 13.5" laptop. Require a fair bit of force to press, which I prefer.- Speakers are tolerable; wouldn't use them to listen to music but perfectly fine for meetings, coursework, etc.- Same for the webcam. Not good (1MP 720p) but fine if you just need to exist in a Zoom call.- 16GB of LPDDR5 is acceptable for the price. 512GB PCIe SSD is slow but can be replaced easily.- CPU is a big weakness. The N150 is fundamentally just a slow chip, and it's meant to be.- You'd be lucky to get 5 hours of battery life out of this thing (especially on Linux), but with a small battery capacity you can get multiple charges from a powerbank if you carry one around anyways.tl;dr - not e-waste but you're probably better off buying a used ThinkPad anyways, I just wanted to try something new. I'll probably get good use out of it though.
>>108567063make a deep scratch somewhere where it's hard to see and tell me is it only plated with copper? does it attract magnet? you could also test for connectivity with multimeter.
>after long internal debate finally order redragon m913 over m908>m913 max becomes available before m913 even arrivesI hate being so indecisive and the universe always find a way to remind me
>>108568405if only they made mmo mice with switches that are not dogwater instead on wasting money on meme DPI sensors cheaping out on the switches
>>108567353who cares. tomato sauce is a perfectly fine thermal paste too.PC accessories are a massive grift.
>>108568423the main difference between m913 and m913 max is actually the sensor and it makes huge a difference in battery life (80 vs 250 hours). the switches could be better, though
>>108567736You know there's a good cooler under 25 called the snowman cooler which you normally buy on chinkexpressYou don't have to get scammed
>>108561319My package is in NEW JERSEY
>>108568091>>it was so long ago that it doesn't show up in my purchase history.NTA, but unless you switched accounts in that time it's more likely you're not looking for the right keywords.I can easily search for stuff from 2021 still and I suspect the only reason I can't go further is because that was around the time I had lost my password to an old account and made a new one.
