Completed the 100 day world tour. Now I just have to spend it... right?
>>108901802good luck. i got the $50 once and now the page never loads for me so i can't even redeem $1there's a new 100 day path which gives $10 in shopping credit and i think that's worth. the "game" up to day 90 is super easy as long as you don't have 10x car sort early on
so i made a script to mostly automate mergebossanyone interested?if someone could improve it that would be good
according to google the next aliexpress sale is in a week, is this a legit sale or one of the meme ones? during the last sale the tablet I want was $100 cheaper, I am asking because I wonder if I should just order the tablet today or wait
>>108902725it will be a choice sale wich is better than most meme sales
>>108902725Google Ai lies, Find actual resources to get reliable information. There is always a sale.
does a battery powered portable kettle that can boil water properly exist? or usb-c one i can use with a powerbank/ portable power station. manual one extracts better but need a kettle to boil the water and the battery one heats water, but extracts mediocre because it isnt really hot enough for a proper brew.
>>108905141You'd need a large battery to boil a significant amount of water. You can look up the energy needed and compare that to battery capacity to see the physics you're dealing with. And that's not even really considering the sustained current required.
>>108905141why would you buy a knock off nanopresso, those are already almost all plastic, you want those parts made out of shit plastic too?
>>108905141You'll need something like 4000-5000 mAh to heat 150 ml to boiling from room temp.However that assumes you can dump that energy instantaneously into the water, which you can't. At the speed that normal powerbanks discharge (15W) that's almost an hour. At 65W (which is already quite good) that's 14 minutes. If you had a 100W one that's still 9 minutes. TL;DR: What >>108905304 said, it takes a lot of energy to heat water.Your options are either a good thermos, and pre-boiled water, or you get yourself a camping gas-stove. You'll need to get the canister at a local outdoor store but you can get the nozzle/burner on ali.
whats the /csg/ recommended gaymen miceive been busting my head over trying to minmax my choice
>>108905398Alcohol stoves are cheap and fun too, but a little harder to use.
>>108905446True, or basically anything that a hiker would use. (Wooden rocket stove, hobo stove...) I think gas is the easiest and most versatile to use (and also coincidentally what I use when I have outdoor coffee) but alcohol is a close second and comes with the advantage of being more compact if prepared right.>>108905417Just get a VXE R1 Pro max. If that's too expensive, cheaper R1s are also fine. Whatever you get, do not bother with high polling rate.
>>108905141yeah, as >>108905398 saidjust get yourself a gas stove - most convenient after trying different thingsfolding out stoves for twigs technically are cheaper to run, but your cups and stove itself will get sooty wanna run cheap and compact - get titanium mini stove, get refilling valve, smallest gas canister you can get and large canister at least here - smallest 170g gas canister costs as much as large one>weigh how much smaller canister is full>note on the bottom>use up all the gas>weigh empty and note also now you can check weight and refill your canister before each trip if neededyou'll always have plenty of gas without needing to carry heavy canisterssmallest canister and stove fit perfectly in 550ml (titanium) cup
Any of you ever bought an air conditioner from ali? They can be really cheap but I'm really not sure about reliability. My room isn't large so this one would suffice. They do have lots of sales + reviews.
thanks bros. guess a butane / gas stove would be the most energy efficient and practical way to do it.
Is 25/75 Tin any good for soldering?
>>108906140wtf, never heard of that oneits probably better mechanically, regular leaded solder is weak as fuck
>>108905593Does not work, you need fresh air flow to get cool which is not something a closed room can do.
>>108905756Now you can be a real camper
>>108905141As others said batteries are no good but there is more to stoves than gas, alcohol stoves can be smaller albeit heavier since you're carrying a liquid fuel and there is also good old wood/charcoal stoves which come with free infinite fuel.
>>108905446yeah i'm not going to pay the alcohol tax just to burn it, gas is more common in stores
How do I find good quality triangular folding brackets? The kind you'd use to mount wood shelves to a wall
>>108906336>>108905593my dad has one which looks like thatit comes with a funnel which sucks air from the outside and wedges into your window. it works ok but obviously cannot compete with inbuilt aircons which are bigger and more powerful and can displace more air
>>108902725the items i bought today were slightly cheaper or the same price as they were during the last few sales.i just bought instead of waiting because i got to use my 1 dollar off from a delayed order coupon.it always depends on your item, just add them to your cart and make a note of the price and see if it drops.

>>108906140>Is 25/75 Tin any good for soldering?Obviously not nigga, look at those melting points. Most soldering irons I've seen top out at 400C.But what should really matter is what you're soldering.Generally the only reason special solder mixes/alloys are made is for soldering specific materials like copper to aluminum or copper to steel, something non-standard when compared to the normal copper to copper soldering you see in electronics.
Do gems ever expire?
>>108901615Hey anons, I need to buy a new phone and was thinking about getting the Redmi 13 for ~130e. Have any of you used it/does this seem like a reasonable price to you guys?
>>108908533I've been looking at these too since the heatwave started and they do make them in larger capacities, biggest one I've seen so far is 14k BTU.
>>108909027The software will be buggy and full of ads.I had a higher end redmi note and it couldn't even take calls without crashing.
>>108909377going to balance the positive and negatives here:+ cheap+ portable so you can use it in diff rooms+ easy to pack away and store in the colder monthsand now the negatives which some i feel are deal breakers:- loud with many parts which vibrate- low power compared to real aircons- works very slowly because of the amount of air in the room and fan sizes- must act as both dehumidifier AND aircon to cool the air which these are kind poor at in both respects. now, i live in aus with extremely low humidity in the summer and my dad's unit could only do a stable 21C. any lower and it'll need to work harder exponentially. places with higher humidity like the UK and it'll be very stressedi got through my 35C days by shaving my head, going shirtless, taking cold showers 5x daily for a min or two and eating a lot of ice blocks and homemades slushies. if possible i'd buy it locally and you'll know after a week after using it if it will work for youall the best anon
>>108909027https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011900415716.htmlis this the store you're looking at? if yes i don't think it's legit
>>108909665No I was using amazon.fr, I haven't had issues before and it doesn't indicate it is refurbished so I assume its a new phone
>>108909677hm, check very carefully because this is a 2 year old phone that's out of circulation. if they're on the level then i'd go for it
>>108909688Checked and here is the link; the vendor is the official Xiaomi one I think :>amazon.fr/Smartphone-Xiaomi-Redmi-13-Double/dp/B0D4SMFD94/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
>>108909700yeah it looks like an official store. price is really good though since everything went updo note that this phone is super underpowered for today's standards even if it has 8gb ram. are you able to find the poco m5 or m5s there? also try looking for Realme Narzo 50 8GB which has the helio g96
>>108909771Thanks for the help bro, I see a used Poco M5 for 90e or a new one from the Xiaomi website for 185e and a new Poco M5s on amazon for 130e. I would have to be fast though as there is only 1 left. Should I do it anon?
>>108908533>>108909377>>108909616look for portable ac split instead. you want it to be split
>>108909807the M5 is a REALLY good phone and i was looking for it a year ago on ali before they pulled itthe cpu is omega value g99 which can do 4k, uses lcd so no burn in, the camera is so-so but can be enhanced with gcam, has gps but no nfc and can handle custom roms forever and has a plastic back with clips so battery changes are simple (no glue or hairdryer needed)but it's used, that worries me. swapping the screen is not that hard if you need to do it. i am using the poco m5s right now. it's a beautiful phone around 25% stronger than the redmi 13, has gps/nfc and amoled (it looks very nice)
>>108909027it old and on a 12 nm chipset. for 130 you can get something better for sure
>>108909836Hmmm alright anon you have convinced me, I'll get the M5S then as you have suggested, again thank you for the help you and one other guy in the thread I've made are the only people that gave me actual suggestions. >>108909838Thanks boss, I've settled on the M5S
>>108906874You can almost buy the Nadeshiko butane light. Search for "butane camp light", none of them are exactly it. The one I got is at least good quality.
>>108909917enjoy the phone anonif you're looking to flash a custom rom and don't care about bank stuff then it shares the codename with redmi note 10s with android 15/16
>>108905593Do not ever buy a single hose air conditioner, they are shit. It must have 2 exhaust hoses to work properly.>>108909925why would you use gas for light? My LED flashlight is rated for something like 100 hours at that light level.
>>108906140If you have to ask, the answer is>get rosin core 63/37 from a reputable electronics supplier like Digikey or Mouser
>>108909947>why would you use gas for lightIt's for laid-back camping.
>>108902001>uncompressed pngso, like a .bmp file?
>>108910458to normiefolk uncompressed often means no visible lossy compressionit is possible to encode a png with the compression level set to zero but that would be pointless here
1080p 60hz PC monitor. No fancy bullshit, preferably LED. Won't mind if there's no audio or higher refresh rate. Budget. Help me.
>>108911192>BudgetThe absolute best way for that is always to buy used and have some basic electronic skills to clean it properly (opening it up) in case of some kind of nigger owning it before you.
>>108911376alright, not TOO budget. I do have some money to spare and I want an okay-ish option. I'm already using a hand-me-down from a friend as a stopgap
>>108911192try to read in displayninja's websitei honestly forgot if it's viewsonic or vizio that was good (back in ~2019 lol)i also forgot which panel did they get it from (LG/samsung), sorry about that
I have a China trip planned in a while, been wanting to upgrade my PC as well, wondering if it would be worth it to pick up some RAM over there? Shit was already super cheap when I was there last time, but idk about PC parts.
Any thoughts on Maono microphones? Are they any good?
>go check on my knife order which is ALREADY ordered>mmmm you gotta send the chinks your ID and biometrics, don't worry it will be sent through a literal KIKEI am never sharing my shit voluntarily with a chunk and a kike. You will have to steal it as usual.
> look at options for more expensive solder fume extractors> filters cost nearly as much as the whole unitI guess I'll resign myself to recounting how many spools of solder smoke I've inhaled as I lay dying the lung cancer ward.
>>108913297Are you buying some giga-goy branded setup or something? There's only like 3 other components in a fume extractor and they're all very cheap, the frame, the fan, and the ducting.You can also just DIY one yourself with an old case fan and a charcoal filter.
I want to buy things like these to pose my gunpla but I literally don't know what they're called. Preferably I want sets of them with various types of things like this to try out
>>108913397Figure stand, just guessing, not a buyfig or anything…
>>108913397Did you try using their reverse image search?
>>108913397try action figure base, but also >>108913886
>>108905593the single hose air conditioners dont work because they pull the air out of your room and blow it outside through the hosenow that there's an underpressure in your room it will suck in warm air everywhere it can essentially undoing any cooling the AC didthis is why AC units are usually split, one side that cools shit on the outside, and the other side using the cooled shit to cool your room
>>108901615>15 year old AliExpress account Dear costumer, are you u sure you didn't sign up with us when you were a 24 month old baby with a credit card?We want your ID and live webcam confirmation so this sick AI China is building can mimic your identity when we want to sell your house or car for example when you're sleeping. Don't worry about your data, it is not processed by AliExpress (we don't want to handle any more lawsuits). We chose some 3rd party company in Israel(jew kikes) to do that for us, they are known to leak or "get hacked" but you trust out team here on AliExpress, right? Try to remember all those order disputes that we fucked you on. You had to open a dispute again on your PayPal or Your Bank account to get your money back. All the stress and headache we caused you BUT this time we are ready to fuck you so hard into the grave that we just need that credit card, face livestream + ID from you, we at AliExpress or our 3rd party companies won't be doing the actual scamming this time, it's gonna be some hacker AI agent emptying everything to your name into our chinese crypto exchanges. Just trust us this one last time, valued costumer.

>>108913343I'm looking at larger boxes than the most basic. Those have bigger filters. I want one that moves air. Not a little box they put a fan into and throw a hepa filter on top. The price jump is quite large.
bros, i'm buying a new apartment and i will need to buy everything new, it only has an old fridge, a table and a couple cabinets. i'm looking second hand close to me for furniture and suchis there anything worth buying online new? i'm thinking maybe kitchen stuff like dishes and knives, and some lamps
>>108920307the issue is i'm struggling to think of things that i actually would like to have in my house. i barely ever use 5% of all the stuff that i have in the apartment i am right now
>>108920307electric air duster
>>108920327OK so make a list and come back and tell us what you need
any ideas what these could be called and if I could even find more of them I feel like this might be too specific, they house the power and reset buttons on my pc case and one of them broke
>>108920307xiaomi 4 Smart air filter, rated great for small rooms by Fresh House (the website that google took down because they don’t pay SEO). Keep one in your room and never suffer breathing bad air again.
>>108921618It's called switch housing but you will only find standalone replacement for mx keyboard switches.Just look up case power switches and see if any fit the size.
>>108921708No luck even with this but I'll keep looking, thanks either way. I'll probably just use the one still intact for the power button since I wasn't really using the second one anyway
