>decide to buy some bootleg anime figs and random crap>place order for 5 items>submitted payment page never redirects>get 5 emails... each referencing the same order number and showing the same itemSo now I wait to see what I'm actually charged and what I actually get. Never had this shit happen before. I guess Chang is also using LLMs to code. But thanks for the discount code. Helped defray some of Trumpedo's tariffs.
not a fan of chink garbage. had to resolder their stuff 2 times already
>>109224896Thanks for your thread contribution
>>109224896That's awful.May I interest you in some bootleg Fumos instead?
How are the Casio homages on ali
>>109225030I've only ever bought one, and I've never owned the actual Casio equivalent, so I can't say how it compares to a real one, but back in 2022 I bought a SKMEI knockoff of, I think, a Casio A500WA, for just over $10 USD.Pros and cons:+ It's still entirely functional, so I guess I'm closing in on $2.50 per timekeeping-year.- The finish on the case is a metal-look coating on plastic, and has worn down to what I can best describe as a natural nylon color at the fillets.- It runs a little slow; losing maybe a minute every couple of months.- The metal band tends to collect black residue and sometimes stain my wrist with it, but from what I can see, this seems to happen even with high-dollar watches too. I just scrub the band with an old toothbrush whenever I notice it.Overall, I'm perfectly fine with what I got for what I paid.
Has anyone bought chinese motherboards on ali? Something like JINGYUE B550I?
>>109225591why? boards are cheap even when new. its not like a board that nobody else makes.
>>109225843I got some spare pc parts that i planned to use on "cheap" am4 itx build. I believe that jingyue mobo is cheapest one that has 2 nvme slots.
>eu introduces 3 eur tax for packets>ali makes you pay 3.66 so they're applying vat to that too
>>109224886yeah imagine a guy's first order being around +30 items
>>109226276Somehow still cheaper than buying locally. I fucking hate this fake middleman economy
>>109226414I'd rather pay those 3 euros than give a cent to any local business and its army of enslaved south Americans
Yuropoors solidarize with Merimutts over dumb fuck politicians making everything worse and expensive for everyone for no good reason whatsoever
>>109226422Seems to me like they want to do protectionism without really having anything to protect. Same with trump.
Anyone here have any experience with the new EU tax? did the chinks find a way to come around it?
I am in EU, every type of item (on the declaration form) imported from china attracts a 3 euro surcharge (for example buying 1 pen will have 3 euro surcharge, buying 1 pen and 1 pencil will add another 3 euros), so until there is a way around this I will not be ordering any /csg/
>>109226449Yep, out of touch politicians that want to stop the evil Chinese market flood while... not having a market of their own to go to after closing off the Chinese one as they've made it impossible to manufacture anything domestically and outsourced everything to Asia. Out of touch, short-sighted morons are running the world and are in charge of the nuclear codes. What wonderful times we live in.
How reliable is MOKiN as a brand? Does anyone have any experience with this usb-c hub?https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005007470075545.html
For the anon who wanted to see real pics of the shark figgy
>>109227034Eye print is different from the listing pics because that one is a professionally painted garage kit, Chang must’ve bought one GK and turned it into a mass produced figure. Looks good despite that
>euro sissies crying about the 3€ goy taxJust farm diamonds from World Tour and Gogo match, exchange them for credits to get free shit like this
>>109227503you boughted the Dickripper too? tho I paid $40 even with coupons tell me your farming ways fren
>>109227024https://overengineer.dev/blog/2021/04/25/usb-c-hub-madness/
> still can't redeem diamonds> still grinding the gameswhat's wrong with me.
>>109227562The biggest income is from World Tour, I personally do the 30 days challenge that nets you 200.000 diamonds, it's not such a hassle to complete unlike the 60 or 90 days ones, where towards the end you will have to do shit like complete 5 hifi rush levels or 8 levels of shell shuffle, multiple days in a row.Second best income is from gogo match, namely from winning the legendary league, where first place nets you 50.000 diamonds, the strat I use for cheesing an easy win is by when I promote to legendary from diamond, I keep my xp below 50K so my upcoming opponents are easy losers. Usually 200-300K xp is enough to win the first place. Then I keep my xp as low as possible to demote back diamond, keep my xp count still as low as I can but just enough to promote back to legendary, with easy opponents. Rinse and repeat and you can get 100k from this every month. To quickly farm xp, complete 4 new levels in gogo to get 30 minutes of unlimited life and spam level 11, it gets you 1000xp on average and it takes like 4 sweeps to complete, you can get around 100-120K xp from spamming that level in 30 minutes.This + doing stuff like watch chink slop for 15s for 50 diamonds, daily check in, easy and fast games like otters treasure and price land will get you about another 50K diamonds in 30 days. So around 350K diamonds every month.Credits are difficult to redeem, for me the $5 ones get sold out in 2 seconds after a refresh, $50 often isn't even available, so I don't bother with that one. My strat for this one is to tap on "view more" in "exchange for rewards" exactly one second before 12am (11:59:59am / 23:59:59), which is the time when credits refresh and claim $5 with $1 asap. This time I managed to claim all those credits with 90% success rate.In theory if you have enough diamonds, you can claim up to $48 worth of credits before the first ones start to expire. Enjoy
another general lost its subject this week
>>109228289> World Tour>it's another 10 level of gogo match episodei'll pass
>>10922834810 levels of gogo match is a blessing compared to hifi rush cancer or shelf shuffle. Literally spam the first level 10x times, takes less than 2 minutes to meet the quota.
>>109224623anyone from EU paid new 3€ tax already?do you have to pay when receiving items to your local post/customs, or does aliexpress automatically add new fee?
>>109228596the latter
>>109228596there are very few places where you can self declare customs as a private person. most places require you to be some company or have a licence. either aliexpress pays it via IOSS or you pay via the postal service who will rape you with their BS fees
it's really sad to see. got the exact same thing in a local shop for 3€ the other day.but half year ago I got it on Ali for 1$.
>>109226640>>109226677Just use Taobao and pay that 3€ only once for whole parcel.
>>109229526looks atrocious
anyone ever buy some good BONE conducting headphones?
>>109230126That’s not the point, people should be able to buy
>>109227034>>109227063She looks pretty cute, especially her outfit and a big step above <$5 figures that are way lower in quality. I'll shortlist her and thanks again for the pics. Any other uohs you have?
I bought C210 tips.I don't have a C210 iron.There was a decent coin deal.
>>109230518I tried the shokz openrun pro 2 at work. theyre pricey but worth it if you need them. They use a combo of speakers + conduction so if youre listening loud the person next to you will definitely hear it.
>>109227503>Eastern EuropeIsn't pussy like $50 there?
>>109226287Only if he's retarded or has some very specific hobbies and knows what he wants.Ali is great at b8ing you with $0.99, but now tariffs and collection of state sales tax fucks that a lot.>>109227034>absolutely shit lighting and a phone that can't handle low light conditionsPotterySnark aside, that fig looks great!! Anyone could nitpick over small painting errors, but even this looks fantastic.Is this Gawr Gura? Sorry, not up to date on my weeb stuff. Link to the listing pls?

Are there any good chink USB DACs that are cheap? I don't need audiophile snake oil stuff, just something that sounds the same as my onboard audio without the electrical noise from my GPU.
>>109225591I'm posting from a x99 right now.

My new hot air rework station arrived from AE. It's fucking great. Heats up quick and it's not too loud. Big thanks to anon who recommended it few threads ago. It took about 2 weeks to arrive. Came with 7 nozzles of various angles and openings.I received a soldering iron last week and now I have the hot air too. I'm still waiting for an iron holder and a tip cleaner.I'm basically trying to AI-proof myself a little. If I lose a job, at least I can fix some iphones/ipads/ps5s and make enough to pay for mortgage and food. Being a soft engineer in 2026 fucking sucks.
>>109231082not worth the effort and also
>>109224623Did the EU tax the general title too?
looks like ali is desparate for eu customers, now if only they would let me redeem the $50 bomb
so how do we get around this load of bullshit?they got us paying VAT and now this. the funny thing is, that even in this example, where it's 2 similar items, you still get charged the shitty fee twice. and good luck finding shit like this locally. along with a shitload of other stuff I need.all the normies buying useless shit from temu and shein ruined it - as usual - for the rest of us
>>109234718they'll figure something out.or someone will make some middleman service.I'd rather pay the chineese more than the made up cucktax.
Will life-like Chinese sex dolls turn people into necrophiliacs?
>>109235480No but it will make you polymer-sexual>>109231068Yeah it’s supposed to be Gura but that specific costume seems to be fan made. The listing I bought is gone but you can reverse search the pic for an active one>>109230776I have Kinako too. Be warned that this is one of the earlier bootlegs of this figure and the quality of them has been getting worse, they also made a smaller version that’s even uglier. Always check recent review pics
>>109235736Damn phone
AE is always amazing for the weird stuff that filters its way to the front page. Like this really ugly and primitive doll of Michael Jackson that a bigger black woman from North Carolina appears to really enjoy.https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812297682403.htmlBTW, how does the "Free Gift" popups on the main page actually work? Is the item just absolute garbage or is there always some kind of markup when you add it to your cart to make it not worth it?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006640374300.htmli rove china
i do not get taobao - sure it should be a solution to the 3 euro problem but it is not in english and looks like a trap for me to try to use it - what if they take my money and never deliver and tell me that they are china only? most people cannot even find my country on the map, but because we are part of the eu we are still fucked in the ass.
>>109225209>- The finish on the case is a metal-look coating on plastic, and has worn down to what I can best describe as a natural nylon color at the fillets.Real casios are like this too
>>109235736>>109235810She looks great and on par with officials. A shame that it's probably impossible to buy her with this level of quality now. An alternate face version also apparently exists.>Always check recent review picsYeah, I do this in general and never buy from zero review or photo sellers.
>>109238028mine came with both facesalso that one doesn't look bad
Are the 361 Degrees running shoes legit? They are like $30.
Why does aliexpress sign me out every week. It's fucking annoying.
>>109238413I sign in with google everywhere. They never forget cause they don't want to miss a byte of data.
>>109236662lmaoFuck dakimakuras. I'm cuddling with DF-5-chan tonight.>>109238028>photo sellersWhat's that?FWIW I just look at Specifications because the photos of the actual listing are going to be shooped.
>>109238558speaking of pillows, these things might blow up in the near future. Already got mine
>>109231893i went that route, it does not end well.. good for side gigs tho. I also have that hot air station, for many years now, it is great
>>109239168wow aliexpress has everything

>>109242042why do europoors enjoy getting raped so much
>>109242408We don't, but it's not like you had any control over your politicians either when this cunt decided to fuck over the entire chip market.
>>109242202yeah with care you could use a flathead for that, but that care.
>>109242202some stores incorrectly call it french recess or cross slot, but there does not seem to be a real common name for this cross+pin type.
>>109242202upon further research it seems to be proprietary apple bullshit that's mostly known as "iphone standoff"
>>109225209>>109225030This brand is probably the best. I've seen countless reviews, especially the Casio AE1200 replicas, and this one came out on top.I've just ordered picrel, my first chink watch since I'm able to make decisions. It was $6 after coupons. I'll use it to "mod" my real ae1200 which I'll get today. Also ordered from Temu.Will report wheter I got chinked.
>>109242811now that watchfags are here, i need something to keep 4 different timezones checked, any recomendations? well 3 would be enough, i can check the local hour anywhereit can be a desk watch
>>109242668nice set.
Again, I won't get the penalty kick credit. What if I find some kid outside and be like, "psst hey kid, d'ya like games?"
>>109245385game is stupidly hard. i was able to fluke the 30th ball in a few days ago though and now i've banked 130 balls for the 12th
>>109245418Smart. I wasn't certain if they carry over, but I didn't think of doing that much to begin with. The last 5 goals are pure luck. The prior round is about 1 in 10-20 goals per ball for me.
whats the new Mixza? what brand are you guys now using for SD cards?
Any durable (digital) watch recs?

A massive dam broke in Guangxi, China because of that Made in China qualityhttps://www.youtube.com/live/LzFR2qWR5sk?si=_dNu21L0LArrj4ki&t=2373Why is this shithole such a mouthpiece for china? Half the province is fucked now
Of course the retads would rather post propaganda than actually help people
>>109249011>China is finishedI'm tired of these clickbaiters. No, a bunch of incompetent chink scammers are done. Xi's empire won't collapse faster the more you repeat the same phrases over and over, that's not how it works.
I bought the Qshave years ago since it was recommended. I hear there are better safety razors you can get for a little bit more. Anyone have recommendations or links?
>>109249465Winston and Laowhy aren't grifters though, at least watch the the sequence before judging
>>109249682Thumbnails and titles are the make-or-break of YouTube, and if I see some faggot is doing blatant clickbait I don't care what he has to say, the contents of the video being the opposite of what the cover says makes it even worse.And I know Laowhy, he's a rice burner that started off by sucking up to China and glorifying everything Chinese, only to do a 180 on it all and do anti-Chinese clickbait to stay afloat. Not that I have anything against anti-Chinese commentary, but this sort of flip-flopping is the exact definition of a grifter. Like NFKRZ making a career out of talking about his country, and once that was no longer profitable he turned to shitting on his country. Two faced, spineless worms without any true beliefs or principles, all of them.
>>109249712So ignoring glaring problems will just make it go away? That's not how it works either. Good for you though.Winston and Matt self-censored because they actually lived there becasue they don't have freedom of speech. Then it got increasingly worse, even though they tried their best to make things work with the authorities but then they decided to move and now they can say what they want. It's not flip-flopping. It's not a conspiracy or grift to point that the 3 gorges dam could collapse in the future, it could very will do that It's not a grift to point out the unprecedented extreme weather china experiences every year now, the floods, the tornadoes where they shouldn't be, which will lead to economic collapse later. Over 70% of all chinese cities are in extreme weather territories https://x.com/Globupdate/status/2074450361625006529https://x.com/paul_sanyo/status/2075232062508875912https://x.com/Reuters/status/2074416882447462752/video/1
>>109248505if you're buying buds from an established chinese brand i reckon you've got a baseline level of quality that is very acceptablemy lenovo XT53's were $3 and they have everything other than noise cancellation
>>109249853i got some chink brands like qcy or mpow and they all have at least some form of latency, that somehow gets worse depending on what you do (ie there's a noticeable but "usable" latency watching movies, but games have like a full second latency)
>>109225591why not colorful instead?
>>109227034>>109227063why are her thighs so fat?
>>109227034how much did this cost? are bootleg figures good? see plenty of them on ali and taobao
>>109250006the last QCY i bought was t13 (or something) back in 2020 and had bt 5.1 but no low latency mode. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010759680003.htmlthis one looks to be their new base model and has an app, ai noise reduction on the mics, EQ presets and a low latency mode. really good deal if the sound is decent because it's like 7 dollars cheaper than when i bought my t13 and even lower if you play the coupon and cashback game
>>109225591yes i bought a soyo b450m d4 pro during last 11/11. tried to put sodimm ram with adapters in it but couldn't get it to boot at all even though i looked thru chinese internet to see people getting ti to work. took my brother's ram and gave him the sodimms on his msi board - they worked perfectly there. think i was able to get it down to $35.
Only tangentially related but do any anons have recommendations for esims and/or vpns to use while in china for 1-2 weeks
>>109242846Yeah the Casio Royale has you covered. Can track exactly 4 timezones, you can even have those four scrolling every couple of seconds. It's a Casio but it's made in China, so it counts towards this generalIncidentally, my Temu order arrived yesterday with this beauty along some straps and some other shit. I may post a review later
>>109250467Package in question
>>109244696eh, on one hand it has many exotic security bits like that iphone thing, triangles, 5-point stars, inverted cross etc; on the other hand there's a lot of dupes for the more common types and I'm not sure if it's due to legit redundancy concerns or just to pad out the box.steel quality looks decent but I have not used it much yet."145 in 1 screwdriver set" sold under multiple brands, mine is a local store rebrand.

Uhhhhh anons the new /spg/ thread made by the flamewar anon went bye bye :(
>>109250121>>109255133it depends on how autistic you are about figs. for me i want accuracy, neat paint lines, texture and overall quality and a lot fo fakes can't deliver what i want. some people who buy bootlegs are ok with some mistakes here and there and don't think too hard about themi really don't like polished shiny plastic which bootlegs seem to default on while matte paint finishes makes clothing seem like clothing. that sort of thing.

>>109239131I hate that I can't get dakimakuras (or anything r-18 related) in europe anymore because of france being absolutely retarded and threatening chinese shops, and I don't even live in France. I managed to get a couple before they entirely disappeared from search results, but the ones left in my basket are "does not ship" status.Any workarounds for this bullshit? I even did the face scan thinking it was the adult filter that was fucking me over, but nope they still refuse to show up.

How's the Chuwi Minibook X?
fucking Chang I saw you bump the price of that item in my cart, it was literally $20 cheaper BEFORE the sale you ain't slick
>>109224623If I return $200 item on Aliexbased on free returns, will I get full refund in EU or they will deduct some of the customs and leave me alone with getting that back from local tax office?
>>109259121>I can't get dakimakurasI noticed too and I'm not from the EU, the west is cucked in general. Your best bet is buy elsewhere sadly. They'll cost more but can still be bought from eBay (for me at least).
So will there be any workaround for the tax over every single item and is it worth trying to wait it out or is it truly over?
>>109265381It seems that the total tax is calculated at check out now.It's not so obvious but some items do get combined. I managed to combine art supplies, but esp boards from different sellers didn't combine.
>>109265790I saw that they changed it to show only at checkout now. But it's still too much for the things I'm trying to buy. I'm wondering if something will ever change in a few months or so, or if we just need to accept to get scammed even over the cheapest items

>>109259121Not European, but years back when Orange man decided to throw a tantrum, I went and panic bought some cheap TPE dolls because I believed it'd be the last chance of getting something that exotic. While the tarriff stuff didn't pan out as I thought, it still looks like I was right to make these impulse buys. The listings I used aren't just 404, they don't even appear on my order history.
>>109268377>panic bought a chinkdollAnon what the fuck even is that?Those hands... do you pose it? fuck it? what the fuck am I looking at?holy shit...
>>109268377Anon, I too am interested in what you do with this doll.
got some new batteries and a charger for the camcorder i snagged from the thrift store. theyre significantly lighter and smaller, but i have no clue what their capacity is like yet. the old battery is at least 25 years old and is still able to charge, but i dont know what its discharge history is like so i figured id grab a few more to keep in the bag. the old and new ones are all NiMH and im not at all familiar with this chemistry. the only bad thing about the new charger is that it doesnt have the barrel jack the old one does, which lets me power the camera off-battery. the new charger is sonically welded shut, too, which is really fucking annoying because ive had to repair several other battery chargers before and they simply unscrewed.
>>109270250>>109270468>panic bought a chinkdollIt was a wild purchase I admit. I make no excuses and have few regrets.The hands are due to a body suit I have it wearing to protect the material from dust and dirt. I'll have to get some gloves if I keep taking pictures since it makes the hands look bad and it's hard to hide those.I do general doll things with it: styling hair, buying and trying out clothes, posing, light photography, etc. The size gives it more presence compared to some normal dolls I have and it's soft to the touch. I'm inclined to randomly pat its head and its big enough to hug. It's nice to indulge in the fantasy of having my own anime girl around, even with how janky it is in places. It has a full skeleton so it can but set upright, though I have to lean it against a wall. Its range of motion is good so it can make a lot of poses easily. The biggest issue is ironically part of the reason I bought it: the head is made of PVC and is a different color than the rest of the body, so it looks really bad if I don't go out of my way to mask it in photos. In addition, the head's mount is tilted in a way so that I can't get it to look up. I have to arch the back and pull the neck up far to get it to look straight because of this. The head is disproportionately large, but that works with the cartoon aesthetic.I don't use it for sex, so I don't have any details there. It has the parts for it but I'm not interested in that, I just wanted the cute derpy looking doll and the price, though high, was still lower than serious BJDs and it was life size to boot.I've had it for about a year now and I've been satisfied with it. A giant anime figure I can pose fit in with my tastes. It's still decoration at the end of the day, but the interactivity appeals to me more.
What fucking bullshit, I had ONE issue with a package in years.Not even an abuse or anything, I sent the item back, Ali accepted the return and refund, still got hit with a ban. Between that and the EU taxes, I think I'm totally done with the chink shit. It was a good run.
>>109271049if there's a mismatch you might as well replace hands and head with better ones, they might be easier to find than a full doll
my order (which is only electronic components that are actually taxed at 0%) is €30 and im supposed to pay €40 in taxes?is there a eu solution to the bullshit tax yet?oder items for >€150?wait until they sorted this shit out?
>>109271067What was the issue
>>109271049Bro actually bought the "100cm flat"
>>109271640Replacement screen for a game console that got damaged in shipping, nothing special. I sent them pictures and they accepted the return for a refund, and then this showed up.
uh-ohmy $3 CHINKSHIT watch is apparently fraudulent... what am i gonna do...
>>109227503>>109228289i have 1mil gems and it's impossible to redeem (saar please) any of them, i managed to snatch a $1 coupon once or twice but anything else never works and i tried everything.
>>109272022I feel stabbed, I would have never expected that from SYNOKE
>>109272022Go for SKMEI
Dick Ripper has arrived. I'm not ready to try it yet
>>109272502What
How many soccer balls do you guys have?How many points are you able to exchange?I've only got 500. I guess I was shadowbanned?And I can only redeem the $5 once.This even was a dud for me. Especially compared to the last 2 or 3 years.
>>109272520see >>94282539 and >>94298841
First post-July 1st package arrived, this time from GTbuy. Wouldn't recommend it tho, they are very slow to process inbound packages, and non-discounted shipping rates are much worse compared to Superbuy. Anyway:-3D printed Mini ITX test bench-VESA mount, pliers- and tweezers holder for IKEA SKÅDIS-Blue Archive plushies -Bag and some cloths as package filler for upcoming holiday
>>109250467Casiofag here. Here's a picture of the totally original watch. Fitted a green resin strap.Love it. Will sell it though, in order to get another colorway.Got yet another Casio on the way. A W800H this time.Bought an orange strap as well, identical to picrel.Very satisfied.>>109271067Lol wut. Yeah, like that other guy said, go Skmei. Coincidentally, I bought the Skmei version if picrel, the one with a metal band. Was like 6$ and ia on the way now. >>109272162I'd have gotten the F91W, it's cheap as it is. Probably yours was about three fiddy, so good riddance to you nonetheless
>>109272553i can't believe we were joking about this and someone actually bought it
am i a retard, or did chang design this h4 led bulb so that its impossible to have the 'cup' under the front led oriented straight up/downnormal bulb for reference
>>109273624I'm charging it rn, will write a review later lest it actually destroys me dick and I die
>>109273096Of SKÅDIS parts, items on top are bit meh. For tweezers it works, but that another holder is too flimsy to hold any crimp tools or such. However bottom parts from another seller are excellent, even filament color seems to match shade of IKEA's paint.
i love sportball
>>109273989what's the autojacker-offar de'jure?recently single, feel like I'm going to be that way for a while.
well, rip my points
>>109257612you SEE?!?!?Everything I do is the opposite of correct.
>>109274747>>109274462i asked AI to help me bet on number of goals only and i got enough for a coupon yesterdayhope this soccer thing goes away for my stableboxes next event. i can't kick for shit and i don't like betting
>>109273781i was planning on doing pegboard for my small handtools but instead realized id save a lot more space by hanging them under a shelf, so i bought some 1/4" mild steel and printed up some brackets for them to hang under a shelf above my bench. i also bought some tiny magnets for anything i cant loop over it, and it works great. printing something equivalent for a skadis would have taken so much time and filament. right now im just keeping my crimps in a drawer, but im planning on making brackets for the skadis for the 1/4" steel rod so i can make them as long as i want and hang heavier/bulkier things.
>>109272502OK, tried the DR-9000, specifically the Einseo MightyCost me $43, official site says MSRP should be $78. Only used one $4 couponaliexpress.com/item/1005012446059861.htmlIt's big, 28 cms tall or 11 inches. Luckily it was the right size to still fit in the crotch pocket of the plush doll I bought before >>109239131This thing has 2 functions: vibrate and rotate. first is self explanatory. Rotate spins the actual onahole part inside, but it also moves it up and down. The opening hole for the device is like a soft donut and with the spin function creates some suction, but it's a little narrow and it came off each time I pulled out so I kept using it without it.You can totally use it just with the included buttons but since they were covered by the doll I installed their chinky app which gives you finer control and some meme functions like matching movements to video which I haven't tried.Charges via USB-C. Also came with a "hands free" mount which I haven't tried yet. Definitely needs lubeFinally, it took me a while to get there but when I did I could only think of pic related. Very much worth it
Any suggested M2 SSD brands or am I going to lose data and burn the house down?
>>109277577absolutely don't cheap out on storage. its like one of the most important part of a pc
>>109277577Adata is a real global brand. Netac and Fanxiang are real brands. Kingspec kinda sorta is if you're going cheap. Plus there's some hollowed out legacy brands like Lexar.SSDs are a commodity good now, almost nobody actually makes their own to any real extent, they are assembled to desired price/spec point out of industry-standard components. A lot of chink IG5236 drives report fake temperature, which isn't great. It also goes without saying that now's a bad time to shop for drives, so if you can delay it (for up to a couple years) it's probably better to do so.The questions to answer are: what controller does it have (if it's DRAM-less you don't really want that it as a system drive)is there onboard DRAM and how much, usually it's 1GB DRAM per 1TB space on upper end driveswhat nand chip type it uses (more levels per cell is cheaper and worse, triple-level cell is common for high end drives and is better than qlc, you won't find slc/mlc in modern drives anymore)actual nand chip make&model, if you want to dig into their specs for actual endurance ratings and suchI have a couple Fanxiang S770 bought back when SSDs were cheap and chink NAND memory just started appearing and was unproven, one is a 2TB with YMTC (Chinese) NAND, another is a 4TB with Micron chips, both see a fair amount of use for a consumer-grade device. Obviously you're taking fate into your own hands with Chinese drives because they may have worse QC than proper brands, but then again Samsungs top end pro SSDs killed themselves in droves due to buggy firmware couple years ago. Make backups and don't use supercheap trashy drives for important tasks.
>>109093828been a few weeks since i got this now and i'm very happy with it, everything works and feels great and it did right away, you can use the gamesir app but it works without it too. Only downside is that its supposed to have charge passthrough but it doesn't really charge my phone at all when using it, anyway definitively worth it for 18 money
>>109276920Wow, 11 inches and it still could fit in the crotch pocket, the plush doll herself must be really big. How hard is it to clean? Can you remove the default ona and put a different one in it? Are you the same anon as >>94282539?>>109268377>>109271049lol, made me double check if I was in /dol/ or not.
Just bought these, really pleased with them, they're quick and quiet. So pleased I bought a second set that I'll use for lighter work, this pair is for abusing and cutting things it wasn't built to cut.I was going to get a name brand, but the one for my battery system was 80 quid alone.
>>109277577depends on your data. if you want to keep it buy namebrand and if you don't go ahead and buy FKENWER or VEEFGMD drivesi went with netacs and kingstons. not top tier but still decent and cheap
been using my weishi again, it's quite nice, pretty aggressive thoughcolorlamb is also nice, but the head is a lil big getting under the noseand the $5 gillette for chinese market (not shown the futur clone, which is shti)
>>109278794>Are you the same anon as >>94282539?nope, this is my first e-fapper>How hard is it to clean?you twist it open, remove the inner ona part and rinse it. The part is see through and isn't deep like other onas so I feel it's actually easier to clean>Can you remove the default ona and put a different one in it?I guess technically but it would need to be made by the same company since it's like an ona encased in a plastic part with some contacts to connect to the motorized part
>>109276920>I installed their chinky app
Any experiences with label makers? I just need to label my drawers and shit so my workshop is more organized, but I heard label makers / printers are all shit and they try to trap you in proprietary refill rolls or whatever. Anything good and cheap?
>>109280467Also here's a grrriper style push block clone from ali for 35$. It feels solid and well made, but I haven't tested it with my table saw yet.
>>109227020Why not buy u green?
the seller is charging an extra $100 for the 16gb ram version of the phone compared to the 12gb one, I hate this shit
>>109280830sell his mother
>>109280467I use dymo and get fake cartridges from aliexpress
aliexpress should build more warehouses in europe and ship everything locally to avoid the 3 euro tax per item
>>109281272tax's correct application would be sufficient atm (3€ per item category)
>>109281272that is the plan>>109281405it really looks like the changs in charge of the shops are not tagging them correctly. but i may be wrong
>>109281272the law was known for some time, if they haven't done this i would assume it's simply not profitable enough
Why does ali insist on selling this cucumber washing device to me? I don't even eat that many cucumbers and just washing them regularly on the sink like any other vegetable is no effort at all.
>>109282419Just imagining the thoughts of the "inventor" is funny. Chang is by the sink one day washing his cucumbers and thinks of all the people washing them and how hard that is, he will help the world by inventing the cucumber washing machine, and he not only does it, he manage to get investors to invest in his brilliant idea.
my balls are with INGRAND
>>109279765I see. Hopefully the ona is durable and doesn't start to break down after a few uses. How loud is, for both vibrate and spin?
>buy APC ups>made in China>constant buzzing even when offlineHoly fucking chink how am I supposed to tolerate this -60dB noise next to me>probably can't RMA because that's normalFFFFFUUUUUCCCKKKKK
>>109282649add extra fans and make them slower, this guy does it for solar panels, https://youtu.be/ubPuDyRaFb0
>>109282743solar systems*
>>109282611pretty loud actually, like a beard trimmer. But when I put it inside the doll it dampened most of the noise
AIEEEEEEEEE MY BALLS
Fucking britbongs. Worthless.
>>109282743Its not the fan, its the transformer/inverter/ whatever, the fan its on only when online (battery power). Its clearly an electrical noise, not coilwhine, but a buzzing, a hum.
>>109281272that's just amazon, if ali is going to copy amazon, why not also copy the same return policy because you already have a warehouse full of workers that already manage shipping / sorting, just resell return palettes, or offer "warehouse deals" AKA reselling returned/opened items.The problem is that on amazon people return shit as unopened and swap the contents with something broken, then the seller gets the blame when in reality it's wagies fault (I guess not it's going to be AI's job) for not carefully checking if the returned item is opened or not. Then scummy sellers who are guilty for sending broken shit remove 1 star reviews by blaming amazon's fulfillment system.And it would also be trivial to get people to work as delivery drivers if there are enough warehouses to ship directly from the warehouse to the doorstep (since the last mile delivery is very expensive, assuming that alibaba doesn't already own the chinese last mile delivery companies and to get good rates).But all of this money is going to be spent... just to get banned by EU policy because the EU hates the fact china NEVER buys anything from the EU. Also the google AI told me that amazon's shipping business is running on a loss and that all their profits are from AWS.
>estimated duties are almost the same price as the items i want to buyits so fucking over, might as well use amazon now
>they said it gonna be 3€ per item type>its actually 3.75€I HATE EU JEWS SO FUCKING MUCHi thing that Chang is also getting a mental breakdown from this, id imagine they lost 90% of customers from EU, that is literally millions of € lost
>>109255660We peaked already it's all downhill from here.I doubt we'll hit the highs that the fashionreps crowd did with the spacesuit jackets and monkey mibd communication hats
>>109284711that's tax on tax, citizen
>>109254034define "entry level", p2 seems to have been pretty good as the electronics youtubers swear by it but i wouldn't know, i got a flir tau2 from a legendary roll on the scrap heap lol
>>109266215nice, I like Holo too.
>>109281272they have warehouses in Australia that do this I think
>>109282419You know why anon come on
>Wake up early to get the last energy for a $5 coupon and use the extra duty offset coupon>They've removed the $5 option>Figure I'll just redeem 3+1+1 instead>Can only redeem 1 coupon each>Add some cheap items>Go to checkout>Hit with a €4.22 duty charge per item>Check out the "duty offset" coupon>You're forced to into a limited selection>Duty offset coupon can't even be used for the dutiesHoly fuck what a shitshow
>>109284711anon that's why they did it, you think they care about what random people spend their money on? They just wanted chang to lose money
