>>109414553Is there a good 3.5mm male-to-male cable for headphones?I got a Vention cable a few years ago but it's more like 3.4mm. It's annoying how it slips out of the socket. I don't need fancy audiophile gear. Just something that isn't trash.

>>109414553>/csg/ - Chinese Stuff Generalbaseddeath to chudsI haven't bought anything in 2 months due to the new EU tariffs. Went on a Aliexpress spree for a few weeks leading up to them though, ordering about a 100 different small items, so i'm covered for a while. How did this turn out so far btw, are fellow EUfags actually seeing this 3 Eur charge per item category, or do some slip under the radar?
>>109420555On the cusp of the levy all my items got through without charge, now the €3 levy is charged at source.
>>109418864Aliexpress is so funny, why would they make us wait for an online sale?

>>109424697Gem inflation with the World Tour ruined it since it exponentially increased the number of people who could redeem anything at allEveryone who was even semi-serious about gems should be sitting on 1M+ at this point due to multiple rounds of the World Tour
>>109425499I have never been able to redeem any of the 1.2M I got from two rounds. It was all ones I got from regular games on top of it. I'm pretty sure even the pinball thing is banned from earning any real money.

I'm thinking of buying the Ayn Thor, should I wait for 11.11? Or are memory prices gonna be extra fucked if i wait?

>>109427532Are you sure? the prices of handheld devices have just gone up and up since ram and ssd prices are dogshit. The best price i can get for Thor now is $400 with 12gb of ram and 256gb storage. Will it go below that price for the same specs during mega brand sale?
Okay, I got itThey've partially "solved" the issue of commercial categories, so if you buy three nearly identical products (like three cotton T-shirts), you'll only be charged €3.22 once, as per the European directive. BUT if you add a polyester T-shirt, it will be shown in a different category (it isn't) and will add an additional €3.22 tax. Bonus: We now have "Estimated import charges" and "AliExpress duty reduction" at checkout, which calculate the above. Thanks, Mr. Xi

>>109426722High pressure sales tactic. Another facet of adversarial pricing algorithm.Discounts vanish around noon local time for me on the same day I cart an item. I had a cart that was $17. By the afternoon it's $25. I can't abide by this nonsense anymore. I won't be buying and hobbying. I'll come back if it ever gets better.They overplayed their hand by making it too obvious how arbitrary prices are.

>>109431551Check the store's age. If it's too good to be true, and the store is 2 months old, then prepare to be scammed.
>>109431571It does seem too good to be true but it is half a year old with decent reviews ...

>>109432446Smells like a >>109431589
>>109431518>>109432350Maybe consider a wireless charging dock (if your phone supports it), or one of those USB cables with the magnetic adapter that goes in the phone's port?
>>109420793Do we have a way to cope with/circumvent this yet? My €10 order turned into a €27 order at checkout. I wouldn't mind paying €3 per broad category of items, but per item is ridiculous.
>>109432350can't you just use your ph- oh, no. not like that. staaaaahp
>>109432350Unironically this might be a use case for a fitness tracker or smartwatch to act as your alarm since it can vibrate according to your alarms. Keep the phone as the alarm sound a little further away and let the fitness tracker wake you up.
>>109428447It's the same sale, just a different naming
>>109432350>I use my phone as my alarm so need to keep the cable next to my bedFor me that's exactly the reason why I don't keep it on my nightstand. If it's there I might turn the alarm off and go back to sleep, so the phone goes on the desk so I have to get out of bed to stop the alarm.
>>109432350just don't keep it plugged overnight? It's what i do, i just keep it charged before going to sleep and then charge it again when i wake up and get ready to go out (to make sure it's at 100% when i actually get out)though i don't get night terrors and idk sounds like something you should get checked out, mostly cause iirc those are one of the first symptoms of alzheimer and general dementia
>>109432350Just put it out of reach so you have to actually get out of bed to turn it offI had the problem of turning it off then going back to bed

how come prices of chinese stuff are basically similar to that of shit they sell at local stores? what happened to aliexpress? :'(
>>109443405Tariffs. They realized there was no point to providing Americans with value since they're all ungrateful subhumans.
>>109443455I'm not american or european. no tariffs for me. shit is still as much if not more expensive than local chinese importers. it used to be on par or cheaper.

>>109417551Thank you for the reply, bought them.
>>109428371Where do you see the commercial categories and which one products belong to? This isn't working for me For example I'm trying to buy some socks and it still adds the tax for each singular product
This stopped being fun with EVERY item adding +3€.Congrats, fun officially killed.
>>109446558No matter what you do it will never noticeably offset shit.
Chang sent me the wrong thing man now I need to wait for two weeks fuck you chang
>>109447227It's even worse, they include VAT, so it's more like 3.6€ per item, at top of it, ali stopped restocking credits, so you can't get free shit anymore. Gott strafe EUSSR.

>>109428371>>109447170I got this to show up with two similar enough summer hats, but it's a total of 4 items in my cart (and removing one gets the tax down to 10€) so what the hell are they trying to do here anyway? Chang is trying to scam me!
>>109449288are they all choice ( = same international shipping) items?thing is you'll get charged at least once
>>109449444I guess they weren't all choice yeah, I replaced one with a baseball cap that albeit very different somehow also counted for that "reduction".Still, I can't seem to find anywhere the category that items belong to, so that we could check for this more quicklyCan we even see it somewhere or is it internal only?

Watch anons,which (cheap) brands do you recommend? I have one from skmei, and saw some from poedagar, but didn't find any other cheap brands.
the point of tariffs and the 3 euro per item tax isnt to stifle china's economy, it's to stop you from buying slop garbage you dont need that fills up the landfill. and dont buy the same garbage knick knack shit from locals either, you dumb fuck.

>>109417793just get a blue yeti?? its one of the most used mics for a reason
Managed to claim the lowest tier of the green shopping credit, so it's still possible to redeem them. However 89 cents doesn't even offset the tariff costs, so I need to redeem some more, before it's even worth buying anything with it...
>>109452122I was going to buy camera lens filters and some bedroom sexy outfitsthey all cost significantly more now it just doesn't seem fair.
>>109453141I haven't seen a green credit since around May. The page times out for a few minutes at the daily reset. I wonder if people are sniping with colocated accounts near the aliexpress servers. Like high frequency traders. Seems like something crazy enough that people would do.
>>109453141Shopping credit has a 7 day validity period and then it expires so you better use it before then even if you don't get enough to cover the tariff
>>109429633how is this supposed to fit in any case
>>109450038>HS>NC>TARICthat's european stuff, plus your country's (e.g. our is based on the main material, function and intended use) and china's. guess it's a mess
>>109453817Yeah, i'm just looking at picking 3 items at the Bundle deals right now, since it seems like there is no tarrifs this way. I'll try to see if I can redeem some more credits in the upcoming 6 days before making the purchase though.
>>109447227and now you'll buy locally instead right?? You won't just stop buying chink shit and save your money until you can buy chinkshit directly from chang again, right??????
>>109454001>how is this supposed to fit in any caseYou plug a low-profile card into it.And their combined height is that of a full-height card.So just use any case with regular full-height slots.
>>109453141Shopping credits does not cover import fees/tariffs last I tried (during the end of the Football World Cup) so you're still going to have to foot the €3 fee per item category regardless.It's fucking retarded.

How do you guys find reliable sellers?I want to dabble in Chinese incense but I'd like to buy from an actually reputable mid-end seller rather than some shady gibberish shop selling me god knows what
Heh, there's a sudoku game now.I guess because that's what you'll want to commit after trying to redeem any of the points.
>>109464149I mean i guess shaving stuff. Euro brands for soaps/aftershaves. Maggards, Razor Emporium, The Razor Company.But chink shit has some great replicas of name brand razor companies. For blades go with Flydear and Sunekos double edge razor blades which i consider to be top tier fantastic for not just chink market but stands on its own compared to Gillette and Personna. For safety razors Balli is pretty good and gets rebranded on amazon alot. Cheap but zamak razors last 10 years before rotting so good prices for 10$. Yaqi is gold standard for stainless steel copies but generally they function slightly differently than the copy so if you like aggressive razors its pretty good. Dscosmetic is lower on the quality scale but good enough to stand on its own in the market. OUMO makes great synthetic shaving brushes but i am not a fan of anything synthetic at all.
>>109465240You aren't dealing with manufacturers, all of these companies are middle men warehouses. You find the product you want, you find the middle man selling it for the cheapest. It's not hard.
>>109465240Alibaba. It ain't that great either. You need to physically be there or they will try to scam you out of something.

>>109431589Is intentionally buying scam products a good idea?I remember ages ago a friend bought a ton of "Lithium Iron" batteries on eBay, requested refunds that they were all "Lithium Ion (LiPo) and not Lithium Iron (LFP)" along with graphs and whanot backing the case, and just got to keep hundreds of dollars of perfectly functional free batteries.

>>109467351$100 or less, if I like it I want to be able to buy a few sets and not worry about finding replacements for the next 10+ years.
>>109467389oh shit, i thought you were just looking for a cheapy $15ish thing that just works from china. at a hundred you should be looking at something local. 2 year warranty on everything and can stack with stuff like commbank yello or shopback or whatever
>>109467389Gib address so i can donate a pallet of ramen of your local choice to you.
>>109466757>I'm also looking for a good knife.Check SRM, Sanrenmu, Land, and Ruike
>>109467550I fucking love my $14 Land 913
Is this the Chink Shit General? Haven't been in some time..Anyways >>>/ck/22138635
>>109470895>https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007749012407.htmllooks like it wouldn't keep cups stable, but maybe it's some traditional thing
>>109470895We decided to change this general's name to Chinese Stuff General -- times are changing.
>>109467550Is there any automatic knives that are sold on Ali?
>>109471240Are there**
>>109414553tracking shows delivered but i did not got the camera flash (60$), ali is fucking retarded they kept telling me "but the tracking shows delivered", i keep repeating to them-but delivered to who?? and they kept closing the dispute over and over, i kept opening it via their AI chatbot and they kept closing the dispute every time, after a month of ali ilegally telling me that i have to look for it myself in my whole country delivery chain (i did not even knew which local last mile delivery company is delivering it).. i warned them about chargeback, they again said you have to look for the package in delivery chain yourself (bullshit-they as sender must do it, i dont know shit).. i did chargeback... chargeback asked them the same shit i did (is the chink fucking retarded??)... took another one month to get the money back, why is ali so retarded, they could ask the delivery company themselves, they rather lose money
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005011756167056.htmldo spot welders like this work okay or are they basically trash? if it "depends on what you're using it for" then in what usage does it work okay and what is it trash for
The simple rule I use: only buy from Chinese brands that are well known in China but not abroad
>>109471119>keep cups stablewymyou place a cup on it, it stays there just like any other wooden tray
>>109471277>delivered to whoIf you click on the tracking data you can see the item going to the sorting office, going to customs, leaving the country, entering your country, customs again, another sorting office, being handed to the people who are going to delivery to you, then delivery to you.You have the tracking number,you know whoch company was supposed to handling the last mile,you can google their tracking page to see if they took a picture after dumping the item somewhere around your property.Do you have any security camera footage?That would be good evidence.
>>109466599Pretty much the whole western world is going totalitarian, doesn't matter if your cunt has a left or right wing goverment. And it seems it's speeding up so it feels like these are the last few years of the free internet so basically now is the last chance to get your own home network and fill it with all the stuff you want for the rest of your life.
>>109471296These things are usually trash. They rarely ever output the right voltage and are prone to breaking / battery failure after a few uses. Shell out for an actual spot welder.
>>109471296i would be more trustful of the chonky controllers that get attached to the car batteries to spot weld
>>109471296I've been thinking about getting into spot welding over the last few years too, but never pulled the trigger on it. From what I can tell, these battery powered ones are to make small, relatively low current battery packs. For real powertools, you're going to want a legit spot welder for thicker and high quality nickel strips.I was going see if I could exchange enough diamonds. Until diamond inflation made them irredeemable. Another hobby off the list.
>>109471240Automatic knives sucks
>>109472461>>109472485>>109472499I see, good thing I asked here first so thanks, I almost pulled the trigger on one.
>>109427718hello mr du bois
>>109456600no... ill never ever buy locally.
Chinese bike parts are goated. Picked up a carbon seatpost, carbon handlebars, a bunch of touring bags, some coloured greebly bolts, cork bar tape and some lights, came to like 30% of the price that schlomo rips you for over here and the quality is nice. Thank you Zhang.
>>109466757>guys I wanna be prepared in case the shit hits the fan and I need to rely on tools to save my life>but I don't wanna spend TOOOOO much moneyfaggot retard jew tryna be a faggot retard larper
>>109472916Links and mind elaborating on the parts you swapped? Haven't rode a bike since I was a kid and recently got an ebike. Been really enjoying it so far though maybe there's things I can change to improve the experience.
>>109414553Where is chink shit general?
>>109473376This is it
I need some headphones. Mostly going to use them when going out. I have problems with sensory overload when I'm around groups of people. Need something durable. Preferably wired.
based.
>>109472684I've never had one.
>>109474176The TRN Conch is very good, I use it on the computer, but since it's modular you can swap the end for usb-c.
>>109474176not wired but I just bought the baseus ep10 nc recently and it's really good and super cheap, especially if you buy them on the bundle deals page.
>>109465915Something's fucked with the distribution of numbers in the new sudoku game on hard or higher difficultyIt feels like there's always a cluster of similar numbers missing from one side of the board that makes it impossible to be certain and forces you to guess
>>109475574It seems like another one of those games I'll just ignore like shelf shuffle and rush hour. I still don't understand what minesweeper is for.
>>109472916>touring with carbonFull retard, that shit will explode on you. I get it for "high performance" ultra light bullshit so you can carry it over curbs easier, it's stupid on something that's already going to be heavy.
>>109474424>newfag bitching about board culturelmao I never thought I'd see the day
>>109471296If you're dead set on one of those portable ones get the ones that look more like a battery bank with 2 multimeter probes coming out of it.
theres no easy way to fiix this ;-;
>>109476613Start buying shit instead
eurobros, I just checked and coin discounts on ali are back. wagmi
>>109414553stop funding China traitor!
>>109476695
>>109476686When was it they were going to add the additional 2 euro cuck fee? In November? Might have to do my last last last order ever in october then, so irritating to pay extra for obscure fans for old laptops because of eutards.
>>109466691>mineral lensesinstead of what? organic lenses? metal lenses?
>>109477350Normally glasses are made from CR-39 so polymer lenses - organic.
>>109476701After years of Zionism, this kind of stuff doesn't hit like it used to. Too many people would bend the knee for a handful of cash.
>>109474198Just get one good manual folder, they are not that hard to deploy and get used to
>>109473439Obviously not
Hello I am a g newfag. please explain why someone would ever buy some inferior chinese product as opposed to Superior American/European Quality.
shut up glowiei VILL buy zhang's products
*eyeroll*
>>109478265No
>>109476139>Said the liberal squirting anal liquid over a simple word
>>109470895i wonder if that would work...but keeping discipline on very small workers would be hard. you'd have to shrink the managers too.on the other hand, you could pay them a lot less.
>>109478265No why would anyone do that? If you're too retarded to consoom like a /g/-master there's no help for you, you are a normie and an imbecile forever chained to the notions of consooming like a tard, paying greedy middle men for no reason. Begone.
>>109478779Anything possibly related event on the news?
any recommendations for a cheap chink watch?
>>109480696this is what tracking on the site says. had basically two days, dont know when the "accident" actually happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whats the go-to for chink vr headsets?
>>109476009Lol I have a pair of carbon hiking poles that I have abused the fuck out of for over 4000 trail miles, a lot of gnarly terrain too. Carbon tech is crazy now, get with the times boomer.
I need a high amount of sidebutton mouse that doesn't start doubleclicking/mousewheel click breaks.Don't say Razer Naga these are insanely overpriced, my last one started having issues after a year.
Why can’t I filter for>ships from EU in search? There’s now quite some stuff shipping from EU and AliExpress even has some neat little logo for it (or two actually, which somehow aren’t in sync), but why can’t I search for it?
>>109486838sort of works on my machine
>>109478779*Insert webm with containers falling off the chink ship in the middle of the ocean*
Any good tv boxes worth buying? Looking for something to replace my current Apple TV HD.I'm only gonna use it for Stremio and YouTube.I've seen that the Xiaomi tv box 3rd gen goes on sale for 35 bucks, might be the best choice. Asking just in case you guys know something better
>>109486917Is that in a desktop browser?Did they do a 180 and now desktop search works again, after they intentionally borked it, in favor of the app?
>>109487066Weird. Now it’s there in search, but I swear it wasn’t there before I complained here. Guess Xi is watching over us. Thanks Winnie!
>>109487066>desktop browser?yep, you need to double-check on the seller's page tho
>>109486917come on I need an all of europe category
>add fishing supplies to the cart>$12.50>go to checkout>$13.50 in taxes>empty cart and close the websiteWell it was fun while it lasted
>>109487128while there's a local+ category I can't find a local+ filter
Got two of these mini speakers for $4. They're currently on big coin discount if you're interested.
>>109467335I own 3 sebs and 2 knockoffs. The legit ones dont loosen up ofer time. Knockoff ones always seem to. That being said you can just replace them every 6 months snd give your old one away as soon as they start loosening up and still be cheaper over time than a legit seb. Unless you are autistic about fit and finish there are much better value knives out there.
>>109486917why cant i just check some EU button, this way you must check each country... (and then realize the item is in chinese warehouse anyway)
any canerafags?are k&f and b+w filters legit in ali?no way they can be so cheap and legit, right?also looking for other stuff like cheap tripod, camera backpack or padded pouch...
Reposting from /sqt/. My keyboard died, dunno much on keyboards, but it was some generic lenovo keyboard from work. just werked, until it didn't. Not interested in tinkering/ricing out/etc, just that it works out of the box. Looking for something with>numpad>no "gamer" RBG lights>silent>wired>quality control, won't die in a couple years
>>109414553>Chinese Stuff
>>109466714Unfold it
>>109414632I have a Toocki male to female cable, it's alright and I haven't had any issues.
>>109471211This, I'm trans btw dunno if that matters
>>109491339I have 2 Toocki usb cables and one doesn't work anymore, it shows me random numbers and just gives me 1WWhat did I expect for 50cents each
>>109491392I have 2 or 3 Toocki USB-C cables plus some other shit like a charger, the mtf 3.5 cable and adapters and they all work fine. They've been reliable for me.
>>109491343It doesn't matter to me, I'm cis btw.
>>109432752those shits burn.
I feel like getting into fountain pens but I got no idea where to start so of course I'm going to get the cheapest I can find on aliexpress but even there they look too expensive so I'm wondering if anyone else have gone this path.
>>109487266rip fishing anonanother loss to thread culture
>>109493261Are you getting into it because you enjoy writing and value the experience you get with your writing implements or are you getting it to consoom because you've already exhausted the other typical consoom items like headphones/IEMs, mech keyboards, EDC flashlights, knives, etc.
>>109493569I'm a bunbougu aficionado.
>>109491339I checked other 3.5mm connectors and the chinese cable has nearly the same dimensions as apple earbuds. It's the headphone port on my Dell laptop that sucks at gripping plugs. I blamed the wrong thing.
>>109494123Chinks would never wrong youBurgers however...
>>109486972If you go cheap get something with an Amlogic chipset. They have the best community support when it comes to custom roms. Either way the cheap shit usually gives you root so you can get in with adb and do a good deep cleaning which helps negate the OMG THIS HAS MALWARE claims you'll see about them which might very well be correct. I say you're better off getting something cheap but not so horribly out of date that the YouTube TV apk will tell you to fuck off. Disable the Google Play Store and Google Play Services to avoid taxing what little resources you have since you only care about 2 apps which are mostly going to be hitting your hardware accelerated decoding. It's a choice between bloatmaxxed but somewhat optimized and handling the optimization on your own.
I need this because reasons, Xi pls
I have no idea what China is doing, but my most recent bulk order from a chemical supply company came in like less than a week when normally it takes like three weeks. It was nuts
>>109495593I live in the Philippines and I got something from China on Shopee in 2 days recently. That's usually how long it takes for domestic deliveries to show up. The shipping was free too. Sadly the item I want much more that I ordered from Taobao is taking longer. After it went through the domestic shipper it was stuck in customs last night. But anything to save $5 right?
>>109495688Yeah I didnt ask for an unrelated anecdote
>>109495694rude and uncalled for
>>109495694I didn't ask for you to write a passive aggressive bitchy off topic reply either but you did it. Let's call that a bonus. Like when Chang includes something extra in the bubble mailer. I get to ponder your miserable existence too which is fun. Just like getting some shitty keychain you didn't ask for.
>>109495710Man I'm sorry you're so upset
>>109495721I'm not. But feel free to tell yourself that I am. We all need a self esteem boost sometimes and I feel like you earned it. Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you're the world's greatest troll. Doesn't that feel great? Like when your mom put your shitty crayon drawings on the fridge with a magnet.
>>109495737>>109495721
>>109495753It seems I have hit a loop in your NPC dialogue tree. Let's end it here. I hope you find the happiness you have been deprived of in your life. You will go on to do better things than try to get a cheap ego boost from sniping strangers on chink shit general. We all have bad days sometimes but you'll pull through. Since I pity you I'll offer you my concession and my condolences. Bye now!

>>109486917And even this filter doesn't work sometimes. Every other search it still brings up global results. Kinda telling that Ali doesn't actually care about EU market. There's no EU-wide filter, country filter doesn't work, the tax that is supposed to apply to categories of items applies to each item individually.

Has /csg/ been full of people looking to have petty gay slapfights instead of talk about chinkshit for awhile now? I know every general eventually turns into this but I didn't see where it started for this one.
>>109498385I see. Chinky assmad people prefer using chink instead of Chinese. Keep replying to me till the thread's archived. The new one will have the proper name.>>109498444Either a chink or someone from the smartphone general again. There's been a shitposter shitting that place up so sometimes they retaliate
>>109498459Well basically everyone in /spg/ is deranged so that thread deserves to be shit up. It serves no purpose except for one person to profess his love for Apple by getting angry all day long so it might as well be the designated shitposting thread. I'll be mindful of engaging with anything that appears like it escaped that specific containment zone.
chinese stuff is temporarythis thread has always and has been CHINK shit general
>>109498478It was decent at one point, but the apple freak and foldable shills make it unreadable. Doesn't help all foldable are shit compared to the surface duo. Why chinks don't copy that is still a mystery.>>109498503NUKEtrue. Western ART. CuckKINO

are power banks from these places safe?what's a decent power bank i can get for a someone who keeps forgetting/losing phone chargers while out and about?bonus points if it's in the shape of something kawaii (she is a grill who is my friend)
does anyone know how to get back the adult stuff on aliexpress in Europe ? I want to get some custom part for my megami device asra, like some nipples decal but I can't see them anymore, I can when I use a japanese vpn but can't deliver them
>>109489320that's the normal price
>>109494537best toy under 10000000 yuan
>>109500143>are power banks from these places safe?Buy from established brands like anker, baseus, ugreen etcBut most of them look boring and not kawaii at all
>>109500384Oh damn not as big of a discount then. Still, thinking of it as buy 1 get 1 free isn't too bad.
>>109502330>3.7 rating e-wasteI wouldn't consider it for free.
