Lets try that again editionEverything is already from China, but here we discuss the cheap chink shit you see on various sites.1st rule of /csg/: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.Useful links>TWS IEM reviews: www.scarbir.com/>Guide: csg-guide.neocities.org/>Wiki: https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Chink_Shit_General>What headphones/earbuds should I buy?>>>/g/iemg>I want a cheap smartphone what should I buy?>>>/g/spg/>I want to buy some sort of emulation device>>>/vr/hhg/Previous: >>109852516
>>109862120wha' happun
>>109862153the thread keeps dying cause no-ones buying shit cause of dumb taxes and duties
>>109862203my problem is more like lack of money for expensive stuff, and that i basically have almost all the cheap stuff i need. At least until i finish the renovation of my house
Would you guys recommend buying camera equipment (filters, straps, maybe lenses) from chink sites?
>>109863095Yeah just gotta be real with the expectations, you're not getting killer optics for $50
>>109863281Yeah looks like it. However the filters look pretty nice.
>>109863354I have a kf concept cpl, works fine
>>109863377Nice I was just looking at the kf concept 3-in-1 filter. Thanks.
>>109863095yeah, I've bought filters an lenses for smartphones, and if these works just fine I can imagine they'll work for cameras. Also straps for my watches. These things are no brainers, of course they'll work.
How to circumvent age check on aliexpress? I want to browse cheap chink onas but everything is blurred and blocked. I tried using a kiryu kazuma selfie like that anon 2 threads back, got denied 3 times and then was told to wait. That was almost 2 weeks ago. Any ideas?
>>109864969Gotcha. I think I can get used lenses for a similar price locally. For the rest I can use ali. I'm just gonna go on a tangent and declare that I hate buying camera stuff from local sellers because they are universally greedy assholes. I even imported a camera from Japan all the way into backwater Africa on principle. I hope those avaricious niggers all go out business.
>>109862203I can confirm that I used to be a regular, but /csg/ died for me with the latest eurocuck tax being introduced.Nobody wins with this shit in place. It's not like I will buy the stuff I used to get on Ali domestically, especially that it will not be produced domestically anyway but instead it'll be the same /csg/ shit + taxes + margin of whoever is trying to sell it to me locally.
>>109862244Same.I'm the neet that started wage slaving for /csg/ money, but now that I've learned the value of the dollar. I'm too cheap for cheap shit. Plus, my IP range got butt fucked starting sometime last year. I can't even post images of the shoddy wares I've purchased. Most sites are making me run the gauntlet of captchas. It's frustrating. My ISP gives forever static IPs so I'm stuck in internet hell. Oh yeah, and work is finding new ways of bending me over with new bullshittery all the time. Life is hard, buckos.
>>109865331You're using a still image when the ID site is actually recording you before the prompt even comes up. Preferably, you need a gif or a short video clip playing on loop. Use OBS and its virtual webcam and point it to such a file.t. still circumvented since they implemented it
I'm canadian so I guess we don't have the same american/euro tariffs.I was looking at getting a new tablet to replace one I got in 2019. What are people liking tablet wise?
Was the Aigo Eros Q discontinued like within the last month or two? I recently got a new one because I had the very first revision, and now one of my friends wants to get a music player as well but all of them are gone from Ali now.

>>109866584Look at lenovos stuff, I have the chink equivalent of the first Legion Tab (the Y700 2023) and it's a great 8" tablet.I think Xiaomi/redmi stuff is still good too, and there were some other chink only brands that are good but I can't remember their names right now.
>>109869751I also have a lelnopo tablet and the software is buggy dogshit, might be better to stick with bigger names like oppo.
>>109865524>Nobody wins with this shit in place.(((they))) win, as this is just them going "we want our cut". Knowing full well most people will still buy from chang cause it's still less expensive than buying locally
>>109863095bought a camera and a lense one time.total scan, fake fedex photo, ali refunded but it took a month.
>>109866584>4GB RAMcome on bro, that's just pain
>>109870301read again
>>109870317never :)I got a xiaomi pad pro 7 a year ago and it's very good
I want my cheap chink shit back...
>>109871791anti-semitic as fuck
I want a wireless mechanical keyboard with trackpad
>>109862203i just make a huge order last week. everything came earlier than the shipping estimate. i mostly buy electronics. has anyone order something large from ali express? like computer cases? how does that turn out ?
>>109873609oh , also experience have yall had with the rechargeable usb c aa aaa batteries?
>>109862120What are some good home studio Chinese speakers I can buy? Anyone have any experience with some good Chinese home studio speakers?
>>109867496why are all the good codes for USA, they already have cheap prices
does anybody have a recommendation regarding portable waist fans? i just skimmed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzkTlAeMDZU but it's too much information for my tiny brain and i need somebody to spoonfeed me
>>109873609So much wrong with these, clearly 1.5V but they go with 4100 "mWh" instead of mAh to trick your eyes. Also people get so fed up with plugging USB they want wireless, now imagine plugging 4. At least with a charger I can just quickly shove 4 batteries in, not to mention the reduced capacity.
>>109874652the green one on top is nice
Some of my stuff finally came in.>MAONO DGM20S USB condenser micPretty high quality. Don't care for the RGB shit.>MAONO MH700 headphonesBetter sound than my cheap ass Logitech headset.>off brand 8GB+128GB Android TV box and USB wireless mini keyboard/trackpad comboDoes run 8K as advertised, but it definitely struggles doing so. 4K60 runs without problem. Came preinstalled with some extra stuff, but I gotta see if I can remove it in favor of open source replacements. Still, F-Droid, NewPipe, regular Kodi, etc. work fine, and so does the keyboard/trackpad. Both the remote for the TV box and the keyboard/trackpad require 2x AAA each.
>>109873609looking into buying a case with 2 panes of glass. the seller double boxing the case with thick slabs of foam should ensure it gets to you in full pieces. but yes there's a lot of luck involved
>>109874271the US are huge spenders in global ecommerce and now that EU has left the party they are the main overseas consumerbase
>>109873609My local delivery company is dumb, they literally never saw a P.O Box address. They literally never understood the concept of putting mail in a mailbox.Oh also, mo don’t try mailing to P.O boxes. I just did it because AI generated the answer and wanted to cause problems for Aliexpress. You can’t mail to P.O Box addresses unless it’s part of the union agreement.
>>109876819No.
>>109876809does your local mailing company use whatsapp as its official customer support channel
>>109873622I got lithium cells to replace faulty ones in a tool battery. From what I gathered chinks lie through the teeth about the capacity, and it's often stated in the comments by buyers who check the actual mAh on arrival. Wasn't really a problem in my case since I wanted parts identical to what I already had.
>>109873609>order something largeNot all that big butordered 3 stackable mining frames.They came flat-packed in their own boxesinside a bigger box secured with staples.It weighted quite a bitand so delivery was about 60% of the total cost for the "in about two weeks" option.
>>109873609I ordered a kitchen sink once but it was on taobao not ali
>>109873817edifier for a normie choice, maybe aiyama for a more chinky choice
Are the headphones cables on aliexpress somewhat good or decent? I need some new ones and I'm a little bit unwilling to spend over 100 bucks just for a cable.I have Hifiman Arya for example.
>>109878326Don't overspend on fucking cables of all things
>>109876989Apparently yes, did not expect to WhatsApp me because they always call. Now i see that it’s one company with multiple Chinese partners in Mexico. Might be the same everywhere else.
>>109878326>>109878363the fact people even consider spending hundreds on cables in the first place is blackpilling. At least I know I can make some cash reselling crap to retarded audiophilesanyways i got this $3 female to male 3.5mm cable ages ago, worked fine enough but eventually got damaged so I'm looking to replace it
>>109878326I got these for my HIFIMAN ANANDAs and they've lasted a year so far.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006196053670.html
>>109879153Yep, I don't get why they're so damn expensive here when they're all manufactured at the same place. Unless they're like artisan shits handmade by some guy in his garage >>109879260I'm interested in picrel but I'll check yours too. I think I'll get 2 or 3 different cables
>order mini bluetooth keyboard>order arrives>no bluetooth>check product description>no mention of bluetooth>literally have no use for this without bluetoothI swear I checked. I SWEAR I did. This has happened to me before too. It never used to. How am I getting stuck ordering the wrong things. Are Ali returns worth it at all or am I just going to lose the money and the item in some "oopsie we didn't get your item" scheme
>>109881181>Are Ali returns worth itNo idea.You can only work your way through their returns process and report back.On product page, look through all the variations to see if one was bluetooth.On orders page, look to see which variation you ordered.Was it part of the "choice" scheme?Does the page say free returns?Good luck.
Bump.
So, have the chinks figured out how to break the laws of thermodynamics?
>>109883387what? those are regular chemical desiccants
>>109883412
> aliexpress.com/item/1005007624283986.htmlI posted not long ago about Toocki cables failing. I suspect it's not the cables dying on their own. I think it's this shit ass charger. I certain it just blew up one of my USB power meters. The meter suddenly reboot and went into some firmware reset screen. Now it's measuring 0 amps on some devices even though they're using power.I"ve also mentioned before that these Essager chargers spark at the prongs when plugged it. They also seem to behave strangely. If a device stops drawing much power, then the charge will stop supplying power and the USB cable has to be unplugged and plugged in again. The prongs are also highly ferrous. So yeah, don't buy Essager chargers. They're F grade shit.
>>109883461what? the chemical absorbs a ton of the water and then when saturated it drops as a saturated solution in the lower part. or that is how i think it worksi bought those when i was living in malta, they do work. and i know it feels weird that you end with a liquid bag
>>109883387Time for educational video from Ted-Ed: youtube.com/watch?v=QWCHnR53oIw
>>109883632>>109884072Even a molecular sieve won't separate water out into a condensate.
>>109883461It's a shop, real thing the white pellets will be dissolved by the water they absorb, and naturally flow into the lower pocket.
>>109881181Odd, I thought all of these had bluetooth. You might be able to get a courtesy return/refund if you explain it was a simple oversight. Contact their support.
>>109876989Update on my P.O Box situation. Obviously they couldn’t do. Talked to the mailman about it and they will reject it because it’s not part of the union agreement. Surprisingly the company did let me allow to pick it up and they have a store with pickup lockers and such.This entire time Aliexpress, could have offered pickup but never did. Learn a lot today and got to meet the guys who deliver to my house. They have an app that confirms drop off. Yes they used Google Maps to confirm location and if your house doesn’t show up on Google Maps then they ask you to pick it up.Just something you guys want to know in case you’re interested.
Bought some more stuffmake sure you check your carts and remove items where you added a cheaper one or else you will end up with fucking 2 of them.also convert metric to inches or else you will get a tiny ass indicator arm that doesn't fit any of your indicators
>>109885137Also think about what you are actually buying before adding it to cart what the fuck am I going to do with this tiny ass threading tool
>>109885148this came in a day or two later
>>109885148It's a threading tool. Looks made for internal threading on a late.
Thank you, SAMZHE, you are my greatest ally.
>>109884637kek these guys operate in my country too and they get a lot of shit especially early on
