Lets try that again edition

Everything 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.

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?
>>
>>109864969
Gotcha. 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.
>>
>>109862203
I 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.
>>
>>109862244
Same.
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.
>>
>>109865331
You'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.

So 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.

Does 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.

I 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.

Not all that big but
ordered 3 stackable mining frames.
They came flat-packed in their own boxes
inside a bigger box secured with staples.

It weighted quite a bit

I 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

>Are Ali returns worth it
No 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.

I 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.

Update 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.

i have that one, and other the shadow one that is suposed to be mainline openwrt and more modern and it is the 1200 the one with more features, they backport features even if the base firmware is not that new
like check the mango & shadow they are also in the same range price
But also the drivers have been mainlined on the linux kernell a few months ago https://forum.openwrt.org/t/sf19a2890-commit-possible-new-devices/210739/77
so sooner than latert there would be a mainline openwrt for that router.

After months of abstinence I have returned to the chinese shit ways

I ordered these clips
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011591266493.html
Because the little hook for my 10m ethernet cable broke for it to clip in. These slide right on over and give it that lock again. Works well, happy with these.

Some phone cases. And this Android Auto screen for my car along with a mount, also ordered from AliExpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009985515249.html

The screen is fine. I got it about half that price. Resolution is low so it's a bit on the blurry side. Only thing is my dumb ass didn't account for where I'd put a 10" screen in my car and there's nowhere it can reaasonably go without it being in the way of my view, or being far out of view to where looking over to it constantly is not going to be helpful when I need my eyes on the road.
I'm thinking about getting a 7" one but just makes me wonder if it's even worth it at that size because aren't phones about that size anyway?

are you paranoid with the security & privacy? if not there is no downside other than it is hardware limited, which is why is so cheap. most people dont need everything updated to the last version, and again they are already making a a firmware with the free drivers.

assuming it's similar to the one I have on my laser pointer/power point thing, you can move it around in your hand and the cursor will move across the screen. Not that easy to control, takes some practice. At least with that remote you won't acidentally blind yourself pressing the wrong button.

The latest euro fuckery is temporary, will be removed on july 1st 2028 (only 22 months! yay I love regulation!).

The current system is basically a stopgap to stop people from overwhelming the customs (and get some free cash while doing so) until they have the proper system in place. What will come after is a correct way to tax stuff properly. It's the EU, so I'm sure it'll be a pain and too high, but the core pain point of the current system, the flat 3€ tax on each category of items (who the fuck got that idea) will at least stop then.

I'm the same. Used to be a regular in the thread, haven't posted or bought shit since the tax is in place. I'm not buying a small electronics haul (esp, some cables, soldering iron tips, passive components, packaging, filament) and paying 2x the cost of the items in taxes on top. Fuck the current system and fuck the EU for putting it in place.

Hardware video encoding and Blender render server primarily, and when I'm not running jobs, some gaymen servers.

On an interesting note, I would like to bring up the GPUs: I have four 32GB Instinct Mi50s because that's all I could reasonably afford. They're solid cards performance-wise, don't get me wrong. For my needs, they're more than enough. (Hell, two is enough, but that's besides the point.)
Three of them have a Pro Vega II VBIOS flashed onto them, while the last one (presumably) has the original VBIOS that came with the card. I didn't do any of this; they came to me this way. Used.
The cards with the Pro Vega II VBIOS are seen A-OK by the motherboard, but the stock card is not. Keep in mind that the stock card worked (and still works) just fine on the old consumer motherboard.
So I either need to see if there's a BIOS update or fix that addresses this (I've read some shit about a GPU whitelist that some server motherboards can have, regardless of manufacturer? need to look into it more desu), or flash the stock card with the Pro Vega II VBIOS.
Until I quit being lazy (and until I finish mourning the untimely death of one of the cards), I'm stuck running two for now.

It's pretty common for chink mobo manufacturers, the less popular ones at least, to use pirated bios and such. It's more like pirated SDK, not like the bios itself has any real drm.
You know what BMC it uses? Maybe lift that heatsink if it's not too much trouble.

Also what's wrong with the card? Is it just not recognized at all, even in the OS?
As cheap as the MI50s are they are so dated that their usefulness seem questionable despite the huge HBM. I've heard gaming sucks on them, even more so than a normal vega. No support for the fancy new AI float formats either (took amd forever to add this).

As for the dead card, there is a red LED on the back of the card (see pic). A functional card, when slotted into the motherboard, will have the LED flash 2-3 times as part of its own self-test, then stay off for as long as there is power going to the motherboard. The dead card's light is lit the moment it receives power from the motherboard (system off). Research points to a power distribution failure, which is out of my realm. I'd have to send it into a GPU repair service or buy a new card.

I think you're misunderstanding my (and probably other people's) issues with this regulation and why it's the one that got us to buy much less if at all.
It's neither that I can't afford a few bucks more, nor is it that I'm principally opposed to tariffs or restrictions on some imports.
It's that I'm continuously malding at the ass-backwards way this shit was implemented.
The way it works is this: A flat 3€ fee on top of normal fees, for each "category" of item.

For big purchases that barely matters, for small shit it adds up (that's by design). I understand that they want to punish the guy buying 15 types of stuff that'll be in the trash tomorrow from temu for 5€ total, fair enough.
But for me, I often buy electronics. They get shipped as one package, but the regulation punishes me for each item. A lot of people I know who were into DIY electronics stopped because of this shit.

Example cart:
Peristaltic pump 5€
dupont wires 2€
esp8266 3€
arduino nano clone 3€
logic analyzer 5€
crocodile clips 2€

Now imagine that this goes from 20€ (Cost of items) to 20+6*3=38€ (6 categories, maybe 5 if arduino and esp are one, 3€ each).
It's not about the 18€ difference really, it's about the fact that while I got used to getting buttfucked by tariffs by now, I refuse to also spread my cheeks and say thank you on top.

>>109920639
For rough guidance, these are nice. I have a cheap one I've used for years in the kitchen.
Just be aware that the technology technically requires you to set the reflectivity of the surface to be somewhat accurate (e.g. scanning water is different from oil is different from metal etc.). You can do so manually, but you won't, because you're lazy (as am I). So just accept that it's rough guidance and don't use those for accurate measurements.
Stuff like "Is this oil near 180C" is fine. "What is my internal temperature to see if I'm sick" is not.

That's not weird it just means it just doesn't have any way to limit inrush current, maybe to increase efficiency or just to save space. I had a xiaomi charger that did the same, it was the smallest 65W charger at the time I think.

I learn something about these cheap E-Bikes. The one you brought was a Hub-Drive while the real best versions are Mid-Drive. Easy to spot a Hub-Drive because it only spins the wheel while Mid-Drive is pedal mechanism that allows that illegal speed limit to be possible.

Hey folks, I need to wire up internet in my home, my router's 40 meters away from me, so I need something that can reach me from outside with little disturbance.

Maybe /hsg/ might be a better bet.

The only thing I know on the subject is that:
- some routers and some network cards have a slot for an optical module
- there are different module standards, so you have to check what can go into your router, and what can go into your network card (sfp, sfp+, sfp28, qsfp+, qsfp28, etc)

I'd probably look for well known models and brands on ebay.

I rode her in to theoffice today and things thankfully went smoothely. Those big wheels are nice for non-ideal roads ad situations whete I need to swap from road, to sidewalk to grass quickly. I'm still not used to it yet, so going at the rated speed is still a bit scary, but it will likely clear up with time. Though it makes me consider a few things:
- I really need to lose weight
- Bike lanes really are bad in America. Even when I was trying to avoid it, I had to go on the sidewalk a bunch of times to avoid cars.
- That said, the sidewalks are poorly maintained too, but at least there's enough of them. I remember the last place I lived barely had any.
- Scooter fags are worse than I thought.

Some tips from bikers, you technically don’t need to always follow the road. If there’s a path not used by cars you can use it if it’s not private property. If raining, never go to road, they literally can’t see you without powerful lights around you. Wear googles to perfect eyes. Lastly, helmet because gravity doesn’t care about you and head trauma is awful.

I got one of my large packages, be advised, when the chinese ship a product that comes in a large box, they dont put it into another box to hide its value like amazon. they just tape the logos with semi transparent tape. so if you live in a high crime area, its possible that someone could ID your package as high value and steal it. next time in the order notes ill add for them to cover up the box better.

Americans are crazy to just leave the packages on the floor.
don't you have a post office or at least call the guy you're delivering to to see if they're home

yes there is the post office option, to hold your mail and you go pick it up. BUT you have to set that option up. to be honest, in my location ive never had a problem with package theft. so ive never had to do it, so far.

Bought the "Koonie" (highest rated) seen at 8:45 after watching this video, I took screenshots of the ones he recommended and used the Aliexpress image search.

It doesn't stop sweating, but you want the sweat cause the air blowing on it is what makes you feel cool. Battery lasts a long time. Flashlight is pretty bright and reaches farther than my phone.

It feels really solidly built, it's a mix of thick plastic, and hard rubber (orange bits). It definitely feels like a higher quality product than the 21 euros I paid for it.

fucking eu tax, 1usd plug for my dads excavator cost 6usd here in eu, same plastic chink shit. If i want to order few of this kind of automotive/machinery plugs and sockets that maybe will be needed for replacement at some point (to have it on hand for repair) buying same items locally costs literally tens of euros; buying it in China costs just a few euros, but thanks to taxes final cost of buying it in China ends up being tens of euros.
Also my simple diy audio hobby is pretty much dead unless im willing to spend more for parts than for complex audio products from china. Its even cheaper to buy something from them and scrap it for parts than buying parts itself

Why do i think that this tax killed a new generation of people working with electronics here in EU, all my friends that went that route started with cheap shit from china to learn.

i was contemplating whether or not to reply to this a few days ago because i don't think anything i'd say would change your mind but i'll leave it here anyway: if you think this new set of tariffs were implemented because of the reason they told you, then i have a chinese-made bridge to sell you in a european LIDL marked up by 500%

This thing fucking sucks! And I waited so long to open it and then waited so long to try it that it was too late to return it and I'm stuck with it.

Everything is a forced widescreen perspective and 1/10th of the games actually load. And it specifically doesn't have the flagship Nintendo games, like this one Chinese shyster company won't "risk" a lawsuit. The screen is very dim even turned all the way up. It's just a cheap, airy, flimsy piece of shit. The buttons suck and the sound sucks too.
I have had good handhelds from China too, but they all die within 18 months or so. I should just buy an expensive one and learn how to load it with working emulators and roms. But I'm lazy and not tech savvy. Maybe I can find someone who sells good tested ones.

They work pretty well.
They charge for like 2 hours and then go empty in like 2 minutes, so you can imagine they output a lot of power.
However I got one with a brush attachment at the front, they're gentler for sensitive electronics and can also do some physical rubbing.

I think that’s what you actually did, there’s a new scam going around that gives you a chance to win the product. They give you a ticket and instructions to know if you win. Obviously that’s not allowed but the same works and it’s why they keep doing it.

These are cheap because they use drone motors and 18650 cells, which both are produced in vast quantities. This is basically Ukraine war surplus from a supply chain perspective. That's about what you should expect: a drone motor strapped to a single 18650, maybe a 2S pair.

The reason that they are battery powered is that li-ion cells can supply the large currents needed. Getting that kind of current from the wall would involve AC/DC conversion. It would be 5x more expensive for the size, given the current involved.

That said, they are pretty good. Better than I expected. This is one of those situations where you, the consumer, get a 'good deal,' by freeloading off an adjacent industry with massive economies of scale. Take advantage.

what's with euroids bitching about aliexpress prices? does the EU have some new tariff or something on china?
>>
>>109968091
Yes, €3 on each category. This means if you buy toy outside the EU, you’ll get tax. If you buy toy and tech, that’s €6 tax. So obviously if you buy toy, tech and clothing you get taxed €9.

I'm enjoying my DIY TV bias light. It's comfy. Best quality of life improvement per cost ratio from my /csg/ adventures in a while.
I added this remote relay to control the power and dimmer buttons. I put magnets on case so it sticks to the back of the TV. What I didn't account for is the back of TVs are acoustically designed to amplify the crappy built-in speakers. It makes the clicking from the relays quite loud.

No I refuse to support their lobbying so Ill order directly from Chang anyway with the eu cuck tax. I hate the eu now, a 10 euro fan will be 25 euro now
