A security camera solar panel. Get one from Amazon. Check the actual power (spoiler: it's going to be about 2-3W in practice at peak sunlight). Return it if it's worse.

i believe it's a soft launch for some sort of premium membership that's different from the perks one where you buy-in with $5 a month. i got mine for free and i don't think i spent $800 this year

Unfortunately being in EU + non-1st country limits me HARD with the shipping options
Thinking about this meme to get around 3W https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005013234151183.html also wondering if there is any better in the market that is treated as a standard here

my mechanic HK-990 soldering iron from last thread came in today, heats up fast as hell (around 10-12 seconds) compared to the generic one i've had for ages. not sure if the temperature control is any good or not but i don't exactly need precision heat for the electronics soldering that i do. would recommend it over the generic cheapo noname irons if you can get it for super cheap since i got it on a one-time offer for six bux.

It's sketchy without easy returns because of the rate of shit product. I looked for the same type of security cam solar panels I get from Amazon, but I didn't want to waste about $15-$20 a piece searching for a good supplier on AliExpress. That's issue. They make decent solar panels if you can find a good supplier.
They're delicate too. If you plan on using these as a tool to throw in your pack, and knock around a bunch. A wrong dent or imperceptible crack and it's over. I wouldn't be using it like that without a hard case to protect.
>>
Are there any decent/good cheap chink headphones? Actual headphones, not IEMs.
>>
>>109983123
moondrop has some gaming headphones that are coming out soon but honestly there aren't really any stand out models in terms of headphones that the chinese make for really cheap.
you just got moondrop and hifiman planars which aren't cheap, i guess standard headphones are really competitive and cost way more to make/ship/store than IEMs so they tend to lean towards the "premium" side so they can mark up the shit out of it.
if you're lookin for good deals there's always the used market, you can get great deals on well known models and just buy new pads for them.

Recommendation on WiFi antenna for PC?

are USB monitors still a thing? looking for something somewhat portable, but open to any size. any brands I should avoid?
>>
>>109984728
Just the antenna?
>>
>>109985706
Yeah. I've been burned too many times by chink ethernet cables and cable "extenders"
>>
>>109985014
I got an Arzopa one like 2yrs ago and it's great.
>>
>>109986015
Thanks! Reviews look good, and price is reasonable.
>>
>>109985718
buy the lowest priced cables. if it works it works and if it doesn't then there goes 1.59

Ali likes to sell fake shit to crystal girls. Everything from colored acrylic passing off as fluorite or melted bottles with a green hue as moldavite.
This one they're not even trying.
>>
>>109987847
huh what lens are you buying? what for? a electronics miceroscope?
i just remembered that technically my ortho eyepiece is a microscope eyepiece, werks the same in a telescope
>>
>>109985718

I deleted my Aliexpress account and have not ordered since ever again after they did not side with me when a wrong model number of an item was shipped that was entirely incompatible. Order details and photo of products showed the clear mismatch. Fuck chinks. Fuck the site, customer support has turned dogshit after normies discovered Ali. Same with Google play, only had one app that did not work with my phone's hardware. Proof of the dev being uncooperative. No refund. Never used play again.

It's a good run until it isn't.

One's a macro lens, no clue how it'll fit.It's an impulse buy. Macro lens on a microscope seems idiotic but we'll see.
What I actually needed was a polaizing filter for my adonstar whatever, again, no clue how it'll fit but I can figure it out.
and the little loupe thing adding it to cart reduces the overall cost due to ali express shennanigans, so might as well.
>>
The thing I ordered with a big coupon and a bunch of coins is now $5 cheaper with just coins...
>>
>>109989998
What stuff did you order?
>>
>>109990017
An LED lantern. But it kind of balances out because I got some hugely discounted flashlights too.
>>
>>109990071
Sounds nice, I light cozy lights

Alibaba employee, I know you're listening.
The email notification system is bugged. It sending me updates for packages from weeks ago that I've already confirmed received and reviewed.

What's with this shit? I'm not a new user by any means, but when I was searching stuff the other day, all the results were $1 with this offer but if you added anything else to cart, both items would then be normal price. So I bought something yesterday for $1 and then again today, I was ready to bite the bullet but again, everything was a dollar until adding multiple items or again, after checking out, everything's back to normal prices. Does it have anything to do with the Halloween sale, or is this just always how Ali works. Does it refresh daily or something?
>>
need a cheap figure to put in my PC case, ceingier the better. any suggestions?
>>
>>109989173
Tale as old as time. Sometimes I wonder if I'm strong enough for when the heartbreak happens to me.
>>
My strategy is holding out on my welcome back deal to spend it on a item I really want with a big fat discount
>>
>>109991434
You can only get 1 item as a new user, not more. When you stay for too long without buying anything your account is considered a new user.
>>
>>109991834
anything that's a 'prize figure' might suit you
although i do not suggest putting your hotglue slave inside the 'puter case
>>
>>109993641
its sort of an inside joke about adding slightly cringey things to rice out the computer. my personal aesthetic I'd otherwise really minimal and bright
>>
A Chinese vendor just messaged me about my parcel getting mistaken for another customer's and they need me to cancel the order so they could resend the correct one. What are the chances that I'm getting chinked?
