so are we just dead?any reccs for camera gear?
>>110131800A USB chargeable battery like this one (same model, not this seller):aliexpress.com/item/1005006758682707.htmlMine works fine and charging it on its own with your phone charger is a game changer when you travel.UV filters for all your lenses to protect the front coating.some cheap "neoprene lens pouch" to toss them in your bag worry free.
>>110131900Sounds nice, not a fan of the micro usb on my camera.Still wary of chink batteries though.I already have a camera bag so I'll skip on the rest.The bag is way too big though, my camera & lens is at an awkward size where it's not small enough for the compact bags, but also much smaller than the average camera bag.
>>110131800Also Seafrogs diving case are really good and cheap for what it is.
>>110131946That's neat, was that a flash or a video light?
>>110131931>Still wary of chink batteries though.They are fine, actually safer in many cases (Fakitas often have protection, Makitas don't).I bought an external battery at Lidl and it got taken at Beijing airport because it didn't have the required safety certification.Just don't buy the shady "TurboFire 10000000000mah" 2$ ones.>>110131931>The bag is way too big thoughThat's why I got these pouches. I get whatever regular bag/backpack fits the gear I take for the moment, often a simple cotton totebag.
>>110131953Some handheld diving light.possibly like pic relaliexpress.com/item/1005003350372091.htmlit looks close to this one but not sure if it's the same. I definitly didn't pay that much for it though.Or maybe this one which I highly recommend even as a regular torch, if you remember that it willl overheat fast on high intensity if not in water:aliexpress.com/item/1005012307700703.html
>>110131800>>110131900I forgot to mention godox flashes likealiexpress.com/item/1005013115917551.html?I don't have much experience with flashes in general. It works fin I guess?and the TTartisan and 7Artisans manual primes. They are dirt cheap and surprisingly good.My favorite is the TTArtisan 10mm, at that focal length you don't even need to focus most of the timealiexpress.com/item/1005009050939990.html
>>110132169My TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 is my favorite lens.
>>110132169A compact ~24mm would make my kit nicely pouch-sized, though I'd want AF at that length.They do have AF version of some of the lenses, are those any good?
Actually I am seriously considering a compact tripod because there's no way I'm lugging a 2kg aluminum hunk around.Tripods like pic rel are made for phones but can also hold a camera. No idea if it could hold a >600g camera reliably though, and the build being 80% plastic is a bit concerning.It's cheap at least.
>>110129876Any one got details on handheld shower heads?I might buy one just to see. An all metal one. They've all got filters. I'm not keen on replacing those regularlyThe main selling point I'm seeing is high water pressure. Every item has a video that shows a qt asian girl comparing a weak stream compared to their superior water jets
>>110132242I have a 30mm viltrox with AF. It's very decent optically and the AF works fine but I should I buy one again, I would either go for a optically superior manual (and also cheaper) or get a better way more expensive AF one.On a side note, Laowa is releasing more AF lenses, keep an eye on them.
>>110132458>all metal oneWhy would you want an unreasonably heavy shower head?
>>110132522I heard good things of the Sigma 30mm
>>110130309they've improved the TCB cashback for my country to match uk's rates so now it's constantly at 23% during sales. heck yeah.
anyone else still waiting for their package to clear customs
>>110134446yes, has not moved since last week and i figured it out - oversized packages are snail mail so by the mail treaty, once it arrives in your country the logistics will also send it to you by snail mail using the lowest cost deliveryso i'm already at 23 days now and it won't move until next week or even longer
>>110134604fuck so that means i wont be getting it until nov. small electronics parts = fastlarge thing = slow
>>110135018if i remember correctly my oversized stick vacuum came in around 3 weeks, but this was june last year before the fuel crisis and EU tax madness
>place an order>think of something else I need right awayevery fucking time
>>110132585The plastic ones degrade over time.
They updated the app interface. It's barebones.No cashback. No 1 cent trials.Everything is gone.It's over.What a drastic change from one year ago.They were literally throwing money at me.
>>110137223the 1c shit was a huge issue because some countries needed your order to be at least $1 for it to go through while other times sellers would straight up not send shit over to the 3rd world countries
>>110137299Most sellers wouldn't send anything to my first world shithole. I don't think it was location specific as much as them not wanting to give things away.I won two separate things from the same seller. They sent one. The second one they some how managed to prevent the order from being placed. When I messaged them, they feigned ignorance. I'm jealous of the people who got big ticket items like tablets.
>>110129876So the whole month is a "sale" huh?
Is this Aneng SL108 soldering iron any good for small repair jobs? The screen died on my Quicko T12 station and I need something to replace it.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009495666976.html
>>110140426If you have another cheap iron lying around just replace the screen
>>110140455I saw that you can replace the screen, but when I had a quick look inside the station there's just a ton of glue holding everything together so I can't be arsed faffing about with that. Plus I've wanted a portable usb c iron for awhile now so I figured I'd upgrade.
The shitty Android TV I bought isn't as advertised. I got chinked, but I'm only out $30 on that. I'm gonna install something else onto it, pick up a USB to Ethernet adapter, and hook it up for use as a bridge between the BMC on my Chinese motherboard and my VPN.
>>110140426I don't understand why people still rag on about >IS DIS GUD IRONEven the $2 irons are decent these days. Sure, there are quality of life upgrades like easily swapped tips and stored temps but the main core of the thing which is heating up a bit of metal to a precise-ish temperature and dumping that heat into a component is a solved issue.>>107169118
>>110134446
Fucking EU.
>>110142547there's an anon here who defends these taxes and repeats their reasoning for them (that they're trying to cut down on cheap chinese parcels and improve unclog the system or whatever) but how do you explain these additional taxes on top of that?
recommendations for active noise cancelling wireless earbuds?
>>110142096When people think of soldering irons they think of the old tech grandpa used in the 1900s where it's a metal rod wired directly to AC. It heats uncontrollably, it cooks the tip and their PCB, solder doesn't stick because it immediately charred everything. They think they have to handle it like a medieval lightsaber. The average person doesn't know what PID control is unless they have a STEM background.$2 irons are not good. Those have a basic design and shit tips that will burn out. The decent ones with a proper MCU are about twice the price they should be because nobody knows it's a solved problem. It's probably one of the most overpriced things on /csg/ because of the outdated notions.
Can i get decent wireless keyboard and mice combos with nordic key (ÆØÅ) labels on aliexpress?
>>110142096I got a $10 Aneng (SL106?) iron awhile back that had a short as fuck cable and didn't securely lock the tips in place, so they could spin during use. A $20? Plusivo iron I was gifted before that stopped heating properly after using it maybe five times. There's still garbage out there, or at the very least poor QC.
dear friends
Any recs for electronics you can buy from Chyna? So far I got:>Three mini PCs>One refurbished handheld>Two laptops>A bunch of head/earphones and gamepads>SSDs, micro SD cards, optical discs>A phone>A NAS>Routers, switches, cables and whatnot>A projectorKinda starting to run out of ideas at this point, but I want to buy something cool and fun that I'll use regularly like all of the above and that won't collect dust.
>>110142547>Fucking EU.I hate those EU fucks so much. Hope they lose the war in Ukraine and more.Click on 10€ item and it's 18€ now at checkout.I want to thank CCP and chink factory workers for providing me with cheap chinkshit and filling my life with joy and prosperity for more than a decade. Package coming from china always brightened my day. It was good till it lasted and I will never forget you. We shall meet again.https://youtu.be/9iRlk5uXhZQ
>>110142547>Additional parcel fee 2€If it only was even that, but they actually want it per every unique item.
>>110149206fuck'em, I'm still ordering.got this tiny ads-b plane radar, will post review. just be aware - it's very very small.
>>110144221>but how do you explain these additional taxes on top of that?with this>>110149228>fuck'em, I'm still ordering.and i don't mean anon is wrong, cause even with all these fucking taxes getting it from chang is still the cheapest (and in some cases safest) option. Which is the reason behind the taxes, they just want their cut, it's literal free money for them
>>110149338and then you have to think of either give money to the middle man who lobbied it or pay the eucuck fees that will go to immigrants, it is still preferable to order directly from chang
>>110148865>I'll use regularlyAn electric toothbrush. Fix your dental hygiene.
>>110145011earfun air pro, they work well, sound good last 4+ hours on a charge and actually gets firmware update
>>110150009Have qcy melobuds pro some anon recommended here. They're good, 75% of Sony xm's I had before for 20% of price.If/when they die what should I get next, are those earfun air pro good upgrade? One thing, I need good microphones since I do a lot of voice calls, like hours a day.
>>110148865Get a Huananzhi server motherboard.
I fell for the meme.
>>110150183It gets better with alternate firmware, though the "keyboard" is practically useless.
>>110148865>>SSDsrecommendations?I want to revive an old PC. It's got an old slow harddrive.
>>110151551I got a Crucial and a WD in 2024 on ali for way cheaper than anywhere else (80€ for 2TB), both work flawlessly.Cheap SATA ones are fine and a huge improvement over HDD, bought several. Don't expect anything fancy like DRAM and you won't be disappointed.Just ordered picrel. It's too good to be true, we'll see.
>>110151551idk I have random cheap chink ones like kingdian and they all work great.even have chink runcore from early days of ssd drives, those where cool, chink military/aerospace contractor. Still works after 15 years of heavy usage.

Does anyone know where I could get Uniqlo's "tcg bag" on Aliexpress or Shein? I don't really know what to search for and "shoulder bag" just gives me two thousand hits

hail satan
are there any massage gun/tool that is actually good?
>>110155320This stuff just looks like old military surplus gear. Search for CLS bags and canteen holders.
>>110151551M.2 Samsung 980. Put it in my mini PC and it's been working flawlessly for a few months now, the speeds, etc match. Also got netac and kioxia ones, they all just werk.
Anyone here /fit/?I was looking into getting belt for weighted pull ups, but not sure if the ones on ali can be trusted.
>>110160421I've only ever used those large leather ones that you wear for back support, and hang the weights from the chains. If it's for a home gym, I'd just use a backpack, some padding (pillow) and weights.
No one is buying shit any more?
>>110162935I went from every week to around once or twice a month. Not EU btw, life continues on for people outside of tax prison.
Onahole reccs?
>>110163626>>>/jp/ona
>>110129876So i have a wall mounted pc, and it's has gotten kinda annoying to reach over the screen to turn it on, i know there are corded power on switches for cheap but i really wanted to avoid that, since i got all my peripherals wireless. So i bought one of these wireless power on buttons for pc, it's kinda pricey for just one button switch but it works great and the build quality is nice so it looks good on the table, the receiver has two options for power over pci-e slot or usb ( you need to have always on function turned on for usb obviously) which came handy in my case, since my gpu is vertically mounted and riser cable goes over extra pci-e slots which makes them unusable. also the transmitter is rechargeable over usb c, have yet to see how long the battery lasts, but it's probably going to be ages, since it will be used only 1-2 times a day.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012791089708.html
>>110162935Waiting for 11.11 to maybe get a Vader 5 Pro controller if it's discounted more than usual
>>110162935Didn't want to review any recent purchases until I'd gotten a decent amount of use out of them. At most I can say the 100W GaN Essager charger and cable I got work as advertised, properly fast charge my phone whereas my 100W Toocki cables don't, and the charger itself stays cool during use (the cable connector gets hot when it's pumping 100W).
>>110129876So i have a 100v system with one central player in one of my company locations, turns out they need separate music for one of the rooms, so i bought one of these, it works as intended, unfortunately in that room there is only one speaker, and i don't have option of running additional wires or installing extra speakers, so i had to chose either left/or right channel, maybe in the future they will release a model with stereo to mono downmixing option, it runs a 30w speaker fine, the sound quality isn't amazing, but the normies at the location are content, and most importantly it fit the already existing hole without a problem and it looks nice, i installed the player where the 100v wall attenuator was.
>>110162935I'm poor.They aren't doing epic promos anymore. That's where 90% of my purchases were.
>>110164306Does it state what input voltages it takes (assuming it's just passing through)?
>>110164827since it's usb, it's 5v, in the instruction it even says you can power the receiver from a battery, as long it's 5v, it's primarily design to be used as a pc switch, but nothing's stopping you if you have some other use case in mind if you have that in mind
Thoughts on travel neck pillows? I imagine Ali would offer me the same thing that they sell in airport shops
The 11.11 event has arrived. Looks like it'll be a few dollars in credit at most if you grind the daily tapping.
>>110164534How small is that house?
>>110166572looks like $1 credit per day in the coins section if you can complete all tasks (ie. trading coins with other people). i wonder if it will continue on for the entire month from now until 25/11 black friday
>>110149228I already have HackRF+Portapack but this one is some nice toy on the desk.
I got a board preheater from alibaba last year, I'm in the US so I paid about $50 "import charges." Is there any way to get the money back?
>>110166860>trading coins with other peopleThis part is annoying. I already got one guy on leddit who didn't reciprocate.
