i made one from parts and finetuning

1-300m 245 degree and some closer to 1000dollaroos spent

(it was optics what cost us really)

but still

and 300m was theoretical max on perfect enviroment

having 3 separate scanning heads stacked and angled slightly different was the hardest part

damn i wonder what else

i bet there is something im missing

_does some inventory quickly*_

sounds cool

oh yeah.,....personal stuff is probly slightly more... like 600

due leather and stuff

i kind of forgot that due i have leather from .. like 4 different places

chink leather was decent to my suprise

i was prepared that i wasted 100+ dollaroos to shit

if aliexpress had gl702zc

i would probly buy it from there

just to see if i they get it right

but im still on edge with that laptop

its good specs but keyboard is probly worst i have typed with

and mouse does not have separate buttons from touchpad area

I feel the same way re: keyboard, but on the EZBook 3.

Awful, awful, awful.

im used to chicklets and a like keyboards where the travel is low and so on

they are not nice but they do their thing

but FUCK that guy with a rake who made those neopreney silicone feeling keys

and their movement

i bet his fingers were hurting from all the whipping they get

so he invented soft and cushioned feel to keyboard

also

does anyone have idea about chink spectrum leds

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hydroponice-AC-220V-20w-30w-50w-led-grow-chip-full-spectrum-380nm-840nm-for-indoor-plant/32720760568.html?

basil and chilies need more light

they are slowly dying under current setup

while you're at LEDs, does anyone know how waterproof are the waterproof LED strips?

all but the ends usualy

sometimes even those if they are made with proper connectors

would mount them in my car one day

to give at least a little bit of illumination

no indoor lights yay

iirc they are inside acrylic/resin mass

what has vacuumed around the strip

oh, that'd make them pretty waterproof

could be silicone for curves and stuff

but I guess I can't chop them up as I wish with that?

you can from the connector points

you just need to seal it as good

some clear silicone/heatwrap/etc

~~glue gun~~

apparently there is two ways

silicone coating (with wacuum i think)

and silicone tube (diffueses te light too if sanded)

like so https://kfupload.alibaba.com/kf-down/HTB1ZBT3PXXXXXbCaXXXq6xXFXXXk.jpg?size=688199&height=1000&width=1000&hash=e5a79744cd9473e8db50d1364de8ca3d

and so https://kfupload.alibaba.com/kf-down/HTB1RR9zPFXXXXbkapXXq6xXFXXX7.jpg?size=170774&height=800&width=800&hash=9d0013237e3dba0c308b1205a8afbadc

hmm the diffused light seems like a better option for mounting in the car

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-5050-RGB-LED-Strip-30-60-144-LEDs-M-ws2812-IC-Individual-Addressable-5V/262452005540?hash=item3d1b5bcaa4:m:mkMwXOyKYoE3TxVrA-ee05w

there one ebay seller what has good pics and decent pricing on invidual adressables apparently

yeah i just need warm white that I can hook up to the battery and open door sensor

sure those are no neopixels but still

i'll find something, thanks

anker is for some reason on aliexpress too...

I wonder why?

fuuuk i want more nitecore shit

nitecore sux

you suk

Who's the nkon.nl shill here?

@Tervy pics of the LiDAR?

Impressive stuff

Fuck, why do i still read GizChina

It's become so trash over the past year

ESL ads at this point basically

Are there any websites that actually still review chinese gadgets and don't just post ads for new sales?

techtablets?

lol

ayy

@Cad probably the Indian sites

did the dude just randomly start spamming invites

or what

gsmarena and notebookcheck sometimes review xiaomi stuff

gsmarena acutally review a few chinese phones

didnt gsmarena review all of em?

yeah they review quite a bunch of them

Sweden's antics worry me

EU could follow up on that and put similar rules in place

what did sweden do

A fixed tax for every item from China @bentech

wtfffff

About 15 bux

It's not sweden as a whole, though

It was nordpost, a private company

Afaik

https://www.thelocal.se/20180119/your-cheap-imports-from-china-are-about-to-get-more-expensive

I wonder if this will effect stuff shipped through PostNL, It usually doesn't show up as a Chinese parcel on my postal service's tracker.

@Hanzer PostNL itself has a deal with AliExpress

For people in the Netherlands at least

Promising a delivery of 7 days even

>the absolute state of sweden

That would only affect sweden right?
Fuck the clickbait title.

Hm maybe if u fit 300 stuff in a package it will be worth

Do you get customs as well, or is it just tax

Random checks.

And if the randomly checked parcel is valued over 50usd you pay 16% import tax.

not rly clickbait it's a swedish site lol

@Tribit and that benefits the rest of us

As they then have a easy gateway to the rest of the world

Netherlands, Singapore, Turkey etc

Has this site been shilled on here before?

https://thieve.co/

Keep in mind that they make money if you use the product links on their site

@Grim_Reaper then go to the link yourself once they show it themselves

I mean, is there something necessarily WRONG with referall links? surely you don't expect them to >do it for free

Just to be clear, I'm not affiliated with the site at all. Just wanted to know if you guys had heard of it.

Nothing is wrong with referall links if somone is transparent about it.

I used to use AliBonus which worked off of affiliate links

the chinks are going to have a sale for their new year, right/

also you know, after even the cheapest shit I bought on ali had tracking, waiting for SAL on my weebshit from Japan without tracking is pure torture

I thought chinks cease all activities at chinese new year

@Stoopeedo Doesn't mean they don't do sales

has anyone here ordered custom enamel pins from alibaba

Hey guys i've done the first review for my new channel, it's of the NesPi case if anyone's interested; https://youtu.be/-mvDIkMxMmQ

nice review. ill actually look into getting one

Thanks man, i got mine for 20aud which was real good, but i dont think i'd pay anymore than that for one, i mean at the end of the day it's just a case, but it's a great case

well i have two choices. either get it from chink site for $20usd and wait a month and a half, or pay an extra $3usd to get it from amazon withing 2-3 days

chink site it is cuz i can use that $3 to buy more fake chink seeds and dried mangos

also UPDATE on my seed experience so far. 2 of the 5 lotus seeds ive been germinating have sprouted so far. the others might just be a little slow. the one has gotten so big im going to be moving him to another bigger pot either tomorrow or the next day. so theyre not fakes. or rather, at least they grow

@Issun Nice, I have it. Bought some retropies and sold for cash

The music you use is horrible though

@Alfadir not a fan of kirby music? 😦

I like the games:(

the music probably isnt bad

but its not really fitting

I guess?

anyone know if anyone sells this in the us? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5-inch-Rear-Wheel-Back-wheel-for-model-S3-S2-I7-I6-Electric-Scooter-Kick-scooter/32829217261.html

been serching and looks like its only on alibaba. i got a free electric scooter from a friend and t he rear wheel is broken

do you need that exact type of wheel?

i think so

I can only find hard rubber type of wheels wtf

untill i can confirm bearing size. not sure if regualr scooter wheels would work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0cooh74fuA its this scooter under a different brand name.

all of the chinese fwd electric scooters use the same 3 spoke wheel

if hard regular "stunt scoote" wheels work, ill get those but im not sure. also looks like the company may have stripped the screws on purpouse which means i have to tap them or something

6 inch wouldnt work right?

i dont think so . the ali page said it was 5 inch which is 127 mm, but i can easily find 120 mm wheels. dont know if they are rounding. also havent measued bearings.

I found a store but it looks really sketchy

and I dont know anything about scooters

https://electricscooterparts.com

they have an inspiring slogan too

also found this https://www.amazon.com/Scooter-Inflation-Aluminium-Pneumatic-Electric/dp/B071YKH7LW

but it only has 1 review and its bad

and its 6 inch

God I forgot how long it takes for ali sellers to ships stuff sometimes

Defeats the purpose of dhl shipping if it takes them 2 weeks to send it in the first place

I thought dhl is like lightning quick

I remember reading that someone in /r/fashionreps got their shit in less than 24 after ordering with dhl

from taobao iirc?

doesnt matter if its lighting quick if the seller hasnt dispatched it lol

tru

After 2021, all goods bought online by EU consumers from sellers outside the EU will also be subject to VAT, in line with current EU sales practices. While there may be a decrease in sales from outside the EU as a result of a more level playing-field in this market segment, trustworthy sellers from outside the EU should welcome the measures since it brings certainty over final pricing to their EU customers. Currently, a significant number of parcels are refused by consumers once they arrive in the EU as they are faced with additional VAT and clearance fees from postal or courier operators. 🇪🇺

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-16-3746_en.htm

rpi

Jack Ma please save us

i dont mind paying vat tbh

it's the service charge etc that they put on top lol

@bentech VAT on everything you order

if you get hit by vat/customs in the uk you normlaly gotta pay 8/11 pounds on top

11 if its a parcel

8 othrewise

means it's pointless buying small items

Swedes now pay €15 on everything

best solution is to just buy from taobao and get a giant package for everything'

NO NO NO NO

```The clearance of small consignments from trusted non-EU traders or marketplaces who register with the VAT One Stop Shop will be simplified in terms of customs procedures. Consignments valued up to €150 will no longer be stopped at customs for VAT clearance and VAT collection for these goods will be managed separately on a self-assessment basis. This marks an important change in the world of customs, moving from clearance per transaction to clearance on overall sales. However, the new VAT rules will in no way interfere with other customs rules and regulations concerning safety and security, nor with the existing customs simplification measures already in place.

```

so yeah your just gonna pay 20% prob

lol rip EU

@Jignx shut up

EU?

🇪🇺

suckers

reminder that free trade is good

until the merchants class is threatened

time to pull out of the EU

the uk had the right idea

brexit was justified

just wait for China to begin offering parcel aggregating services

to combine a fuckton of purchases together in the single box or parcel to save on VAT fees on import

This fucking PostNord thing... now I'm feeling pressured to buy the damn recurve bow I've been putting off for like a year.

PostNord, RIP

lol ok

i'll just buy everything i'll ever need before 2021

My ali order has a processing time of 24 days

Is this shit going to not be sent for a whole 24 days?

I'm moving houses soon an so ordered via dhl so it'd get here fast but idk when the seller is going to send the damn thing

If I cancel a processing order on ali do I get a refund?

>chink post going through kazakhstan and russia

wtf

I read that the processing time might be because of Chinese new year

I don't want to cancel and lose money though

Cancelling on Ali is a nightmare tbh

they take so long to give you your money back

plus the "dear friend why are you cancelling" PMs

I sent it to my current address because dhl and thought it would be here on time

So idk what to do because I'm moving in a couple weeks

yeah that's dodgy

I stop buying chink shit entirely a few weeks before I move

My partners phone shit the bed so i bought her a r5p via dhl to replace it

I've sent all other chinkshit to the new house

But sent the phone here because I thought it would get here fast

My last experience with dhl was a 2 day delivery

Surely you can inform DHL?

Just got my chinkshit portable induction stove

Now I will first buy a non chinkshit fire extinguisher and then cook something

Boiling 1 Liter or water takes 22 second from cold while draining 2100 W @ 240 V

WTF I love induction now

chinkshit induction stove 🤔

fuck i wnat a indcution stove tho

i got some pos electirc one

takes like 5 mins to heat up

i miss gas 😦

induction is pretty sweet , leave the stove top on without a pan , and leave

surpise your house hasnt burnt down

I'm probably getting two more and put them on top of my actual stove and just don't use it anymore

They are amazing. Also it was roughly 22 $ on 11.11 on taobao

It has a timer, keep warm and delayed start

Just had to add the seller on wechat to ask him to give me one with a EU socket

Now I have one with unearthed Schuko which is kinda weird for a stove

I'll just keep a fire extinguisher next to it <:alithink:327930371796893698>

wtfff
