female(male)

almost forgot about opening my screwdirvers 😃

the screwdriver set looks and feels really good

but theyre a known meme by now arent they

the wiha?

yea

well theyre wiha in name alone

but still i only bought cause it did have the name

I bought this kek

like em?

They do the job

shit screwdrivers make me hate life

i normally perfer buying seperate screwdriver than using bit sets

but the xiaomi/wiha one isnt bad

and its rly compact compared to having 10 screwdrivers layin around

that you keep losing

yea and much cheaper too

+ its just for precision stuff like small electronics

they dont need to be super sturdy

firmware interface of the mini router

you can use it as a wifi repeater which is extra cool

that means it has 2 wireless interfaces, i think

cause you need one to connect to the wifi you want to repeat and the other to make a hotspot

I have those screwdrivers

they blow

mainly because the screwdriver itself is slippery

The Xiaomi ones?

no i think the 2 dollar ones

Also I still don't know why I own a blf tt

Gt

Even the s8 has pipes bentech

Also Samsung phones are the supreme gaming devices <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

a bunch of shit i ordered has been arriving

most of it is decent

what did you order

@Liam I use those screwdrivers, they're decent, but one of my security bits got bent to fuck

i got that screwdriver too

They're fine for working on phones and circuitboards.

the case is shit so i pulled all the bits out and just keep em in a zip lock bag

Same.

i should probably put some rubber around the grip section since it slips ez

wow ali screwdrivers r cheap[

@HEKTIK Slipping = good. Prevents over torqueing.

not in australian weather lol

everything so humid and hot i cant grip it

if in unscrewing some bitch ass screw i dont care anyway

these look pretty cool

Got this Bluetooth speaker in the mail

A while back I was bitching about how the switches I ordered hadn't shipped out yet
apparently they had
aliexpress standard shipping just doesn't update.

pretty sure they're genuine, not bad at $0.20/switch

Nice! My brother just got a very noisy mechanical keyboard, wonder if something like that can help

oh this is pretty loud, but from what I understand a lot of it is based on the keycaps you use and what sort of dampening (if any) you add

friend has some cherry blacks+DSA royal navy keycaps that are really surprisingly quiet

these browns+varmilo cherry caps are pretty noisy

but they feel sooooo good

status: not chinked

my driving teacher told me i got these doogee, really nice phon

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

Wish Doogee phones worked on TMO 4g

all the chink phones I see are incompatible with my network

lefteri gamo tin mana sou

anyone growing chink mint?

anyone ever harvested chink mint?

nope
I generally don't trust the chinese to ship living organisms, inert or not

Man

Blf q8

Get one it's great

Been playing with mine again and its more practical than the GT and stil fun

Gl-inet make nice mini routers line the nexx one

They run openwrt out of the box

should i buy mi a1 ? my mom needs a phone that lasts

one plus one died

no

idk

budget?

Suggest a chink wifi extender

a cable <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

my friend cat 6 does 100m

wifi does less

<:angery:423058200661590017>

@bentech like mi a1 price

i mean it doesnt have to be the ultimate long lasting phone

but i dont want it to be outdated in a year or two

thers also honor 7x if you want to buy locally

cant think of anythin gelse

for instance her opo is dead only now

dont think honors common in netherlands let me see

its huawei

oh yeah i remember now its expensive

280 euros

is this the same as the luc-s?

weird

gearbest.com/pocket-knives-and-folding-knives/pp_630545.html?wid=76

itrs 200gbp in uk lol

well 50gbp more than mi a1

but that's just VAT

seems there is only 1 website that sells it lul

what do you think about mi a1 @bentech ?

its good

i would think with stock android it would last

i oiwn one

no issues as well

i cant think of any ocmplaints

its about a yearo ld now

so youll only get another year of updates to p

and a year of security after that

guess that's good

idk it just feels lsow

slow

id prob get a redmi note 5 instead

tbh

does it have same specs as redmi note 4x?

smalelr battery

3000 vs 4000

i still get 5-6 hours sot though

yeah thing is, we were waiting on that but the oneplus one died suddenly lol

i got a redmi 4, dont think its slow

if redmi note 5 global comes next months, plus shipping, it will take a long time

I got Mi Max, I want a smaller phone:|

@Alfadir Mi Max 2

what

@emre shipping won't take long with DHL

they're the same size?

@bentech I'm joking @Alfadir

oh lol

i thought yhou were gettin it confused with the mix

i do it alot

@emre Redmi Note 5 Global comes out next month, the Chinese Redmi Note 5 can be bought now. You just need to make sure it works with your country network bands.

I want global rom though @Tribit (without flashing manually)

Hehe, @Tribit I did look at Mi Mix 2s, it's a little bit smaller. Not that much

@emre Get it from IBuyGou and it'll come with the Global rom

I bought the Chinese Note 4x before Note 4 Global was a thing

is the only difference the band though?

Came with MIUI global and it updates perfectly

@emre yes

It's the same phone only difference are the bands

i remember i waited for the mi 5x global version because you said global wasnt available

was that because the rom wasnt available, so it shipping with chinese?

@Alfadir its quite a bit smaller

@emre Redmi Note 5 already has a global rom available

@bentech wrong comparison

Those are Redmi 4 and 5

https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Xiaomi-Mi-Mix-2s,Xiaomi-Mi-Max-2/phones/10835,10541

And you should leave the Note 5 Pro out of it since that's a India only phone

ye i forgot you had to refresh to update url

Everywhere else it's the Redmi Note 5

@emre https://www.ibuygou.com/p-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-4g-phablet-snapdragon-652-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-11044.html

Might need to check the bands though

she uses simpel

But they're listed in the description you just need to check if that works with your country

Idk what bands simpel uses

id stay on the safe side and get somethin that has b20

https://www.frequencycheck.com/carriers/t-mobile-netherlands

doesnt look like b20 matters

@bentech he is on the safe side

It has b20

@emre try willmyphonework

only note 5 and note 5a is listed there fam @Tribit

@emre well that's what it is

Redmi Note 5

sorry, note 5a and 5a prime

Oh

They need to update their site then

Is there a cheap and modern(ish) flip phone that exists? I know about the Japanese Sharp phones but they are really expensive. Cheapest I could find was around £250

I've been looking for one myself, the Sharp ones were the cheapest I could find

I really can't figure out why they are so expensive. Apart from maybe import taxes.

small demand

so, in turn, small supply

=expensive to make

that would be my guess, at least

Makes sense but I've heard that they're quite popular in China and Japan.

@Greytide samsung?

As long as they support 3G or 4G I'll be fine.

All CDMA towers were shut down in Canada iirc.

you can deff get them

@Greytide https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Folder-2-G1650-Dual-Sim-16GB-Smartphone-Mobile-4G-LTE-Unlocked/172944845663?epid=20007834246&hash=item284450eb5f:m:mZbAZ3aKboyEnHq_0WBVQJw

this is gonna be your best bet

220

you can prob find it cheaper

that was just first listing

ye another for 200

That's actually quite good.

its fairly recent as well

came out last year

fuck i want one now

lol

only issue is the korean on the keypad

One thing I've noticed is that websites in Asia report lower prices.

http://androidlover.net/shn01

They report a price around £160

ye listings on ebay are from ireland though

you avoid VAT and shipping fees

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Folder-2-SM-G1650-3-8-16GB-Dual-SIM-Red-ZX/302698833812?epid=26017770840&hash=item467a41a794:g:OEoAAOSwSz1aysRx

200

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Folder-2-SM-G1650-3-8-16GB-Dual-SIM-Black-QG/263595219693?epid=3017779960&hash=item3d5f7fdaed:g:lnUAAOSwB7JaysRw

both from ireland

i doubt youll get done by customs if you do order one from china

Again, it's good value compared to other flip phones however overall it's pretty expensive, are there Asian sites that ship worldwide?

cant think of any

korean sites tend to be pretty closed off

theres one on ebay com from korea 200$ (140 GBP) like new

rly tempted lol

Last package for a little while. Need to buy more random fillers for surprise mail 🤗

Not sure how I feel about this style of wallet.

a wallet should be soft so you can sit on it...

who puts ther wallet in ther back pocket

me

where do you put it?????

front pocket

@LadyScrublord this looks nice, how many cards can you stuff into it?

i got way too many😥

This was discussed in the /csg/ thread when the wallet got posted. Back pocket is a total meme that makes zero sense. It also ruins people's spines from uneven disc alignment. Also why would you put something worth a lot BEHIND you to give access to pickpockets. Legit triggers me that people put wallet in back pocket

@b5c I see so many chicks with their phones in their back pockets these days.

Like, sticking out, being extremely easy to snatch.

Absolute retards.

obviously its not a serious issue. But it bothers me for some reason. I think because there almost is this air of like "what you DONT keep your wallet in back pocket. Pfft who does that. EVERYONE knows youre supposed to put it in the back pocket". Like its some sort of gay "Man-Code" that you must follow. I did the requisite cursory google search and found that basically its a thing because its "easy to reach your back pocket"

motherfucker....its easy to reach my front pocket too and that doesnt mis-align my spine or leave me vulnerable to pickpocketing

Well, you're vulnerable to pick pocketing regardless. The degree varies is all.

i cant think of anyone i know that puts ther wallet in the back pocket

@BIRDzone I have 10 cards in it right now. 😃 I don't know how much it'll fit - the elastic can still stretch some more. I don't know how well it'll hold up, though.

I keep my wallet in the front pocket.

I think I have around 10 too. can this wallet hold coins at all btw?

Nope. It's just 2 plates, elastic, and a clip. I'm not sure there's any in this style that has a coin pocket

ah dang. oh well might get it just as a thing to keep cards in 😊

the wallet I have right now can't even close properly

i just keep coins in my pocket

and end up losing them
