checks out

I'm at the xiaomi shop what do i buy

look around the store?

there's a giant mitu plush right in the picture

There's nothing to buy

@Jignx steal the mitu plush

It's not for sale

@Jignx in what country is that?

Singapore

buy the xiaomi plushie

I need a phone for taking pictures during mountain trekking

pooloo f1 or redmi note 5 pro

Poco

You must be joking if you think the note 5 Pro has a good camera

pooloo maybe toi much I'm quite poor

*too

For the price you pay you don't need a new phone for years

or maybe they release new better 7nm pooloo next year

any other choices, good camera but medium process or at note 5 price?

None

Buy a real Dslr

ordered a pocomeme f1 about 10 days ago from xiaomi online store on aliexpress, got a message telling me that they're all out of stock now, after 10 days gg

64 gb or 128?

>dslr

>Mountain hiking

>tropical forest

64

black

note 5 camera isnt bad on daytime

^can I have source?

need to read more about this stuff

dear god thats horrible name

fixed it a litle

enjoy your new name @Deleted User

just google tech tablets note 5

me and some other anons have it as well

thanks will take a look

is it worth paying extra for the 4g ram

@Tervy well now I really want to know what the name was

no

ram meme

chink phones generally have a shit camera

if you really care about camera in phones just get a last gen apple or samsung

or google pixel

they blow even the best current chinkphones away

pixel or note tbh

even Apple can't touch this

huawei p20

yeah huawei's got good cameras

@gecho just so you know there is no official Xiaomi store on AliExpress

They're all resellers

yup

ik

that's just the name of the store

You EU?

ye

Then I think you can buy Poco locally already with some looking

@gecho Huawei is terrible software though, I'd rather have MIUI

lmao

can't deny that they have good cameras tho

true

I just dismiss Huawei because of their software automatically

so I didn't even think of them

but how does the camera matter?
is it that noticable if i use it for facebook pictures
or just scenery pictures?
i would take pictures mostly daytime till dusk

at night i guess i would only take pictures of stars

@Deleted User Redmi Note 5 has a pretty good camera actually

the biggest difference between a shit camera and a good one is low light level shots

^

I find that you can really tell a good camera from a bad one when you take a picture of grass lol

a bad camera (especially with bad post processing) will just capture a mushy green slab

pictures of stars is actually hard to do on a shitty camera.

dont expect to take pictures of stars with a budget phone camera lol

especially handheld

Skip to 3:14 for pictures

If you care about the camera just get a dslr

No need for a DSLR if you have a comparable camera in your pocket

Phone cameras are not comparable to a DSLR

But they're far far more portable, so yeah.

why not get a compact camera

I'm leaning heavily towards the RX100 VI

(if I had the option of dropping 1k USD on a camera)

Why have 1 good thing when you can have several shit ones?

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

I am sure you will get better quality out of a $400 phone than $200 camera + $200 phone

but if he has phone already

then its 400 dollar camera only

+ existing phone

silly comparisons are silly

Might as well upgrade it and sell the old one

$400 phone good cam

plz rec

Xiaomeme

aww shit CM1 aint yet that cheap

panasonic CM1 would have been legit answer tho

tho most of their shit is faulty and does not work that well on some towers

:D

😅

there is Kodak Ektra ofc (and IM5??)

it works

Rx100 is a dslr

SONY RX100 is far from DSLR

but indeed it has good specs

Friendo bought FujiFilm X100S for like 450$

But that ain't DSLR either

What about a cold war era camera

Eh it prob has equivliwnt quality to most aps c dslrs though

I'm getting new Ricoh GR

my RX100 broke

rip

then unbreak it

it's a common issue for the lens to get stuck

if you own an old one

Don't you have a warranty or something

i bought it years ago

warranty already expired

the RX100 is an old camera

@GRUMPYGAMER take it to <#189467888657235970>

anyone else waiting on their Xiaomi wiha from banggood?

i heard that xiaomi just regionlocked the bootloader unlock

what do

make sure to get the global version

@Kimichiboi me

didn't pay for tracking so who fucking knows when it'll arrive

also bought the Xiaomi wiha magnetic screw pad

expected delivery is 18th nov

but that's the deadline

any of you have yeelight bulbs? are they botnet?

yes

You should assume all chink IoT is botnet.

I have one bulb, scheduled to turn on once a day

It surprisingly only makes two network connections to China a day.

I know a couple of features are disabled if you choose an Euro server for GDPR reasons.

But nothing big afaik

and how does it even work? i see it creates a hotspot, do i have to connect to that every time i want to change the settings?

Only the first time to pair with your app and account.

Any device with the yeelight app and your account will be able to change the settings

Even if not at home.

i see, thanks

i might get one, would be cool to have a light turn on with my alarm

That's what mine is for

a much much cheaper Philips wake up light

with more customization

If you're afraid of the botnet, well you gotta take the same measures you would for all IoT

blocking the chink ips on my network?

i just avoid iot shit as much as possible

seems like the easiest way

wtf

Yeah that's all I'd use it for if I got one, seems like a sick wakeup light

Like a bulb that goes yellow as the sun sets and turns white as the sun rises to help me wake up

i just have a lamp on a timer that blasts me in the face every morning

🤔

thats smart

cause light > sound

strap airhorn to it

then you have best of the both worlds

(and your neighbors too)

im on phone and willing to spend money

are there some good christmas cards

maybe 3D ones that you open

and cheap too

tfw almost everything I'm looking up is approaching the same price for prime shipping on Amazon

Is the days of AliExpress being worth a shit numbered

I guess you can't really get stuff like custom size costumes on Amazon yet tho

Exposure to normies is doing this

Anyone know how Xiaome/Roborock robot vacuums compare to other brands? Are they worth getting over them, or just cheaper?

if they worked in China they would work fine in the U.S

They work fine https://youtu.be/Gs48LtyMuBg

<:kms:327934280619655179> This should be between king and queen sized. Disputed on Ali and Ali offered half refund or full refund and I pay return shipping. What do?

Ali or the seller?

Ali. I messaged seller first with that picture saying it's smaller than I ordered, and he said "hi friend, the Aliexpress will handle it "

Looks like you'll have to eat the half refund because shiping it back is going to be well over 20 bucks.

No recourse?

Generally once ali itself says fuck you there is no recourse.

Maybe you can try to chargeback with paypal but thats a long ordeal.

Had it on a Discover card, so that bit is painless at least.

Just worried they'll ban my account or something.

I'm hoping they wouldn't over one issue, at something like 200 orders since March

Oh before you start the process, did they list the actual size anywhere?

Yeah, size in cm with a 3-5 margin of error, and 240x230cm arrived at 140x70cm

Might want to screenshot that because I would not put it past them to edit it and dispute it.

It lists it as the Properties: box that you select when ordering, and on the dispute

Hand Chunky Knitted Blanket Large Soft Warm Winter Bed Sofa Blanket Thick Yarn Merino Wool Bulky Knitting Blanket Home textile
Properties: C + 240x230cm

What did they mean by this?

You deserve to pay 50 dollars for memes

This is why it got recommend to you

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

You aint gonna win botnet

Not today

How do I make mobile links not mobile :)

For aliexpress

change m.aliexpress.com/item/blablabla.html to aliexpress.com/item/dear-jack-ma-please-give-me-desktop-website/blablabla.html

Everyone should just use app, problem solved

Aka open in mobile browser

@Millwood plz kys

No u

trying to run forkknife on the redmi note 5

not having much luck tbh

and it shows with all the pajeets losing their damn mind

ok guys i just fell for the xiaomeme

do i need to get the mitu plushie for autism points

Yes

https://www.hashtagcollectibles.com/products/pepe-the-frog

where can i get this

is there a custom chink service where they clone this

got it working

woohoo

default dance for days mang

should i flash lineageOS onto my xiaomeme

how is the experience

My friend just buy Google pixel for real stock experience

Think of the time you'd safe

Save

Only 24 low monthly payments of 30$ dear

why buy pixel when you can buy

@Deleted User just werks for me

but A/B partitioned phones may require some out-of-the-box patching techniques

what model xiaomeme are you using?

redmeme note 5

pro or regular

LOS official site only has the pro version

on the box they don't say if it's pro or not pro

that again, you'll probably manage well enough with an unofficial version of LOS, since the LOS dev team only makes official releases for ultra meme phones

i have the global version at least

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/whyred

should work

go ahead and install it

make sure you take a NAND backup first in case a fuckup occurs

is there any difference between the 4gb of ram and 3gb?

?

what do you mean

i have the one with 3gb ram + 32gb

but the one with 4gb + 64gb cost 20% more

yeah that's the regular non-pro redmi note 5

difference is purely aesthetic if I'm reading it correctly, besides the additional 1GB ram, 32GB of storage and 20 MP camera
