Yes

Apple makes their money on hardware sales, not selling user data, so they guard that user data extremely jealously

I did a "request your data" thing for Apple recently, literally 600KB of data total

what tells jack shit what they actualy keep

reason it's so small: all the telemetrics gets anonymized before it gets to their servers

only what they let you know they are keeping

I mean, they did tell the US government to eat a dick when the FBI wanted to get into that iPhone

air drying is better tbh just have your machine do a spin to squeeze most of the water out and then hang them to dry on your hangers

@Stormscape mere theatrics

the fbi could already get into the phone, it was mostly about making breaking into your phone more socially acceptable

Well it was a pretty big fail if that was the goal

I agree with Mongolian

Always do extra spin and hang clothes

I have an old dryer that was in appartment when I moved in but never use it

hey chinkos, can any of you tell me, how to filter items, which are shipped overseas?

Wish shipping center in charge of ruining chinese shopping for everyone else

that was on 11.11

AliExpress shipping looks the same

11.11 on ali is a plain scam

if you dont know where to look and fall for the deals they "advertise", yes

i got bluedio on sale so all good <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@Tribit How many people do you think are buying fake iPhone thinking it's the real thing?

Soulja boy iPhone?

Just read about the console he bought in bulk from Aliexpress and resold https://www.cnet.com/news/soulja-boy-now-sells-his-own-sketchy-video-game-consoles/

SouijaPhone

@Alfadir oh I'm aware

like, the fucking confidence on this nigga

moron

Nigger selling chink shit

the real hustle

I'm not having any luck finding this on Ali. Any of you guys know what or where I should search for a replacement SATA thing?

shouldn't be sticking ssd's up your ass, pal

That's about all it's good for until I fix the plug

@timsandtoms is it warrantied? Maybe the manufacturer will replace the SSD or recover your data, or both

Nah, it's old. But it's free if I can fix it, and 120GB is big enough to throw a couple of games on for fast load times.

Only free if your time is worthless, fren

...it's one connector

It takes like two minutes

And how long have you spent looking for the connector? Punk ass 😏

I mean... I mostly do it while staring at game loading screens. Which I'd eliminate with a faster drive.

It might be drive specific so good luck lmao

@Matthew yeah, because there's the drive controller and whatnot

Is the data important?

Nah, just my dad's Windows and WoW install

Have you considered burning it out clean and laying a new connection line?

I have not, wouldn't know how to.

Clean out the wrecked part with a knife or maybe a pointy solder iron depending on how much of a savage you are

Lay a new line with some silver cord or demanteled cable

And fry your pc in progress

Just scrap that drive

Is it that risky? What about if I put it in a toaster?

that the power side. just hard wire it

What's all the hype with YeeLights?

home automation

with stuff like IFTTT and such

also their price:performance ration is decent

and as far as i know they dont need to call home like shitty stuff competitors have (aka LAN-control)

(somebody correct me on that one if im wrong)

eh

you need to jump through a few hoops to get lan control

You gotta be real stupid to fry your Pc with a data port tbh.

@timsandtoms search for sata backplane

for some reason they use that a lot

Even with LAN control they phone home

yeah that's why i said some hoops to jump through

by what i mean the thing works even if you have the app firewalled

but yeah i dont own those so i cant say for sure

Yes that works.

But for some reason, if you have it turn on with a schedule (made with the yeelight app), it may fail to turn on if firewalled

So yeah you lose some functionality

Though if you have LAN control, you can just do all that with a cron

Just saying to get ready for it

Thanks lads. I had a GE set of bulbs that would only work by phoning home. Servers went down many times and i wouldn't be able to turn the lights on. Many such cases.

That sounds fucking awful

My yeelights are coming on Friday, will report on if they suck

you might be able to find cheaper

unless you have a hot air station I doubt you will be able to remove the old one

Wow, I'm surprised you were able to find that

Chinkshit truly is magical

those aren't the same

his appears to have the 4 extra pins

and are also different plastic shape

can someone give me the quick rundown on chink external SSDs? i don't feel like paying the samsung premium

just buy a western ssd and an enclosure, ssds are getting cheaper now

almost $100/tb

do you want a tierlist or something

i'm looking to run a distro on it

can't you just use a usb 3.0 flashdrive

can't you achieve better speeds with an external ssd?

i think in any case you're limited by whatever you're connected by

so just usb 3

doesn't usb 3 top out at like 5 gbps?

it seems like the type of storage would be the limiting factor

o ya

then i guess you should get an ssd if you want fast

@Stims 5 gbps = 625MB/s

that's below most SSDs sequential read speeds

fucking bits and bytes

well 3.1 supports 10 gbps

so 1250

yes but then you need an enclosure that supports that

and ports on your pc

don't buy chink SSDs

decent brands are the same price now that 3d nand went on sale

adata SU650 is like £17 for 120GB and £30 for 240GB

it's cheaper than USB flash

Crucial 1TB for 120€

I used SD/micro SD/USB flash (samsung) and they all wear out

just don't buy cheap flash memory when SSDs are so cheap

https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/120GB+ADATA+Ultimate+SU650+Solid+State+Drive+%2F+SSD+?productId=68537

£17.50

yep and crucial mx500 are on sale recently

get a usb3->sata enclosure for $5 on ali

@Stims ^^

this

adata su650

@Neh <#189467888657235970>

Ard capn

my samsung 128GB memory stick used to be 150MB/sec read and 100MB/sec write

after 2 years it now does 120MB read and 21MB write

that's after formatting it again

sadly 3D shit is fragile as fuck too

how so

It can handle temperatures that well without degradation feom what i have heard

But yeah not everyday problems

Cant tho say was it controllera fault or actual memory parts fault

Reason probly why stuff like samsung 970 uses heatspreaders on their m.2

And some company iirc even sold thermal pads for m.2s

Guess you don't need them for the SATA M.2? Only NVMe?

i need a DVD-RW thats SATA and isnt a piece of shit that will swallow my dual layers

any chink brands or just buy legit

i dont care for blu ray

@timsandtoms my nitecore tup finally shipped lol

Meanwhile packages are being delayed like mad in Canada.

So much chinkshit built up in customs thanks to our post offices striking

Alas, mine hasn't shipped yet.

If anyone can find a solution for a 3.5mm audio passthrough with remote that can allow us to control the Logitech x530 without manual control or shit TV menus

Cheers

ree

hey i have that mouse

had

theres a chinese mouse floating around that looks like it copies the intellimouse shape and uses a decent sensor but there are basically no reviews of it

its really expensive on amazon us for some reason

<https://www.amazon.co.uk/Instago-Ergonomic-Buttons-Adjustable-MG10/dp/B07GZLLY18>

```anyways, inside it has removable weight and has red kailh switches which are the 60mil ones , also according to my research results it has 3327 with 220ips which means wont spin out ... the downside however are stiff clicks due to shell design, front side button cant be mapped , Lod is 2mm(isnt too bad) but at 9$ its a record breaker, not sure if they will restock```

oh wait this is the intellimouse

<https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Lift-Off-Distance-Programmable-Competitive/dp/B07FSDBX1Y/>

3325 isnt that good

lower tracking speed than a 3310 supposedly

or lower spin out speed rather

its like $20

yeah but a g102 is like $30 and is way better

I found a place in my local Chinatown (in Birmingham, UK) that will order from taobao for a 10% fee, is there anything really cool that can only be bought from taobao? I like 5th/6th gen console modifications, and cool computer shit

gee billy why does logitech have all the cool sensors

'cos Logitech actually puts a bit of money into R 'n D

other than fashion there are niche audio products

i have this in my ytaopal cart

<https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=569438860682>

niche audio shit is cool
