Paid trip somewhere nice to try out their new phone and you get to keep it

yo i was wondering if you guys would recommend me something

i'll be getting a tablet for my mothers birthday

anything chink good?

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

what kind of tablet

Mi pad 4 fren

dunno

the kind that she can use to browse the web, watch videos and use skype probably

mi pad 4 looks good

should i get it from honorbuy? i see they got a eu warehouse

are there any good chink controllers or should I just buy some xbox shit?

check 8bitdo

if thats your thing

thanks

8bitdo or just xbox one controller

i prefer one controller (mostly due its instant support to anything)

and they are relatively easy to diy-repair

yea im just gonna buy an xbox one controller
can I use it with a cable? i dont wanna use a bluetooth dongle

yes

just grap your 2-3m ugreen micro usb cable and have at it :P

thats how i play with it mostly

>Xbox one
Are you a handlet?

mi pad or the cheapest ipad

i'd go with the latter tbh

@gt more like qt 😄

Should I

@androidcrawler that's the nicest thing somebody has ever said to me both on discord and irl

Is this the beginning of a bromance?

@gt that's kinda depressing, what about your family

idk about you but my family hasn't called me cute since i was... 2?

idk about you but this isn't <#189466684938125312> related

aliexpress sellers were kind to me tho

now this is <#189466684938125312>, get fucked

no need to be rude, take the loveydovey talk with @androidcrawler into DMs or <#531212403858472967>

can't even shitpost for two sentences on csg, this is so sad

dw tho this conversation ends here

wow mods sure are unfair around here, even jokingly copied the first half of your sentence

@gt you wanna smash

what

who

@androidcrawler go to off-topic lol

@Magnius i'd go ahead

alright

I only disputed once before

With basically the same effect

Why are they so scared of disputes?

@Magnius they are because it can ruin their store and standing on AliExpress

If you contact them they'll actually do a lot to help you out

Huh cool, I'll keep that in mind

Ali terminates sellers below a certain score

I remember when that one guy got flowers instead of a CPU, people wanted to buy some 0.02 $ item from the same seller to dispute the shit out of him

Downrating a seller seriously causes them harm, and it's good that way. Otherwise they would have no incentive to deliver anything

also, they are bitching on a very high level compared to what autistic level of buyer's protection, warranty and no-questions-asked return policies most online-shops in the rest of the world offer

@timsandtoms GT4, 4x XHP70.2

bentech no

plz your wallet

its ok i can't afford it anyway

i need 16 core ryzen first 😦

So I wanted a torrentbox/NAS/Plex server

I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna run plex on my desktop pc cause of the specs it requires

anyone got a orangepi/bananapi NAS + torrentbox setup?

iirc orangepi has NAS expansionboard avaible to it as does other PIs too

so in theory somethign small as orange pi zero has those hats

that being said @bap orangepis as data-storage servers are low performance

you are better of even with something like refurb intel nuc

unless you need some super low budget but even a used old phone will probably perform better

i mean things like raspvi zero W make handy NAS setups as they take barely more than size of the HDD

aka "altoids tin nas"

speaking of which (they are on sale for 5 usd on microcenter for you americunts)

You mean its slow cause of USB2?

and yeah I dont want to put that much money into this

FYI, you can now post `s.click` links from mobile even if there's the danger that they might be ref links. The bot will delete them automatically and replace them with good links

good piggy bot

(this will fail if you post a wall of text of >900 chars with your message, because of embed limitations)

its getting new superpowers by the day

@bap get an ornage pi PC 2

1GB RAM + GbEthernet

3x USB 2.0 connected to CPU (not shared like rpi)

if you want usb 3.0 get the new opi 3 https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/01/19/orange-pi-3-allwinner-h6-sbc/

but armbian doesn't support it yet

get a JMS578 based USB->sata adapter

I have the original orange pi PC as a NAS and just bought the PC2 to upgrade to GbE

original works fine if you can stand 100mbit

>Allwinner

http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort

the h3 and h5 work fine

for a NAS

nanopi make a nas dock kit but it's expensive https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=222

+ nanopi neo 2

+ $20 shipping

the hw video encoder in the h5 isn't supported yet but should be in next kernel release

@Magnets Heat is also an issue

Mine was dropping cores because of it

@Magnius which board?

the nanopi?

opi pc

the smaller boards get hotter

are you running armbian?

the stock OS overvolts the CPU IIRC

you need armbian

Had the same happen with armbian

Right now it's working as a dust collector

how long ago did you test it?

i've had my opipc running for 2 years

temps don't go above 35 degrees

Must've been 3 or 4 years ago

it runs 15-20 above ambient

you can downclock the processor, use conservative governor

it only gets hot if you peg the CPU

my pc2 seems to throttle at around 67 degrees, down to 1ghz

orange pi 3 looks good

probably best to wait a couple of weeks for the reviews

you can't order from china anway right now

It's on aliexpress

but chinese new year

the seller looks trustworthy, though it has 312 orders and only 1 review

they only just released it a week ago

the seller is the manufacturer

Oh I see

I'll definitely wait for more review then

the orange pi 3 looks great but it just depends on how well the software works

there's almost no support for h6 in mainline kernel

Is huawei shit anyway?

not as good as Xiaomi

Botnet too

And much more locked down

Can't install custom ROMs etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-HiBguZiaA

neat

is we knife chink?

never heard of them tbh

cut your fucking nails old man holy shit

they're Chinese but I think the lead designers or management are not chinese

Hello guys

Obligatory "I wouldn't mind riding that"

i ended up ordering 2 rgb lamps 3 euro each

Chinkshit truly is an enigma

How many days should I wait for an eBay seller to ship before messaging him to ask waddup

It's been 3 days and the chink still hasn't shipped

>over weekend... Plz

O right

Forgot it was weekend lmao

tfw no 120mm fan that plays blu-rays

mine only plays HDDVDs 😦

@tzatzikiweeb Couple business days after however long they listed it would take to ship.

? what do

dispute for not in stock and get your money back

doesn't cancelling the order already give him his money back? is a dispute really necessary?

i meant cancel

not dispute

i never bother asking sellers anything

they will just give canned response

it's either a dropshipper, who won't have any idea where your item is

or it's chinese new year and they won't ship until 15th feb

any decent tablets at the sub $200 price point?

mi pad 4

should I order a modded GBA from aliexpress?

do you want a modded GBA from aliexpress?

a little yes

I always wanted a modded screen GBA

to keep for prosperity's sake

but is it a legit gba

at 100$ that's pretty pricy

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Professionally-refurbished-For-Game-Boy-For-GBA-Console-With-AGS-101-Backlight-Backlit-LCD-Mod-Console/313999_32853083564.html

it's a GBA with a AGS-101 screen

there's an SP for 30$ here

but

fuck

og gbas start from 50$

yeah

but this one is modded with backlight

the backlight screens for the GBA are notoriously hard to source

in the end the price will end just about the same anyways

under a 1 star review

90 bucks tho

jeez

i have OG gba..

lol

cmon ping-pong

wow

even more racist than csg

from what I am seeing online, kits for making a GBA backlit are like 50-70USD. So even if you get a GBA on a decent deal, you will manage to save very little over the 95 of that one. Then you have to install the kit yourself. So the 95 isn't bad if you really want one. Had no idea the kits were so expensive.

just getting gameboy SP for same money

at that price point you may get a 3ds, hack it and play gba roms natively

good point

I already hacked my 3DS though

when is chinese new year

nvm feb 5

hopefully the chink ships by then

some sellers have already stopped shipping, others are still shipping

do chinkos stop working during their new year? i thought they were hard workers

but actually they are lazy bastards just like everyone else i am very disappointed

I keep getting emails about sellers leaving feedback for me on Ali. How do I actually view that?

go to orders page

manage feedback on the left menu

view my feedback profile top right

actually wait no that's buyer feedback

sec

https://feedback.aliexpress.com/management/feedbackBuyerList.htm

order received

order paid

seller left feedback

thank you for confirming order received

please leave feedback for item

----------

literally every $0.1 item I get 5-6 emails

Best iPhone USB cable?

ugreen/orico

^

Thanks

Y'all know a good case I can find on Ali for this meter? Better meter for scale.

try searchterm "trash bin"

should help you to find fitting one

I only give a shit because it has Bluetooth, and I figure there's a chance that might be handy at least once.

Otherwise I'd stick with the Flukes.

smol

Plus MUHFLASHLIGHTS

I think your best bet is figuring out the most popular item of similar size

and then searching aliexpress for "[item name] pouch"

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Personal-Vaporizer-Holder-Keychain-Carry-Pouch-Flannelette-ecig-electronic-cigarette-Carrying-Bag-for-mod-box/32811610797.html maybe something like this?

nvm looks way too small

whats the size of that thing?

3"x5"x2" or so

Plus leads

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-pcs-bag-mavic-2-drone-body-Battery-Remote-Control-Fiber-skin-PU-Waterproof-case-Hard/32956035708.html

Size: 17.5x10x6.5cm Weight: 82g

for the medium sized one

That sounds about perfect, thanks

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WIWU-Portable-Hard-Drive-Case-Water-resistance-Nylon-Storage-Box-Carrying-Case-Power-Bank-Headphone-USB/32898420489.html or this in the smallest size

nvm out of stock

Gonna poke around the related/recommended stuff a bit first and pick one up

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Shockproof-Waterproof-Portable-Storage-Carry-Case-Bag-for-GoPro-HD-Hero-3-2-4-1/32630852727.html also this

Well, other connector finally failed, wire melted through the plastic. Might hafta actually get around to installing everything properly.

nice hands buddy

@MargosArmen Baseus makes better iphone cables

I have no basis for this statement other than the fact that it looks a lot cooler than ugreen/orico cables

Don't you mean

No baseus for that statement?

Boo

Cooling looking cable = Better product

Alright, at least we know who to not take advice from

<:turt:443131018950606878>

I wish all my ugreen cables were as thicc as the 50cm one i got by mistake once

Hmm

Is this a free upgrade or is he just trying to upsell you while he holds your package hostage
