nice to know even autists fall for memes when they don't even need to

what meme is that

its a generic 1*AA/14500/18650 zoomable that you see everywhere on ali, ebay and amazon

theyre like $3

This one?

no

<https://www.aliexpress.com/item/e/32693753747.html>

That's the one I see everywhere

well yeah, that flashlight you linked basically took over the flashlight i linked

No, thought i have one in my trash flashlight box

strangely enough

so now that's the "generic flashlight you see everywhere"

even I have one, pretty naice for the $4 or $6 i paid for it, but waiting for more usb-c flashlights to enter the market

Are there any decent anglehead / bent angle flashlights around?

Are TOPK usb cables aight?

yes

But they'll burst into flame and take your home down if you say TopK(ek)

TopK(ek)

Also, if anyone here doesn't know, fuck bidirectional cables

They either work in one direction, disconnect if you breathe on them, or don't work at all

How Many who have worked for? Worth taking?

6 months, charges, but poorly kept in the nest
Three months worked, and then перетерся plug micro-USB
3,5 months and bent plug, work fine and now even bent charging
I liked, order more 2
Do not take! Quality G.!!! Used to be good. AND now as lucky. There Is A marriage. Took 2 wires of different magnet and this, and both G!
Enough for half a year, initially shaky held, now flies out of the nest as Starling, although the charging function performed normally

which to pick

nvm the first one is for 2.5' only

Looks good, but I wonder if it'd have problems if I got it the 12 volts it needs from my PSU

No ground loop problems or anything, I hope

why do I find this funny

is it normal to charge new smartphone batteries for 8 hours? the dear friend from ali said the battery must be asleep but not to worry it will wake up if charged with a universal charger

but i do not see any charging progress when i plug it in?

you are being shitted on so much

yeah i really don't know about it

what do i do? they basically sent me a dead battery

the "initial 8 hour Charge" is usualy under the "smart calibration" where it runs feq quick-charge cycles the establish the max stat on the battery

but said smart calibration should do it every time its left to the wall

not just "first time when booting

yea i am just trying to charge this thing after putting it in for the first time and it does not charge at all

i have just been messaging the dear friend from ali, i haven't 'confirmed' my order yet

yeah if it does not charge at all then either its wired to shit, it does not regonize it or the hardware is locked so that only certain batteries are accepted

from quickly on top of my head

ofc the option that battery is just not working properly == shit

it is the same "model", but that might still not matter?

depends whats the problem on it

i'm willing to talk to this dear friend from ali a bit more before i do any refunding

or confirming

certain shitty vendors are known to whitelist their hardware, use drm chips on printer inks, etc etc

Hey, don't buy the Xiaomi repeater 2, they patched mi home so you can't even connect to unsecured networks

so if you're using it for drone stuff it's worthless

but yeah basicly that initial/mandatory charge time is from NiMH battery ero where the chemical structure can develop memory and other shit

i would be great with waiting for initial 8 hours of charge time if I actually knew it was charging

but yeah id rule it as broken if it does not show charging under the phone menu

or what ever device you are using

i can't even turn it on

it's as if no battery is in

did you wire it right :D

yea i just put the thing on in the same way as the old battery

i was able to put the old battery back and it worked fine (but i wanted to replace it)

(because it drained too fast)

what phone

/battery

xiaomi RN3P global, BM46

it has this weird thin flat wire that ended in some small pins

https://c.76.my/Malaysia/100-original-internal-battery-bm46-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro-hongmi-enjoys-1712-02-enjoys@22.jpg

like this, but it snaps into the board just fine

and it's not loose at all

sounds like dead battery or they have some chink-magic going on there and it needs initilisation or some shit somehow somwhere

yea i'm hoping on the chink magic

i will try all the hocus pocus dear ali friend tells me but if it doesnt work they can't blame me for wanting a refund

i mean at worst its housefire sooo

they are LiPo batteries so if they somehow managed to empty the battery completly and that safety chip did not do its work

then its dead for sure

>Hello, friend, please do not worry, the battery is good, but after a long period of transport, the battery goes to sleep, You can activate the battery with a universal charger. Then it works.

<:blobconfounded:427568418107949090>

if its li-ion with proper protective circuits sure it can go to "sleep" (security shutdown to prevent over discharge)

yea but i don't see the charging progress bar, isn't that kinda a thing you should see when you plug it in

but that usualy means they wont wake up ever again

he says "try charging for 8 hours" lol

but it's not shown to be charging

i'll do it anyway and after 8 hours if it still doesn't work he has no excuse

and taking that leap of faith to try ressurect "sleeping" li-ion would need booster function on battery charger/analyzer to have chance to wake it up from sub 2.9v state

yea and i doubt a universal charger has that 2.9 v thing

basicly the analyzers trick the chip to "yes yes we fine here full charge mate" untill the charger has managed to charge it to operating levels

and ofc depending on opinions its not safe or healthy to operate any device you dont understand mechanics once the safety has tripped

and i don't have that booster function or analyze

i dunno if phone charging circuits have same function

some might

yeah it's okay, for now i'll just do what he said. i plug it in for 8 hours

but you wont know unless you research the circuit or ask xiaomi

just dont leave it alone for 8 hours

yea xiaomi isn't likely to tell me

smarter than me people who are engineers on the EE field can fix my shit if they see something out of place

this is pretty much from top of my head stuff from school and work years

yea well i have an electronics engineering degree and i'm not about to dissect this

i don't have equipment at home to even try to see what's wrong

based and EEpilled

try turning the phone off

and plugging the charger in

does it show the charging screen for a short amount of time?

or just stay off

it is off, can't actually be turned on

sometimes plugging it in 10-20 times for 10 seconds each works

oh

>does it show the charging screen for a short amount of time?
it actually does this but there is no progress

just an empty battery symbol

this is looking like a good candidate for a dispute/refund, but i really want a working battery

yeah try what i said

on some phones it has the effect of trickle charging, and after a while it allows the battery to start charging again

i did

no joy

Tomb Sweeper

@Frederica Bernkastel Happened to a few devices of mine, removing the battery and charging it independantly from the device worked

Voltage fell so low that the charging circuit didn't recognize the battery

Plugged in freshly charged, worked since

Usually a problem in cheap piece of crap tablets from a few years ago though, not new devices

Also, is the anon who bought an Orico HDD dock on this discord?

uuuh

@comfy ?

wait wrong one

@Comfy

Apparently there's a code for the Redmi Airdots being 20$ on gearbest

https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/06/10/buy-xiaomi-redmi-airdots-wireless-bluetooth-headset-for-just-19-99-from-gearbest-coupon/

@Cad but are they any good?

iirc no

qcy are better from what I've heard

>micro usb

into the trash

@Julian how so? soundwise?

i should honestly dip my toes in wireless chifi

i still have the ZS5 v1 with wireless cable

@Comfy has them and they're falling apart

Airdots

Anyone want to buy some drivers

`Gearbest is offering a wide selection of Xiaomi-branded items at lowered prices.` Hoping to score a Mi Band 3.

how good is qcy

Y'all ever buy ripoff figuarts or figmas?

The picture reviews seem to indicate they're ok

Like

They're OK

There's probably small painting quality and tint differences from the real ones

Some of them you can order without the box to save some money which is neat imo

because you're not gonna fool people with a fake box tbh

Well it's not really about the box

@Poss Boss there's a whole general for that on /toy/

Can be hit or miss, the more recent the release the better it is usually

It's about the a r t i c u l a t i o n

Same applies

Yeah I was just wondering if you guys ever ordered that stuff. Csg seems to order random shit for no reason

http://boards.4channel.org/toy/thread/7490704

starts off with bootleg ninja turts <:ninjaturt:499294145093959680>

other bootleg figures are discussed as well

I did

since I was (and still am) a student unwilling to drop $200 for a figurine of my waifu

so I got one for $40 that was decent quality

@TCxUFATIME what level of autism would drive you to get that that many audio drivers?

wasn't it a shipping error and instead of getting 1 a seller gave you 100

but how would you independently charge this battery with these super small pins

@Poss Boss i have a couple bootleg figmas, revoltechs, and bring arts

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two do the heads swap with official figmas?

Fuckin'. China.

>order metal toothpick crossbows

>wait 600 days

>plastic toothpick crossbows arrive

>confusion

Toothpick crossbows?

you must be new here if you don't know toothpick crossbows

Are they fun ?

where do i obtain such weapons of mass destruction?

ebay probs

@foxhunt No, I'm extremely underwhelmed. I expected them to at least attempt to penetrate all the thousands of cardboard boxes I have littering my home.

All they do is bounce off.

gotta get the aftermarket springsteel

>vendor agrees to send me another battery

well let's see how that goes!

Reported for illegally modifying a fire arm

i actually bought two from a local knockoff of ali

and one immediately broke

it was about $5 each tho so whatever

https://youtu.be/koF5eugNGBg

neat

but knowing coolermaster they'll be overpriced

chinks when

mechanical?

ya there's only like 2-3 slim chink mechanical keebs

and only one type of keycap in black and white

Why tho

@Poss Boss yes they swap, although the official head on the bootleg body is a bit loose, and the opposite is a bit tight (serval is official and jalter is booleg)

🤔 smug 256

is that starscream in the background?

No that's a keyboard

Love the design on those micro SD cards, but nothing mentioned about speed of those cards..

Reminds of of the good ol' shark micro SD cards.

Are they still a thing any more? People still meme about them?

micro sd cards are cheap

most csg ones have been DOA

consider your use case sure but go for something reputable for like music/photos

the shark cards are fine, plenty of anons have them, but the old /csg/ appeal of them (besides the shark) was the price, but that no longer applies

so just buy normal sd cards

Putin card came currupt

There's a joke there, but I'm *not sure what it is*.

tfw thought sharks were a meme back then

<:mixza_shark:230982717200793600>

How could you disrespect sharks like that.

@Hiruzen thats stormcloud and i have him half transformed so he looks like a flamingo

Tfw Samsung only for SD cards

I use my SanDisk ones as video bins because they are trash

Amazon is pretty good for micro sd or ssd

Yeah no need to buy Chinese SD cards anymore

It's around the same rpoce for Samsung and sadisk own

Samsung 128 GB is 20
