Yes!

fucking hell, imma order a few of these

thanks for posting it

👌

S.clicks are tracking links tho what come from mobile app and resolve to star.aliex.plaa?redirect:<trueurl> while dropping 2 cookies. Where as m.aliex.plaa are mobile links @Windatica

@Windatica Bot cleaned it just in case they *are* referrals

@Tribit is bae for knockoff cube monsters

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

Just bought one of each color. They're so cute

i did too

Let's fuck each other

<:crotch_grab:589212926066556929>

<:gachigasm:592062549181202459>

grip me with those huge hands

also considering ``` X-Application-Context: affiliateclick:prod,us:7001 ``` is in first header you get when you follow S.Click urls tells the story on its own what type links they are

Who profits on those links if theirs referrals?

that we can only quess (or dare to ask alibaba for data?)

i mean it could be person whos link you have opened within few days to months whos "referal" code is still in your apps cache

I'm quessing it don't mean shit

or it could be referal what was active when you installed app

or it could mean shit

indeed

but thing is those s.clicks act like referals, look like referals and smell like referals then they most likely can be or are referals

*why risk it?*

on top of that the star link (from one of aboce s.click links) is ``` https://star.aliexpress.com/share/share.htm?redirectUrl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.aliexpress.com%252Fitem%252F32744767076%252F32744767076.html%253Fmb%253DObVJ0BK4RvDG1zQ%2526srcSns%253DCopy%252520to%252520Clipboard%2526tid%253Dwhite_backgroup_101&image=HTB19M3wXCWD3KVjSZSgq6ACxVXah.jpg&businessType=ProductDetail&templateId=white_backgroup_101&title=4%252C15+z%25C5%2582++41%2525OFF+%257C+Hot+Sale+Butterfly+Clasp+Stainless+Steel+Watch+Strap+Double+Press+Button+Clasp+Buckle+For+16mm+18mm+20mm+22mm+24mm+Watch+Strap&platform=AE&tt=sns_Copy&aff_platform=default&cpt=1561744880902&sk=6hd4KBQ&aff_trace_key=b40ada1856d1426cab55dd4a36621ac9-1561744880902-00271-6hd4KBQ&terminal_id=dcf51959958740719ee463beddcc4797```

I have never seen on aliexpress where I could possibly be profiting from sharing links here. Please direct me to it

where there clearly is Affiliate trace key

and your terminal id (what app was used to copy that link aka your phone)

etc etc

I mean, if you're just autistically screeching about ali knowing WHO shared a link and who clicked on that link, fuck off, but if this is actual "I am making money by sharing links here", that's a problem

@Matthew aliex links make quite bit of nice sideincome for reviewers and youtube/twitch bitches

and quite bit of people here get their product suggestions straight from youtubes echochamber

Again, please send me to the part of aliexpress where I can see where I'm making money from sharing the .click link here, as opposed to jumping through hoops to get the "clean" link

https://portals.aliexpress.com/ there you go

jump on this dick fag

or the 2 other methods they give people to use their links to make money

cant remember those urls from top of my head

So it's something I have to register/activate? And until I do, it's totally benign from a monetization/referral standpoint?

Sweet, cool

@Matthew most likely yes unless it uses someone elses affiliate codes if you dont have yours (what you have clicked somewhere accidently or intentionaly

it still buts that identifier there for some reason

and i doubt it whips it from thin air

so all you know you could be supporting some <insert hated group here> person without you knowing

So, what you're saying is basically "even though this isn't actually making you any money, I am going to autismally complain about it regardless, because it's possible that it could"?

and spreading that affiliation ID like malware if it works like some of those cookies do

@Matthew nope im stating that we cant know if the person using s.clicks is indeed clean or dirty unless someone bothers doing some heavy lifting and finding out how alis bullshit works for sure

Well, since you're such a galaxy brain, feel free to add something to porco bot to strip .click links. Until, suck my penis <:hahayes:330459104495665153>

and matthew ran out of arguments again

aww

referral links of any sort (including tracking ones) benefit the chinks

and therefore are bad and should be stripped

The bot used to have the functionality to strip them. It's not like I'm against it being reenabled or reimplemented. I'm just saying I'm not going to bust my ass to share something on ali here when I'm phoneposting

Freudian slip???

it worked until they changed something about s.click links

in order to strip them, the bot has to actually follow the link

which wasn't the case before

can't just do `https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/6hd4KBQ` -> `https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32744767076.html` without wondering wtf happens to `6hd4KBQ`

but if you're willing to find out, i can (or you can) implement it in porcobot fairly easily

<:pepewot:589100642820161551>

Huuuuh gay bot

uh well i updated it on github to be what the bot is actually running right now

it checks m.aliexpress and aliexpress.com

uh the non-cleaned message of that was like 300 characters

crazy

In the reviews...

You know, genetically engineered crops may be the key to solving world hunger and making human civilization sustainable in the long term, but things like this make me question whether it's really worth it

someone should put their dick in that

I'm genuinely surprised they got that close @Matthew

Also that's gross

Has anyone here tried the Xiaomi airdots ?

How are they ?

@Deleted User both are fake

are chink sound cards worth anything

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bnPADTG8

found this thing

Orico makes good stuff

and these things can be useful on laptops with a single headphone jack

depends what you're looking for really

if you want sound quality it may not be your best bet, but probably still better than laptop soundcards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg6yY0o6zoc

👀

ent me

@spaqin I'm talking about my PC's sound card mostly since I don't use my laptop that much

and it's got the integrated one from an ASRock board

i'd go something higher end then

used fiio e07/e10/e17 maybe

also it depends if you have a set of headphones/earphones that can actually display the difference in quality

lmao, bought the sq11 camera

could be a good spycam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>they sold 38 million

jfc

how about in non retard lingo

import company sold 38 million autism spinners

they have 1 million left over

giving them away for free

based

gotta treat all those inherently sick dutchies

how many spinners per household then

they're giving them away per bag of 100

I want 100 free fidget spinners

That's 100 free ball bearings

some of them have lights and batteries

Even better

almost worth it to pick some up and salvage those, but i'm not going to drive 1 hour for it

Build a shitty tech startup with fidget spinners

😓 tism

I was gonna ping Tim

What happened?

@Windatica

what?

he's still on the server @Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck

Wtf

Tried pinging him and his name didn't appear when I typed "@tims"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thought we'd lost everyone's fav collector of random shit

@timsandtoms

<:woah:333623269674713098>

@timsandtoms

I was summoned

>everyone's fav collector of random shit

A title I will ~~bear proudly.~~ add to my collection.

wtf someone stop this man

It's probably a good thing AliExpress isn't allowed to sell sketchy "research chemicals that totally aren't for human consumption" or I'd probably have ended up with a collection of those.

does ali still sell the darn strong hydrogenperoxide gels

iirc it was like 1L bottle for cheap and "for dental use"

that shit was something silly like 60% pure etc

Damn. Well, lemme know if you run into any.

id check for it but ali thinks im robot

Takes me 6 capchas to login

yeah im not using their site until they fix that bullshit

Mobile seems to be fine

(also apparently alibaba still sells liquid H2O2 up to 50% enjoy your laws preventing anything stronger than 10-15% stuff imported due bomb making bullshit)

I do enough damage without AliBaba

how do you feel about the flashlights section @timsandtoms

hey @Matthew i found something for you <https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/please_help_send_62118571551.html?>

How many bars of pressure does that thing make?

Asking for a friend

has ali search gone to shit for anyone else

if you search for multiple words it just returns completely useless results that match only one word

I haven't used it today sorry.

@Windatica I'll check at lunch

good news, the bot should be able to clean s.click.aliexpress links now

bad news: you don't want to see the code

also i think there's three types of 'referral' links, non-mobile s.click.aliexpress, mobile s.click.aliexpress, and a desktop non s.click one

Couple bits could be reworded, and it's definitely worth noting for the battery sizes that while they're the same size, you can't just swap alkaline and lithium.

But mostly looks good

Might work on it a bit when I get home

Do the Mi A2 and A2 Lite have the same glass over the camera? Somehow broke mine today.

how are QCY with youtube

is the latency noticable ?

fuck it

they are like 20$

and I just got paid yesterday

I will get them

@foxhunt which QCY I have the QS1 and they're based

absolutely usable for all things video too

is there delay on youtube videos ?

not noticeable

I think I'm pretty anal about delays, I had some Bluetooth fuckery here before and I couldn't use it for videos

but with the QCY I can watch YT and everything

just tested it again on a video of someone talking, seems very in sync to me

guess I am getting them just hope they are comfy with my wierd ass ears

probably going to change the tips to spinfits

I'm using stock tips and I'm surprised how well they hold and isolate sound

my only gripes:
- microusb to charge the case (let it die already)
- pressing the buttons on the headphones will push them into your ear, but that happens with every BT headphone that doesn't have touch controls

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32930424839.html

I have these

BUT

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985227564.html

these seem to be identical, they just have a different charging case with an even bigger battery

380 vs 800 mAh

with 800 mAh in the charging case you'll probably be charging that twice a month lol

I charge my case weekly and I still haven't ran out of juice

Quick dumb question if i got a laptop or phone running Bluetooth 4.0 can it connect with 5.0 and later Bluetooth earphones?

it can but it just wont be as energy efficient

Least of my worries then

is bluetooth AAC codec supported in 4.0?

But anything with sound or range deficiency?

because these can improve sound quality by using a different codec

now all I have to decide is do I go with black or white

black

Bought a blowtorch from china

attached it to a regulator and hose (not from china)

works well.

turned down the pressure to take a picture. Could not see the blue flame in sunlight

brave

This yellow flame is only shootign out 20-30cm, the full pressure blue flame shoots out 70-90cm

brave ?

more like suicidal

there is one rule in chinese shopping and that is you never buy something that while malfunctioning can endanger you

whoops, phone batteries can explode

sorry, you're getting an iphone

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@foxhunt excuse me I own a large number of Chinese power banks and other lithium ion batteries

I'm still alive

still being the key word

but yeah some chink banks are ok

though I bought a charging brick for my phone from ugreen and sometimes it makes a strange buzzing or poping noice

needless to say I don't use it

@foxhunt coil whine? like a third of "western euro" products have that

@Cole you got a qs2?

was just looking at it, thoughts?

QS1

ah

what's the signature like? my ZS5v1's are anemic on bass

they're my go-to travel/work driving earphones now

uhh, I would call them balanced but I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to audiophilia

hmm

Xiaomi Mosquito Repeller with Timer

That shit never works

Anything that claims to emit ultrasonic sound does hardly anything against mosquitoes, or even rodents as some claim too

I don't think it does anything with ultra sonic sounds

It just has a filter in it that works as a repellent

the new ali layout is hot fucking garbage

and somehow they managed to introduce more bugs

Yup

<:pepewot:589100642820161551>

the butt hourglass

The perfect mechanism for smuggling coke across the border

Just pray they don't crack and your asshole gets filled with broken glass and nanointegris boron nitride nanotubes (purity >75%)

Is it the purity that concerns you in that scenario?

What vendor has the best custom mouspads?

I have a nerf laser ops

Does anyone know if I can mount the storage?

Can't find anything online except for IR reverse engineering

stiched edges overrated

@Tribit thanks

No they're not @Lefteris it's better than having the fabric coming unglued at the edges

I finnaly am building a pc and needed a mouspad.

Nice

Settled on a picture for it yet?
