Only one I could see being useful is NFC payment.

tru

clock app

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two fuck off

I have a perfectly functional clock on my phone

I think he was making what we may call a "joek"

Only joke here is you

Ugreen are like the 'Amazon Basics' of Aliexpress, except Ugreen's quality is actually a little better

I've bought a-lot of Ugreen stuff over the past 2 years and I gotta say, I'm satisfied.

plus the free strap

got a collection of those, sadly the most recent Ugreen order came with a smaller version of the Velcro strap

I likes the thicc velcro straps

still useful tho

i have like five of the straps, and ive never used them

but if i ever need one

ill be ready

I just buy generic velcro straps in bulk (bought about 60 of 'em), I use them for a-lot of cables, but the thicc Ugreen straps I strap to a pole on my glass/metal tv stand, for style

autistic? probably.

i have the one from my latest order still sitting on my desk

what'd you order? :3

my last ugreen order was a 3.5mm to rca female adapter

'bout to order a hdmi cable

cables to go with these

ah I bought my mom one of those, never ended up using it

for my

bluetooth car audio pretzel

lulz, I know it's safe, but all I can think of is car fires XD

i buy from ugreen to *avoid* fires

hmm same

works like a charm too

although i would have preferred shorter cables

but i didnt see any

cigarette lighter and aux port aren't very far from each other

so this setup has some slack

is there a bluetooth low-energy thing that can transmit bluetooth audio in a passively powered way?

i dont think you can have bluetooth without power

I've heard some of this bluetooth low-energy stuff is practically 'free-energy' crystal radio tier

like, micro amps

i dunno anything about that

also its pretty funny how the aux cable cost more than the bluetooth receiver itself

the cable actually contains a small about of metal

the bluetooth receiver contains chines-ium, and slave laborer farts

i can smell the savings

and probably a recycled asbestos substitute to fiberglass for the PCB substrate

well i shouldn't have to worry about it catching on fire then

nope, just the farts, and the cancer (^_^)

I bought a new intel 9260 wifi card, but it has a m.2, while my current wifi module slots into a mini pcie slot. 😒

I do have a m.2 slot, but it is currently being used by my lte modem. Gonna have to try if it works in that slot.

It's a different type of m.2 slot. 😒

and this is why you check the specs always

Wow that site has worst mobile support ever

https://www.popularairsoft.com/files/imagesmore/hsp_flatpack_04.jpg

So smoll

For dat price

You should see some handbag pricing :^)

imagine paying that much for a backpack

what's the best universal battery charger in 2019? I stopped paying attention

(by universal I mean stuff like AA, AAA, 18650, 26650 etc)

still liitokalas ?

SkyRC MC3000

Today I received a tiny keychain toothpick/pokey thing.

what is that thing for?

just stabbing shit?

I figure it could be useful for my job, it often involves poking and prodding around in machines

@Matthew What is this odd field notebook?

That pompous self-indulgent specification ticks me off

field notes

actually good quality

@Sapharanth here, friend. Everything you could ever want to know about this particular notebook

U S A U S A

Glad to see O B S E S S I O N posting has a higher priority than the fact that the ink is soy-based.

You don't lick your notebook, do you?

@Matthew the soy part is just assumed when we're talking about america.

@Matthew link to pokey thing?

field notes is cringe

whats wrong with a notebook?

the fact that brand comes with a 50% markup because people know the name

composition books > field notes / moleskin notebooks / etc

🤷

i mean composition books isnt a brand name

there are good composition books and bad ones

Good thing I didn't buy it

Gf gave it to me

the worst composition book on earth is better than the most premium $1000 leatherbound field notes book

i find that hard to believe

you're mistaking quality for value

We have very talented teams of people working in solving the problem of people buying things you don't like @sb057

Settle down.

thank you

its superior in the same sense that a nokia 3310 is superior to the iphone x

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two

oh right this is the main channel n shit

Yeah, be a poor faggot somewhere else

he said, on the discord (ie cheapskate slack) server dedicated to discounted oriental wares

Ty matt

What tech stuff should I bring back from China 🤔

@DarkWorld25

Gg

make one of those custom iphones

That's a thing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leFuF-zoVzA

the fucking soyface learned he can buy separate parts and they will come together <:soy:589104157248585749>

yeah

i hadnt watched the video previously

it was less cool than i thought

literally jsut assembling parts he bought

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

My friend is looking for some funny aliexpress/ebay chinked compilation that he saw on youtube years ago, pls help

@spaqin somehow the soyboy figured this out and couldn't figured out a pc build

Really?

Lmao

@Matthew that looks usefull scraping pick .. ty throwing it on my list

@Matthew thank you second time their shop seems to have all kind of good stuff even found one of things is have been searching for

what was it you were looking for?

ahh yes those fuck ass custom screw openers for knife and other stuff

also that toothpick

chink Centimeters

>here have this 1 meter fucking toothpick

That's a nightstick

Or a tonfa

Or (anti)police baton

Lmao

sometimes mm vs cm matters

Whats keycap puller called in Chinese

With that thing you could probably stab someone

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two that guys videos got better. He literally did those first fire videos to kickstart his YouTube channel with a bang to go full time YouTube

If they get better I'll check em out

They did some factory tours. Just look and click the ones that interest you. His video on adding the headphone jack is better then the build an iPhone one

And the memory swap is cool too

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two they already are

Anyone tried the xiaomi electric toothbrushes?

yup, they're pretty good

i don't have anything to compare it with, but i've had no problems with it

even the cheapo ones I posted in <#287939846662651906> ?

i haven't tried the cheapo ones

Im guessing the one you tried is the ~$30 one?

the weird one with bluetooth

?

chinese government wants to know what your teeth are like to evaluate social credit score

nothing personal, dear

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two @spaqin I think the point of the video wasn't "wow, if I assemble an iPhone, I have an iPhone!", it was more "all the parts you need to assemble an iPhone without ever seeing an official Apple store are available from independent sources with their own unique culture, come alone with me and see"

If you want to get second-hand white person anxiety, watch the video where he goes to India or whatever and you can see emaciated brown people following being him in the crowds. You know damn well if he went down the wrong alley he would've gotten robbed hardcore

Which is to be expected when you're waving around a camera worth more than they make in a year

https://youtu.be/5F5265jEl28

``"The Smells are amazing here"``

@Matthew i enjoyed the video, and what i enjoyed about it was what you were talking about here

i thought he was going to do something more interesting with the phone itself too

it was an interesting video about a boring item, where i was expecting a boring video about an interesting item

Today I received a tiny pocket screwdriver set.

Comes with surprising number of bits, packs up pretty compact.

The bits are mounted in such a way that it's almost impossible for bits to fall out

It's handlet-sized, for sure, but that's to be expected.

those are shit

tips are fine its just the handle that has issues

slippery as fuck

The bits are held in with an actual locking chuck, as opposed to a dinky magnet.

@Windatica yeah, I can see that being a concern. Nothing roughening it up with a file or something can't solve tho

But for less than $4, I think it's a hell of a deal.

not bad

i may pick up a set

id only recommend it if you can retool the handle somehow

file some knurlings or anything
