I even paid a bit more for dhl shipping

yurop?

if things go well I might not have to pay import tax

<:pepewot:589100642820161551> arent you afraid of VAT

isnt dhl 100% confirmed chance of tax

ooo

interesting

link to listing pls

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33029802366.html?

@Julian it's not if they list it as something like a €20 bt mouse

I thought that that shit doesnt slide with dhl, only with lazy local customs

good to know though

DHL is pretty fucking thorough when it comes to customs

I will tell you what happened once it comes

but it is possible to "pre-pay" it when the item goes out

which is what the seller might've done

I hope they did

otherwise you're getting kiked

I can't believe we don't have a happy merchant emoji

shopping from China is kind of like gambling

sometimes you get something nice

sometimes you get chinked hard

Well chinks like gambling so it makes sense

DHL is 100% customs afaik from past known people that used it <:woah:333623269674713098>

in eu

Not in that case

When they say it's customs free it always has been in my case

They ship it to the UK first and DHL from there

that seems to be the case

> 6-10 working days
> Express

pretty express if u ask me

the shipping info said 20 days though

so I hope its 10

the shipping info is bs half the time, because it's usually the upper bound

idk in my experience if it's 20-40 i get it in like 2 weeks

sometimes 10 days

while for 30-50 or whatever it's correct

maybe i have good luck iunno

customs took 3 days last year

now they are taking like 2 weeks

(chile)

wena conchetumadre @sertralino, yanwen's take 3-4 months here in Santiago

I want to buy something from taobao

Mail and phone number has been used

there's no email recovery, only ID and name (tried mine) and doens't work
nick recovery only gives first and last character so i have no idea which one is it

fucking taobao

let me buy some chink vocaloid music please

FFFFF

Can anyone buy me a 30 RMB digital album on taobao? I'll pay in paypal

Just pirate it

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32815404045.html

this better be a good enclosure

just ordered ☺

@Windatica

anyone got any experience with it? Lockpick lawyer speaks well of it

its on sale right now, slapped it up on <#287939846662651906>

Nope

i bought a similar one from aliexpress couple years ago

same teaching lock, different picks. the teaching lock is easy as hell to pick, has nothing to do with real locks, but it's useful to learn the lock mechanism

the family of lockpicks in my set is much worse than this banggood one, most of the ones i have I have never used and I'm pretty sure they are useless

so yeah this deal looks great for the price specially if the lawyer says so, but bear in mind that you will probably need lots of practice to get barely good at it

best chink 2din?

most are the same

u can probably find them locally as well for similar price

@Mereck idk where to pirate chinese indie music

Neither do they

>Chinese
>independent

lock picking does seem fun tbh

@Glas probably on bandcamp

@Glas idk either but I'd probably look at chinks download forum and bbs for that

my chink vibrates like crazy

got the leaf one the one that blows itself away

i opened the front half but doesnt seem like its touching anything, cant figure out whats loose, anyone had this happen to his?

this one blade is a bit broken, could that cause the vibration?

How did the blade break

that was last year i dont remember

And yeah a broken blade can cause a imbalance/vibration

when i press the space in between the two buttons on the front and back it stops the vibration

lol

i think its the 18650 battery

put toilet paper behind it and that fixed it 😄

@Tribit why is it so hot here my dude i think this is the end

Has anyone else had trouble with senfire in the past

They seem to take forever to deliver one of my packages

Hey

Are there modern cassette recorders for PC?

like audio cassette?

if that's what you mean, all modern manufacture cassette decks are the same mechanism (and they aren't good), so get any of them and plug it into your 3.5mm port

its best to buy an older tape deck from when quality tape mechaisms were still being manufactured

I'm assuming you're referring to data tapes, in which case yes

or you can do both and have data on your audio cassette

<:radthonk:318079469376110597>

https://www.mitchelectronics.co.uk/product/datacorder/

I can use the decks to record?

Yes

What are you guys using your OPI for? <:chinese_think:323022148870602752>

https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/07/24/xiaomi-booty-smart-anti-lost-device-with-two-way-search-function-and-costs-just-99-yuan-14/

The Xiaomi Booty

we're getting closer to Xiaomi sex toys guys

it's happening

<:miclick:527149623609917451>

<:gachigasm:592062549181202459>

Hmm

Finally, cheap MPPTs on ali

But then again, I'd need a lead acid battery

Thoughts on this?

good for hobby

What if my hobby is ~~flying over Iranian airpace~~ surveilling international waters?

Then you better ~~learn how to make impact explosives~~ get a model with a good camera

dear real army drone seller, please specify price of 24 dollars on package.

it would be better for me if it was 14

imagine being jewed by your goverment for anything over 15 dollars

being jewed for stuff over 25 dollars is much better

luckily for me based chinks always save me from that

<:hahayes:330459104495665153>

same

how do you even load a microSD with the roms? do you put it in your phone and take our the phones microSD? and then put it into the retro emulation handheld you purchased?

provided you can connect the phone to wifi

i mean finding roms is no biggie, i was just curious since the emulation hand helds seem to rely on microSD and such

instead of just plugging in a mini usb to USB to a laptop / desktop

have you ever run emulators on PC or phone ?

yes ofcourse i am very familiar with emulators and roms on PC / phone

its probably the same

not so much with miniSD handling

you put the rom on the storage device and play it on your emulator of choice

yeah, but man is that microSD / miniSD chip / card a tiny little bugger

thx

redmi note 7 pro vs poco f1 ?

camera wise

poco

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32947399964.html <:pepewot:589100642820161551>

I would only trust the name brand one personally: https://usbkill.com/

you don't know what kind of damage you'll do with a chink knockoff

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

What is the best chink airpods?

airpod clones or true wireless earphones?

i found the prospect of usb killers is so stupid

as in to try and pass it off as a benchmarking tool

pretty much fucking anything will die to a usb killer lol

Probably the same reason sex toys are often sold as "novelties": less legislation/regulation

@Cole tfw AliExpress are in on our taxes and charge them at checkout

Any shipments to an Australian address are automatically charged 10% GST

@Droidbot wtf

prime Australia hours

True wireless

@MargosArmen check out qcy qs2 or samsung galaxy buds

I just saw the qcy and I hate this kind of ear-rapist in rubber

It bother me when it is in my ears

oh you want true wireless ear**buds**

uh i guess the actual apple knockoffs, tws i12 or whatever

I hate the feeling of the rubber

What's that meme fan

gongtian

But those kind of rubber does not hurt my ear

most earphones are either full plastic or rubber tip

you could try qcy t3

@MargosArmen soundsport free by bose

they have that sort of semi-in-ear design

they're nice but they leak a bit

How unprecedented. A chink seller actually reaching out to ME when a parcel never arrives.

https://youtu.be/wy4q_-5cRuM

Anyone here know where I can find this thing in stock?

I found this link, but I have a hard time believing that this thing costs $100 and not $15-$30:
https://m.dhgate.com/product/watermelon-glass-tube-neon-light-sign-home/428783107.html?f=bm|GMC|pla|1471809117|59782623991|428783107|pla-298586806275|117003009|US|hinda|c|2|#pd-117

Are you black by any chance?

kek

watermelon is for everyone

not only african americans

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck cool it

Kool

170euros for sound free by bose

@Windatica anythung better than the qcy qs2?

Planning to buy it

yeah but not for $20

you gotta spend more to get better quality

what's the next step up? @Windatica

Tranya T3 for $50, Mifo O5 for $70, Samsung buds for $80-$100, and the new sony earphones for like $250

these are not my personal recommendations though

yeah where's that one article

pull that shit up jamie

Pull that shit up jannie

https://medium.com/@scarbir/the-best-tws-true-wireless-earphones-from-50-100-dollar-9b80a1786616 @MargosArmen @Zika

this is the impressions of one guy, take it with a grain of salt

good start tho

I think LTT did a video on this literally yesterday, too

thanks

@Plut0nio https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183287124273

Any Mini-dac amp recommendations?

for what ear/headphones

K240 MKII

AKG i mean

they don't get very loud plugged into normal stuff like phone or desktop

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but someone recommended giving it some power through a mini dac amp

@kaetaa youre not dead 🙏

<#248100475054850050> missed u 😗

sup haha

I'd like to buy this, but they don't sell to particulars i think

they sell minimumm amount 200 units https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Factory-Radio-Stereo-Wired-FM-Modulator_1872104636.html?spm=a2700.8443308.0.0.14e53e5fhz0Xbw

and the equivalent is 10 times more expensive in aliexpress

what should i do?

Buy 200

Resell on ebay

that's clever but i'm lazy

@Deleted User you're an actual idiot if you think $0,1-$3 is the real price

it's $18 on ali which isn't a bad price tbh

anyone had experience with buying cheap dab radios?

@Magnets Thanks, but they don't ship outside of Europe (I'm in the Northeast US).

I think it's slightly different as well.

I ordered a phone on ali thinking it was released.
turns out its preorder
I have no idea when the preorder ends, since there's nothing out there that exists showing a date

could they technically get away with never giving me my phone?

redmi k20 pro looks like a good phone

@Jignx it is

I wrote a quick review on it in <#491172628917256192> <:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

@LookRat not only was that hell of a stretch, but tf2 is a dead game

more content has been produced with the unusual bug/exploit than the patch itself, and valve will just say nothing for the next two years

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpPw7lUXyI0

damn that selfie camera

yeah

that's a hard lmao

ok so apparantly its seems that only black tech guy is having these issues

<https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_9t-review-1950p5.php>

<https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_9t-review-1950p5.php#image79>

could be a dud

or water/moisture got into the camera?

I think it fucks up the image in a similar way if it happens

He's not the only black tech guy

He ain't even the best one.

Flossy carter is great

it

it's nice that Xiaomi is figuring out how to make great cameras

give it a few more years

and they will dethrone the big companies in their cameras

flossy carter is not my favorite black review man

kinda cringe tbh

flossy is not a great reviewer by any means
he gives more first impressions more than anything after like, a few days worth of use
sometimes he can spot out details, sometimes he fucks up the details, it is what it is

I don't like the ghetto review style

a lot of his opinions tend to be samey but its not surprising considering how much better phones are getting

I'd buy the K20 if it didn't look so tacky

The red / blue side effects are ugly as fuck and the carbon is no better as fake carbon is just ugly

Just gimme a pure black

just use a case goy

None of this shit that looks like it's designed to be owned by a 12 year old boy and be sold in Toys R Us
