then again it's like 8am Beijing

the shitty YIHUA is now refunded, I can sleep well

@Tervy I didn't know stuff like the Yihua is that antiquated now and that the KSGER is the new wave. thanks for the heads up

dear

thanks 🐖

that's the listing I bought from, it's the older hardware revision, I don't think there's a difference

https://youtu.be/yZlq8CKKnSs

is this "佳达隆轴冰蓝光红轴" supposed to be Gateron Reds?

@Enkrypton it's asking if the switch type is Gataron Reds

@onoderaSecurity iirc the firmware does not matter that much also there is someform of custom firmware by PTDreamer too to some HW-version of it but i have not handled it

also the hardware itself is nicely hackable if you want to go down that rabbit hole (Switching C4 cap to better quality for example, removingR10 for sane RTC battery times (not just few weeks..) etc etc etc...)

~~and heres to hoping you dont get v2.0 board what tends to generate some heat (controller board version) :P~~

mm your store shows V2.01 -green pcb you should be safe

afaik current best HW version is 2.1S models (no real difference other than pumpcontroller and buck converter(or SPX2954 LDO for 3.3V if green pcb)

also for those interested next step up from that (in 100+ eurodollar tiers) is pretty much "Jabe UD-1200" and from that "JND DI300" what are pretty much chinese JBC copies :D (unless you want to stay in Hakko World (<https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33031757424.html>) (and you can get mini station for JBC OR HAKKO tips from tindie for 100 <https://www.tindie.com/products/soguklehim/soldering-iron-controller-v32-for-jbc-t245c245/>)

@Tervy I'm pretty sure the one I bought is a legit 2.09 version from the official store. Apparently banggood flashed over 2.10 with "2.1s" on older models. 2.0 is apparently cheaper

yeah what is a pump controller and buck converter

like what do you mean by it in this context

and by 2.01 you're referring to the PSU board right?

yeah 2.01 as in hardware revision

not as in firmware

2.01 has heatsinks on the problem spots what 2.0 does not have for example

i dunno the details just the thing i saw while i was evaluating it ksgers for myself :3

@Tervy it's a good enough iron for the entry level though right? i seldom solder but i dont want some garbage with a potentiometer in the iron or some 2kg 5 year old station

for sure its good, multi functions (Well it has menu and oled..) and certainly enough for hobbyist

let alone for starters

for that price its nearly impossible to beat unless you want portability of T100

yeah T100 looked cool too but it's pricier i think

by like 10 dollars

could be wrong

and T100 still needs that PSU

compared to KSGER (if you brought the PSU model) has it built in

the mini KSGER looks cute too but i dont have a brick lying around for it

and finding correct barrel jacks is a pain i think

yeah some people suggest mini version so you avoid "firehazard" tho then they go and order chinese PSU to it....

like whats the idea

lole

average price for Yihua stations is like £30 for a 75W one and they're the oldschool type ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scvS2yeUH00 ), ksger cost me £35

knife tip and "ILS" thin cone/needle type tip

the handle is some Black one out of plastic, i think it's the slightly better one

handles most likely are just preference thing

i just dont want something excessively chunky and something that will melt

blugh

yeah you should get that from these :D

this one sucks the most ass apparently

regarding that video... JBC is around 400 and that hakko closer to 200

yeah i know but he's just talking about the principle
dave even looked at a t100/t80 to my knowledge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z9es-D9_8g

yeah but still quite difference in prices too

Rossmann also talked about how a knockoff of a fx951 will thrash something using the old type like a Weller any day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmq769_ed9w

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

should I have added any other tips or just use Knife and ILS for now? @Tervy

will be mostly working on electronics, small boards

thats the question you only can answer

i think ILS will be mostly in my use

I or D pretty much

id D is the straight conical one im thinkking of

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32839557094.html bevelled

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32574864414.html hook

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32575427569.html this is straight conical i think

ILS is thinner and and not a full cone shape

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i can just use hakko tips too tbh

and well "T12 Tip" search on ali has tons of seller for what ever flavor you need anyway

https://www.rchelicopterfun.com/t12-soldering-station.html review <:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

Why there isn’t any battery on xiaomi’s official store on AliExpress

sending batteries with planes is a small no-no

those ship by train, right?

supposed to be train or boat

but i've had plenty come by plane

Probably might be transported by plane if the cargo bay has some way to counter fires

most have fire suppresion, iirc

also i think they're not allowed on _passenger_ planes (as extra cargo gets put on those planes)

https://www.amazon.com//dp/B072N18NJ6

Note for anyone reading and traveling with powerbanks: you can take them with you in the passenger cabin, but not in your luggage

probably easier to deal with 1 powerbank fire with you noticing it instantly than having it go hell between tons of bags

Yep

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=lithium+bag& are these any use?

they're better than nothing

i store my batteries in an ammunition crate

https://youtu.be/CnNId0mDnBo

lessons to learn from that : dont keep all your batteries in one stack specialy while charging , care for your batteries, if shit hits the fan you are pretty much screwed anyway unless you use proper bag and even then its 50-50 if you remembered to seal it properly

@the_cook have had my Gongtian on flights several times now

It has as a 18650 battery in it

also what sadly is missing from that quite neat test is the batteries stored in sand inside the ammocan

where people either have molded or dig them there

saw that thing used in one place what handled quite many batteries as their job

in theory at least it would prevent chain reaction effectively*

@Goz3rr >ultrafire joke

(*i guess it depends if the sand is able to heat enough to start others too either way everything is always ruined per storage box)

screwdriver set arrived yesterday <:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

@onoderaSecurity Hey did you decide upon a soldering iron? Becuase I own the Yihua 908D and it's really good. Heats up quite quickly.

@Absolute Kubica is that the Wiha set?

@onoderaSecurity It's a ceramic style heater, but it works really well for its price.

yes @Aqualiteking

Is it good?

@Aqualiteking already decided on the KSGER

Yeah it seems like a great value too

The wiha set is great, can't recommend it enough

^^

mine has been amazing

looks very well made. good quality tbh.

Guys what do you think about the Amazfit GTR? 🙂

holy shit

it finally exists

i found solid core wire on ali

https://striveday.aliexpress.com/store/group/Soild%20Wire/1963631_513389292.html

Finally you can tie yourself with ali wire

@Goz3rr YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED

i hyped that shiop months ago due same shit :D

i would have given the boomark to you in flash mang <3

lol, i looked for it like a year ago and never found it

i just randomly stumbled on it now

also their multistrand wires are good stuff too from my experience

and they had at least back then silicon wired cable too in single and multicore

@Goz3rr Nice, I read about this store on reddit today

hey i bought some stuff from that store

i think they have the same prices on amazon

not in yurop sadly

this is the only thing

Thanks dear for wonderful item description (shoes)

excuse me

my <:mixza_shark:230982717200793600> is dead only 2 months after I got it

and of course it had to be the 256gb one

not the 32gb I got for almost no money

:crying: :crying: :crying:

That's a first

I have my 128gb since 2016 and it's still working

guys

what do you think about the Amazfit GTR 47mm?

@foxhunt mi 9t review in <#491172628917256192> when Dear <:alithink:327930371796893698>

coming soon

though I doubt I would say anything that hasn't already be said

no one has reviewed it there yet

A short concise review is also very welcome

@androidcrawler is that a review? No? Then get your comments out of there fam

@androidcrawler the thing is the front camera might break and I will never know it since I never take selfies. I open my front camera like twice an year and mostly when I think there might be something on my face.
TLDR: I don't give a fuck

Hello, My name is Zero Infinity
I'mm just a small town girl
Looking for an amzingly good and cheap Mechnaical Keyboard

My logitech G910 failed me agaaaaaain

Issue is I live in a Hell hole called Qatar

its a collab keyboard appearantly

@Windatica

I'm not greedy, I want a keyboard to live for 3 years only

@Windatica premium kalih switches that break after 3 months of playing rythm games on tthem

I ordered a mech keyboard from Aliexpress

Yep. bless logitechh

what size keyboard @Zero Infinity

tkl, fullsized, etc

i want a tenkeyless this time tbh i dont use the numpad

Tenkeeyless with Media Keys+Volume

literally the most useful feature of the numpad is togging skid modmenus in gtav

prove me wrong

Actually full, I'm hitting excel hhard thhis period @Windatica

dedicated media keys or are macros ok

like fn+f5 to play music

Dedicated: Volume, Play/pause, next & Back

@Zero Infinity durgod was recommended to me

too

i dont think any chinese fullsized mechanical keyboard with dedicated media keys exist

those are pretty much only exclusive to the "gamer" brands like corsair, logitech, etc

Ajazz AK45?

apperently they use box switches

neat

AKKO 3108 has dedicated volume keys

>being this retarded for chinkshit

<:implying:589103384699863050>

I cannot control how you react to the thoughts and ideas come to you from the envrionment

by claiming insult and offense you have only proven that you are incapable of controlling your own thoughts

and are thus not a very reliably person when it comes to objective judgement

Ohhh Aristotle

Or is it.....Plato
