@Windatica i saw Mark Ryden apparently are some featured brand now on the front page

check them out

a lot of their models have the USB charge thing too tho so idk if you'll find a good one that doesn't have it

USB Bullshit is nice, tho. I just wish it had a cover or plug

tbh like those sorts of backpacks arent fit for active/outdoors type stuff so it makes sense that they wouldnt care about people wanting to toss it in a washing machine

The cord itself is removable

although the one i bought has material that's somewhat oleophobic

So you can wash it with no issues

it is?

Mine is.

You just pull it out from the inside

on mine it's fixed to the port, there's a pocket inside where the cable runs to the outside port

RIP

i guess im sticking with my 7 year old jansport superbreak

so your port has like a female USB thing inside as well as outside?

It's a female port on the outside that leads to a male on the inside, so you can connect a battery pack to it

yeah i know
but like you can't remove the cable itself right?

Yes, I can

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

i literally have the same

i thought it was all a fixed assembly

so you CAN remove the cable

nice

The included M>F cable is very low quality, it might be worth spending a few bux to get a better one

this one doesn't QC 3.0, for whatever reason.

uh what

are you pulling the female connector out of the black plastic housing

yeh

ok

thats a lot more appealing

i was convinced it wasnt modular for some reason and i owned this bag for a while

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32925860635.html

The little pocket on mine actually extends the entire length of the pack, so I can retract a cable entirely into the bag and pull it out as necessary

Looks a little jank but w/e, QC

what bank you packin?

a grommet might have been a better idea

A Vida VA04@onoderaSecurity

http://www.vidachd.com/yd/showproduct.php?lang=en&id=87

It's a literally who battery I got from amazon, but it has QC 3 and wirelss charging, along with a USB C port

i got a Xiaomi 2C in mine, tight fit in the pocket you put the bank in

Mine doesn't have a dedicated pocket for the battery

also my cable which seems to be kinda low quality and unremarkable works with QC 3.0 🤔

the one in the backpack i mean
i use an anker usb-c

Why are non-gook Android controllers so overpriced

:c

Samsung makes cheap Android controllers?

what about chinese copies?

The 8bitdo I got wasn't great, but wasn't terrible either. Maybe go with one of those.

asus gamepad

literally top tier Xbox-PC and Android controller

Are these any good? I like how it looks

sorry about the reflink, i just copied from the app :(

https://twitter.com/Xiaomi/status/1166289248972083202?s=19

@the_cook it's OK, the bot auto picks it apart

sure, but didnt want to give off the idea what i was spamming reflinks~

installgentoo wiki says this is a recommended solder station:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/920335654.html

Is that still the case or are there better ones out there?

t12 clones are nice too

@the_cook is cool nobody thought that

The aliexpress app always comes up with ref links by itself, they're not linked to you. The app links are indistinguishable from actual ref links so the bot cleans it up regardless

@Magnius KSGER T12 is much nicer

https://g-csg.github.io/electronics.html Read the fucking page desu

that being said 937D isn't bad apparently

Huh

I didnt even know Xiaomi Mijia had a multitool under its brand

In the process of getting that KSGER T12.

@the_cook if you end up deciding to buy it, buy it through here and use code BG26KKF to drop the price to $26.99

Arghhh, which one do I get? Just the one with the most orders? What's the difference between them all? :(

@onoderaSecurity help this man

Oooooh Ikea has some flushmountable BT speakers

@Magnius okay so, there's one that has no power supply "mini" that takes a 24v 5a barrel jack

but i assume you dont want that

there's also the 2.1 vs 2.0 revision and there's barely any difference

i'll link you the listing

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32945257770.html

there you go

you can also add whatever tips you want from their store, i added an ILS tip along with the K one

although the JL02 hook in Set 3 is good too

2.1 revision is quite a lot more expensive and i'm pretty sure the difference is negligible, the PSUs are good throughout all revisions

Cool
And the one where i need to have my own powercable, is that all?
Because I’m sure i can snag one from work

We have those in abundance

yep, IEC C13

the one for PC power supplies, that's all you need

Nice cool, gonna go for that one then

Thanks mate!

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32663095139.html

ILS tip on its own if you want it

Any difference in tips?

Like is there a specific reason to go for one and not the other?

yeah no shit
you will use different tips in different situations, it depends what you work on

thin conical like this would be like soldering small points on a motherboard or something

Yeah thats one of my first projects i had in mind

Soldering together a motherboard? As your first project?

i mean i meant working on a motherboard because you need to solder wires onto specific vias/resistors/points to do what i'm doing

@Magnius if this is your first time then you should get those small project kits that teach you

It's a laptop motherboard. the barreljack isn't making a good connection with the motherboard itself

ohhh

So either I get a free laptop or I have a dead laptop

WHich it already is right now

So nothing to lose

like i said, i'm chipping my ecksbawks

The XBone?

Does modchips exist for it?

nah, 360

Ah, still cool

>360

>in 2019

isn't there an emulator for that

yes, Xenia
recently its been getting big improvements but its not flawless

RPCS3 recently made MGS4 playable which is great

Red Dead Redemption is also in a really nice state

@Cole willing to sacrifice $27 to compare a xiaomi multitool to a leatherman?

why is this still NOT an emote

this

"its not multitool unless it has corkscrew"

also

I.. don't know

what multitool

@Tervy victorinox pls go

in <#287939846662651906>

I don't really like the style tbh

@Cole but the leatherman CS3 and CS4 have it too

those are key sized toys

Wave+ or bust

(and gerper mp400 ec etc etc etc)

Gerber more like Derper

^on that we agree

also id rather get leathermans crunch or skeletool if so~

i mean .. style is not bad and it has scrissors

Gerber centerdrive is ok looking but ultimately the usability fucks up always

they're just unreliable

then there is Roxon S801 .. quality is tolerable but it has it all

@Tervy I have the skeletool and it's ok, but I don't get why it gets so much praise

it's a big tool with.. not many tools

its the clip on it

that sounds like me <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

for backbag,work belt etc

the CX model makes it more tolerable

@Julian lmao

High quality post, Mod. Good job

He's government-mandated to say that

Is there a guide for TV boxes

no

mi box > all

I am now more successful than ever

it's the emoji

mi box is great but the HDMI-CEC issues are driving me mad

HDMI-CEC fucking sucks with my LG TV and Nvidia Shield, too

only thing that works is power on and power off

automatically change input? nah
volume? lmao

and even then, power on/off works about 80% of the time

Meanwhile my odroid c2 works perfectly

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

i have a LG TV as well, everything works, but the 'change input' is a bit aggressive and keeps changing to itself, even when not in use

have to unplug it after a while

im sure the odroid is great but i kinda want to stop DIYing everything, especially with other users in the house

Get a proper Sony tv <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

Fuck Sony for having only 2 hdmi ports in 2018 tv models though

I hope they fixed that shit

iunno, i really like LG, had a ton of problems with Sony instead (mostly about gettnig the resolution right, it wouldnt communicate with my PC about that)

but maybe all these problems are fixed with my new tv

(LG OLED C8 thingy)

Interesting, Sony TVs never failed me

Those LG oled TVs are nice

I've always wanted one

But I never even use my current TV so it would be a waste to get one

I accidentally unplugged it like 3 months ago, and I still haven't gotten around to plugging it back in

will give my remarks when I actually relearn how to do this shit

You got that pretty quick, didn't you just order it the other day?

no sir

i'm the one who shilled it

not the other guy who wanted one

Oh ok, That makes sense

came through pretty quick for aliexpress standard tho

ordered it on the 20th

a week from china is pretty quick

Yeah that's pretty good

I need to learn to solder

i'm essentially starting over and it's gonna be harder too

since im going for more difficult work

tinning small vias for wires and shit like that

I bought a macropad kit so I could learn on it, but I never actually got an iron

I'll probably end up with one of those USB irons that get shilled here every so often, and I since I don't really have desk space for a full setup, and I doubt I'll be soldering *that* much

tbh the KSGER isnt that big

KSGER mini is also an option if you have a power brick

TS80 and TS100 are good irons mind you just slightly more expensive and i'd prefer the interface of a stationary unit

Being a self contained thing I can just chuck in a drawer when not using it is the most appealing thing about the TS irons

ksger mini being equaly sized if not larger when you account for the powerbrick

Fair enough

I'll put it in the consideration whenever I finally get around to getting one

also im pretty sure the ts80/ts100 tip standard is different

its not t12

i guess the mini could save space if you also have lab-PSU capable feeding it

then you can just throw the barrel in its ass and lead to station and have a go with it

i mean you can put the brick on your floor

if you're starved for desk space

and yeah TS80/100 uses similar but separate tips

@Cole look at these niggas not having one of those

difference is 40mm versus 130mm

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

quickly looking at banggood measurements at least

@Millwood does yours have a tiny bulb in the front or are you poor

@onoderaSecurity Mine is in the mail :))

`awaiting shipment`
So I'll guess it will take another month before I have the soldering station

Ah well, I can wait

@Matthew is shitpostbot, as they say, "one of us"?

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two it's a bot

Yeah but I mean, whoever made it, is it a csg guy
