omg

The K75 uses a generation two Luminus SBT90 Led. It's smaller than my BLFGT and Astrolux MF04S, but out throws both of them and even rivals the legendary Acebeam W30 Laser flashlight.

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two the templates are user submitted and combined randomly

Oh ok so someone just sent in the Ali emoji and it got added to the rotation

no usbc and no bluetooth? 🤢

if it was 200$

maybe

Bluetooth... *flashlight?*

I have a Bluetooth flashlight

It's called "my phone "

@Matthew <:deletdis:560200664794398741>

This is a soldering iron

Without the tip it's also a respectable hot air blower

And with the torch addon it's a... torch

Mfw there was a time when there wasn't just a flashlight button on your phone, and you had to install spyware apps to enable it for you

Yeah, and there was no permissions API

So you just had to search along apps to find one that didn't have anything but the camera listed in permissions

👀

Any knifesharpener fags here?

@Sapharanth shoot

Got a constant angle jig?

nope

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2033644950.html

I'm looking at this

Half the price of an inferior kit from lansky

Plus it's moddable, lots of yt vids about it

I want to order more stones for it, diamond ones

o i have that

its shit

if you have a thing to bolt it to i have heard those are decent

Yeah, I'll screw it to some wood I have lying around

in its stock configuration its basically unusuable

Or plain sacrifice one of my desks

and what windatica stated

I know, you put the angle rod further from the base

Add magnets, lube the rod, so on and so on

So you haven't bolted yours down, @Windatica ?

no

you should definitely do that though

and lube the rod

Oh I'll lube the rod

and you need a stopper somewhere

on the rod

Isn't one attached?

Nbd, I'll use hotglue or a zip tie

literally put a ziptie or something there

Chink minds think alike

i guess other than that its OK

could be better, could be worse

But if you aren't satisfied with it, have you got anything better?

I don't want to feed the lansky jew

a basic stone + strop

I tried and tried

something like 400/1000 and a leather strop with green buffing compound goes a long way

alright then ur shit

My inferior hands just can't do it

Yes, I am

tried stones with angle guides ?

And you mean the horrible hard as fuck green buffing compound?

uh no?

That just melts to wax if you strop vigorously?

double no

actually maybe

if it becomes waxy and smooth that typically means you put too much compound

and you'd have to either sand it off or scrape it off

@Tervy I tried putting my knife in a vice and moving the stone, as opposed to the opposite

Fugg

ouch

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32834286671.html

Don't you ouch me, it worked much better

It's just like a constant angle kit, without the kit and angle and constants

This way I could actually sharpen a dull knife

https://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D2902-1-Pound-Buffing-Compound/dp/B0000DD35C

But not to factory level

i have this

a literal brick

400/1000 stone

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2003327923.html also there are these what use sunction cups for shit

i will die before i finish this strop

Nigga that's half a kilo

alright whats the problem

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2034812732.html

And there

I can strop on my constant angle kit

There is a leather "stone"

So all in all, you have this kit I linked but you don't use it?

You a vanilla stone and strop boy?

Meanwhile I've sharpened 30 knives to razor sharpness in mere minutes

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two can you buy me one for my birthday?

*no*

pls

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two *knife fags S E E T H I N G, insisting they could have done it just as well, just as fast*

Knife fags BTFO

just sharpen your knifes on a table grinder

Just run them under your sink tap and let water do the work lmao

F-fuck you guys, enjoy your electric grinders when shit hits the fan! Long live the republic!

or

be frugal

and sharpen your knife on the bottom of your coffee mug

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

I have 3 sharpening systems

But I always considered the constant angle sharpening kit to be the best for very dull knives

Withdrawal from the UPU doesn't effect small packet delivery under 1 kg there were already rate hikes in 2018 after USPS and China worked it out.

Fan fucking tastic I see discord still can't scroll

Still useful information, ty

@johnfrum UPU what's this

That doesn't even make sense, upu is not a face.

It's drooling

<:awoo:592062549415952384>
Awoo what's this

So Taobao started doing something strange now for me. If I go to an item that they won't ship to the USA, such as https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.4.4f957484AYZXCF&id=547294219461 while logged in, it'll load the item page, and then immediately redirect to this:

Is it like a work around page ior ust another error message?

it redirects to this URL https://world.taobao.com/wow/oversea/act/err-detail?wh_biz=tm

When contacting Taobao customer service, they said it was something that the seller set on their items, and I should try to find another seller.

I thought they didn't ship outside of china, period

They do. if you can get past the Chinese, you can enter your address int he USA, and they've got automatic consolidation companies. I've seen 2. Zhongshan Cargo Logistics and Jiacheng International. you ship your items to one of them, and they repack it all, charge you for shipping, and send it to you

the shipping cost is actually pretty reasonable

The nice thing is, at least in my account, it's basically automatic. if I choose to check out, it'll ask me which logistics company I want to send to, and it'll take care of everythhing

Nice

Dis you wind up buying the engine?

Nope.

No buying of engines occurred

RIP

That's actually another thing that auto-redirects to YOU CAN"T BUY THIS

Plus, I really really don't want to know what the cost to fucking AIRMAIL an engine is

But, I've ordered some other stuff, and that's going well.

got a SCSI card I needed for a project, and a couple model cars.

Why not boat ship It?

You live near a major freshwater port, even if it is not as hopping as itn as.

There doesn't seem to be any choice in Taobao for boat shipping

both of the logistics companies ship by air

You can always ask, they will probably just subcontract it out to a smaller forwarding company, cost more but it'll still be cheaper than airmail

@onoderaSecurity why no love for the smaller D-Tips

I got an email from taobao customer service about shipping that toolbox or an engine just now. "Dear customer：_As for the problem that you cannot place an order for the item, we check that the item cannot be ship because the item may contain sensitive words such as car parts, so the item is not allow to ship. _Sorry for any inconvenienec~_Best Regards"

thank counterfeit protection and customs bullshit from that pretty much

Yup. How annoying

@Tervy this set i just ordered has a D4, D08 and D24

might come in handy

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383116460661

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32758473985.html

Anybody have experience shipping bows, crossbows or firearms?

<:pepewot:589100642820161551>

In slightly after euro fear response

I had to sign a special sending sheet for it BUT I shipped a quiver with arrows across the state

(Australia with Australia Post)

I was trying to figure out how I could send a crossbow from USA to NZ

I called the Police Firearms agent and the Customs Arms Agent and both said its ok.

The postal companies are starting to get really anal about what can and cannot be shipped so I want to buy a crossbow now before any new law sets in.

got a shitton of items

Screen protector for K20 Pro, there were 2 in package

1 was damaged in transit, the other one I fucked uo applying

A metal and glass case for the K20 Pro

that shit is huge and it's so satisfying to hold

it also came with complementary screen protector nd camera protector

I used both since I fucked up applying the one I bought

2 more QCY T1S for friends

a xiaomi wiha screwdriver set

and Moondrop Spaceship

Animebrand

@DarkWorld25 Is the metal case the Love Mei case? I got one for my Mi Mix 2, and while it makes my phone fatter than my ass, it's a lot cozier to use that way.

@Iren Masot no clue lmao

I bought it off taobao

Here's a pic

This

Actually not bad with the clear back window

Yeah

How well doesn it handle bumps and bruises?

Brushed aluminium I think

Bruh

I feel like it can withstand more than a Nokia

The Love Mei I got could be used to bludgeon someone to death

Just an extra CM of rubber around all edges, and a big rubber patch on the back to keep it from sliding all the fuck around

Yeah dude

Phone has a six inch screen. Maybe you can see how much bugger this damn case is?

It's so much better to have that fat bezel, though

My case is smaller than yours

But holy crap the extra thicc corners

I can bludgeon someone to death

Tfw no brick case <:pepeturt:499291994649133067>

Diwhy it

What like hollow out a brick?

Tape your phone to a brick, bitch, you won't

Hot glue gun and dremel

Yes

@basker Just get a brick case if you want one, just be ready for your phone to not be the beanstalk sticc you once knew and loved. Took my phone out to clean it, and flashed Android 9 over Android 7 around the same time. Basically feels like I just unboxed a brand-new phone.

Except for the fucking glass chip out of the bottom corner of the screen, which is why I got a brick case to begin with 😂

I don't think there's a case available, pixel 2xl

I guess ottorbox

Check around Ali and others; maybe you find something

@Iren Masot that Minecraft clock is very cringe

Okay

any decent compact fishing equiptment I can buy to take on hikes?

I thought you would have more complaints about brick case or Pop Team Epic.

wtf

he didnt get the Miku edition

what miku edition

Got nova launcher prime just so I could hide all the Xiaomi apps. Downloaded all of Google's shit to replace the Xiaomi defaults.

Rather uncle Google spying on me than daddy Xi

Daddy Xi's is built right into the phone

Dump MIUI, best choice I ever made

i think only the redmi note 4x had a miku edition

<https://www.mikufan.com/mikufans-review-of-xiaomi-redmi-note-4x-hatsune-miku-limited-edition/>

I still want to buy a v20 off ebay

For use as a dap

Still considering it I mean

i have a v20, its nice

the quad dac thing is nice even if only for the fact that it makes the volume levels more granular

I like MIUI

So do you mean you want a whole separate cell phone just to drive a pair of headphones? You might want to check around /g/ to hear about some dedicated music players. Stuff like the Sansa Clip is still in use by fans; there are new products being made in the same vein to cater to users who want the same type of device.

I can vouch for the sansa clip(+)

install rockbox on it and you're good to go

>still being able to get Sansa Clip+ in 2019

Yeah, and Mosin-Nagants are still good milsurp

retard

Matt calm down, I just named it as an example. And if you can't use Ebay, your girlfriend can always do it for you.

I bought mine brand new at walmart a decade ago lol

and yeah, they're on ebay new for under $50

just make sure you get the clip+ and not the clip sport/ clip sport plus, clip zip, clip jam, or anything else

Bro the Clip+ was originally like, 20-30 bucks

what kind of melvin:
<:implying:589103384699863050> Buys a DAP in 2019
<:implying:589103384699863050> pays double MSRP for New-Old Stock
<:implying:589103384699863050> Uses buggy, amateur-made software to run it

https://tenor.com/M2mS.gif

Matt why own or operate a ThinkPad
Why buy Xiaomi and use MIUI

just get a Galaxy lol

I have literally never had any bugs with rockbox

and the MSRP was $70

you're a liar, bitch, because I owned one too

I bought it brand new at Best Buy for 35 in like, 2008 or something

He's talking a different Sansa. I had the cheaper one, too.

https://www.cnet.com/reviews/sandisk-sansa-clip-plus-review/

>The Clip+ is available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB options for $39.99, $49.99, and $69.99, respectively.

>paying the goy tax for more built-in memory when it supported Micro SD cards
