tho managed to get money back due custom lied on it

they tried to be smart with China export bullshit

but advertised it with CE-certificate

Oh, I ordered a butterfly knife from the US. It arrived but I didn't realized pivot screws weren't included. I've also bought like 4 chink knives.

so ali forced them to pay me back whole sum

(in the end i managed to fight the device from customs too as "to get it validated"

but fuck that noise as it was not for business use)

Oof

but that customs shit took me months

I had some trouble importing a phone from Japan. I wasn't told I would have to cover customs costs.

It ended up being about £25 but they held it for an extra week which was annoying.

If the knife does end up being bad I hope I can remove the pivot screw from it.

I can't find anywhere that sells them.

I've been looking for over a year for the right ones but I can only find american sellers that charge ~£45 for shipping on £3 screws.

picture of screws

@Greytide or just the length

quickly checking i can throw 3/16 (4.8mm) or 1/8 (3.2) mm pivot pin links to you

if this is the shit you are looking for

https://lbda.net/crb.png

They look like the kind I need.

I have no idea the exact size I need though.

Fucking finally they came

Oooh the planars!?

@Ayingott how are they?

Out of the box, already better than my headphones

deep and clean lows, highs are very delicate

very uniform overall

Feels like I have over ears

in a compact package

Just get MH755

Smfh

Or moondrop spaceship

Or moondrop grand kanas

Final audio E2000

or tin p1s

Don't know how the shipping is now, but when I preordered them like 3 months ago, it was supposed to come at the beginning of august

was delayed into hell

Z really hit the nail on the head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ8_D_K6wJQ

The only problem is the flimsy cable out of the box

but that can easily be fixed

Are those Planar drivers?

No it just says planar as a joke

🤢 z reviews

No seriously tho

Most "Planar" are hybrids

"shill reviews"

True or false: AliExpress always have better price/cheaper than Banggood

false

at times certain products indeed are cheaper at other plantforms than ali

hell at times amazon is cheaper than ali for same stuff :D

and thats lot to say about amazonde

@makhar False. I have bought HSS-Cobalt drill bits off Bandgood for cheaper.

yet another thing shitty ali has disabled from adblock etc users

you cant browse more products than the tab number 1

either to do with 3rd party script blocking or adblock or something else

what im trying to say with my tired brain https://lbda.net/4Wh.png they made it so that these do nothing

also now they force you into cookies instantly

Honestly I'd not bother all that much and just use a private session at that point

And just copy paste links to products into my 'real' browser when I need to pay for them

its just principle of things really

i do all my shopping in separate browser anyway

but the fact that you cant even browse what to buy

just does not make business sense to me that much

Yeah, I'm fine with cookies and stuff, but adblocker, man...

Just use container tabs

also, arent there anti-adblock workarounds?

not for ali really specialy if the breakage happens due script blocks

at least ones that i know

if they dont want my money i order it somewhere else

i shouldnt need to not block ads on your site

considering ali downloads (when limited to just their main adresses 23ish scripts and then thirdparty stuff what loads other sites for more scripts on top of that

fuck off

well what adblocker/browser do you use

its pretty much irrelevant if it is indeed due generic blocklists

this

i mean this problem has been forever

they just test water all the time with the timeout delays how long until they force you to login

to disabling when its search, when its categories

tervy did you also have the problem like a week ago where you get forced to login when you search

and now the "more items" tab

and verify identity

not verify identity thangod

i havent logged in for months tho

it was just the swipe

but still

literally wtf

i just want to look up the price of a battery aliex why do I have to

but it still does force the login after X time or searches done

it does it immediately now

as soon as I can search

instantly PLEASE LOG IN

for me it gives few searches every now and then

and then once I log in it gets stuck in a redirect loop

tho i autoclean cookies on page close and other stuff

and i dont allow service workers etc at all what might be part of it why it allows me to search *

anyway they deserve their special place in hell just next to the web-pages what dont know how to show pictures without .js

Just rediscovered my R code from my first summer internship

It's hella dirty

but does it compile

yeah

it does data analysis for kiwifruit

then no complains there

:P

>meatandbeans

what

dat meat and beans tho

:P

I cannot link the source code, because it has my real name

understandable

(also <#531212403858472967> like last 5 mins too :P)

oh true

My original chinese design model kit arrived

Totally not Titanfall

I agree, it's not

There are knockoff titans, but not by this company

Oh those look cool actually

How much are they

they run about $17 or so

i bought that one for $20

off ebay, then a week later i found one on ali for $15

got it in a different color, but it hasnt come in yet

they are modular so you can recombign the pieces to make different stuff

it comes with all these bits and you can put them together however you want

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two hit me with a link for that knockoff gunpla

the thing i posted a pic of?

its not a knockoff *or* a gunpla

No, the one I gleaned from mind-reading

idiot

Fuck you

well you asked for somthing other than waht was posted so i felt i should clarify

I'm gonna spank you

>it's cheaper to ship chink shit to america instead

????

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

the battery law with canada is weird

i've never had issues getting phones and stuff but like, obviously laptop batteries and some vaping stuff are out of the question

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32825158826.html

just ordered xiaomi laptop fans

to repair my xiaomi laptop

how did it break

I stuck a screwdriver in it

🤔

I've been using the laptop for like 3 years now all over the world

I dropped it and it's dented and stuff

how is it holding up

and for the past month or so it's been making whining noises on the fan

which I tried to clean with compressed air

and WD40

and I tried using a screwdriver to see if any dust is in there

but it stopped working

and now my laptop's CPU throttled and doesnt work anymore

since it's way too hot

otherwise i've been using it for years

it's still a great little laptop

and aftermarket parts is cheap as dirt

how much power is USB-C allowed to draw

im looking at docks and hubs

can it really power all those USB devices

USB-C can allow up to 100W

https://www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

hmm why does anyone need more than 10,000 mAh for power banks

they're so slim and small nowadays

anything bigger is too heavy

@Jignx it's called the Bill of rights, not the Bill of needs

I haven't charged my battery in 2 weeks and there's still enough to charge my phone 3 times

Can your 10k mAh battery do that

yea actually

3000 mAh (average phone battery size) times 3 is 9000 mAh

>implying 100% efficiency

Isn’t it less than 10k mAh because they state the capacity at like 3V instead of 5V?

Not even taking efficiency into account

you don't state ah at a voltage

that's why it's amp hours

and what voltage do you think the phone's battery is

I know jackshit about electrical engineering, let me try to find that one blog post I read.

https://blog.banggood.com/the-secret-marketing-trick-behind-powerbank-capacity-29982.html

yeah, but that's half the story

inside the phone it's converted back to 4.2 or less, whatever the charging voltage is

so you're drawing less current from the power bank at 5V

main losses are inefficiency

not that those efficiencys matter that much as long as our phone hardware/software is as inefficient as it is

but "mah performance" over longevity of etc etc

(that being said current chips are darn low voltage when you start playing with em its just that the software is shitty "we dont care" coded mess what does not let phones etc sleep properly nor act "nice" )

And it still does what it should do. Charge your phone, camera, gopro, dildo, etc

@Tervy no, dipshit, it matters plenty. I know you like to ramble on about random shit to sound smarter than you are, but literally nobody was talking about the software side of things. Smh

@Matthew plz go be american somewhere else i was just saying that the energy usage for the transforming voltage is so minimal that in the end it wont show anywhere on normal use

Is there a good, small, china projector

Secondly any good pens i should know about

is there any powerbank that is accurate

and tell you the real capacity

I was thinking of buying a shell and then shoving high capacity cells inside

also I ordered some cells and the seller was refusing to ship them

saying I should cancel my order with "other " reason

and if I did not I would have to wait 30 days for my order

today was the last day and it would have gotten cancelled autmoatically

and guess what, it's shipped

aaand it's being shipped to israel

what the fuck

:D

he just threw random shipping data* `to ali

It's dispute time

charge back

can't, have to wait 10 days

Says who, your credit card company? Or ali? @androidcrawler

aliexpress

Fuck aliexpress

Contact your credit card company the moment you believe you've been chinked

I have a debit card

So call your bank

Yeah aliexpress has no part in a charge back, it is solely between you and your financial institution

ill just dispute and lower the sellers ratings

Based, willing to put off your money just to fuck the seller 👌

Only thing I've really been buying lately is enamel pins

Gonna make my backpack cringy as fuck

👍

sounds like india's moon lander is now just a little poo smear on the surface

@Matthew you'll be talk of the class with those powerpuff girls pins!

<:soy:589104157248585749>

PPG was great

Anybody have any recommendations for mock incandescent lightbulbs?

Are there any sales coming up in the US?

I am looking to buy a tramping bag, and it's currently on sale for 25% off, and I don't know if I should buy now, or wait till another holiday sale pops up in the USA?

@androidcrawler I never get accurate tracking data from Aliexpress.

black friday

Black Friday is a meme

@Aqualiteking I used 17 track and cainiao

@Matthew prepare for losing them

@apool why's that

I've lost the ones I bought, one puncturing me in the back

I should invest in some locking backs

Like $8 on Amazon for 50

nice pins btw

anyone here own a xiaomi kettle?

i'm interested in getting one

Is there anything xiaomi doesn't make

weapons ?

yet*

@foxhunt i don't think they have washing machines yet

Dammit should have trusted my gut.

Now I miss out on the 25% discount

And the next sale is in October and that's when the new GST laws come in place

Are the laws going to be US only or Canada as well
