Should I get a Xiaom mi Pad 4?

OR are there other better alternatives for tablets?

honestly the amazon devices are usually pretty hard to beat for price

The Fire HD 10? @Cad

amazon subsidizes the price on the assumption you'll use the tablet to buy stuff from amazon, subscribe to prime and all that, so it's hard price to beat

Oh, I don't have access to amazon. So I'm stuck with chinkshit

Whats the state of finding OEM parts for Xiaome phones like? I gotta replace my camera module on my A2

>sale not avaliable in: united kingdom

@timsandtoms they can be found on aliexpress

It'll say if it's the original part or a copy part

any cheap good knives?

Kiwi

@Tervy what

cheap good knives : kiwi kitchen knives

:P

@Chaim Goldstein i got the mi pad 4

honestly the best android tablet

it actually has a great build quality too

most android tablets are plastic shit

it's a dead market anyways

nobody uses tablet anymore except ipad

and google hasnt updated their tablet OS in ages

but if you got a niche use for it

why not

Is it MIUI or vanilla?

Mi Pad 4 is great, I agree

love mine

@timsandtoms MIUI by default, but I'd suggest unlocking BL and ROMing that fucker up ASAP.

There is no official global version so you buy china ROM, wait two weeks, unlock the bootloader and install either MIUI.eu or HavocOS (vanilla like but with more customization)

all the other roms have rather significant issues

although Pixel Experience has been picked up by a few guys again, so hopefully they'll fix the standing issues because that's my favorite ROM out there for anything

@Jignx apply for bootloader unlock today

oooooh nice

apparently the guys who picked up Pixel Experience for Mi Pad 4 are gonna try to make it "official" (though that doesn't mean a lot, just that the downloads etc will be from official PE website)

ok?

i applied for it

but I dont use it enough to want to change the rom tbh

well i mean

if you want to use google apps on the tablet

you'd be better off with something that has them included

the google play installer for china rom from my experience is extremely half assed and half of google apps won't work

weird

I tried buying something and it gave me an error

and my bank says there's no issues either

>>> Cole: the google play installer for china rom from my experience is extremely half assed and half of google apps won't work

CSC_7200015 I keep getting this error

my bank says nothing is wrong

I'm looking for some advice please. I lost my sunglasses this evening whilst walking the dog. They were quite nice, got them in some kickstarter years ago for around £50. I want to replace them for as little cost as possible. I'm looking for something akin to the RayBan Clubmaster.

im no sunglasses expert but quick search from other channels request history got me "Nautica N3610SP" and "MEXX 6311"

and probly jsut searching Ali for said model name gets you many hits

Thank you @Tervy

@rodders ZeroUV might have some copies (no experience on the site but same channel had that linked)

Did they recommend that site? I stumbled across it a few minutes ago but cannot retrace the link that got me there.

dunno really if it was recommendation or more like "check here"

I've found it, twas Reddit but the chap said they're good for the cost. Gonna give it a shot.

I'm grateful for the hasty response @Tervy , you're a gent.

Assuming I haven't broken the law there (misgender).

NP (and who gives F* about genders that shit does not belong to internet)

It was a half-assed attempt at humour dawg

i know :P

If you haven't, I recommend the new Chapelle show. It's a giggle...

The Netflix thing causing a bit of a stir, there's a good few gaffs.

hmm how is this backpack

expensive

ok\

know any good large capacity bags which can hold like 50kgs

?

same

I need one that can hold a 17" laptop

that's like 50 kg

Does like nice though

tigernu or mark ryden

hmm

I can vouch for Tigernu being of good quality

@Jignx

mark ryden has a better design

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32788138771.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33041260440.html

hmm which one do I pick

I like the second one

That expandability looks comfy

yeah but only the 19 inch one expands

Don't tell me you WANT to be a Baglet

I got this a few weeks ago

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32767517443.html?

It looks big but doesn't have a lot of space

@androidcrawler bags are measured in liters for reason... 50kg is alooot of weight what you dont want to haul around

It would require high denier condura, reinforced stitches darn well planned handle design just to make such thing

(If you fill that 50kg with sand for example)

There exists power/endurance lifting bags for those weights buy prepare to pay out of your ass

You are pretty much buying punching bag turned to bag

The thickness of the stitching would be insane

Its huge,akward and ugly but it does the job

And not aesthetic at all

And that just for 50kg static weight, dynamic impulses from running/walking with it give quite bit extra stress the stitching needs to hold

Buut yeah. 50kg unless you are carrying tons of metal objects or lead... Why on earth would you need such loads

Yikes

My backpack is like 36l and I never really need its full load

50 kg is like ballistic vest with plates+ whole army getup with 3day bag

Stuffed inside single bag

That being said stuff like loaderframes what hunters use for deer meat could be option

Or ILBE bags

Thats about your options

@androidcrawler The Marine ILBE packs, 2nd and 3rd Gen. The Kelty Eagle.

And mysteryranch stuff too

Anyone bought a down sleeping bag from China?

But money.money money

Anyone own a Naturehike or Ageismax sleeping bag?

Thoughts on this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33034554227.html

one sec let me show you my current bags thats dying from the weight

my current load is 13 kg max but I want something I can really abuse

Get a Maxpedition Duffel

@Aqualiteking Naturehike is high quality chink but not high quality enough to have warranties

I'd rather just get two products from other companies for the same price

plus I shove a whole razor 2013 blackwidow keyboard in there too

Sleeping bags should be easy to do down to like 20F or maybe -5C. For anything colder I think you should stick with real brand names

Any time you rely on chinks for health and safety you're probably making a mistake

I was thinking of getting a custom leather bag made

Why

Just sounds like an easy way to get a shittily made bag

cause where I live it would be cheaper than buying a 300 dollar military bag

My $300 military bag isn't as good as my $65 civilian bag

please remember that I managed to get customer shoes made fro like

30 bucks

to due currency differences

Sleeping bags are no fucking joke dude

You will fucking die if you go out in the cold with a shit bag

Leather is not a particularly strong insulator and you ain't getting a fur sleeping bag for less than a good synthetic one

oh, the purpose is not to sleep inside it

just to carry lots of stuff

I was talking about sleeping bags bruh

Leather bags whatever

Won't last long and probably have shit storage capabilities but who cares

Chinese leatherwork is cheap as shit

But you wanted a large capacity bag @androidcrawler ?

For what purpose?

If backpacking, leather is a big nono because of shitty weight ratio and poor weight distribution

I meant carrying large weights around

I know

Doing what

well since I want a bag to abuse I guess hiking needs would be a good standard

No

What exactly do you need a 50kg bag for

also i was going to get it make from a local leatherworker

carrying shit to my workplace

but something I could use in general

The fuck are you carrying on your back that weighs 50kg

as I said before my current max load is around 10-13kg

but I want something future proof

just in case

The only thing that is really gonna hold that kind of weight without fucking up your back or falling apart is a proper military rucksack

Not chink

The kind you pay up for

10-13kg anything can do that

https://www.maxpedition.com/collections/travel/products/ironstorm-adventure-travel-bag-62l-closeout-final-sale?lshst=collection

this

?

Weak frame if any

If you're going to put anything heavy in there it's going to be worn via the shoulder sling

And don't do that it's shitty

Look when you go hiking you want to minimize weight

But have a pack with high volume to store your shit

Good tents and sleeping bags occupy the same space but with less weight

Bags are designed with this in mind

Weight-bearing packs either have really tough internal frames or external frames

I see, so I am looking for a pack with a strong frame first and foremost

If you don't actually need to carry 50kg then don't plan on it

If you want a super strong pack look into high grade western rucksacks

Or old alice packs on ebay

You can get giant and reliable us army rucks for like $70 on ebay

Not assault packs - ones like this https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303131785103

Or similar designs

I'm US Army, I know what we have. Other countries have these or their own variants.

thanks for the advice man

But like honestly

If you walk around with that huge thing without needing to

You're gonna look like a tool

So just get a normal backpack if all you need to carry is 15kg

hmm, you make a good point, I was thinking of getting two then

one for 50 kg and one for 20kg

I have my ruck, my regular backpack, and a chink hiking pack on the way

Ruck easily usable for hiking but expensive if I lose or break it

for love of god what ever you do dont get old alice bags

they are torture devices straight from hell

specialy compared to current generation frames

@androidcrawler what are you using your bag for?

carrying around loads

of what

how far

how much? (volume)

I posted a pic of a bag earlier

it gets pretty much full

So you're taking this to the gym?

or is it just a travel bag

i mean its near impossible suggest good form back unless we know if its large bag of sand, bulky electronics, soft clothes, 1L pouches of water , your 50kg semen bottle collection etc you are carrying in it

bulky electronics

lunch bags

coffee equipment

multi screwdriver kit with tips

tissues

water bottle

3 knives

3 tweezers

vape kit

reported for burglary

nail trimmer

so burglary/work bag got it

not a Bulgar bag

how far do you need to carry your stolen items?

and a few other items

a few hundred meters

back and to car or forest trail?

just get another duffel bag

but mine broke

yeah something with 1000 preferably 1200+ Denier fabrics(polyester most likely)

I think they are not durable enough

oh

sidebags for organization

will be large as fuck but can haul the load

not really backbag

I am so autistic I carry around a coffee bean grinder and a french press

because I like fresh coffee

also id suggest checking for "rolling duffel bags"

as you want it to be nice and less stress to your legs and arms

work smart not hard kind of case

there also exists drop-bottom duffelbags

but they are next level of worktool hauling

brb going to pack salt into ulcers

what the fuck

less painful than this convo tbh

you have better ideas for hauling bullshit ? :D

For "heavy weight" I'm usually using this https://www.asmc.com/Transport/Backpacks/Backpacks/Backpack-PLCE-DPM-used-p.html

I used it to carry 30+ kg for a few days

Got an aluminium frame, and a solid waist buckle

+ 2 removable side pockets in case you don't need those at the moment

Depending on the density you could probably shove 50+ kg inside I guess (I reached 30 kg by only using the main central part)

IT HAS ARRIVED

T12 solder station :)

yaay

spilled water on my aula f2012 and now its dead, any other good keyboards out there?

@Dai are you looking for something specific? size, switch, etc

you can look through here but it needs some updating

<https://g-csg.github.io/keyboards.html>

@Dai water doesn't kill 9/10 electronics, unless you do dumb things like leave them on for long
