@Jignx sex toys

YET

I mean you can shove a vibrating toothbrush or shaver in your asshole

I guess that counts

Xiaomi is great

Razor thin profits

Puts all the money into r&d

Hires other companies to make things for them

>wanting thin phones

enjoy your bend gate

how about an actual bulky phone with lots of features like removable battery with actual waterproofing with screws and gaskets

that is easy to repair]

the two don't mix

fully waterproof + removable battery

yes they do

screws and gaskets

dont you know of a go pro

ah yes that's why there's plenty such phones

you nob

buy a waterproof case

go pros has special cases that make them waterproof

don't you think my proposed solution is good

sealed phones are cancer tbh cause you cant hard reset them

and the battery dies and then ur fucked

yeaa

yup

it's either you get a fully waterproof phone or a removable battery

i have the pixel 2 after 2 years the battery is starting to go down

but not both

even worse is when it starts to expand

i may research if i can send it in to replace battery

yea but then your seal gets compromised

ive only had aftermarket batteries expand on me

idc about waterproof so much

gaskets seems better cause you can replace them

and get a tighter seal with actual screws

but that means phones last longer and people will not buy yearly releases

@androidcrawler where did the thin phones thing come from?

I read your comment as razor thin phones

and went into an autistic rage

That's better

Anyways waterproofed phones are great

I can go to the beach

Or the pool

gaskets

do you swim with your phone???

Or wash my phone

for the 500th time

Or in the shower

>shower

how addicted are you to your phone

I don't know how I lived without water resistant phones

>

autism

I put on a YouTube video and place it in the soap holder

And shower with music or a YouTube video

Is it that outrageous?

Music is nice while showering but a YouTube video is a bit much

YouTube plays music

ive played music while in the shower but i left my phone on like a window ledge

I also use my phone on the sitter

@Jignx is this you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0ocp0RSfdo

Shitter

You didn't say play some music on YouTube, you said a YouTube *video*

Then I wash my phone with soap

Implying you're watching something

God damn autocorrect, why would I ever say "I'm plying"

Would anyone be saying I'm plying in a normal situation?

Dumb autocorrect

@Jignx "I'm plying my trade"

He specifically said a normal situation

print a gun

What's the best chink laptop for $300-500

It doesn't need to have a gpu or apu, it's for my mom so she just needs something that works

@potato farmer check out techtablets

he does reviews on chink tablets and laptops

Thanks fren

Anyone have any experience with Chinese cordless stick vacuums?

Just curious how well they fare compared to something like a Dyson

*they suck*

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two

i dont understand

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two Matthew thinks it's funny to ironically enjoy poop and Garfield sexually.

I see

link

@Julian alright fucko i got the lights

lemme get nude real quick and i'll go and try to set them up with the xiaomi gateway

gimme a min

alright it doesn't seem to pick it up yet, lemme try the other 3 e27 bulbs listed

anyway to get a coupon for this?

@Julian no dice, none of the bulbs i got connect

it keeps saying "please update gateway" but there's no update available

oh well, guess I'll go and get zigbee2mqtt

Are u still alive

yea

so what i'm guessing is that tradfri only works on chinese firmware

which I don't have

that's what i told you

Shame <:pepeturt:499291994649133067>

I'm just gonna order a CC Debugger and a CC2531 off ali and call it a day

you can do it with an arduino too if you have one

saves a few $

instead of the debugger i mean

not the CC2531

i have one but it's somewhere in an unmarked box in the basement

did aliexpress change their layout or something?

also anyone here own a mi tv box s

ali changed a bunch of UI stuff some months ago, but the rollout was kinda slow or based on your history/cookies etc

I seem to have everything new now

Search was not that badly affected on the overhaul no worries. (its stilll accurate and usable unlike amazon these days...)

i wouldn't call it super accurate but once you know the quirks it works fine

but fuck those chinese sellers that put an out-of-stock low value item on their listings though to make the items appear cheaper in the search results

well major thing they kind of unpatched was way around "banned" words on searches

i hope they end up time traveling to nanjing, 1938

also i really wish the aliexpress app didn't default to xiaomi phones when searching for xiaomi

>app .. eww

why

it works fine

other than the item description not unfolding all the time

why use app when the app if the web-page works as well on phones ...(the app is glorified web-browser anyway)

because the webpage doesn't work as well

for me it does.. at least for my uses .. they even fixed the search-autosuggestion bug

tho i would never buy or be logged in with my phone to ALI

sooo~

i mean i didn't get to 337 orders doing nothing

ah fuck I forgot it's national day this week

@🚂Quatroking🚂 (🇳🇱) "but fuck those chinese sellers that put an out-of-stock low value item on their listings though to make the items appear cheaper in the search results"

so like, every third seller? it's sad

@Tervy app gives cents of discounts <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

money money money

I wonder what girl wears this

@Matthew

Do we even have any girls(girl) here

This is an autistic server about online shopping on chink sites

So no

I mean there are some girl stuff there

like big rubber arms

Like arts and craft shit maybe

there used to be one but she was a boi :)

can i make it any more obvious?

Are you a 13 y.o. girl in 2002

@foxhunt you know where I was going with this, you're part of it

That song would trigger so many people today

XD

lmao tru

Still haven't read anything from AliExpress about accommodating for the new tax rule for online marketplaces

They might already be mitigating it

I saw some storefronts started using a different mail vendor

huh

girls dont use aliexpress

they use taobao

Or wish

any other chink magic like xiaomi phones that are literally better than the whole market

for the price*

The xiaomi toothbrush

<:radthonk:318079469376110597>

Or the xiaomi mi band

ever since i heard the term "wrist fedora" i cant do watches

chinese knives @neetdev

like pocket knives

they're becoming mainstream though

sanrenmu land 910 was like $12 at its lowest, now i think its $20+ everywhere

Probably best to ping the most knowledgeable person for random items on this server to answer that question

@timsandtoms

legit question what the heck do you use a knife for

like daily carry ones

i work in an office and commute by train so i guess im not exactly the type

I use mine for letter opening, cutting my nails, cutting other stuff on me (like if I get a splinter), etc

you cut your nails with a knife?

Yeah

like you carve em out?

jesus christ

With a sharp knife you can just cut in a straight line

do you drive a semi truck

They work well

No

i like the aesthetic of knives but i really dont need one

i guess a neat one for home would be alright

At least a few times a week I'll find a use for one

do you need a special tool to sharpen serated edges

Then again I'm autistic about knives

Not sure, I don't have any serrated blades

Thiugh I'd assume I could just use my whetstones

yea you need something like a sharpening rod

Got one of those, don't like how they can scratch the blade though

For my cheap knives I use it

For my good ones I use the whetstones

Not got the time to do all of them the long way

mi band 4 arrived

the music control is so nice

not having music control is the only thing i didnt like about the 3

so its pretty much *perfect* now

Any battery brands for Thinkpads that arent hot garbage? The one I got for my x230 off amazon started failing after a couple months

iirc the brand I bought was "LMK" but that was just a sticker over a "Cloundwind" logo

IMK

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck Sup?

I've been summoned.

@I Faw Down Buy a legit one for parts so you can get the charging circuit and replace the cells with crazy autistic flashlight batteries for quintuple battery life with enough amperage to jump start a medium size gas car engine.

Can I not do that with the non-legit battery I already have?

Probably fine

I've got the Lenovo one thats at like 60% of its original charge and the shit one at like 38%

I'm always unreasonably paranoid about cheap Chinese crap when it comes to batteries, since they fail rather catastrophically when they go

oi tims

i was enlightened by the good folks here about xiaomi phones and i was wondering if there was other chink shit that was miles ahead of the game price/perf wise

As long as you take the time to check behavior over a couple charge cycles you should be fine, everyone uses cheap Chinese charging circuits for their projects. Gotta make sure it stops when it's empty/full, and feeds in reasonable amount of volts/amps, but they're less delicate than people make them out to be.

@neetdev Depends. Price/performance, yes, performance alone, ehhh. Whatcha need, gadgets, tools, home decor bullshit, etc?

anything that stands out?

just general qol improvements

Well if you're here you're probably an antisocial autistic weirdo, so flashlights and keyboards are popular

Wireless earbuds too

got muh keyboard all set, flashlights i dunno

got a guide on wireless earbuds?

i mean china has the first usb-c fast charge flashlight

I've been summoned to discuss autistic Chinese shopping, do I seem the type to leave my house and need earbuds?

i dunno you mentionned them

i wish i didnt need to leave the house <:rolf:589102490696548371>

@Windatica What's the knockoff Olight styled lights, Onsomething

..waht

also wireless earbuds are in <#365921969004216320> in pinned posts @neetdev

On The Road, that's the brand. They make some neat EDC sized lights, Olight style

i had no idea magnetic phone cables were a thing

you keep the little dongle in the phone and it just snaps into the pre-connected cable

@neetdev one of those almost set my couch on fire

@Windatica fast charge usb c flashlight you say?

lel

They can get incredibly fucking hot during charging, be careful bruh

it doesnt get as hot as when it runs on high ramp brightness

which is one step below turbo

astrolux ec01

i need to get a tester to see if its actually doing real usb-c fast charging though
