as far as i quickly understood you open the lamp to internet "wlan mode whatever its called on the app settings"

and from there you can use thirdparty stuff to do what ever you want

smartest thing probly is to turn them on when your phone is in wlan and turn them off if you set your phone on NFC tag or your phone goes away from wlan

i find automatic lights horrible tho~

aka use IFTTT or Tasker kind of stuff

if its even possible on scrublights

I see

guess I'll order one or two

when 11.11 comes by

@Zika of the 2 watches i purchased from ali, they have both broke without me using them much

ie forgot in a drawer for months

@Jignx funnily enough i know multiple ways to automate this problem on sane stuff but "smart devices" with no proper open api ? no idea of their "features" as id personaly stay hell away from them

i got a casio terrorist watch off taobao for like $3 and it runs fast

They are worthless for taking time

I got one and it was a week ahead after sitting for a month

Also the “stainless steel” is super bad compared to a real one. Smells like salty coins and milk

Real ones cost like $8-9 <:thonk:288060975775612929>

help

just got my first android phone after 5 years of using wp

why is it so cluttered and full of shitty apps

i just want a youtube app without ads

like the equivalent of mytube but for android

i haven't seen any ads on my wp phone the entire time i had that phone

install customer rom

also get newpipe

instead of using official app

i tried using it but i cant login

on my channerl

also using ymusic, its the closest thing but it has ads

newpipe has no logins

root and block ads <:radturt:499289662641143808>

thanks

now

how2root

SkyTube I heard was decent, FOSS YouTube app that lets you “subscribe” and keep favorites without an account

Maybe you can log in to it too?

lemme check

And depends on your phone how to root really

yeah, im reading the wiki

jesus

mytube was so perfect im missing it

I'll give you my tube

yeah i see my feed on skytube

but how do i comment n shit

Hmm, gonna guess it just syncs your subs but doesn’t give you a means to log in

yeah

i literally had to buy a new phone because >whatsapp is being murdered on december for wp

aww

literally no other reason

<#527849695020580866>

k

wp?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P9767JQ

this looks neat, cheap hotswap keyboard compatible with gateron

@eggy good to know, been worrying about that tbh

@Actually a frog bro people just use youtube vanced now

just get the one that you can login

it doesnt let me login

yes i have installed the plugin

https://www.xda-developers.com/youtube-vanced-apk/

just install micro G

and tehn a version of Vanced

Is there something similar to cyanogenmod for current Xiaomi phones?

Cyanogen has been dead for years

Lineageos is the successor

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33012933276.html

woah xiaomi makes slippers?

A subsidiary of xioami makes slippers, which are then sold under the xioami brand

yeah yeah I know that

Isn't Google banning people because of cracked YouTube APK's?

Newpipe is still best

when has google ever banned someone for installing an APK not on the app store?

>footlet sizes only

its what spotify did with dogfood or whatever

Stinky chinky feet

is there a chink solution for coins

I seem to get a lot of coins all the time

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33037356898.html

something like that or a coin sorter & rolls

@Actually a frog @Jignx Just use NewPipe. Completely Open Source. Has all the features. Can subscribe to channels without using an account. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/

i use both

but Youtube vanced is more user friendly

since it's essentially the youtube app but hacked to add in the premium features

Newpipe usability is way better but it sometimes doesnt play some shit then i fall back to vanced

sometimes I just wanna listen to the audio and use newpipe to stream the audio only

or download videos using newpipe

but general use like casting and youtube recommendations from all the channels I sub to

I use vanced

only thing it misses is casting, yes

@Millwood change the resolution. That fixes that for me.

Skytube has casting, the apk maintainer changed, and the new guy is having problems acquiring API keys.

so it is not as reliable as newpipe.

i dont think newpipe even uses youtube api

No, it just crashes on some videos @Aqualiteking

Yeah that used to happen quite often to me on older builds 0.14-0.16, but since 0.16.1 and onwards this rarely happens

Nah I said Skytube needs youtube's API keys to work.

For me it just happens once every while

Doesn't matter what build, it eventually has crashes

Then I update and it works for 90% of vids again

<#527849695020580866> guys (Also who knew that updating your app keeps it working well)

any good cheap winter coats on aliexpress

get a duck down puffer jacket

anyone familiar with ultrasonic dog repellers

do the cheap ones you get on ali actually work as good as the ones you buy in a store

ahh the ultrasonic repellers "it it does not drive away it makes them really mad"

also do note: you own hearing is in danger too with them so threat them as such

ultrasonics devices suck

they make annoying high pitched noises

not fun at all

please do not use

too many EOD courses/gun range hours and you wont worry about the ultrasonic whine anymore :D

makes it more fun to have those arc-lighters what whine like mad (hell even i can hear some of the cheaper ones)

waifu gets mad when ever i even plan to use it :D

>not using proper ear protection

but oh i do

>don't worry about the whine anymore

that means you are getting pounded in your ears

get better protection

use ear muffs and ear inserts

and active noise cancellation

and expensive suppresors

and shoot in an outdoor range to eliminate sound bouncing off walls

so as i said dont worry about whine anymore

My La Croix pin came, and it is much bigger than I originally expected

Also, the TIGERNUT is complete

>collecting pins

AuTiSm

@Matthew nice, I got a pin yesterday too

my measurement tape tape came

8/10 it was accurate to the mm within meter but leeches color from numbers with friction :---D

compared to 20x more expensive one measurement tool :D

hallo

ive been doing my dipute with with the redmi note 8 pro

i gotta ship it back to spain to get my money back

after all this shit is done im never using aliexpress again

whats wrong with it

serial numbers dont match, 64 gb intenal memory when i paid for 128, sketch rom

swag phone

i should yeet it off my balcony before i return it

thats how you not get it disputed

hmmm

i thought about mailing a brick instead

Funny how all the people who claim to have gotten chinked are always dishonest ratfucks

@super nintendo chalmers fwiw, in 200+ orders, I've only not gotten what I wanted like, 3 times

ive made about 50 orders but this phone was my biggest purchse

english is nniet my first language

I see

@Tervy based diabase

phone is met post nl and going back to spain

eat shit aliexpress

🆗

@super nintendo chalmers what seller did you buy it from

what about great phone prices on ali on 11.11 - what's the catch?

mediatek

@Windatica friend did you get the astrolux?

ye

How is it

its a flashlight

<:pepeturt:499291994649133067>

im not an expert so i can't say anything remotely useful but

sometimes i turn it on somewhere between medium and ramp ceiling and its brighter than the 4 800 lumen bulbs in my room

i can literally just point it straight up and it lights up my whole room better than my ceiling lights

Fun

Did you start fires with it for fun?

no but i probably could

it gets really hot on turbo

I'm thinking of getting one seeing as there's a 5k option on ali

i really only bought it because of the usb-c, which i still havent gotten to testing if it actually does proper usb-pd

And I expect it to be less hot than d4

I don't need USB c but I find it a welcome extra

For the price it's very good

i mean, im not an autist, i dont like the fact that ive spent $30 on a flashlight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnwnut7VjBE

Yeah I get it

also the tailcap physical lockout is kinda strange

I wouldve gotten emisar already but it's $45 plus shipping and I'm not that autisic I think

Why?

if you twist the tailcap ever so slightly it'll disable the flashlight, its smooth and almost feels like a knob and doesnt twist *super* easily but id like it so that the user would have to twist it a little bit further to lockout

Both ways?

no

Cause it would be dangerous if if easily went back

it hasnt been an issue yet and the tailcap is firmly on the "on" position but i would much rather like a quarter or half turn to lockout and not like a 5 degree turn

Yeah that sounds a little annoying

🤔

>macul

is it a good idea to get a diesel generator or huge rechargeable battery from aliexpress

If you have to ask

It's better to buy that stuff locally

redmi note 8 pro - no?

rechargeable batteries might be cheaper, depending on what you're buying

if you mean something like a car battery, then you're better off buying local because of the shipping

uh guys

first time aliexpress won't accept a dispute

https://i.imgur.com/kEStJ7n.png

what's the solution

lol just got the email

so I have to wait for the protection time to run out to open a Dispute even if the package was delivered to the wrong country?

damn got chinked hard

https://i.imgur.com/oyIEnH4.png

it do be like that

My mi 9t just decided to randomly go back to default theme

Goddamn it xiaomi

fucken redmi note 8 pro: yay or nay? 190 bucks

why is everybody obsessed with flashlights? genuinely curious

dont you have a led on your phone

Just use your phone

Lmao

Doesn't everyone have a phone?

because a phone light puts out fuck all light compared to flashlights

Dont you guys have phones lmao

@the_cook get a good flashlight and you'll understand the hype

I recommend a convoy s2+ or Sofirn sp32a for baby's first chinklight

no i mean what do you need so much light for while cooped up in your basement

not everyone likes to live like you and some people have dogs to walk, cars to fix, power outtages to endure~ generaly Good flashlight is potential life saver in many occasions

What do you mean everyone doesn't live the way I do

is there any good flashlight i can keep in my car that can also serve as a baton

@Zika maglite, though not chink, will be a perfect baton

they sell LED drop in modules for the older ones and I THINK the new ones are LED

but the old ones also ran off D cell batteries and needed like fucking 6

if you need chink, I can vouch for Convoy L6

2x 26650 flashlight with great output and enough beef and size to kill someone (probably, officer)

sometimes you might just need to beat someone up ykno

I'll look em up, thanks

alternatively just buy a telescopic baton with a flashlight module at the end @Zika 😂

(you probably need a loicense for this in the UK because self defense doesn't exist)

not sure if those are legal here, I'd have to look into it

thanks for the tip

@gecho i do i mean a big rechargeable battery ,i got one from amazon for like $180 with 212 ampere-hours but im wondering if i could get better value

not on aliexpress

shipping of batteries has gotten more restricted because of the whole exploding samsung phone thing

Does eBay count as chinkshit? Well I ordered a suspiciously cheap replacement "upper case" for my friend with a broken palm rest on his laptop that had no picture.

It claims to come with a new keyboard and track pad. Don't need it but hey, if it does that's a nice bonus

I'll keep you updated on my adventures in getting a box filled with dirt and six torx screws

yes, some chink shit is cheaper on eBay than Ali when considering the same product

see: $3 mmcx cables
