the main things

inb4 refunds half of that because doesn’t work and gets banned

Ryzen 2600 + RX 580 8gb with 8gb DDR4, 1TB SSD

And a UmiDigi Power 3 phone

oh shit

I'm getting the Case and PSU from a "real" supplier though

thanks for reminding me, iw anted to build a PC to put in my equipment rack, i need to look at what parts i still need

Everything is MaxSun brand except the GPU/CPU which are used from CPU TOP

and a Snowman cooler because the 2600 doesn't come with one

i guess what i need is everything becasue i cant find my box of old pc parts

@lidl papi if it doesn't work I'll totally just refund everything and get banned idgaf

10 hour delay on the sorting line

That's one big pile of crap to sift through

Oh boiis what's this

What could it be

Wow! It's a cup of measuring

@kylemd 64GB model is $455 if that's more enticing

It is a bit

Wew

<:blobsweats:427568683003412505>

@Droidbot MM3 5G is $900+ through JB

And authorised xiaomi retailers in Australia

JB have it for $700 now

but TobyDeals has had it at $450 for like a good couple weeks, and that's taxes included

It's the same product, both are imported from HK, so /shrug

I've bought a phone for a mate successfully from TobyDeals, they seem alright

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000179658201.html?spm=a2g0o.tm31111.5622956250.6.753e46b7SGPUu4

Anyone have experience with this phone?

is there any guide to not getting chinked for SD cards? I know how to tell if they're bad using software, but what brands/sellers should I avoid/prefer?

1) just buy from amazon because they're only like 2% more expensive

a fug

yeh

I own several sharks but they are never near their rated speed, and they're about the same price as amazon or newegg anyway

<:mixza_shark:230982717200793600>

shark'd

@Medicine Man Mediatek, especially from a microbrand makes it essentially grounds for no custom roms

so is trash it but that's on you

@simon If you're in the US, don't buy flash memory or any of your main PC parts from China, there's zero savings. Peripherals/USB gadgets, excluding good mice, are fine to get there.

Think the same holds true for most non-shithole countries.

i've seen the samsung microsd cards cheaper on amazon.de than ali

so probably

@Droidbot not really, JB is local stock

Xiaomi Australia is a thing now

Also

@DarkWorld25 What?

They all get cheaper shit from China

@Medicine Man bad specs not worth it

i approach phones like a complete normie

if the it looks slick its cool

I still don't get why anyone would buy a chink phone when a used pixel 2 works perfectly fine

but yeah ill look for something better cheers

@Medicine Man what country you in?

New Zealand

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

Redmi Note 8 Pro Global is a good phone and will work with New Zealand networkbands

I'm also a poor university student

oh cool ill look into it cheers

What's your budget

@DarkWorld25 It's local stock, but it's still originally imported from HK, same units as Tobydeals

is getting raspberry pi from ali a good idea ?

I had a Meizu M6s but i dropped it in the toilet and now it doesnt charge <:kms:327934280619655179>

That's why it's only available in certain stores and whatever

and Xiaomi Australia is a reseller

Don't really have a budget but would prefer it to be on the cheap side

Should I just try repair my Meizu

That's why it's Mi-Store.com.au not mi.com/au

It's actually owned by PCByte

@Droidbot does Xiaomi Aus ship to NZ ?

...importing the same fucking stock as everyone else

You have a Xiaomi importer there, PB Tech

Oh right I thought you meant an official store

Xiaomi AU isn't official either

PB Tech is good, just wasn't sure if they're overpricing items

@Medicine Man oh wow, another kiwi

Neato

Nice

Btw, I brought my RN8P for NZD$318 and PB tech sells it for NZD$499

So yeah, it's a nasty markup

Was just looking at that phone

Where'd you get it, ali?

Yeah

Xiaomi Official Store

Sick, I'll check it out

Since 11.11 is over, you'd probably pay more

Which is a bit crappy

But oh well

Yeah no worries, I just used 11.11 for some cheap christmas shopping

It's about NZD$20 more though

Yo that link breaks Discord

Fix pls

Yeah haha

>to Mi

@Tervy#8357 send to you?

Yo that link converter breaks Discord

but it does not

(also ^ 404)

Yo that bot a bitch

it just kills the ref links

stop posting em and you are fine~~

I wanna share it with my countryman

Then don't share ref links lol

^also filing bug report about all ali app links being "referal" is good starting point too

:P

@Droidbot https://www.mi-store.com.au/xiaomi-launch-in-australia

they are official

>I still don't get why anyone would buy a chink phone when a used pixel 2 works perfectly fine
@Pawp Don't need to replace the battery to have good battery life, and I depending on seller and/or credit card used, there's a warranty. Plus more recent means they might get updates longer.

@PoliteSuka looks like the bot can't clean up certain links and it shits out that link which crashes the phone app

Man. I like how sometime chinkshit is on a boat in like. Five hours. And other times the tracking doesn't update till it gets handed to usps

@DarkWorld25 Doesn't mean they aren't grey importing it like everyone else is

There is a reason why the Xiaomi Official Store has the software in the ads in Chinese, because they're all HK stock.

lol rip

ok

Just because they're locally stored doesn't mean they're like

officially sourced from Xiaomi as a new region

fair

I mean like, its the first step

also, aussie carriers looking to carry vivo, xiaomi and oppo soon

Yeah hype

Optus has stocked Oppo for years though

They're gonna be hella overpriced but alas

I'm thinking of buying an electric-motorbike, does anyone know any good vendors for that sort of thing ?

That sounds like a good way to get dicked over by import fees and legal bullshit.

They don't really sell them here

But yeah might be a pain

Kinda set on the redmi note 8 pro at 260$. If you guys happen to see a deal ping me

@Medicine Man how are you going to insure it

for shipping ?

no, for driving

Just wait for Easter version

@Goz3rr Through AA, might be hard because im a student. Whats the issue i'd have with insurance though

nothing, it's just that most people forget it's required in most countries

https://retromimi.com/products/new-pocketgo

New version of chinky emulation handheld

Looks like a gamegear

Costs less than that shitty PSP running android some anon in the thread bought

@Goz3rr Not required here but you have to be very retarded not to have it

can't I browse aliexpress without an account?

when I search it asks me for a sign in

@Tribit it promises that it won't have the screen tearing the previous version has, along with 32 GB on board storage. Not too shabby tbh

It only having one analog nubbin makes me <:thvnk:332928260004642827> though.

@Rusty same

yeah same with me, sucks because ali logs me out everytime i close the tab

and the verification slider never fucking works

i've got a workaround

if you're using google (which you shouldn't be) you can do
`site:aliexpress.com [search term you want]`
obviously without the brackets

doesn't work for finding specific items right there but it gives you the link to the results page

@Medicine Man @lidl papi

I use StartPage so can't do that but cheers man

@Rusty these also force me to login and often give captcha

🤔

might be a you thing

do you have resist fingerprinting on?

anything similar to that (i think "do not track"?) defers cookies and shit

which in turn doesn't let them track you, but also doesn't let them verify your identity 100%

since your pc looks different every time

its just ali asshole coding

even if vanilla browser and using straight url and search from aliexpress.com

it still locks down after X jumps, faster if you use tabs

@Matthew did you see that piece of shit that anon bought?

that dude was pulled to it because of its PSP 'aesthetic'

$100 in the toilet

No, I didn't.

He could have gotten an actual PSP for that.

@Matthew or a vita

>JZ4770 🤢
Do they even make this anymore or do they just have spare chips that they figure they can make bad emulation machines out of

The performance tests they showed don't look that bad tbh

Also USB C

Did he post the Ali link for his phone

So we can laugh at the specs more accurately

I found it

>Android 4.2

>MTK 6592

That is

OLD old

Retro CSG level stuff, from when it was an infographic passing around iOcean phones

Much’d

Rip Jiayu and iOcean tbh

worked well for china

what could go wrong

Waiting for this phone is gonna ruin me

When I least expect it, the parcel will update the status and I'll have a mini heart attack

As you do

when I ordered my 9t a few months ago they made me wait a couple of weeks before shipping it

it annoyed me a lot since I overpaid for DHL shipping

heh

@Pawp Some Pixel 3 units are exhibiting Nexus 6P-like early shutdown problems

That's why people but chink phones over used pixels

also the pixels don't have headphone jacks

Also pixels shipped without an OS

<:rolf:589102490696548371>

so no google spyware

🤔

nah probably Google spyware baked into the hardware firmware and blobs tbqh

got another transformer in the mail, i think it shrank in the wash

sir this is a toy

indeed it is

can it drive

you can scoot it around your desk with a finger, but it is unable to drive

@foxhunt I specifically change my DHL shipping to Aliex Shipping specifically to avoid tariffs

ah an EU citizen I see

it worked for me btw

no import tax

once it was dispatched it too 3-4 days to arrive really

oh wait I chose dhl to avoid tax

nvm

No

I'm a New Zealander

oh

well can't help you there

My father once accidentally order via DHL once

Couldn't understand why he was being asked for NZD$25 at the door

He snatched the parcel from the guy and told him to fuck off

Because there had been bad actors in the past who scam people for non existent tariffs

I think the follow up calls he received were legitimate DHL calls, but he thought they were the same scammers

Eventually they just wrote him off

lol

I guess things are more lax in hobbit land

Yeah, the current law allows for NZD$400 import per consignment without tariffs

Next month the stores will need to include GST on all online purchases

Which is 15%

So I'll see the costs rise a bit on Aliex

based dad

<:30yo:589183955752845332>

`Yeah, the current law allows for NZD$400 import per consignment without tariffs`

nah this is wrong

they charge gst depending on what type of item it is.

But I was already covering this topic over a month ago, adn you didn't listen. 😡

evading tax is not only my right but my responsibility

I got myself one of those myobraces

I wonder how well they work

you trust some chink with your teeth?

I'm paying top chink for some rubber

So yeah

Those are copies of the ones they sell for hundreds of dollars at orthodontist practice

@Aqualiteking are you the Kiwi?

yeah nah
