$19 mil scam

god damn

it caused traffic jams while sitting there for months on that unused stretch of road
http://money.cnn.com/2017/07/04/technology/china-elevated-bus-teb-detain-arrests/index.html

what a joke

Haha of course

In one sentence answer this: why is china such a shit show in almost every aspect ?

"communism"
- USA

^

tfw china isnt even communist theyre capitalist. usa just likes to blame them saying "theyre just like the russians and russians are evil"

lol wow

It would be dangerous as hell anyway wouldnt it?

no worst than a tunnel

<:thenk:329322130804047872>

spooky

i dont understand this bitcoin mine shit

so you can get bitcoins by using hardware?

like "create money"

?

yes

and the hardware after some time becomes useless?

or?

no, there's just other newer hardware that's better

how is that good for the bitcoin economy? wouldnt that create inflation?

if everyone can just make money

bitcoins get harder to mine over time

wouldnt it be possible to someone to create some bullshit program that just makes bitcoins?

I think they work off a global blockchain so that isnt possible

you can make your own bitcoin yes

call it awfulcoin

then no one wants it so it's literally worthless

bitcoins are only worth what people are willing to pay for it

awfulcoin thread on /biz/ go

lfmao

for all intents and purposes it's not possible to create counterfeit bitcoin

what would even be the point

you know what

I'm making a new cryptocurrency called wei coin and I'll post it on /biz/

I'll tell everyone it's the new thing in china and then watch as they pump it

then I will chink everyone and dump everything for fiat

I already regret linking that video <:kms:327934280619655179>

isn't that exactly what the bus shuttle scam is

bitcoins are popular mostly because it's used in drug trade etc. illegal activities

also over hype by neckbeards

^^

it will never be widely adopted

what's the easiest way for someone to learn Mandrin? I'm a native english speaker now, and I'm near fluent in Spanish, but what would it take to master Mandrin?

easiest would probably differ for everyone, how did you manage to speak spanish?

but tbh i failed all 3 attempts to learn language so i shouldnt provide any advice hehe

bitcoins are also used in greece

anyone use taobao here?

specifically the second hand shit http://2.taobao.com/

there's this dude selling Raspberry Pi Gameboys, looks rad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7mQvFxuWsg

nani?!?

Those look dope

Wonder how much they cost

All the comments are saying "sell on aliexpress please"

sent them a mail last night, they still haven't answered

they're about 140 assembled for the deluxe version (6 face buttons and PSP-style analog nub) on taobao, not too bad

although if you want to go super ghetto this looks more fun to assemble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mCKVIiTx34

and also almost all the individual pieces are still useful on their own if you're sick of it, powerbank, rpi + display, ipega

*China is going to start blocking all VPNs next year, though. The government is becoming increasingly isolationist over there. It's a wee bit scary... Now, state-run news agencies have made it clear that the government will shut down the I.P. ranges of all VPNs.*

then get a <$5 vps

bought a year subscription would be mad if they ban it

Mfw I used a VPN the whole time I was there so I could use Google and look at furry porn

I paid for it too. This are like the only working ones and even then sometimes they cut out

If anyone needs a VPN before China kills them all I recommend Vypr. It server me well. Gives you a gig free and then $10 a month for unlimited. I just canceled after one month

Oh nice

I use expressvpn

seems like a lot of people use it too

I do

@kenny 👉🤛 https://box.cock.li/

$10/mo for 1TB bandwidth

I don't know about the reliability, considering the Germans/Romanians took the server drives for Cockmail one day

Oh shit 98% full

just get your own cheapo box there are tons of cheap vps sellers

but yeah cockli is decent

He promised in a video that he'd focus on security of the data. I don't know what he has changed but I dont think the server is run in his house anymore

Oh, have you used that before?

That looks pretty good. I'd sign up for that if it were good

Not the VPS but the email

I have a fuckton of throwaway emails from cock.li and the affiliated webmail providers

I mostly want a VPS for hosting some minor pointless services though

around black friday/cyber monday you can get some for $1 a year from some providers

"My kit price is 90 dollars, plus courier about 30 dollars. You can pay me directly to paypal. Send me your name, address, telephone, zip code. And the color of the shell you like."

holy balls the 1up gb+pi guy actually answered

i don't really trust random services ran by teenagers

it doesn't take much processing power to route data since the vps won't be the one generating any packets

https://alexhost.com/virtual-server.html if u want bulletproof

but tbh ur pobably not doing anything important for anyone to impose on any provider to get ur info so bulletproof/offshore isn't really necassary

@Deleted User

it's not worth to get a vps for no real reason, i have one to host some friends and & shitty art site, but that's cause i'm too lazy to host, on myself

i could host it along seedbox on my rpi

but it's better to jus find a dedi maybe with some friends & use virutal hosts

@Silent

@kenny 👉🤛 lol I don't need a VPS

@kenny 👉🤛 I was saying I use Cockmail not Cockbox VPS but it was a recommendation -- provided you'll allow a random guy to manage it

>trusting terry a davis wannabe to manage your mail

ye that's prolly worse

@kenny 👉🤛 @transience >assuming I fucking use a mail provider called COCK to do anything important

Can they rent a pajeet?

@Deleted User That's mentioned in the first video

"We use them very rarely." -"If we use them would it be cheaper?"
"About the same as blacks"

hahah

kek

I think the Chinese have already been red-pilled on Indians

This video is really well put-together

Also that vice video is funny as well, they hire white people to walk around Chinese business conventions pretending to be business men

hand over fake business cards

promising sales

I mean these areas look very high-tech

Too bad they'll fall apart in 10 years.

Shenzen marketplaces look cool

It does

http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2017/07/13/foreign-movies-and-tv-bilibili-have-all-been-harmonized

Yeah me and my coworkers are pissed

Now, if you try to say a foreign shows name on weibo (Chinese Twitter), it automatically blocks it and doesn't let people talk about it

Government blocked communication of foreign shows. I guess it's to encourage (force) people to watch Chinese shows

The Chinese pretty much force people to buy Chinese stuff, and yet no one wants to. People pay 20% more for imported shit and STILL do it

westerners should just make shows that're the names of common objects B^)

and yet here we are buying chink shit

@Stoopeedo Not media though.

Ive done my best to enjoy Chinese media

Even translated to English subs, it's complete shit

It protrays a China that doesn't exist. It's just rich people In super clean places

Sounds dull as fuck

@kaetaa lfmao its exactly what trump says and the media says it lies

trump was right

hes always been right

Winnie the Pooh is now blacklisted in China

Apparently it's because of pic related, they dislike the local internet meme using Winnie the Pooh characters in regards to comparing them to Xi Jinping and other world leaders.

It turns out the photo was posted in reference to this 2015 picture of Chinese President Xi Jinping inspecting the troops

bahahahaha

It's like a little kid

"H-hey don't make fun of me!! I'm not a fat bear! Banned !!! G-go away!!"

Do chinks not get the irony in the name ''cctv''

I feel like he doesnt do it but people behind the scenes do it for him

I doubt xi jinping even go on the internet

The government was blasted a few years ago when people found out that the guy who created the "golden shield project" doesn't have his internet restricted at all

But, of course, it was all blocked from Mass communication

it was for simple reason of testing enviroment in his home

so he could test the effectiveness of different bypass methods

iirc he had second connection what was blocked by said shit

my brain might fuck me in this one

but thats what i remember reading

When I visited Japan I flew AirChina and got a selection of Chinese films to watch

They're uh

Interesting

Like, action movies were fine. Same typical big blockbuster garbage

But I tried watching a rom com and it was just unbearable

Mostly due to China's weird "we hate America but lol our country and society is just like America's amirite?"

And in some cases swap America with Japan and it's still true

🤔

I feel everything is copied from koreans

@Kilbur nice meme

chinese films definitely have its own style away from western films

they can be very good but i think shit like romcoms would usually be garbage

only hong kong and taiwan films are worthwhile

True

I hate the xrays and shit in China

literally mini TSA every time you take public transport

plus they're always lousy and full of openings, making them pointless and just an inconvenience

kek yeah

people would just walk around them

or they simply don't work

Why do Tibetans have to set themselves on fire

i heard its just a warm up

lol

The mini tsa in China is a joke. It would be so easy to bomb stuff here

So many sleeping guards, unworking mahines, or apathetic crew

I just walk by the security checkpoints and 90% they don't care

I just walk by the security checkpoints and 90% they don't care

no more of a joke than USA TSA

Cmilk has lived in China 8 years and he never figured out how to pay with your phone??? I did it 3 months in

He says Chinese people are only ones but that's not true

is it alipay or wechat that's the main one there?

Both

But people seem to use alipay a little bit more.

But it's both, really.

But it's both, really.

when i was there like no one used ali pay they all used wechat

it sucks tho cuz you need a chinese bank card and youa have to be a citizen to get one so i coldnt i al;ways had to use cash

but id just pay my friend for renting bikes and stuff cuz they only took wechat

I see people using wechat more

shit is dumb though, cause people are always spending 5 min to get it up

You don't need Chinese citizenship to get a bank card

I've had one since I got here

And yes people spend forever to get wechat up. Sometimes they will answer a message in the process

I do find it funny that you need a Chinese ID to play in internet cafes. Luckily the employees let me use theirs.

That's cool

i would love to know its specs

most of these are just new bodys

wonder how much are the production costs
