It took me 5 years to find this Discord. First troll was Twink discord and 2nd was one called /g/ technology. God I love this general.

Anyone got the AirDots?

I really wanted them, but 55 USD come on isn't that too much.

AliExpress keeps redirecting me to Xiaomi Airsofts

Why do the AirDots get sold for 50 USD when they go for 200 CNY @ Xiaomi.com

which is 30 USD

So shipping and handling is 20 USD?

I never trust these low-scale middlemen either way.

It's weird that no big player has bought these in bulk and sell for a good price. They were released in November.

maybe they are actually quite shit?

RIP @Tribit

I do not know, no Bluetooth 5?

they are the older model Xiaomi shipped

I guess

Not <#365921969004216320> but actually buying a new Xiaomi and I do not think it has BT 5

So I wonder if the AirDots even make sense to me, as I only have 4.2

Thanks.

Btw, I found this seller. From the review pics it seems he declares every item as $45 by default. But I need it a bit less than that, how likely is the seller to listen to my request? I don't do this very often.

AliExpress, I can link you

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Global-Version-Xiaomi-Mi-A2-Lite-64GB-ROM-4GB-RAM-SmartPhone-Snapdragon-625-Octa-Core-5/32901426177.html

Like 37 bucks

Oh yeah, I can see that coming.

that was a /csg/ meme wasn't it

I placed an order actually because the discount might run out (got the blue for $ 165.99) and asked before I complete the payment.

but who knows if the chinks have holidays or not

sweet. It's not the first time I order a phone. It's almost 100% likely "AliExpress Standard Shipping" == "SingPost Registered" estimated time: 1 month

So rather than wait for any discount of measly $10 better to order sooner than later

I had luck once, actually.

Got Direct Link instead of SingPost, but somehow it had to go through Sweden.

Can't order from EU warehouses, I do not live in EU.

You know that AliExpress blocks Chinese characters right

sounds funny, I know, but perhaps it's to force them to write English?

should have bought from Mi Zealer that publickly advertise they write whatever you tell them to

Actually they cost 6 USD more there, no way.

Need all the dollars saved

for 6 I can probably get a nillkin

Do I even bother or is the silicone one they include with Xiaomi good enough

I seem to recall it was loose and actually nothing much

Nice price

terrible specs though

depends on what you use it for, I always ruin the audio jack of my phones but I still want an Android.

I think I need to stop pulling the jack all the time, that must be why it broke.

come on we in /csg/ nobody here would buy Apple.

I never had wireless, and if its reasonably cheap I want to try.

But I guess you are right

probably some import store bought it and tries to get rid off it faster by lowering the price since its not selling

isnt the meme to buy those brand ones called Wacom

I guess they cost as much as Apple products

Those without a screen, actually saw a bunch of Wacom in Russia for cheap price, but it was just a touch surface.

How do you even draw like that

It must take some practise to draw without seeing it directly

Yeah, just like playing keyboard.

I remember I tried this Lenovo tablet out

it had so much bloatware that if you access their file manager app

It opens a google play app ad every time you do something in it

thx Lenovo

Could work, but would anyone bother to make custom ROM for some cheap shit chink lenovo tablet.

I heard even Xiaomi tablets have issues with no custom ROMs

MULTIROM stopped too

Nah, you need a proper digitizer tablet I guess.

One that can handle stylus

That one didnt do stylus.

Afaik its going to be hard to find a decent stylus tablet that's not Samsung or so

I don't think Xiaomi has any?

Well, don't they always advertise with "note" and not fake note like Xiaomi but actually calls it note as you can use a stylus on it, an active one not a passive.

passive stylus is just some crap with rubber tip to simulate your finger

I tried looking for one on Ali but to no avail

Funny enough the best passive stylus I got was a free gift a seller included it

I lost it

active stylus, of course needs batteries.

Hmm, didn't know that.

Also Pocophone sounds like a good one

Too bad I am so cheap I go A2 Lite instead

ah I see so almost double the price for my A2 Lite. I still keep the restriction for chink phones at max 344 USD, but the 290 USD price is w/o tax.

NFC don't care, at least it has Bt5 if you ever need that

But I honestly doubt you would

I only have a Xiaomi BT 4 speaker bar, and its not BT5

It supports aux and sd card instead though

So I end up using that

doesnt it take up a lot of battery?

I wanted the mi band 3 or whatever once because of the ability to display the time.

But then I heard that they didnt buy a proper quartz conductor for it

so you need to sync it with your phone 247

for time

Which sucks

Maybe I am wrong though, somebody told me it did work without syncing for time.

But who can you even trust

even going off by 1 minute a day is bound to be going very wrong after 1 month

not as retarded no

If you look at the form factors of single board computers, even Intel, then it should be doable

I would honestly get a small chink board like this https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*APKg3N6o6Q7fIQRhCflhNQ.png

and operate it by touch screen instead

seems like a more sane solution

But then I found out how hard it was to get these touch panels

They didnt even make a frame for the screens

ffs c'mon chinks

also they cost way too much

amazfit bip is bettter? No wonder, it costs quite a bit more

time to get analog clock with 10 years battery life

I once got an analog clock for chinks, one of the first products I got
