As expected, it's really small and looks nice. Just to test how much it could carry, I managed to fit a 13" Macbook w/ charger, 2 notebooks, an umbrella, adidas shorts and a pair of shoes. Pretty much little to no space to add anything else.

That being said, it feels and looks like you're wearing a childrens backpack and only has a thin layer of back padding with not a lot of protection for casually tossing/dropping it.

For $8 it's not bad at all, but wouldn't use it for anything more than a secondary backpack for occasions that go well with downsizing.

(Will review Xiaomi Soocas X3 and Soocas SO WHITE toothbrushes when that comes in)

New pins today. The quality is good, but they're a tad small. Still satisfied. They come with those janky plastic backers, but I'll be replacing those with metal locking types.

For the price, 3 dollars isn't bad at all for all 4

$8 Xaiomi 10L backpack arrived, smaller than I expected. Looks pretty tiny, but once it's loaded and worn loose, it doesn't look so bad. If you're taller (183 cm) than me, it'll probably look like a child's backpack.

Fabric is VERY thin and chinky (see close up). My intended use as a "laptop, charger, and accessories" day to day bag is definitely something I wouldn't recommend as I don't feel confident at all with it. It makes sense for carrying a few things, but putting a laptop in it is probably asking for it to tear apart (if you use it every day)

Compared with a 13" laptop

$17 USD headphone stand, not exactly the greatest price, but a lot better than the over $200 (((sieveking))) wants to charge you for their original version. No smells, just big enough for K7XX variants as pictured.

I GOT MY XIAOMEME AIRDOTS.

2019-09-27 01:08:22 UTC  

They sound pretty good

2019-09-27 01:08:35 UTC  

Idk ab battery life since I just unboxed them and started listening

2019-09-27 01:08:43 UTC  

But they're nice

2019-09-27 01:08:49 UTC  

And not as obnoxious as airpods

Airpods were something I regret buying

2019-09-27 01:09:36 UTC  

Anyways, Airdots get an easy 9/10 in my book

2019-09-27 04:42:01 UTC  

basic

2019-09-27 11:29:14 UTC  

I got a mofi case for my 9t. Their cases are pretty nice and well made. All the cutouts are where they are supposed to be. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

GK61 Optical (not the kit, the built board)
Got it with Gateron Blues. Caps feel cheap but they're fine. Software is genuinely awful but the board has onboard memory for RGB and macros so it's all good. Switches are really, really good. Clicky yet precise and fast, much better keyfeel than MX Blues or old Razer Greens. Case is nice without much creaks.

Awesome value at 40USD, arrived within 2 weeks from China.

Overall 8/10 (-1 for software and -1 for caps)

I got them from this store, https://myored.aliexpress.com/store/1182567 , they are 1 size fits all , good enough if u are not bigfoot , feel good and the details are there. Overall great soft feel and they smell like socks bought from local shops

2019-10-16 11:03:02 UTC  

literally the only three downsides:
**- you NEED button top 18650's due to the internal construction of the battery compartment**
- it's rather heavy (but that's to be expected from a beercan sized flashlight)
- lanyard loop hole would've been nice to have

extreme nitpicking edition:
- turning off the LED in the button is a hit and miss, you need to turn the flashlight on and turn it off in like a 0.5s time frame

Checkup on Chef anons chinese chef knife experience after year has passed.
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/WHOKNEWOPDELIVERS/3508010_32852015427.html
>>> I bought a set of 6 knives on wish for a total of €47(original chef anon used >wish< but we know better (see <https://discordapp.com/channels/189466684938125312/287939846662651906/488778544088875040>)

Initial thoughts:
They look great, and feel great in the hand. The packaging they came in was nothing good or fancy. Really sharp and good looking

Usage over the past year:
The first day I got them I immediately compared them to a chipped, pretty dull but expensive good quality old stainless steel knife

Night and day.

Its just phasing trough whatever you cut compared to the dull knife.

After a week:
They are still sharp and not rusty. But I can see already that these knives wont last forever.

After about 7 months of usage, I sharpened them with a wethstone because I felt they needed that, after that they were sharp again and perfect to use.

Today: I still use them as my everyday knives. I go to culinary school now and still use them there. They are really good knives if you use them right and take care of them. For only less than €50 they are completely worth it. I dont think I’ll change them soon. Maybe at the end of culinary school I’ll go and buy a really good expensive knife. It would be better than what I have now and I would not replace these knives with the same set if these were to get lost, but I still dont feel the need to buy different knives because these are still so good

Bout some air dots, they're really solid for the price, much less obnoxious than air pods, actually stay in my ears and honestly have pretty good sound quality, they're so good I've started to use them with my desktop

The steel is soft and formed a wire edge while sharpening, but they took a decent edge. They were sharp enough to cut paper cleanly but not enough to pop hairs. The stainless steel is likely in the 50-52HRC range, which is softer that what most knife grade stainless steel than a knife, but still hard enough to take edge.

Just got my DIY T12-952 Oled soldering station freebie from Laecho (chinks says that they are were called Quicko)
So far so good. Made some safety fixes but it looks promising.

2019-10-26 11:26:38 UTC  

check if your tip and case are properly grounded

2019-10-26 11:26:42 UTC  

sometimes they're not

2019-10-26 12:44:38 UTC  

They are properly grounded, checked with multimeter :)
Thanks for the tip

2019-11-11 18:39:11 UTC
