ok

actually you're right

what was i thinking

let me give them a chance

any good chink binoculars?

What's your intended use?

Bird watching <:pepesmug:589101277879992339>

Ok

For other 'less candid use' I'd actually usually advise a monocular

Easier to ~~conceal~~ carry, no problem with both eyes not having the exact same magnification and such

And tacticool

Most of them are for smartphones, but yes a monocular would be good too

I'm using this one personally https://www.dx.com/p/mini-8x-20mm-hd-pocket-corner-optical-monocular-telescope-microscope-eyepiece-for-outdoor-hiking-climbing-wilderness-expedition-2012275.html

(yeah DX because that's something I ordered years ago back when I was a fag that didn't know shit about ali)

It's very compact and good enough for a bit of observation

And it used to be dirty cheap (2$)

It's nothing exceptionnal though but sufficient for most of my needs

I think I have a pic taken with it 'mounted' on my smartphone

Ah yeah this

okay thanks, found it on ali

love the last picture

Totally didn't send it to Winnie for social credit score increase <:alismirk:230784726615588865> <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

The one you linked feels like it has a quite shiny case

You'll want to darken it if you don't want the birds to spot you

yes indeed

CHECK IT OUT, CHECK OUT THE 1 STAR REVIEW I LEFT ON THIS https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33008523085.html

(i'm the 1 star review from GB with the pictures)

reviews with pictures attached always get noticed, hopefully my bad review with pictures will negatively effect the seller's sales for a while

are you sure that's actually deep enough to cut traces

just looks like some damage of the soldermask to me

@Goz3rr 75% sure at-least, either way even if it did still work, is this acceptable? no.

if it worked i personally wouldn't care

they're second hand products

who cares about cosmetic damage of a cpu

but yeah if it doesn't work that sucks

these aren't just second-hand products, these are supposed-to be refurbished electronic components, I'm paying money for this, I expect a good condition product

both aesthetically and functionally
