Why the fuck are copper and green so much more expensive, and which ones are the Ti/Al versions?

Thanks, btw

the coating?

supposedly the brown one is solid brass

just buy the real one <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

titanium is cheap, you're paying a premium for being Made In America(tm)

though this guy could just do what other american knife manufacturers are doing and outsource it to taiwan, he could probably sell for less than $20 a pop with real ti

>55 dollars for a brass keychain knoife

what the fuck, man

if you believe that he makes them in his garage

Sure. I believe it. If by "make" you mean he does final assembly on parts ordered from China

That's what it means

Anyone ordered lathe drill chucks from Ali? Are they shit?

I'm down for carbide, but precision chinesium makes me nervous.

so i bought a usb multimeter 11.11 and the tracking is "label created" and the buyer protection runs out in three days, should i message seller or wait then dispute?

I'd just dispute it at that point

ok, thats what i figured, i imagine ill get my money back no prob

Message them first and give them a day if you still want it

Otherwise yeah, just dispute

They aren't going to ship product if they know it won't arrive in time and they'll 100% lose an already opened dispute, but keeping you from opening a dispute in the first place, they might. Probably not, but there's a chance.

Anyone ever build a desktop pc from aliexpress parts?

@Yados I think Linus Tech Tips did a video like that

Thanks im gonna check that out

IIRC he gave it to the guy who wanders around shenzen as an editing machine.

@Yados why would you though

@Goz3rr if it's better bang for buck why not

it (almost) never is

on top of that you chink yourself out of warranty

Yeah I think that ended up being the take away from the video, too

It was only marginally less expensive, and now you have a chinkshit computer with no warranty

then it's not worth it

but stuff like water pipers,blocks,reservoirs,etc is usualy worth it if you aint looking for some absurd stuff

same as with some cases they have

yeah, i have chink fittings in my watercooling loop

segotep,jonsbo,RGeek, are decent case ones (what are confirmed to be decent by community)
