Normally, I just use alipay and it works fine. Taobao's own consolidation service has worked great for me in the past, except for when I erroneously tried to buy playing cards, without realizing they were "contraband"

2018-12-07 17:00:58 UTC  

the issue with scalpers is that there's a chance you'll get chinked for even greater prices

2018-12-07 17:01:10 UTC  

why the hell is a deck of cards contraband ?

2018-12-07 17:01:12 UTC  

use a prepaid card with limited balance

2018-12-07 17:01:18 UTC  

That's the thing, I'm not concerned about some chink pwning my CC, considering I'd still be buying through Taobao. And in fact, other stores offering the product seem happy to allow me to pay by credit card.

@foxhunt customs

2018-12-07 17:01:31 UTC  

I asked apparently it's "objects of gambling"

2018-12-07 17:01:46 UTC  

lol

2018-12-07 17:01:49 UTC  

Another thing on the contraband list is "bootleg items"

2018-12-07 17:02:02 UTC  

but that is most of chink shit

2018-12-07 17:02:05 UTC  

Yup

2018-12-07 17:05:00 UTC  

thing is, other stores seem to be offering it

2018-12-07 17:05:30 UTC  

and these stores don't have any issue with me using a credit card.

2018-12-07 17:05:55 UTC  

I don't know how they get the final payment, but at least the deposit is listed as just a regular purchase.

2018-12-07 17:06:21 UTC  

Just trust them ™

2018-12-07 17:07:27 UTC  

I mean, worst comes to worst I lose $22USD, which isn't the end of the world. But I don't feel like trying to deal with scalpers later.

2018-12-07 17:39:22 UTC  

are the lenovo carbon line any good?

2018-12-07 17:46:47 UTC  

Expensive, but good

2018-12-07 17:53:26 UTC  

which gen would you go for?

2018-12-07 17:53:34 UTC  

i heard the battery life is so-so

2018-12-07 17:58:25 UTC  

Not too much into the subject, /tpg/ is probably a better place to ask.

2018-12-07 17:59:10 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-12-07 18:01:36 UTC  

hmm. looks like they don't make them with docking stations anymore

2018-12-07 18:01:56 UTC  

@Raikon nah, tpg hates non-IBM thinkpads

2018-12-07 18:02:15 UTC  

There's really no sort of docks for the carbons?

2018-12-07 18:02:21 UTC  

Considering they're more for enterprise use

2018-12-07 18:02:43 UTC  

I actually prefer chiclet keyboards, but that's me.

2018-12-07 18:05:03 UTC  

lmao, the x1 carbon line needs a usb-c to ethernet adapter for wired internet. fuck that shit is gay

2018-12-07 18:05:25 UTC  

too thin for ethernet cables kek

2018-12-07 18:06:19 UTC  

There's definitely a usb-c dock for the carbon.

2018-12-07 18:06:21 UTC  

Just get one

2018-12-07 18:23:38 UTC  

a fucking GT-R mouse

2018-12-07 18:24:09 UTC  

>Try to play cs and the mouse drifts off the fucking mousepad

2018-12-07 18:24:36 UTC  

>working lights

2018-12-07 18:40:12 UTC
