dang

2018-10-17 20:03:27 UTC  

say goodbye to 10 cent shipping to the US

2018-10-17 20:33:04 UTC  

Say hello to America making bank off you fucks

2018-10-17 20:34:28 UTC  

funnily enough that hits the customer most as it will make prototyping harder

2018-10-17 20:34:34 UTC  

and commercial packets too

2018-10-17 20:34:45 UTC  

:---D

2018-10-17 20:35:20 UTC  

i love how self-isolationist US has become due cheetos man

2018-10-17 20:35:29 UTC  

sooon... soon

2018-10-17 20:35:41 UTC  

they will close all airports and accesroutes and just live there alone

2018-10-17 21:00:27 UTC  

The US already has a pretty strong commercial prototyping system internally. I doubt euros are better off going all in with china as a manufacturing 'partner' if they do at all given they can just use much higher quality EU resources.

2018-10-17 21:01:33 UTC  

where you think your hardware shops get their cheaper parts ?

2018-10-17 21:01:41 UTC  

or chips

2018-10-17 21:03:06 UTC  

It was already not worth it at all to buy a bucket full of screws from china with previous shipping rises. I doubt paying 2 cents more for screws will somehow kill anything that wouldnt be dead anyway.

2018-10-17 21:05:32 UTC  

Regardless there is a year to hammer out the details, I doubt it will end with shipping being that much higher given it is far more likely the chinese government will be more likely to subsidise thier shipping more than just giving up on the US market entirely.

2018-10-17 21:34:36 UTC  

oh dang

2018-10-17 21:34:46 UTC  

i just read apparently pocophones don't have the us lte bands

2018-10-17 21:34:50 UTC  

its bullshit

2018-10-17 21:35:04 UTC  

i think i might be ok though, i really just need a pda which i use on wifi a lot

2018-10-17 22:50:02 UTC  

Poco not having the B4 band is what's keeping me from getting one

2018-10-17 22:51:56 UTC  

That being said, my country is in the list where it's going to be "oficially launched", but our main carriers only provide 4G LTE via B4 band. I'll just wait and see what happens.

Is there a decal for the F-91W that removes all the useless text?

2018-10-17 23:24:00 UTC  

you can paint over it like N.O.D.E does in his f91 Super Autist video guide

2018-10-17 23:25:07 UTC  

he just takes it apart and paints it from the inside

2018-10-17 23:34:54 UTC  

is this for real?

2018-10-17 23:59:29 UTC  

Great news!

Xiaomi will get an official launch in New Zealand

2018-10-18 00:07:34 UTC  

"What this will mean for Kiwi consumers is the ability to purchase a Mi mobile phone like the Redmi Note 5 which has similar specifications to a $1400 competing model on the market already - but selling for around 70% less,” - Eric Chang, Xiaomi New Zealand spokesperson

2018-10-18 01:01:54 UTC  

Do the Kiwis have Band 28?

2018-10-18 02:06:51 UTC  

with 2degrees, spark and vodafone, yes

2018-10-18 02:07:27 UTC  

~~28 is more used in rural areas tho~~

2018-10-18 02:40:12 UTC  

Would this mean NZ phones have B28 then potentially dear?
