fucking russian bots

a lot of resellers seem to do this, putting "xiaomi" on shit that doesn't seem to have anything to do with xiaomi

2017-11-24 11:05:00 UTC  

is there a reason for this? do they have tons of sub-brands that it's hard to find information about?

2017-11-24 11:05:40 UTC  

maybe its a collaboration

2017-11-24 11:06:27 UTC  

its made solely by Wiha but its a collab between them and Xiaomi

2017-11-24 11:07:23 UTC  

it's fucking dumb and also gay, i've not heard of this happening outside of chink shit and it feels like a way to chink people into believing they're buying a xiaomi product when they are not

2017-11-24 11:08:00 UTC  

@Adam W there was an explanation in a video somewhere, Xiaomi incubate small companies and cover all the QA/marketing/product launch for their products as long as they use the Xiaomi name

2017-11-24 11:08:19 UTC  

That's why some of them release two of the same thing eventually, one with Xiaomi branding and one with their own

2017-11-24 11:08:51 UTC  

🤔 that's interesting. i'll try to find the video.

2017-11-24 11:08:52 UTC  

So yeah Xiaomi is a collection of a lot of tiny companies

2017-11-24 11:09:14 UTC  

@Tribit posted it before

2017-11-24 11:09:58 UTC  

It's kind of a cool idea, Xiaomi is basically chinking other chinks to meet Xiaomi quality standards in exchange for their brand recognition

2017-11-24 11:10:26 UTC  

outside of this subject

2017-11-24 11:10:28 UTC  

and the end user wins the most

2017-11-24 11:10:30 UTC  

that camera itself seems pretty dank

2017-11-24 11:10:58 UTC  

yeah im liking the design

2017-11-24 11:11:11 UTC  

oh techmoan's done a video about it

2017-11-24 11:12:25 UTC  

is it a trusted reviewer?

2017-11-24 11:12:32 UTC  

Im just reading a review on some photography site

2017-11-24 11:12:36 UTC  

Techmoan is trusted yeah

2017-11-24 11:12:47 UTC  

bit of a cunt but he's well established and knows what he's talking about

2017-11-24 11:12:48 UTC  

Although he's a normie, not a camerafag

2017-11-24 11:12:59 UTC  

Comes at it from that perspective

2017-11-24 11:13:08 UTC  

Just an old geezer who likes tech

2017-11-24 11:13:14 UTC  

he does a lot of hifi stuff which is usually pretty good

2017-11-24 11:13:21 UTC  

never seen a camera review of his before

2017-11-24 11:13:36 UTC  

Yeah I like his reviews

2017-11-24 11:14:56 UTC  

s

2017-11-24 11:15:04 UTC  

Although whenever he covers something in a video good luck finding it for a decent price again

2017-11-24 11:15:05 UTC  

What's the catch 🤔

2017-11-24 11:15:29 UTC  

the catch is either that its a shitty panel

2017-11-24 11:15:38 UTC  

or it might be a legitimately good deal

2017-11-24 11:15:54 UTC  

Is there any way to tell besides turning it on.

2017-11-24 11:16:04 UTC  

read/watch reviews

2017-11-24 11:16:11 UTC  

Correctamundo

2017-11-24 11:16:21 UTC  

Time to research into these "panels"

2017-11-24 11:16:50 UTC  

are the rumours that manufacturers will make shit low quality products, or hold back stuff that wouldn't normally pass QA, specifically to sell on black friday true?
