yeah

2017-11-02 19:17:18 UTC  

I ordered one of those A119 dash cam feckers. Got a SG tracking code too, and it provides literally zero data.

2017-11-02 19:17:31 UTC  

"In Transit" according to 17track. What?

2017-11-02 19:17:38 UTC  

usually SG tracjking codes always work for me

2017-11-02 19:17:47 UTC  

maybe it's just some cheaper non-tracked stuff

2017-11-02 19:18:02 UTC  

but then, Ali says shipped by air

2017-11-02 19:18:05 UTC  

17track says nothing

2017-11-02 19:18:23 UTC  

Oh shit, wait. It's been updated. 😱

2017-11-02 19:18:28 UTC  

on the other hand Alis progress might as well just be random to calm down buyers kek

2017-11-02 19:18:40 UTC  

"Despatched to overseas" after a mere week.

2017-11-02 19:18:56 UTC  

It might be.

2017-11-02 19:19:02 UTC  

I wouldn't worry. ali protection is always ont he side of the buyer

2017-11-02 19:19:14 UTC  

Them chinkies provided me with a new tracking code, and the old one on Ali is still updating like that package is in transit too.

2017-11-02 19:19:30 UTC  

Worst case scenario I get two dash cams for the price of one.

2017-11-02 19:20:44 UTC  

yes Ali is the good guys

2017-11-02 19:20:51 UTC  

unlike DHGate

2017-11-02 19:24:52 UTC  

fake news

2017-11-02 19:25:03 UTC  

dhgate is even MORE respectable than ali friend, just ignore all the fake everything

2017-11-02 19:25:10 UTC  

and lack of https on the main website

2017-11-02 19:27:23 UTC  

I already told the 3.x volt adapter story right?

2017-11-02 19:28:10 UTC  

I bought a bunch of wholesale USB chargers for phones off dhgate and the seller didn't specify the output but as every normal person would assume, I assumed they have an output of 5v ... I mean they are supposed to charge phones

2017-11-02 19:28:31 UTC  

when they arrived I realized they can't charge any of my phones because they output roughly 3 and a half volts

2017-11-02 19:28:52 UTC  

when I complained on dhgate they said they don't give a fuck because the output wasn't specified

2017-11-02 19:30:12 UTC  

basic rule of "read twice buy once"

2017-11-02 19:31:12 UTC  

no they were sold as iphone chargers and they can't charge iphones

2017-11-02 19:31:27 UTC  

for me this means the product is defective

2017-11-02 19:31:46 UTC  

what would you even use 3.5 volt charger for

2017-11-02 19:31:48 UTC  

just batteries?

2017-11-02 19:31:58 UTC  

I would say absolutely nothing

2017-11-02 19:32:00 UTC  

altho >DHGate .. im not that suprised

2017-11-02 19:32:04 UTC  

they were simply broken

2017-11-02 19:32:17 UTC  

3.5 can still download most low-end devices

2017-11-02 19:32:21 UTC  

altho veeeery slowly

2017-11-02 19:32:35 UTC  

on the rpi it doesn't even turn on the LED

2017-11-02 19:32:41 UTC  

its same that some sellers sell 5v but shitty next to nothing Amperage chargers

2017-11-02 19:32:55 UTC  

yes 5V 0.3 A

2017-11-02 19:32:55 UTC  

its 5 it can and does charge but Amps on it cant do shit

2017-11-02 19:33:10 UTC  

there are plenty of 5V 0.3A chargers on dhgate

2017-11-02 19:33:28 UTC  

and you usually see them on street markets sold by brown people all over Europes main touristic cities

2017-11-02 19:33:43 UTC  

its probly 300 mA due higher than that there is high risk of death

2017-11-02 19:33:57 UTC  

so ~ they avoid legal requirements and many other
