they're almost always cheaper when it's about big or heavy items
There's the odd Lidl around here. That's the closest I get to 🇩🇪 these days.
That said, they do have some alright deal on chink shit.
it's literally this one
they were selling them for €4.99
If they don't outright match in price, they very much surpass in convenience.
i bought 3 and got a 4th for free because the outside was a bit cracked
Sweet.
I bought component boxes from some dollar store type dealie here.
i like these too
Aye. I've been eyeing the smaller ones.
Some guys on YT say they're shite for really tiny SMD components though.
Since there's a tiny gap between the lid and the lip of the box.
through hole resistors and the like should fit in these too
Oh aye, it's like... half a mil gap at most.
im not sure why you wouldn't just keep SMD components on the roll they came on
@fully-autismatic Comfy has a c hink toothpick crossbow
That exact one ?
no
Because that shit looks like I could take on at least a shit hole African country with it
@kontroll yeah but what hobbyist in their right mind uses parts that small
looks like 0201 or 0402
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i think the smallest parts i have are 0603
do you know those transistor tester kits
I don't even have a hot air gun, let alone a reflow oven, so it's not a real concern for me in any case.
that was fun to solder
it did work in the end so that was nice
Nice.
I've been looking at those kits.
Not that I need a component tester per se.
But unlike most of those kits, it's actually useful.
_not that i need ..._ goes for pretty much everything i buy
Not just a hideous clock that goes out of sync in a matter of hours.
Spoke to IBuyGou about the Note 4 64gb Global version, they say it has been delayed for the time being and they don't know when it will actually come out "I guess maybe because the new product. It's said that xiaomi will released a new phone at the end of this month." They speculate it's been delayed because of the Xiaomi Lanmi (Blue Rice) "Not sure the final name, but it should be that phone." they also added that this new line won't phase out the Redmi instead it will be a more expensive line of phones "It said that it should be more expensive than Redmi phones. The new phone may have the similar price with Mi 6." @onoderaSecurity @Make @Deleted User @Phatique
i'll just see a part and go _oh it's like $2 for 100 of them and maybe i'll need some in the future so better order now and not have to wait when i do_
