is this a scam
fucking chinks
it doesnt look like the right LTE bands yeah
😦
u gotta match it up with your carrier tho
yea i have been
the chink version is missing a band from my carrier
the other one has all the bands
@transience spends $20 on a autism spinner, it ends up being worse than the $1 chink spinner
so it is not really a "deal" in the stricter sense
Is there a mirror of the new infographic anywhere?
xyz is dead again
thanks dear friend
please 5 star to help business
why is baofeng on there ugh

"why does this thing suck so much?"
I just spent every cent of my gift card credit on stuff, and not a cent more. For some reason this makes me feel clever.
Who wants my old soldering iron?
I'm getting a proper soldering station in 4 days. \o/
always a good thing to have
just make sure it has enough heat output/thermal mass for everything you want to do
station @ work is great for electronics & cables but sucks ass for big connectors, ring terminals and anything over 12 ga wire
@c04x This looks decent doesn't it? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DGZFSNE/
oh yeah
75 watt fuck yeah
Good, glad I didn't get chinked.
Well, maybe I did, but at least it wouldn't be as preventable.
well longevity is the thing with all this shit right?
I'm sure it's got excellent temperature regulation and such
75w is a good figure, that should allow you to solder some decently sized DC power wiring
I like how it has the other shit too, solder holder, tip cleaner haha
I would get one if I didn't already have like 10 cheap irons
actually I got like 5 cheap irons, 1 good one from japan, and this beefy ass motherfucker 100w American Beauty
I'm not too worried about longevity at that price. Or do you mean the longevity of the tips?
no like how well the electronics in the temp controller will hold up
Yeah, not too worried. If it just lasted for a year that would be enough for me.
there's gonna be some fat mosfet in there PWM-ing the voltage to the iron or something
