Reminder: Kingdian/Kingspec SSD's fake their SMART stats.
They don't include any thermal detection at all.
Levi Ramirez
Just received pic related. Unsurprisingly, the gamepad is not xInput. Disappointed about that. Anons even told me that if a chink gamepad looks like a 360 copy it will be xInput. :/
Doesn't even seem to work with x360ce. Oh well, I guess I have a spare gamepad for PES...
What's with the "dispatch date" on gearbest? Does it mean that it's pretty much a pre-order? Should i just order from aliexpress since the price is pretty much the same. Don't feeel like waiting almost 2 weeks before the product is dispatched. gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_1707254.html?
Hmm, could be My fanless nameserver reports 33C on core and 25C on the Kingspec ssd Come to think of it, I don't remember it ever showing anything else than 25C Ah well, no big deal as long as it continues to work
Cooper Turner
I wish they'd just make female connectors that are built into the case
Charles Thompson
ok did like 2 secs of googling, i think they still haven't launched it. they just did a limited "pre-launch" for people who bought the pre-sale. so 23-27 is when they're actually launching it for everyone?
Blake Wood
they still work without a problem it seems, but I'm worried it'll break soon. Should I put some black electrical tape on it and call it a day?
Sebastian Cox
Some sort of glue would be better.
Justin Watson
I worked at some private post company that "helped" the big ones in germany. Literally retarded people, human trash and migrants, I know I mentioned it twice. Looked just like in that video desu.

Unfortunately this seem to be a scam and wasted my time.
Hudson Wood
My first pair broke the same way, now I try to keep the cable as straight as possible. It's a stupid design choice.
Logan Clark
Is the user who bough the RGB Yeelight still here? How's your shipping going? Mine just left China. It seems like the store was legit after all.
When do you expect for your order to arrive? I'm anxious as hell to get mine.
Christopher Baker
Me too, fellow hue. The correios are holding my Wiha screwdrivers and some cheap stuff. At least I got my money back. Also, I got lucky and a phone and a tablet went through without taxes and actually arrived. Bought in March.
Owen Perry
you could be right...it stays at a constant 40 celcius here, no matter whether I use it or not
Noah Hall
for the rgb yeelight, you should check out their developer api, with python and/or telnet you can code it to do some funky stuff
Jayden Roberts
I'm confirming this, I've been running stress on the nameserver for over half an hour now and it's gone up to 52C, but the Kingspec ssd still shows 25C. The rest of the values do change though. Power on hours, LBAs read and written etc. seem to do what they're supposed to. Again, no big deal for me
Levi Adams
No links but it's based on my experience. I live in the south and the thermals never changed.
I then proceeded to do some investigating and my heatgun clearly shows the drives around 60-67 degrees while the SMART states its 40-/+ degrees. I expect they use a microcontroller or IC to spoof the SMART data. They are not being compliant with the specification and probably don't even have a thermostat inside.
All in all I suggest you don't take my word on it and investigate yourselfs.
Either way it's probably worth the price for beaters or a /boot/ or /root/ drive setup for read only. I don't expect long term usage though...
Dirt cheap and I should of assumed chinkery so I don't feel too bad.
Just please don't pretend and shill on here to other anons that a Kingdian SSD is anywhere near even Adata in quality.
Landon Stewart
yeah its not really a big issue, normal ssds aren't known to overheat, only those m.2 ssds tend to because of their crazy read/write speeds should be fun if someone does a teardown video of the kingdian ssds to see what it looks like, when it is at its end of life
Evan Ward
learn to solder
Nathaniel Young
Tell me, /csg/ brothers, is this shit real Toshiba and actually has advertised UHS-III or is this bullshit and its a regular C10 with a paintjob?
I'll do it if it ever dies. It's running 24/7 but doesn't really get much writes tho, only what debian normally logs
Julian Gonzalez
the wires aren't broken or cut, the plastic is just falling apart
Nicholas Hill
Cool
Austin Brooks
If it's real UHS-III there will be 2 rows of pins on the back to account for the double bandwidth and increased power requirements. (you need a phone or a reader with UHS double row pins to gain that speed though) Still works in legacy SD card slots though.
I got a Samsung Evo 64gb for 27 on eBay. Pleb tier csg but it works
Brody Price
tl;dr What are the best IEMs and Mouse for less than $10 each?
IEMs >Neutral sound (no nigbass) >Don't care if wired or not >Nipple tips are preferred >Control buttons and mic are also preferred
Mouse >Comfortable >Responsive >Decent build quality >Don't care if wired or not >Will be using it only at times >Don't need many (5+) buttons >silent click is preferred >Bonus points if it doesn't have the "pro gaymur" look
What would you recommend based on previous purchases?
hi, mine has reached canada and im expecting it next week.
will give a short review for /csg/ when i have it
Logan Williams
Not all M.2 drives are NVMe/PCIe. KingDian M.2 modules use SATA. Those won't overheat and you can examine them without disassembling. There are high res pic of them around. Someone should just take a look.
Luis Johnson
Honestly, not to be a dick, but you should have just gotten an actual Xbox controller. Even a brand new one with bluetooth is pretty cheap. I'm sure they go on sale too. And I bet previous years controllers would be fine too. I have like a dozen different controllers and my Xbox One controller is probably the best followed by a PS4 Dualshock. The dualshocks are just a bitch to pair with PC tho
this is just for a secondary burner phone that i'd like to be able to do more than just be a flipphone like use whatsapp, steam, etc.
Tyler Sanders
If you went with all open protocols like XMPP and IRC where you could choose the apps as you please, then maybe...?
But the bloated social media and other apps don't really care, they just use your RAM to run shit code and serve ads and whatever they do. With a very noticeable tendency to get more bloated every half-year.
So I'd personally regardless recommend one of the slightly more expensive 3/4GB models of Redmi / Redmi Notes. We're still only talking about like $120-160, not some high-end luxury phone. Of course, do as you have to.
Mason Wood
superglue then

Adrian Collins
Is there a chinkphone that is sub $300 that is dual sim and has a really top camera
Luis Turner
Used S7 or iPhone remember that all smartphones are chink phones
Aiden Robinson
>that is dual sim
Jacob Peterson
> a really top camera No. Top camera is basically the entirety of the sales pitch for luxury phones.
You don't get the same sensors on cheap phones. OTOH you could always accept that smartphones are p&s snapshot devices and own an actual camera with some neat lenses for when you want to do really nice photos. Takes more effort, I know.
Camden Thomas
PS: Dual sim, on the other hand, are extremely common on Chinese smartphones. You'll not have any issue finding this.
If you check well, you can even find quite many that do dual SIM plus microSD without any adapters.
Samuel Roberts
My bad. "Top" cameras are expensive and good software for them is too hard to develop apparently so I would not expect to find either on chink brands. I think even huawei's new flagship's camera got btfo because of it.
Michael Lewis
I can't help you with the mouse, as for IEMs I have the UiiSii HM7 or whatever they're called, the meme "perfume cable" ones. They fit your description imo, though they're slightly sibilant for my taste, which is fixed by a slight eq on high frequencies. I don't use IEMs much so it still feels weird to switch from my SHP9500, but for ~6€ I'm fairly impressed when comparing it to my previous ~20€ Sony nigbass cannons.
Luke Kelly
Yeah, the camera thing just doesn't work for my situation, the photos will all be indoors and well lit, but be fairly high res so I want them to be good quality, I think I am overthinking it, most decent smartphones nowadays have cameras that can handle still shots in well lit areas pretty well IMO
Josiah Bailey
If it's a well lit area and only "pretty well" then yea, most phones will do that.
Thats not bad, I might wait to see what the Redmi Note 5 is like, have they said when it will be on sites like gearbest?
Kevin Russell
what agent is this
James Parker
Already posted on /TPG/, but I can use all the help I can get. Thinking of getting this battery for my X230 so I cna shitpost more on the go, but the listing says X230/X220, but they don't use the same type of battery, right?
i was looking at a thinkpad battery off ali. feedback was full of people complaining but it did seem like half of them were retards who ordered wrong model.
like i have a T520 but its a T520 type 4242. theres listings that just say T520 and other listings for specifically a T520 4242
honestly im probably just ordering domestically. was similar prices but will be less shipping time and god forbid if there are issues i can return it easier than shipping back to china or w.e bullshit
Are these safe? I'm staying away from the ones with built in batteries.
Dylan Walker
This isn't really a question for /csg/, is it? Find out your battery / laptop specifics with a search engine.
Jack Miller
Depends. Didn't fry my Xiaomi, but it DID trigger the overvoltage detection on the Xiaomi phone AND their battery pack in full sun, at which point it obviously stopped charging.
You may need a voltage regulator inline.
Logan Hughes
Also want to thank that one user that said that using a dualshock 2 would be better than ordering chink controllers, using my PS2 controller and Dualshock 4 on my pc now.
Found a few sites in my country that sell 9 cells, but they are well above 50 bucks, this one is only 30.
Nathan Miller
Shit. Why did they made them 6 Vp in the first place? I don't want to rely on overvoltage detection in my phone (if it even has one)
Ryder Carter
simple oen word answer, yes.
complicated answer, got a usb bank and try it first. put a multimeter across the usb output. 5 volts is a standard, any deviation above 5.20 and below 4.80 is out of spec. and will damage your phone.
these things really need a built in buck-boost circuit.
Elijah Price
> Shit. Why did they made them 6 Vp in the first place? Because it's a pretty good "nominal" voltage for various uses.
Look, it's a solar panel. The voltage and ampage varies a LOT, unless you add devices that make one of these constant and/or optimize one vs the other for optimal energy yield. It's the technology itself that works that way - you also got this issue if you install solar panels on a house.
> I don't want to rely on overvoltage detection in my phone (if it even has one) Then put a Xiaomi power bank in between, preferably one of the models with pass-through charging / simultaneous charging & discharging support [ensures you can get constant voltage and ampage both, plus all sorts of protections], and a voltage regulator [ensures the protections don't constantly trigger on their own, heh]. Or just the latter, if you prefer.
Justin Wilson
Any recommendations for 7in-10in tablets? Planning to use it for media consumption. Youtube, anime, manga, and books.
> will damage your phone. The vast majority of chink phones is easily going to tolerate a 0.2V difference, though some might already trigger safety measures then.
But the panel will probably range from like 4.5V to 7V or something when you got sun on it. Either way, likely too much variance to "easily" use as-is.
Sebastian Reyes
>chink controllers That was me. Strangely enough I feel like the same applies for battery. I know this is /csg/ and everyone wants cheap deals, but "you get what you pay for" still rings true. Like the knockoff Gamecube controllers that only has analog shoulder buttons which completely fucks over Mario Sunshine which uses different pressure on the trigger buttons to control FLUDD etc etc. Dualshock/Xbox controllers are just always better assuming you can stomach that "off-feeling" of playing SNES with an Xbox controller
>Found a few sites in my country that sell 9 cells, but they are well above 50 bucks, this one is only 30. The prices I was looking at were very similar. Except domestic shipping was 10 bucks or whatever, so basically same price but have to pay shipping. But it will get here quicker too. Haven't gone ahead and bought yet. Battery still working slightly ok. Its just now as soon as I get low battery it basically IMMEDIATELY goes to sleep mode instead of the usual 5-10 minutes I used to get
Nolan Morgan
For an IEM buy Remax RM-610D (worse cable has buttons+mic and cheaper) or a Boarseman KR25D (better cable no mic or buttons and a little more expensive) Dont buy Uiisii garbage like this user said. Its completely trash I'm keeping them just to remind myself that.
Please do it. There are no reviews online. Would be nice to know how good it is.
Juan Rivera
Pretty funny.
Dylan Martinez
it seems they werent lying when they said it was a new product. my ali store claimed it was their "first run" with it too. the lack of reviews and info made me nervous, but all seems well.
and i generally give a quick /csg/ shitpost for most stuff i get, but ive been excited for this so already planning to give review. in fact im already laughing because i know ill be picking it up around 10am and then sitting in agony until 7-8pm comes and i can actually play around with it
Ryan Sullivan
As I've owned both I'll chime in on the choices. KR25D have better sound, but the Remax are way more comfortable. Not saying that the KR25D are uncomfortable, but after a while I completely forgot I had the Remax buds on.
Jace Turner
i cant wait for my less than $20 gift of "replacement electronic parts" (read: $90 vape with internal battery) to arrive.
no idea why FastTech sent it out on a weekend (they claim only Mon-Fri) let alone what would be 2am Hong Kong time. but oh well. sucks to be other user who had to wait days. this was shipped in 24hr
>live in south america >order chink electronics shit from aliexpress >get tracking code >my shit is redirected to miami I guess the NSA backdoored my chink shit.
James Davis
USB-HID is the regular standard, xinput and whatnot is just some PajeetOS shit.
Jaxson Perez
Google how shipping works. They're not going to send a whole cargo ship straight from china right to your bumfuck country.
Logan Perry
Some user bought one a while ago, never heard from him since. Hopefully he will do a short review.
Lucas Baker
>Google how shipping works. Great advice, not for just /csg/ but every fuck-tard who's ever bought anything. Can't remember where but I was making my way through a 100 page thread about shipping complaints and the vast majority of them were people complaining that international shipments weren't flown to their front door on a private cargo-plane.
Andrew Barnes
why do they use so much glutens and salt in their food?
Connor Martinez
Cause it's delicious
Austin Scott
I'm joking you fucking autist though sinotrans is known in my country for being really fast, and I myself have had some shit shipped from china to my country in like 2 days (obviously only counting transport from china)
also, unrelated: some seller on ali gave me a tracking code a week ago that simply doesn't work
Blake Clark
>also, unrelated: some seller on ali gave me a tracking code a week ago that simply doesn't work Should be working after 7 days. What site/app are you using? Ali itself 17track?
