Dear friends, please understand In /csg/, we discuss the cheap shit you see on AliExpress, Banggood, eBay, Gearbest, Taobao and similar sites.

Whut? I even open disputes for 1-2€ items when they don't arrive and I almost always get my money back.
Brayden Jones
Is it true that if I make a dispute the seller will send me a ricin letter afterwards?
Wyatt Hernandez
I bought stocks in the titanium straw meme. Metal heats and cools quickly, so it is either titanium or some chinkium that's unknown to the rest of mankind.
Metal definitely looks heat treated. Came with handy cleaning straw.
yours does too, tell her i'll swing by tonight, again.
Grayson Cox
great, I'll tell her to prepare the strapon

Have delivery fees in Aliexpress increased forever? why products that had free delivery before in Europa have now around 0.6eur fee? The cheaper option is now "china post ordinary small packet plus" and the few free delivery products there are left have the new fee included in the price. Is the chinese goverment not subsidizing delivery anymore?
Henry Phillips
you joining too? ok, kinda weird seeing a mom plowing her son.
Easton Smith
china.
Jackson Morris
no, buy silicon straws. much nicer on the teeth. also dont have to worry about chinesium poisoning
Eli Sanchez
your best bet is looking at the customer reviews, usually they'll say "My height is xxx and I got size xxx and it fits well/bad etc" I personally got the bamboo ones a couple of weeks ago and am liking them a lot still
Colton King
its because americucks and their shitty president. Try searching same product on ebay, I've noticed they still have free shipping while having same exact price as on aliexpress.
Eli Morgan
anything like this I can find and use with my phone for media control?
Believing Chinese silicone is anything less dangerous than any chinesium. We're all playing roulette user.
Jeremiah Sanchez
literally search bluetooth remote
Isaac Gutierrez
anyone bought shisha from ali ? I want to diy a jack daniels bottle into, so I need an adapter, I guess. But then I'd need the mouthpiece etc.
Jeremiah Ramirez
they were outdated and shit
David Roberts
Nope, on ebay its even more expensive. Probably other people doing dropshipping. The golden aliexpress era is gone!
Carson Diaz
Any good link for a MiBand 4?
Blake Lopez
I got some velour earpads for my old Sennheiser HD428s in. It was a little tough getting them installed which I blame partially on the earpads maybe not being perfectly sized and partially on Sennheiser's dumb and painful system of little plastic clips to install the ear pads.
Sorry man but you got chinked. That fabric will definitely stick if you're sweaty. You got yourself a no-brand earpads for 9bucks when there are some legits one out there that goes for 10 bucks
I want to buy HDDs and SSDs from Aliexpress. What care do I need to have? Is it worth the risk?
I never bought anything out of the country, and even at the risk of being taxed at 60%, it is still cheaper to buy from a Chinese than from a local seller.
Don't buy chink storage. Storage is something you want to be reliable.
Camden Fisher
Even Samsung or WD drives? Do they sell fake SSDs?
Adam Stewart
Always DISPUTE

Come, shill your chink shit for me user, I know you want to.
Christopher Wright
Don't. However buy external cases from there, Orico is best brand for that.
Are the 3.5 inch cases a meme or not? Can they connect with only usb or do they always need external power?
Lucas Jackson
I want to buy ebook reader. What should I get?
Ryder Morgan
is the chink shit randomiser not working for anyone else?

They need external power obviously.

Got picrelated Ganzo. Didnt fucked edge yet so its not bad. One thing i could change/add is botle opener Also in the meantime bought: -mini-vci cable for my toyota, it werks, -leds for mentioned car, -9Pcs Precision Screwdriver Set 1/4", bits seems to be ok, but I would not entrust them with my life, -freon and combustible gas sensor for my Dad, they work and detect leaks properly, -ws2812b leds and power supply for them, -eightin "tr-808" t-shirt European/normal/non chink size, material is very good but print is a little blury
Anyone have a katana umbrella? Was thinking of buying one, it's pretty cheap and the reviews claim they're quite sturdy and quality as an umbrella, just that the handle is a bit loose but can be fixed using glue or a screw
anyone got any experience with chink air conditioners? are these small ones just meme products or actually useful? the reviews seem useless and it doesn't say what room size it can cool gearbest.com/home-gear/pp_009839076251.html?wid=1433363

>heat treated >t. doesn't know that you can anodise titanium with a few volts in water

t. plebbitor summerfag who thinks you greentext t.
Mason Gutierrez
I think it helps to differentiate between whether you're referring to the person being quoted or referring to yourself. I've seen both anyhow. t. not a summerfag
Brayden Mitchell
seems kind of expensive due to incomplete. maybe if it was bundled with THE BIGGEST FEDORA EVER it would be worth it. otherwise just buy a fake katana handle and stick it on any cheap $5 umbrella you dumbass.
or just buy the wrapping and wrap any umbrella with two pieces of wood to make it look like a nice katana handle.
someone explain to me how the chinks make anything cheap and plastic or super-fucking-thin metal look so good and then you get it and its fucking garbage. how do they make image look so good. howwww
Noah Sanders
not surprising but still pretty grim.
William Morgan
They use steel that can barely be called steel.
David Murphy
go to /cgl/ taobao thread, read up whatever info they have. ask question/request for help and just hope anyone would help you with tranny sizing.
Leo Jones
They either trying to get more profit (by charging delivery) or save money (by giving the shittiest shipping option with yanwen)
Brody Brooks
I'm kinda in the same boat. Wanna buy used HGST 7200rpm HDD from taobao since their price is much cheaper than local.
Lucas Green
>just hope anyone would help you with tranny sizing most of /cgl/ will be able to help with that.
Matthew Wilson
Pretty good Use them for everything and throw them away when they get dull.
Landon Gray
How do you know it's actually titanium?
Chase James
dear friend would i lie to you?

Have any of you lads bought chinkshit camping gear? How did it go?

What's a good cheap IR-camera and IR-light? Also, I have some shitbikes and want to rice them for my amusement. Will those RGB 10W cobs melt at ~550K inside of the exhaust?
i want a FLIR so bad. why so expensive? magic camera lens and chip?

Ayden Martin
They don't use normal cmos chips, because those things can only detect wavelengths shorter than about 1000nm. Since thermal infrared goes longer than 10 times that, there's no good way of using an electron/ion-based technology of any kind for receiving thermal IR. Be it a silver halide or some sort of semiconductor. What they use instead is a pyroelectric crystal, which generates an internal electric field proportional to its temperature, which in turn is a factor of the IR radiation incident on it. Measuring this electric field requires some fairly high-impedance circuitry, to ensure that the energy sapped by this circuitry is significantly less than that imparted by the thermal radiation. Standard PIR motion sensors use this mechanism with 2 pixels to detect movement of heat sources (difference with respect to both time and space), where each pixel is perhaps 10mm^2. Since the amount of thermal radiation is proportional to area, a 20mm camera wide element that's 1000px wide will have pixels about 20µm wide, or 0.0004mm^2 in area. That's a factor of 25,000 times smaller, meaning the leakage current will need to be that much smaller too, requiring some fairly specialist electronics, and at perhaps half a million copies crammed into such a tiny area.
>implying it isn't exactly the same shit that you buy from amazon but with a higher markup slapped on it
If it was anodized it would be the same color on the inside of the the tube as well.
The tube is a bronzeish color on the inside.
Brandon Thompson
That's not an AC unit and it won't cool shit. It's just a tiny fan and water. You put it towards your face to get a slightly cooler feeling.
Zachary Campbell
The image is of a different product (usually the original one, not the cheap chink copy).
Nolan Murphy
With that even coloration? The heat-treated ones seem to have a bit of a mottled look to them, but these don't look like that at all. Perhaps it was deliberately anodised on the inside for corrosion resistance or something, perhaps by heat and then by electricity? Never looked closely inside my straw though.
