so are we just dead?any reccs for camera gear?
>>110131800A USB chargeable battery like this one (same model, not this seller):aliexpress.com/item/1005006758682707.htmlMine works fine and charging it on its own with your phone charger is a game changer when you travel.UV filters for all your lenses to protect the front coating.some cheap "neoprene lens pouch" to toss them in your bag worry free.
>>110131900Sounds nice, not a fan of the micro usb on my camera.Still wary of chink batteries though.I already have a camera bag so I'll skip on the rest.The bag is way too big though, my camera & lens is at an awkward size where it's not small enough for the compact bags, but also much smaller than the average camera bag.
>>110131800Also Seafrogs diving case are really good and cheap for what it is.
>>110131946That's neat, was that a flash or a video light?
>>110131931>Still wary of chink batteries though.They are fine, actually safer in many cases (Fakitas often have protection, Makitas don't).I bought an external battery at Lidl and it got taken at Beijing airport because it didn't have the required safety certification.Just don't buy the shady "TurboFire 10000000000mah" 2$ ones.>>110131931>The bag is way too big thoughThat's why I got these pouches. I get whatever regular bag/backpack fits the gear I take for the moment, often a simple cotton totebag.
>>110131953Some handheld diving light.possibly like pic relaliexpress.com/item/1005003350372091.htmlit looks close to this one but not sure if it's the same. I definitly didn't pay that much for it though.Or maybe this one which I highly recommend even as a regular torch, if you remember that it willl overheat fast on high intensity if not in water:aliexpress.com/item/1005012307700703.html
>>110131800>>110131900I forgot to mention godox flashes likealiexpress.com/item/1005013115917551.html?I don't have much experience with flashes in general. It works fin I guess?and the TTartisan and 7Artisans manual primes. They are dirt cheap and surprisingly good.My favorite is the TTArtisan 10mm, at that focal length you don't even need to focus most of the timealiexpress.com/item/1005009050939990.html
>>110132169My TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 is my favorite lens.
>>110132169A compact ~24mm would make my kit nicely pouch-sized, though I'd want AF at that length.They do have AF version of some of the lenses, are those any good?
Actually I am seriously considering a compact tripod because there's no way I'm lugging a 2kg aluminum hunk around.Tripods like pic rel are made for phones but can also hold a camera. No idea if it could hold a >600g camera reliably though, and the build being 80% plastic is a bit concerning.It's cheap at least.
>>110129876Any one got details on handheld shower heads?I might buy one just to see. An all metal one. They've all got filters. I'm not keen on replacing those regularlyThe main selling point I'm seeing is high water pressure. Every item has a video that shows a qt asian girl comparing a weak stream compared to their superior water jets
>>110132242I have a 30mm viltrox with AF. It's very decent optically and the AF works fine but I should I buy one again, I would either go for a optically superior manual (and also cheaper) or get a better way more expensive AF one.On a side note, Laowa is releasing more AF lenses, keep an eye on them.
>>110132458>all metal oneWhy would you want an unreasonably heavy shower head?
>>110132522I heard good things of the Sigma 30mm
>>110130309they've improved the TCB cashback for my country to match uk's rates so now it's constantly at 23% during sales. heck yeah.
anyone else still waiting for their package to clear customs
>>110134446yes, has not moved since last week and i figured it out - oversized packages are snail mail so by the mail treaty, once it arrives in your country the logistics will also send it to you by snail mail using the lowest cost deliveryso i'm already at 23 days now and it won't move until next week or even longer
>>110134604fuck so that means i wont be getting it until nov. small electronics parts = fastlarge thing = slow
>>110135018if i remember correctly my oversized stick vacuum came in around 3 weeks, but this was june last year before the fuel crisis and EU tax madness
>place an order>think of something else I need right awayevery fucking time
>>110132585The plastic ones degrade over time.
They updated the app interface. It's barebones.No cashback. No 1 cent trials.Everything is gone.It's over.What a drastic change from one year ago.They were literally throwing money at me.
>>110137223the 1c shit was a huge issue because some countries needed your order to be at least $1 for it to go through while other times sellers would straight up not send shit over to the 3rd world countries
>>110137299Most sellers wouldn't send anything to my first world shithole. I don't think it was location specific as much as them not wanting to give things away.I won two separate things from the same seller. They sent one. The second one they some how managed to prevent the order from being placed. When I messaged them, they feigned ignorance. I'm jealous of the people who got big ticket items like tablets.
>>110129876So the whole month is a "sale" huh?
Is this Aneng SL108 soldering iron any good for small repair jobs? The screen died on my Quicko T12 station and I need something to replace it.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009495666976.html
>>110140426If you have another cheap iron lying around just replace the screen
>>110140455I saw that you can replace the screen, but when I had a quick look inside the station there's just a ton of glue holding everything together so I can't be arsed faffing about with that. Plus I've wanted a portable usb c iron for awhile now so I figured I'd upgrade.
The shitty Android TV I bought isn't as advertised. I got chinked, but I'm only out $30 on that. I'm gonna install something else onto it, pick up a USB to Ethernet adapter, and hook it up for use as a bridge between the BMC on my Chinese motherboard and my VPN.
>>110140426I don't understand why people still rag on about >IS DIS GUD IRONEven the $2 irons are decent these days. Sure, there are quality of life upgrades like easily swapped tips and stored temps but the main core of the thing which is heating up a bit of metal to a precise-ish temperature and dumping that heat into a component is a solved issue.>>107169118
>>110134446
Fucking EU.
>>110142547there's an anon here who defends these taxes and repeats their reasoning for them (that they're trying to cut down on cheap chinese parcels and improve unclog the system or whatever) but how do you explain these additional taxes on top of that?
recommendations for active noise cancelling wireless earbuds?
>>110142096When people think of soldering irons they think of the old tech grandpa used in the 1900s where it's a metal rod wired directly to AC. It heats uncontrollably, it cooks the tip and their PCB, solder doesn't stick because it immediately charred everything. They think they have to handle it like a medieval lightsaber. The average person doesn't know what PID control is unless they have a STEM background.$2 irons are not good. Those have a basic design and shit tips that will burn out. The decent ones with a proper MCU are about twice the price they should be because nobody knows it's a solved problem. It's probably one of the most overpriced things on /csg/ because of the outdated notions.
Can i get decent wireless keyboard and mice combos with nordic key (ÆØÅ) labels on aliexpress?
>>110142096I got a $10 Aneng (SL106?) iron awhile back that had a short as fuck cable and didn't securely lock the tips in place, so they could spin during use. A $20? Plusivo iron I was gifted before that stopped heating properly after using it maybe five times. There's still garbage out there, or at the very least poor QC.

Any recs for electronics you can buy from Chyna? So far I got:>Three mini PCs>One refurbished handheld>Two laptops>A bunch of head/earphones and gamepads>SSDs, micro SD cards, optical discs>A phone>A NAS>Routers, switches, cables and whatnot>A projectorKinda starting to run out of ideas at this point, but I want to buy something cool and fun that I'll use regularly like all of the above and that won't collect dust.

Hope they lose the war in Ukraine and more.Click on 10€ item and it's 18€ now at checkout.I want to thank CCP and chink factory workers for providing me with cheap chinkshit and filling my life with joy and prosperity for more than a decade.

>>110144221>but how do you explain these additional taxes on top of that?with this>>110149228>fuck'em, I'm still ordering.and i don't mean anon is wrong, cause even with all these fucking taxes getting it from chang is still the cheapest (and in some cases safest) option. Which is the reason behind the taxes, they just want their cut, it's literal free money for them
>>110149338and then you have to think of either give money to the middle man who lobbied it or pay the eucuck fees that will go to immigrants, it is still preferable to order directly from chang

Don't expect anything fancy like DRAM and you won't be disappointed.Just ordered picrel. It's too good to be true, we'll see.

>>110129876So i have a wall mounted pc, and it's has gotten kinda annoying to reach over the screen to turn it on, i know there are corded power on switches for cheap but i really wanted to avoid that, since i got all my peripherals wireless. So i bought one of these wireless power on buttons for pc, it's kinda pricey for just one button switch but it works great and the build quality is nice so it looks good on the table, the receiver has two options for power over pci-e slot or usb ( you need to have always on function turned on for usb obviously) which came handy in my case, since my gpu is vertically mounted and riser cable goes over extra pci-e slots which makes them unusable. also the transmitter is rechargeable over usb c, have yet to see how long the battery lasts, but it's probably going to be ages, since it will be used only 1-2 times a day.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012791089708.html
>>110162935Waiting for 11.11 to maybe get a Vader 5 Pro controller if it's discounted more than usual
>>110162935Didn't want to review any recent purchases until I'd gotten a decent amount of use out of them. At most I can say the 100W GaN Essager charger and cable I got work as advertised, properly fast charge my phone whereas my 100W Toocki cables don't, and the charger itself stays cool during use (the cable connector gets hot when it's pumping 100W).
>>110129876So i have a 100v system with one central player in one of my company locations, turns out they need separate music for one of the rooms, so i bought one of these, it works as intended, unfortunately in that room there is only one speaker, and i don't have option of running additional wires or installing extra speakers, so i had to chose either left/or right channel, maybe in the future they will release a model with stereo to mono downmixing option, it runs a 30w speaker fine, the sound quality isn't amazing, but the normies at the location are content, and most importantly it fit the already existing hole without a problem and it looks nice, i installed the player where the 100v wall attenuator was.
>>110162935I'm poor.They aren't doing epic promos anymore. That's where 90% of my purchases were.
>>110164306Does it state what input voltages it takes (assuming it's just passing through)?
>>110164827since it's usb, it's 5v, in the instruction it even says you can power the receiver from a battery, as long it's 5v, it's primarily design to be used as a pc switch, but nothing's stopping you if you have some other use case in mind if you have that in mind

>>110175647I doubt they last very long, but if changing them out isn't a big deal... eh?I can think of some off label uses for them, I guess. Would like to see one opened up.
>>110175647No reason it wouldn't if it's well made.However, do not ever charge it in use, there a very real risk of frying everything due to grounding and/or over voltage.

>>110151734No man. You fool. No way it's real.
>>110174086I checked their post history. They're helping others.I got an IP / fingerprint level ban. I had to check from Tor. The ban came from calling out a troll on another account a few weeks ago. A mob got angry I tried to warn people from taking the bait. Or the troll pointed a bot farm at my account. I've seen that happen first hand several years ago. Didn't catch a ban that time though. Or reddit corporate got mad I disrupted their regularly scheduled bot activity.
>>110132397I got a Ulanzi at the recommendation of an anon here, for holding a microphone. Obviously a lot lighter than a camera, but I could test it with my camera if you like. I think it was probably a cheaper and lighter duty one than that one though so maybe just take this as advice that the tripod generally seems good for what I paid.
>>110176272i tend not to troll reddit or talk politics on it because catching bans is really fucking annoying there and i need it for link exchanges and tech questions
>>110175647Not really - these have lower voltage than nikel batteries, so some devices(thermostats) will ac screwy.
No I won't buy from China. I just lost 10 TB recently. 10!
>>110176770li-ion voltage is way higher, those actually need a buck converter to drop down to 1.5V, they stay at that voltage until the charge is gone at which point they just turn off
Some chink shit has arrived.The mat for when I open up electronics, and a vertical mouse for when I'm not gamin'.Never had one before so it doesn't feel comfortable yet, but I'll give it a try.As for what I can judge right now - it doesn't feel hollow, the weight feels right and the movement is smooth. The buttons are silent like it says on the box, which I'm not a fan of. It makes the clicking feel vague, even though it isn't.
>>110175647I have another brand. It works fine. The other anon is correct about charging voltage. On mine the battery terminals go to 5V while chargining.It's basically a lipo + step down convertor + charge chip.There's no low voltage cut off on mine. I don't know how low the actual lithium cell gets but the output drops well below 1.0v.
>>110142547At least there are good news from Superbuy.
Any HIGH quality wired unidirectional microphone "capsule" on aliexpress?I just need the to replace it in my headset.

>>110177971I tried a vertical mouse but it wasn't for me, I also tried mixing it with regular one, I kept knocking it over, i am used to the low profile of the regular mouse, and instinctively know how much i need to hover over it when i move my hand from it to the keyboard and vice versa, the vertical mouse is at least two or even three times the height of a regular mouse so i kept knocking it over

You guys SUCK at chinkshit with your Aliexpress. First piece of chinkshit you need is a chink girlfriend, then she can find everything on Taobao, Jingdong, or Pinduoduo. There's others too I can't even keep track of them all. They keep the real good value chinkshit hidden on their own apps. She gets a bunch of shit sent to a warehouse and they package it up and send it on the slow boat, costs hardly anything for shipping. We bought around 100 things this time, when they arrive it's the closest thing to Christmas as a child that an adult can experience. You forget everything you ordered and get excited again, like a gift but exactly what you want. It's just not the same getting things in drips and drabs one package at a time, and the range on Aliexpress is nowhere near as good.
>>110184374>Taobao, Jingdong, or Pinduoduo.chat is this real lmao? Why are chink name conventions like this?also does you bug gf make you bat soup?

I want some sort of phone holder that clips onto the desk so I can film overhead from a bit of a distance.Any recs?
>>110187950Depends on what you mean with "a bit of a distance". If the distance is actually decently large, then you'll probably want a microphone arm and a cheap phone mount, then either 3d print an interface or use glue to connect the two.
>>110188928Like 50-60ish cm of height? plus a similar distance from the edge of the table.
>>110189086mic arm then. Or a proper tripod you place next to the table.

>>110187950https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007227900317.htmli bought this for my desk, got sick with covid and moved it to my bed and put my tablet on it at an angle like their picrelsomething like this, maybe a bit more expensive if you want it more stable, should handle your phone with ease
>>110190272>what I need to look forspecs of the arm you are getting - screw diameter etc.
>>110190272That should be fine. Your main concern you'll look for is what weight it's designed for. Your phone probably weighs a little more than those mics, which risks the hand then not being able to stay in a set position from friction alone which can cause it sagging/not holding a position.What >>110190400 linked will probably work because it's a friction lock and you can just tighten the screw really hard, but you're massively limited in what you can do with it in terms of positions.If it were me I'd get what >>110190381 linked. If you look at the pictures, each of the hinges has a plastic wingnut at the side, which you can use to "lock in" a position, which should make it able to handle much higher weight.So if it was me I'd get that tablet holder thingy probably.
>>110190590The microphone it mentions is 160g which isn't that different to a phone, but you're right that the thing anon linekd looks better.Thanks for the advice lads.
>>110187705HahahahaDevious chinks. I've been to their slums they aren't even that bad. It's kind of comfy in a disgusting bugperson way. It's not like favela tier. Likely they live in a normal apartment anyway.
>>110186261New Zealand is more expensive than Australia and the wages are significantly lower.
>>110184374How much is the shipping and handling in this method? Also how the fuck do you buy hundreds of things at a time
my phone case, stickers and Velcro arrived! i only wanted one of the stickers and the phone case isnt what the image showed and smells awful and the Velcro ties are now surplus because I got some for free from Amazon. idk why I even bother with aliexpress half the time
>>110190988nta, but I've been doing this for almost 20 years now out of Japan. shipping is intl freight, takes like 6-10 weeks, and is like 1/15th the price vs all of that shit piecemeal. key is having a place that will store it for you for a month or two while you're buying things. they charge a small fee for storage and repacking (saves even more in shipping).
>>110190901It's 99% to convince the easily impressed guailo to fall for the scam.But yeah I've been to some chinese slums too. Not great, but also much better than e.g. african or south american slums.
>>110191202i would consider myself a person who sees the good in people and think that people by default will act in good faith. if i wasn't a non-gweilo myself i would probably fall for shit like this every time.
>>110177971i just got the ugreen steam deck dock for my legion go and it works better than valves. it will connect to the wired internet always when the official valve most of the time connects to wireless.
>>110191392ugreen is my go to brand for cables and charging stuff. for some reason all their products are top notch
>>110191392Funny enough I got this mouse for when I use my ROG Ally as a workstation. Got a baseus hub thing though, although I got a ton of ugreen cables, they're great.
>>110191045Post some pics of the differences?I still haven't gotten an incorrect phone case.

>>110191911the case that was promised:
>>110192168the case that arrived:
>>110192170This looks like it could trigger tropophobia... but also like it might look decent?
>>110192170*groan*so what's it like when you put the phone in the case?
>>110192173idk, it looks kind of silly. also the magsafe is so weak compared to my old case, like comically weak>>110192174kinda not that good, but I dont have a mirror nearby to take a photo of it.i honestly got it to match my beige mum aesthetic ive got going on
>>110129876what is the best shit i can get from mr chang
>>110192189yeah it's like a yellowing plastic beige instead of that nice white-cream beige. not a fan of the slotted camera hole aesthetic or the los of the red highlight on the ring. so disappointing really.
>>110190988It will be packaged and shipped in the next couple of days so I'll update you the exact cost because I don't remember from previous times. As for hundreds of things, not hundreds plural but upwards of 100 on bigger orders. We do it 2-3 times a year, any time we think of anything non-urgent we want we add it to the list. So this time for example I got>Various components, connectors etc for my mini PCs, literally 10x cheaper than buying local. ~5 items>Some second hand security cameras and related things, a bunch of stuff to make cat6 cables, cable clips, etc. ~10 items>Miscellaneous adapters and cables and stuff that I need sparingly which is not worth the cost here, ~6 items>Soldering iron and some other soldering stuff, ~5 items>Clothes, ~20 items between both of us>Odd single items for example new headphone earpads and heaband cover, thermal putty, a mechanical keyboard, a few flash drives, phone screen protectorThat's already more than 50 and I must have ordered at least another 10-15 little odds and ends I can't think of now, lord knows what she ordered she gets all kind of random shit. You can see how that racks up pretty quickly. Different apps have different types of stuff, Pinduoduo is for mass produced cheap garbage good for things like the cable clips, Jingdong is trustworthy for good quality electronics stuff, Taobao is more general and is more like Amazon or whatever, there is another one I forget the name of which is good for second-hand electronics. They have really refined buying shit online to an art form over there, they are way ahead of us for variety and price and service. I guess we all know that hence why we are here, but once you get access to their way of doing things it's like a whole new world.
any point in waiting for further sales on 11.11 aliexpress or will the prices remain the same from now? only bought a handful of things there before so i never participated in these sales before
>>110190272I have this exact one as an arm that came with cheap led lamp and magnifying glass+lampNo way is it worth 32 yuroshekels, the lamps themselves were like 15-20 roobucks, one from Amazon one from local supermarket (think Aldi specials type)
>>110193235this is the first time i've seen the entire month covered for both 11.11 and BF. i remember last year we had like 3 days grace between the two, and BF didn't last the entire monthwith that said, i have noticed that prices are generally lowest when the sales starts, but prices inch up higher and higher as it progresses, possibly to get you to buy from FOMO. if you're doing external cashback like me, they won't have them for the entire sale so if you're not using them then buy at any time throughout the sale.
>>110132585t. Broke retard
Bought some usb drives at similar prices to local box store ones on aliexpress. Ran H2Testw. Was fine the first time, re-verifying them months later shows data loss. Anyone have better luck and stores/brands to recommend? Portable disk drives would be fine too
I knew this was coming, but holy fuck is it bad timing, 11.11 starts on the 1st.I doubt I'll save much more than 2€ per item.

>>110129876any suggestions for chinese drones? I need a cheap one, ideally $100 or less. what are good, cheap brands? are the toy no-name ones decent? what are some good specs and details to pay attention to?
>>110184374Gotta start hitting on that waitress at my local chinese restaurant
>>110196158then starve, because they make a shitload of food additives and ingredients that you can find in your food everyday like: all the sweeteners like sucralose/aspartame/stevia, MSG flavoring, vitamin premixes in your multivitamins and moreyour tumbler you bought at walmart? chinese stainless steel, baby. the american steel is of higher purity and is put into shit like ships and weapons and medical tools.
>>110197856I know fuckall about drones, but if you want anyone to give you any worthwhile advice you should at least explain what for.Photography? Selfie/tracking? FPV? Indoor or outdoor? Fast? Stable? High control or high autonomy?Otherwise it's a bit like asking "any suggestion for shoes" without saying what for.
>>110198165Not that guy but how much do I need to spend for an usable toy fpv?
>>110198165>explain what forto learn to use drones, and to make videos. don't care much about anything else.it would be nice if I could use to take pics and make videos of irregular land (of size 10-15 acres/5 hectares and 300ft/250m long).>High control or high autonomy?I've never had one, so ideally an easy to use one.>Fast? Stable? stable. I dont' want to break it 5 minutes after turning it on lmao>Indoor or outdoor?outdoor>Photography? Selfie/tracking? FPV? Idgaf about selfies, tracking or FPV. as long as I can record video, I'm OK. tracking would be nice, though.ideally one with a high capacity battery also.
>>110198165>>110198224also, thanks anon for chiming in
>>110198196As I said I know very little about drones. I do know that there's world between indoor and outdoor use.Issue is that for fpv upfront cost is always gonna be high because you need a receiver, goggles and then drone and battery.I'd probably say something like 250-300$ for a budget "get me started" type indoor drone that has serious limitations but can be fun. Closer to 400-500$ for something you want to fly outdoors. Still budget though.Also keep in mind that in many countries drones will technically need "registration". Check beforehand, it's something to be aware of. Though there's always the question of how likely the fines are to be enforced.>>110198251You're welcome anon. I hope some other anon can post something that fits your requirement. Your requirements are at least well suited for cheaper aliexpress drones. Cameras have gotten really good (though a shitton of them will lie, so always check native resolution rather what they say, ideally look at review footage) and it's a fairly normal usecase.
>>110198296I think for a toy a low res screen would be fine, no need for goggles.I've seen those tiny drones with wifi streaming to a phone for as little as ~$20 but idk if they're actually usable.Drones are illegal where I live anyway, no sense spending much on one.
>>110198224i remember watching a vid on a $100 chinese drone a while ago. flies okay but the camera is choppy, warps and has low visual fidelity. also laggy.so yeah, the premium pricing on this is the camera quality. getting the drone up into the air is the easy part.
>>110198318>I think for a toy a low res screen would be fine, no need for goggles.Oh sorry, I massively misunderstood your aim because FPV implies goggles to me (though technically any drone with a live camera feed is fpv).For indoor and when you're okay with a wifi feed on a phone app that's potentially delayed I'd say like 50$ probably.

I'll buy their other model i guess... the eli fit, just to see how it goes.
>>110148865What mini PC's do you have
>>110198335>choppy, warps and has low visual fidelity. also laggyright, thanks anon. I guess that's what I will have to beware of and look for, some drone that has some kind of stabilization for its camera, at least for slow speeds.

Don't remember what AMD CPUs now.>>110148865Ended up buying two more mini PCs (I'm obsessed with these little fuckers), another thinkpad and another refurbished chinkheld (gpd 4 KINO with that physical keeb), a trackball mouse because I was always curious about them, a retro IBM style mechanical keeb and two controllers for fighting games (leverless/levered). There was a kali linux phone on sale too, and I almost impulse bought it too, but I figured I could turn almost any phone into that myself. Bought a pile of other non-/g/ related junk as well.

Alternatively, anyone have any recommendations for a dremel?Also looking for cooking related stuff that won't kill/poison me (or good deals on stuff like rice cookers, dehydrators, etc. small appliances).

/hsg/ directed me here:I need a portable HDD to plug into my PC's via USB, but everything is overpriced right now and I want to buy a refurbished or used internal HDD instead and just use a USB enclosureHowever, the only drives I can find for a really good price are SAS rather then SATA, and I can't seem to find a enclosure that will work with SAS drives that would function like a portable drive that's not obscenely overpriced, unless I'm just not looking in the right placesDo they not exist or what? Note that I probably wouldn't trust a enclosure from some random temu or alixpress store, I'm hoping for something more reputable then that I can get on Amazon or Newegg or Microcenter or something
>>110206282I got a Sequre SI012 Pro Max after someone shilled it here a month or three ago. It's definitely nice and heats in 4 seconds as advertised, but desoldering's been a bitch so I suspect I need to calibrate it.This question's asked one or more times every thread and often with different answers so I'd imagine it's pretty hard to go wrong these days.

How bad of an idea is it to try and make a mini PC out of a smartphone mobo? I've got my eyes on a Xiaomi 14 for some 150 eur, and i'm looking into getting a cooling tower, usb hub, 90W charger and a box to keep it in. Can the emulated windows or linux function good enough for low tier games like war thunder, youtube and maybe movies?

Tell me about 11.11 /csg/... are the savings gonna be real? Is there a point in waiting till 11.11 or can I use these coupons now? Would appreciate some advice since I'm new to AE...
>>110215637There's no special price drop for the actuall 11.11 dayThe sale prices you see now are what they'll be until the end of the saleAt most, you might see AliExpress throw up some slightly better coupons every once in awhile like $11 off $59 instead of the common $10 off $65
What the fuck is this??? Algorithim poisoning or something? Is this how they get weird results to show up in recommendation feeds?
Does AliEx still do livestreams where the zesty chink shills certain brands?
Should I buy the TC22 with the SSD01 stand or the one with the SSD02 stand? The difference is about twenty-five dollars. Also, for the sake of clarification, a T245 handle can only accept C245 cartridges, right? And if I want to use a, let's say, T12 cartridge, then I need to get a handle that accepts those types of cartridges? For context, I don't know shit about soldering, so this will be my first foray into it. RIght now I just need to solder a header onto a sensor for an embedded project.
>>110215673thanks! I think it's better to order sooner because of the shipping delays due to massive volumes on 11.11
>>110215772>Should I buy the TC22 with the SSD01 stand or the one with the SSD02 stand? I looked them up. SSD02 has a nicer layout and more tip storage. It also has silicone padding that won't damage tips. SSD01 has space for a huge sponge and has no padding for brass wool opening. I'd def go with SSD02. Also, dump the sponge and never use it. It's useless and damages tips.>Also, for the sake of clarification, a T245 handle can only accept C245 cartridges, right? Correct. All of the handles are specific to a cartridge. There are some USB irons that can accept several types of tips but none of those are JBC-style tips.>And if I want to use a, let's say, T12 cartridge, then I need to get a handle that accepts those types of cartridges?If you're gonna go with C245/T245, don't worry about T12... you don't need it. C245 is the best universal size and there's a huge variety of tips that should cover all your needs.Also, note that not all C245 tips are the same. Cheaper tips are absolute dogshit and don't work well and don't transfer the heat well. I've used some cheap ones and they were absolute crap. JBC tips are the goat but expensive. There's some decent cheaper tips out there.

>>110216336at times i've had to refresh 25+ retries until it appears. so this is why the time adds up to 1.5 hours a day - a lot of refreshing and prepping
>>110216360Pic related is from a while back but always makes me laugh.
>>110216416i used to max generators and fulfil the red orders at any price when they appear and got at minimum $7 a month. after min/maxing i get the full 11.50 but it adds a bit more time per day. the key is to not play if you don't have anything else to do on the side. shit will get boring really fast.
