>>52863921

I wouldn't buy anything from DX since they don't publish negative reviews of products.

I have tried to review a shitty product couple a times but they always say my product was somehow faulty and thus I'm not eligible to review it. Then they ask me to send it back to China for refund.

I'd go for it fammo.

My venture electronics monk earbuds arrived yesterday. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed so far. Looks like the fags over at head-fi weren't full of shit like I suspected after all.

Recco me a decent ratchet screwdriver and precision screwdriver set /g/. That one ganzo g704 knife looks beast but do they have any OTF knives like the OTF Lightning?

Also that xiaomi router looks pretty slick but it's default OS kind of scares me

Saw nothing worth mentioning. Stick with Wera or PB Swiss if you want decent.

> precision screwdriver set
LAOA or BEST sets are usually good enough.

Just some standard web interface. Use Chromium to get it translated if it's one that has no English firmware yet (some models do).

>>52865023

>>52865111
Chinese QC is mostly decent to excellent (Apple, Xiaomi...), actually, but it depends on what you buy.

So what are the fastest shitty Windows tablet you can buy from China?

Any chinese tabs I can install GNU/Linux on?

>>52864922
All I see are ones for 10-20usd. Surely cheaper ones ads exist for the brands in the list. It's just a wall charger, just want a dual one to save outlets.

>>52865218
10-20 USD are cheap to normal for decent USB chargers with 2 * 2A and support for a bunch of devices.

That said, there are $2 housefire electrocution chargers:

They won't usually have quick charging protocols except sometimes for Apple and Samsung, so mostly you get 0.5A.

>>52865261

I heard you bought it at a barber shop.

>>52865220
Thanks mate.

>>52865272
By cheaper I meant in comparison to Amazon.com which I can find 4.2amp dual USB chargers for ~8usd. Seems good to me unless I am missing something.

>>52865333
Arguably, that's also $10 - but yea, seems okay on a glance.

Getting more detailed reviews like on

Thanks for info link. I've never had issues with USB wall chargers but I've only used the .5a or 1a rated ones. I guess little can go wrong with them at that level. I want a high amp one with more ports but I understand they can be literal housefires and need more due diligence in purchase. Case in point this aukey brand

>>52865863
This one actually makes sense though.
Mechanical keyboard general? Absolute shit. No need for it.
Thinkpad general? Again, absolute shit, no need. Too narrow of a field for a general.
Priv Tracker general? What's the point even?
90's computer general seems to be a fucking joke, I can't even take it seriously.
>Pens and mechanical pens general
What the fuck. I didn't even know THAT existed. Fuck, what a shit thread idea.

So, the point of this post? CSG isn't the worst of the bunch and at least makes sense, seeing as its a very broad range of items.

If you want the best earbuds you should wait for the VE MONK to come back in stock. I think they are in stock but you can't buy it right now because of china holidays. You can usually send the guy an e-mail and he will send it to you.

These earbuds are insane for the price.

Anyhow, maybe one reason against it is that Xiaomi had the idea to introduce boot loader unlock codes on newer phones, which you need to use before you can replace the boot loader or root on most of 'em.

Don't write them off yet that product just seems to be a bad egg. Their 12w 2.4amp dual port and 30w 6amp tri-port get stellar reviews and pass a lot of independent testing it seems. Notably the 30w. Goes for cheap as well off Amazon.

After looking into it more it looks like anything quickcharge certified causes problems across the board.

>Redmi Note 3
>Redmi Note Pro

ain't these two different models ? not to mention that they both have 3 sub-models
I was thinking of getting the x10 because i would only use it for reading, taking notes, shitposting.
And less performance could be considered an advantage when it comes to battery life. Also i would flash some slimmed down ROM on it. The other thing is that it doesn't support certain 4g/lte networks, but it would be used on wi-fi exclusively.
Thanks for the tip tho i'll have a look at those "unlock codes".

>>52869626
I'm not sure the Helio X10 is at an advantage when both are stepped down (like happens when you just read).

One thing that might matter: The Redmi Note 3 Pro has a microSD slot again (Redmi Note 3 doesn't, the predecessor Redmi Note 2 has it).

Unlike with the Redmi Note 2, it is taking up one of the SIM slots on the Redmi Note 3 Pro, but at least you have that option.

> Thanks for the tip tho i'll have a look at those "unlock codes".
http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html

Looking at the Redmi Note 3 forums, I think they found a way to root *without* unlocking now, but then you can't OTA update the usual way, or use TWRP to backup your device (guess you'd have to make do with MIUI's own backup software, or Titanium backup after rooting).

I still think it's a very annoying "feature" Xiaomi added. Few other Chines companies have locked bootloaders.

>>52869394
> Don't write them off yet that product just seems to be a bad egg.
So, you suggest that we perhaps list specific models instead?

> After looking into it more it looks like anything quickcharge certified causes problems across the board.

>>52870820
I decided to go with the Pro as it was only a little bit more and if the battery doesn't last long enough for me I can fiddle with the settings and try and limit turboboost or something.

If I had gone with the Plus and lacked power I'd always be annoyed I didn't get the faster model.

>>52870832
I've removed (replaced it with Orico) from my update / fork thing of the list.

Thanks for the seconda opinion. I figure it might be better to keep it off the recommendations.

>>52871359
I think it would get painfully long if we added all things to avoid? It might better suit some filterable database.

Better to just consider them judgement calls / things you should investigate, and list safe / nice options for ease of shopping?

>>52872020
I don't think one should compare earbuds and IEMs. IEMs are usually much better. VE MONK is an exception though.

You can't really go wrong with it. It's 5 bucks.

I see a lot of people here recommending Xiaomi Pistons. But there are tons of great chinese IEMs.

Almost any IEM from 'Easy Earphones (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/519064)' is a great choice. Personally, I recommend the SENFER UE or the Easy UE (2 and 3). .

Cool stuff, I'm going to order an Orico 4 port mains charger from Amazon UK and see how this one goes.

Looking at the charger/cable stuff on Aliexpress, Orico, Aukey and Anker all virtually look the same. You do wonder if they are made in the same factory complex and just a have a different name slapped on?

Orico is the OEM for some Anker gear and others, yes, but I don't think the brand belongs to them.

>>52872511
Customs is a national thing. I don't think it happens to US citizens doing private imports?

Even in general, very often small items / cheap shipments like that are excluded from customs.

But you need to know how it is in your place...

Is the VR box 2 any good? I'm mostly looking to use it for reading ebooks or watching videos while laying down.

I'm thinking of getting a few rechargable batteries and leaving the alkaline battery jew behind.

How much are the shipping prices on turnigy batteries? I am wondering because I saw starter set of eneloops at a local discount store for $20, and it came with 8 AA cells and a charger.

The guide also mentioned the Li-ion cells. What type would I get to use in AA powered thingys?

>>52873191
Yes, was reported good like 1-2 threads ago & has the matching ratings on stores. It should definitely be quite good.

I can't however tell you how suitable it is as eBook reading device.

>>52873132
This kind of endurance usually requires a big drone, not a fun little quadcopter. Or an electrical glider plane, these fly a lot longer.

But you know you can swap batteries and also fairly quickly charge lithium packs, right?

>>52872867

Was there any difference in sound between the KZ ATE and KZ ATE-S?

>>52873406
> How much are the shipping prices on turnigy batteries?
Depends entirely on warehouse picked, where you live, and quantities shipped. I think you'll have to check.

If you can't get them cheap, then you still could just get Amazon Basics or Eneloops locally, from eBay or Japan, and only get the charger from China. Or make do with GP ReCyko / Ikea Ladda / other cheap LSD NiMh.

> The guide also mentioned the Li-ion cells. What type would I get to use in AA powered thingys?
They are almost all not intended as drop-in replacements for 1.2V cells.

There are just an increasing number of devices that use these newer, better lithium batteries. Which sometimes have step-up voltage converters to alternatively also work with AA. But they're new devices. The old ones won't do Lithium chemistry batteries in general.

>>52873615
Doubt it, KZ has so many versions it's mind boggling.

ED4 and ED9 are the top tier ones according to most people.

I'm hoping it will fit in this case with my WiFi Pineapple NANO

Bought the biggest Xiamoi battery pack, should be here tomorrow, anyone know how many times over it would charge an HTC One M8?

>>52873917
There were some posts on Head-Fi that had a small comparison of a bunch of them, at least how they sound to that person. I wonder if anyone ever is going to buy and do "a lot" of them. There are so many...

Well, I *did* add some of my favorites that I think are superior to other models for one or another way into the guide, to the existing -I think it was two- entries...

>>52873917
I have the ATE and the ZS1. The ATE is OK the ZS1 is far better but is still lacking. I would say if you want a good IEM save up and buy something from /hpg/.

I bought a Anker PowerCore 20100 20000mAh charges the iPhone 6s seven times, the Galaxy S6 five times or the iPad mini 4 twice.

>>52873960
I was slightly sarcastic, doesn't translate well over the internet. 15Ah worth of flat packs + safe electronics cost more, for all I know.

That said, I sure hope it works for you! The idea of having it all in a small pouch is pretty fancy, I guess.

what the fuck are these

I've seen identical models for the same price labeled as inverters, boost converters, transformers, and they all use the same copied and pasted specs

I bought two and I tried to reverse engineer one, but it was actually potted pretty well and I couldnt figure it out

>>52873962
Seems to have a 2.6Ah battery (3.6V rating)?

The 20Ah battery pack of Xiaomi's will have ~90% efficiency at the 5V output, and maybe the HTC M8 can charge it's battery with like 80% efficiency (perhaps this is a bit high... not sure).

5.5 is the result of that, but well, maybe around 5 times. Perhaps 4.

PS, since that wasn't very helpful overall: Some things you can do to reduce the risk: Charge this in a fireproof location. Discard if it develops any bloating.

Measure whether it reduces and terminates the charging at some point + how much power you put in and how much comes out with a small USB meter. Measure temperature on the pack with any means you like (strip thermometer or IR thermometer are the obvious means).

So, uh, is the filesystem correct?

You know, if the device requires like FAT32 or NTFS, or ext4 or whatever, is it that and not exFAT?

>>52874957 (cont'd)
By the way: Crappy implementations of the respective filesystem support additionally may also require the correct block size or a partition table of the right type.

This shit ain't high school m8.

60% of students graduate in 6 years.
Less than 2/3rds of students graduate on time.

I don't understand why people rush to graduate as quickly as possible. Do you think companies want to hire the youngest possible workers? Fuck no, they would rather have someone older if they had the same experience.

did you get them for yourself or your partner? are you a qt?

>>52881059
not a problem gook

>>52881633
myself. i find self-restraint really calming. can be fun in a more sexual way if you're creative, too, but i imagine it's a lot more fun with a partner to lock you up and tease you!

>>52881571
It's the leather treatment & color. Good thing they don't use that one on figures.

Whats the best place to buy knock off anime figures

>>52882207
>buying knock off pvc

not worth it unless you are going to scam other dudes at cons or ebay

>>52882219
Hmm that does sound fun but alas I've made a strict rule for myself to never attend any conventions

>>52876771
what the hells a fingerbox? and how is this CSG?

>>52882207
e2046 makes excellented pre-painted knock-offs, but they often cost more than the originals (at least for PVC models at pre-order prices).

Also for cheap, Aliexpress. The famous characters usually got knock-offs, like this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-pcs-set-Nendoroid-Petit-Vocaloid-figure-Good-Smile-Hatsune-Miku-Action-Figures-Toy-for-girls/32360890588.html

Note that product shots often are from original China-made-for-Japan manufacturing, and your knock-off's paint job will often be worse. But not necessarily much worse every time.

bought from e2046 once for a prepainted gk; pretty good but they are really fucking expensive

also, have you even seen the pictures in your link? while i must applaud the seller for taking real pictures, there is some massive QUALITY going on there.

> bought from e2046 once for a prepainted gk; pretty good but they are really fucking expensive
Yep. They're only attractive for figures that always were fucking expensive (Volks or whatever) or have very limited availability on the market and extremely inflated prices. Or if you paint them yourself, which is a lot of work.

> while i must applaud the seller for taking real pictures, there is some massive QUALITY going on there.
Obviously, but I know some people don't care as long as it's better than a random fast food chain or movie merchandise figure.
