Any aliexpress stores that sell Raspberry pi stuff?
The local stores in my country raise the prices by 100% even though they buy the stuff from china
>$15
How did I do?
>>60958132
You fell for the meme. Let's wait to see if it is more than just a meme.
Honest question: how much those thread are actual shilling?
Don't get me wrong, I've bought from aliexpress and bangood before, but threads like this one are literally viral advertising. Is this another move from hiro?
>>60958141
Probably just a meme.
Also bought this
>$4
>>60958132
That's actually fucking cheap
Those Jews at adafruit and pihut are selling the exact touchscreen for $45
>>60958158
I really doubt a bunch of neck wards are a large enough market share for a bunch of Chinks to actually go out of their way to shill on an American Japanese image board.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if their was a few shills that just lurked /g/ in general.
>>60958158
shills drop by, rarely
a few regulars try to pull affiliate link shit occasionally, but I don't think they should be mixed up with the actual shills
>>60958158
about 30% posts are shilling.
For example youtuber called
Comfy spams here and on discord gearbest shit all the time, he gets paid like 5% from all orders.
>>60958166
Amazing for the price

It sounds like he's in financial difficulty from what he said on his stream last week. Probably just trying to get by with whatever method he can.
>>60958491
Wait
What stream? Is there like a podcast for chinkshit? I can totally get onto that
>>60958526
There used to be a /csg/ podcast but it fizzled out. The discord was originally made to organise it.
>>60958526
I'm guessing the completely unrelated E3 stream that was shilled here.
>>60958526
There used to be a /csg/ Podcast but it didn't make it past two episodes because they tried making Awful reviews the host for episode 2 and that lazy fuck didn't even show up in time.
I wish I had a clear speaking voice with a clear American accent
I would have hosted the podcast myself

Lenovo P2 vs Redmi Note 4 64gb 4gb ram model
Which one should I get?
>>60958938
Redmi note 4x
Battery that lasts for 2 days
>>60958938
Lenovo is a widely known and respected brand.
Xiaomi is some meme you found on a Indonesian Twilight Fanfiction discuss group.
>>60958938
P2.
Battery is better, UI is million times better, Camera is better.
Everything is better.
Don't listen to Xiaomi shills.
>>60958996
Except the P2 is expensive af for not much more performance than Redmi Note 4. Price performance is fucked.
>>60958158
There are the xiaomi shills. They are paid to give bad impressions on good phones like Doogee Shoot 1.
>>60958996
What UI Lenovo p2 uses?
>>60959032
You can get P2 for 220€ in Banggood, not that bad desu.
>>60958938
If you can afford the P2, why are you comparing it against a $100 cheaper Xiaomi?
>>60959046
You should compare the P2 to a Mi5 or similarly priced phone then. No shit a cheaper phone performs worse than a Lenovo flagship sold next to Samsung phones with a contract. It's about the power to price ratio you get and Note 4 is more power than most people need for not a lot of cash.
>>60959032
Get Zuk Z2 best price performance
>>60959072
Xiaomi mi5 have shit battery I don't want that. Price difference between note and p2 is 60-70€ not that bad desu.
>>60959075
I don't want useless performance what would just drain battery. That's why I'm looking for snapdragon 600 series and large battery.
>>60957945
Just got this on the randomiser, don't know if you guys know about it already but seems pretty useful for watching movies in bed or whatever.

Redmi note 4x
Check Techtablets' review
I asked in previous thread but here we go again. Does anyone here have experience with cheap bluetooth speaker that isnt xiaomi?
>>60959170
Shit son
Would that be large enough to hold a Raspberry pi ?
>>60959170
L fuckin MAO
>>60959111
If 70 euro difference is not a big deal to you why are you asking our opinion? Just get whatever you want.
>>60959204
Fucking kek, didn't scroll down that far.
>>60959055
>If you can afford the P2, why are you comparing it against a $100 cheaper Xiaomi?
Xiaomi is not 100$ cheaper comparable model is note 4 64gb version with 4gb ram
What is this thing called in english? Screen/display/monitor something? Can you recommend me some cheap chink version for 2 24'' monitors.
>>60959272
>Redmi Note 4 64gb 4gb ram
cheapest at $172, often lower on sale
>Lenovo P2
cheapest at $249
Just under $100 difference you mong.
>>60959323
Forgot the picture.
>>60959335
249-172=77
>>60959349
I said just under $100 and the Redmi Note 4 64gb is often as low as $150. It's just more pricey due to demand right now.
>>60959359
>It's just more pricey due to demand right now
Why there is high deman atm?
>>60959372
because it has good price/performance and reviews. Only the gold version is in stock most places.
>>60959359
Yep, though build quality, nfc almost pure android etc. are good with Lenovo P2 though.
>>60959385
Isn't it quite old model already?
>>60959336
desk mount
>>60959336
is it not just monitor stand or vesa mount
or or maybe monitor arm

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/T-bao-Tbook-R8---SAPPHIRE-BLUE-380299.html
>>60959390
it only came out in January this year and Redmi phones often launch at a more expensive price then become reasonable a few months in. See the prices for the Mi6 right now.
>>60959422
>>60959422
Thanks, trashed the idea though, because seems like really expensive compared to even my country.

Where to buy chink Raspberry pi accessories?
I dont want to get jew'd by adafruit

Their are all made in China
Right now, I have a 3736f teclast x98 3g dual boot.
Is there anything better I could get for less or around 200usd?
How do I even compare atoms? There are so many variants of seemingly the same speed CPUs.
I'm looking for something with a pen (I draw on go, unless chink pens are useless) and/or a 3g modem.
A year ago i listened to you /g/uys and bought the xiaomi piston 3s and they were AMAZING, after breaking them 2 months ago i bought the rock zircons and imo they are terrible, they're not comfortable, they don't sound as good as the pistons and they don't fit well, also the braided part is too hard. I bought them from the official rock store from ali.
Now then, would you recommend the xiaomi hybrid pros? (Considering they're the best xiaomi has to offer) or should i just get another pair of piston 3?
I don't know why but I'm just not enjoying my zircons... It might be just because they don't fit my ears too well (although i love the L Jack).
>>60960140
Piston 3 are out of production, not available any more. Get the KZ ZS5 mentioned in the OP news
>>60959839
Stau away from atoms. The performance difference between generations are minimal, sometimes even negative.
Get at least a Core M
I bought a 10000 mah Power bank 1 year ago. At the time it charged my phone 3 times.
Now it barely charges it once.
What happened?
Do the more expensive powerbanks suffer from this issue as well?
>>60960243
I would really prefer straight-down cable rather than behind the eat.
Shame about the piston 3 though...
>>60954098
Is H&Q Electronic Store fine?
>>60960323
Have you recalibrated the wattometers?
>>60960394
if they have a good feedback score and a decent amount of orders then you'll be fine
>>60960140
i loved my piston 3s as well. lasted me a long time until i misplaced them on a trip.
i cant speak to the hybrid pros but i would warn against the non-pro ones if you were considering them. bought them to replace my piston 3s and found the braided cable wore very quickly near the jack. audio began to drop eventually.
sparked me to to look into bluetooth earphones and i took a chance on the ones offered by xiaomi. still waiting on them, hope i don't get memed again.

>>60961068

See pic.
Seems that China is enforcing copyright. The world as we know it is over.
I am the anon that ordered the fabric prints. I just received this email and the link to their ali shop is closed but the order still shows as "The seller has shipped your order" so I guess this does not affect my order. No? Or did I get chinked?
>>60961088

It's some bullshit to confuse people.
It means it will ship in 2-7 days. God knows when its going to be delivered
>>60961538
So the latter? It's slow even for the chinks to take whole 7 days just to start shipping it.
What's worse it means they don't even bother giving standard shipping time. I'd better avoid this shitty store.

No, in the moment I input interesting product pages (stuff like bikinis, stockings, panties, etc.). This is something I may automate however in the same categories
>How much data does this thing use?

are the KZ ZS5 available with a bluetooth cable for wireless play or do they only come with a normal cable?

I wouldn't say there's a clear winner, a lot of them are decent with variations that come down to personal preference. People rave about the Jinhao 250, 750 and 550 but I find them to be nothing special desu. I reccommend the Baoer 801 as an extremely affordable first pen that writes nicely and looks great, though it is relatively small and thin so if you have yaoi hands it might not be as good.

How long odes it take for GearBest to deliver something? Want to get that Hi10 Pro that's on sale but from looking on eBay there's sellers that have it in stock locally for about $30 extra. I'd be willing to pay that if GB takes like three to four weeks to deliver.

stop this meme, it almost never happens because they always lie on the declaration form.
>>60964373
I'm in Ireland. Every piece of electronics that's shipped from China gets charged customs, you won't get away with it. They know the declaration forms are all lies. They ask for the original paypal receipt.
>>60964411
What are the customs rates like?
>>60964373
Dunno where you live but here the customs check pretty much every package, the declared value doesn't mean shit if they can see it's a smartphone in the x-ray
>>60964424
23% of the value for VAT for anything over €30 and up to €150. For items over €150 you pay a customs duty based on what "category" the item is but its 0% for Electronics.
>>60964506
Pretty much same here in Finland, except we pay 24% VAT on anything over 22€
>>60964354
The cards the Ali sellers make are actually pretty great but they are really annoying to buy. The cheapest ones are in a premade sets of like 50 or 100 that you can't change, you usually get singles of the main cards. Decent if you want a cube or something. If you want 4x of cards you need the "custom" sets which are about $30 for 100. At that price point you'll know they're fakes but if it's for home use who cares. If you're trying to pass them off at FNM as real then be prepared to spend like $3 to $5 a card. Seems expensive but better than the $150 per fetch land or whatever.

Fake it till you make it. Try speaking in the yankiest accent you can muster even if you think it sounds silly and keep at it until it sticks.

Serbia:
Order 3$ doohickey... pay 20% VAT (IF they believe the chink declared value), pay 1.5$ "opening fee" to the customs... pay 1.5$ "money collecting fee" by the post.
If over 75€, you pay all that, + 20-30% import tax, and 50-150€ on importing costs.
A year ago, they usually ignored sub 20$ purchases and all that, but these days they are fucking us right up every orifice.
>>60964506
Am I misunderstanding or is there no VAT above €150?

That really sucks. Irish customs won't chase you for anything under €22 or if the VAT would be lower than €8 which effectively makes the limit closer to €30

Depends where you live. In my city, they were always applying VAT to everything. And of course, one additional week of waiting when item actually arrives in Serbia.
On unrelated note, any good stores for buying headphones?
>>60965470
I think when Apple stopped making those monster iPods, they used those really tiny spinny disks (Toshiba?) that fit on a CF card, and I guess they stopped making those disks, or at least in the quantity that Apple needed. Or maybe demand got so low it wasn't worth making the minimum order.
Of course now we have 128GB micro SD cards, but Apple never wants to make anything with a slot when they can solder it in from the start, for twice the price. No reason why a chink MP3 player couldn't do that, though. Imagine an MP3 player built around an M2 flash card. You could play FLACs forever.
>>60963572

Any finn ordered phone from china here? Was it caught in customs?
If anyone is considering buying any phone from gearbest, don't. I bought an OnePlus 3t, the phone arrived, the box was obviously opened, and the phone did not boot on the setup screen,instead it was already set up with China timezone. Chinks fucked me over.

Give me a sec to resize images lads. I tried refund they offered me 35 euro tops. I escalated to paypal and they told me to return the item (I pay for postage).
I'm trying to revive an old hp g62 that a friend wanted to throw away.
The screen doesn't turn on, after I disassembled it, I found out that the connector of the cable marked in pic related is broken and doesn't have any pins to connect it in the motherboard.
Any idea what is the name of this cable so I can order one online?
>>60966035
pic related
these pics are from a working g62 disassembly process I found online
>>60965958
>>60965971
Here we go lads. As you can see they taped it with a void tape. This is how the box was shipped. It was shipped in a plastic bag with a air bubble "cage".
>>60966162
This is the China time zone setting
>>60966162
They probably installed a global rom (or if you're unlucky a vendor rom) on there, which is why the void tape is broken. It's still a new phone.
>>60966187
I also bought a screen protector. Very high quality and so cheap!

stinky chinky pounces again
they're never going to be "officially" recognized as shit by these threads due to regulars being in bed with them
>>60966199
I broke the void tape. My bad for not mentioning it. Still, they did not imply or flat out admit that the phone would be with opened box or anything.
>>60966246
Also, forgot to mention. The reason the void tape marking looks like this, is because they closed the box in the wrong orientation.
Is there anything like the Mgicforce kbrd in Iso layout ?
>>60966213
I never had anything similar happen to me dude. The thing that surprised me is, that paypal, after I refused the 35 euro refund, told me to return the item. Like they won't claim that the phone isn't in the original condition and fuck me other twice. Fuck that I'll either keep it or sell it. Avoid Gearbest
>>60966294
Next time order from Aliexpress there at least have Jack Ma looking over for you.

Is the NodeMCU even worth it nowadays? the Raspberry Zero worths pretty much the same, being far, far faster and you can pretty much use it as an IC
>>60966294
Bought two phones there, along with plenty of other stuff, and never been chinked.
Only prob with gearbest is that if something is out of stock they just won't send it. You have you get in touch and get a refund manually.
>>60966566
Next time Aliexpress/ebay for expensive stuff, other chink sites for whatever.
>>60966586
I haven't ordered much from them, only a usb cable and an external drive casing, shipping was fairly fast, didn't expect to get chinked to be honest.
>>60966162
>>60966246
>>60966266
You didn't get chinked, they just opened it for whatever reason.Ask them, you kind of should have before you hit that panic button on paypal.
It looks to be a new phone that they opened, just make sure you've got the proper rom associated with OnePlus 3t on there and not some Chinky modified one with added malware.
/G/uys could somebody give me a good chink Bluetooth headphone for sports under 10$?
>>60966800
Phone was already set up mate. Why would they boot up and set up the phone? I did ask them they offered me store credit the first time. I kept pushing and they went up to 15$. Then I went to paypal. Phone fortunately has the official oxygenOS rom.

>>60967012

the adapter only works for three types of Bluetooth controllers, and not anything else.
>>60967056
Thats the first thing i did but AFAIK those controllers use bluetooth connectivy so i dont see how that wouldn't work as a regular adapter.
Either way, i was just asking in case someone else bought one, if not then ill just do it myself and post some feedback when it arrives.

Does anyone know if the Chinese make bootleg pressings of records?
I've been wondering if they do this, but I couldn't find any when I looked on aliexpress or DHgate. I'm guessing that it is out there, but I just don't know how to find it. The Chinese make a lot of fakes that have less marketability than this, so I would assume that they are out there somewhere and I am not looking hard enough.
>>60959170
Something similar but for the surface pro will be gold.
>>60967645
Taobao
>>60967645
The Chinese don't do them, its the ex Soviet pressing plants that do them. There's no real central place to find them but VinylDigital in Germany is a good place to find them. They seem to have a connect with whoever makes them. What kind of stuff are you after? Its usually stuff that doesn't get pressed to vinyl or super expensive records that get booted.
