lol what angle do I hold this loving thing to get the back of my neck. This is gonna take some getting used to. (the mach3 is smaller and therefore still better for the tight spots around my ears) E: the deficiencies of the packed in blades is rapidly becoming apparent. Local shops had 5 packs for $7-10  so it looks like I'm going for the gusto and ordering 400 astra razors for $20The Bloop posted:I got them too and they're fantastic Kibbles n Shits posted:Pretty well, they are a little thin and flimsy compared to the ones you can get at the grocery store but for the price it doesn't matter. They are great for cleaning up ceramics, stove tops, sinks, bathtubs etc. I've even buffed a few blemishes off my car with them. edit: punctuation Cool. I look forward to using them in five months.

I would recommend a sampler pack before committing to that many blades. Astras were like a cheese grater for me, but ymmv. For my neck I like to use my shavette, it's kind of like a straight razor but uses the same double edge blades as a safety razor. Sadly I did not see any dirt cheap ones from Ali, I got mine on eBay a few years back for like $15. Edit: $10 Kibbles n Shits fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Mar 8, 2018 |

Kibbles n Shits posted:I would recommend a sampler pack before committing to that many blades. That sounds an awful lot like a reasonable and well thought out decision. I dare say that kind of thing has no place in this thread. E: I'm not waiting until the 14th for them to ship though. 'Free shipping for prime' doesn't mean prime shipping I guess. Cancelled that order for the crime of less than instant gratification. Bummey fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Mar 8, 2018 |

I've been really enjoying this. It's very convenient compared to having to fiddle around with the USB C plug every time I put my phone to charge. So these arrived a few weeks back, finally. They're silky smooth and quite comfortable. I haven't had any issue with them (yet), and the colour hasn't faded after one round in the washing machine. I only washed them at 30°C though, and they might yet lose their colour. So far, for 10$, I'm quite Ok with this. In things I ordered, I was looking for a good quality webcam deal, and I found this:  It can do 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and 480p at 120fps, which is quite impressive. The quality of the image looks really solid too based on the review they link on the page. Hasn't arrived yet, but I'll let you know when it does.

Does anyone have a BT game controller like this one? https://www.banggood.com/Universal-...ur_warehouse=CN I just got mine and it works fine except that the analog stick only behaves like a d-pad even in both game modes. That is to say, the system sees it as an analog axis but it's all or nothing, centered or fully left/forward etc. I only paid less than two bucks for it but still... mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Mar 8, 2018 |

I had a bunch of these, after a while it started to matter which way round they connected, which made them a pain to use if you plug your phone on overnight and wake up without having had it charge. Then I found the round ones that do power only, much better if a little bulkier.

I don't suppose AliExpress is any place to look for cheap Nvidia GeForce graphics cahahahahaha of course it isn't. Pisssss, my merely adequate onboard graphics card is the only thing keeping me from playing Nier: Automata.  Thanks again to this thread for reviews and suggestions! You haven't steered me wrong yet. The last of my previous order finally showed up, a trio of gorgeous holographic Born Pretty polishes. It was my first true Chinese Christmas, since the package tracking had punked out a couple weeks back when it hit the States and I had no idea where it was or when it would arrive. I have another couple of (color-changing) polishes in my current order that I'm looking forward to, too.

I've got a couple coming, so worst case I get 2x as long by swapping over the usb nubbin in my phone.

Should I have? I regularly wiped off the metal particles it seemed to find with a paper towel. Round ones are so much better if you can live with the size. Tiny little magsafe connectors for your phone!

I'll still try it if/when mine stop working, and they're cheap enough it's not the end of the world if they die.

Holy crap I actually won one of those freebie things. Looks like I'll be getting a small cherry blossom print rug  Edit: wait oh my god when I go on the listing page it shows cherry blossoms, but all the color options are actually just pictures of piglets. I'm going to get a mystery pig rug aren't I? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HUG...2311.0.0.YqnZ4O I hope it's judgmental guitar piglet!

Bit the bullet and ordered stuff from AE: one of the belts that showed up early in the thread and some jeans. The first showed up in a week (!) and the second in two weeks. So I'm impressed. Question: what minimum do people order? I try for 5 dollars and haven't had any complaints. Does anyone go lower?

Edit: ^^^^^^ Given the volume of my ordering, I'm thinking my mail carrier may be plotting my death. My purchases from Ali have all ranged between $0.25 and $180. Both the extremes were single item orders. Well, the one freebie too I paid a whole penny for, not sure if that counts though.

My biggest was actually as a proxy for my dad so he could get the phone price, it was a fire agate for my mother, over here it would have been about $4k, on Ali like 400. It’s like 12 lbs.

I don't think the mailman cares because they come in tiny tiny packages, like maybe half the size of a regular envelope.

She gave me a weird look the first time I said it. After turning it over in my head for a while, because that’s what I do, I’m wondering if she thinks I’m racist. But, c’mon. It is cheap and almost everything on the address label is in Chinese.

Bummey posted:freebie what now? I like mystery free things. If you use the app, the front page has a freebie section with a few dozen random items every day people can apply for to win, you get to pick two a day and if you get lucky and win you get the item for $0.01. The "catch" is that they expect you to leave a good review on the item with lots of pictures when you get it. I feel like I maybe heard you're more likely to get more free stuff in the future if you win and leave a really in-depth review? I could be imagining that. I've applied to my two freebies a day for months and this is my first time getting it. I'm pumped just to see what's actually on the dang rug.

The way Ali reviews go into depth and include a ton of pictures is highly suspect. Hope it's a pig e: it's almost all lady clothes that I can't wear. I mean, I could wear them but they probably wouldn't look good on me.  e2: oh, more categories. variety expanded Bummey fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Mar 10, 2018 |

Well, this arrived, and it delivers. It can do 1080p@30fps, but only if you use MJPG pixel format. I'm quite sure this is due to the USB2 connector that simply can't get the data rates done to deliver that amount of data uncompressed. With the uncompressed YUV format you can get 1080p@6fps and 480p@30fps, at least. Either way, the quality is solid, and the camera is really small, about a quarter of my palm. Well recommended for sure. Might just want to order an USB extension cable though, since the one it has is just 1m long.

^^^ Does it come exactly like that, unclipped naked PCB and all? Also potentially bad news for EU goons (until brexit that is): quote:The European Commission today formally demanded that the U.K. pay €2.7 billion into the EU budget after investigators found that British authorities allowed a massive Chinese fraud network to evade paying the appropriate level of customs duties. Hopefully this doesn't affect our 22 EUR tablets and laptops too much.
