If you click through, that is an external hard drive case. It's up to you to find a 30 TB drive to put in there. Good luck. And I've been burned by the storage scam. Live and learn.

There are so many great things to get from AliExpress, get those things, and not anything electrical and sensitive/important

I buy a ton of cheap electronic components like microcontroller boards and sensors from AliExpress and by and large they are fine. The soldering is sometimes a little dodgy but they nearly all work exactly as intended. No problems. I've watched enough BigClive to know to not buy anything that plugs into the wall or anything that could kill you if it failed in use.

What do you plan to use the arduino for ?

mobby_6kl posted:I did buy a pair of 14430 batteries for my hair trimmer from ebay and they actually measured slightly above the rated capacity (650 over 600mAh or so). The Roomba battery from banggood seems to be as good if not better than stock, though I haven't measured it yet. Definitely a bit of a gamble though but not buying ridiculously overrated stuff seems to help. also not buying from sellers that deal in obviously mislabeled goods is a good idea. I've seen forget sellers selling both 10000mAh and 300mAh 18650 cells, while the low one is mislabeled I wouldnt expect a 3500mAh battery from them to meet the advertised charge

I've seen some "honest" memory card listing that say what the real capacity of the card is, meaning they're not trying to scam you but they're trying to help you scam other people when you resell it without being as honest.

Hey guys, a goon from the Lego thread pointed me in this direction because I'm a new AliExpress customer and I can't place an order: I basically get a loop of me having to "verify" my account due to suspicious activity and I've repeated the process several times now. Has anyone gotten around this?

If you're using adblockers or script blockers - have a look through those and make sure you're allowing things like alipay and mmstat. I find that without those enabled aliexpress tends to go wonky.

I ordered a pair of those knockoff Ray-bans somebody recommended a bit ago (through Ali, not that rando dude you have to whatsapp) and they must have changed or something because these are garbage and not even close.

Has anyone gotten around this? Just try a different seller. The same product is usually available from at least 10 different stores and some of them are pissier about verification than others. You might pay an extra dollar or two but who gives a poo poo you're saving a ton already. One a while back wanted me to send a copy of my driver's license for a 4 dollar pencil case. Noooooooooope

I finally learned my lesson and am not buying any more clothing. Bought 2 shirts and a skirt for $47. All 3 items had beautiful prints on the fabric but completely bizarre, unflattering cuts. I tried take one in with needle and thread as someone suggested, but I have zero sewing skills and just ruined it. I could get nicer used clothing from reputable brands on eBay for the same price. I'm going to stick to writing and crafts supplies and silicone kitchen tools.

No results to "gay pens" Some results for "fancy pens":    E: plenty of cock shaped pens if you care to search for them.

Tachikawa is a good brand, if you're new and starting out, there's a starter kit by Deleter with a pen + Maru, G-Pen, and Saji nibs. You can also buy them off AX, but usually they're cheaper on Ebay.

just look for "drawing ink" on ebay/amazon/wherever. can't really recommend a brand, still testing a couple. usually the pricier ones have a nicer flow. there are japanese ones as well, but not sure they're worth it. go with mid-range.

Horrible Lurkbeast posted:I wonder if someone actually got harmfully radioactive goods from China. You can kind of tell when things are contaminated with something. I've thrown away a handbag and a couple of novelty gifts because they absolutely stank of chemicals. One of them was a toy egg thing that felt kind of damp. Also, a necklace that made my chest feel kind of buzzy.
