Snowmankilla posted:I feel like I have read through the whole thread but still have a question. Anyone bought actual fancy (bootleg) LEGO sets off Ali? I want the DB9 set, but not for $200. Is it worth $35? Several. I got the caterham 7 for myself, which I think was missing one brick but looks great, and I've bought my brother the old technic endurance car that he says is great. I have cheaper ones too, a unimog which is cool but the elastic band suspension broke after like a month, and a couple of ford GTs I haven't got around to building yet. They're well worth the fraction of the real price you pay on ali. I don't know how well they'd hold up if you gave them to a kid, but for looking cool on a shelf they're perfect.

Also get an SD card rated for dashcams, the constants writes to the card ruin regular SD cards in about 6 months. Ah neat, will give that a browse. Thanks! Shut up Meg posted:Just FYI, we have a dashcam thread of its very own: Ha, yeah everything I know (not much) about dashcams is from his channel. Yeah he hasn’t rated many recently, I watch pretty much everything he puts up even if it doesn’t directly interest me. Yeah it’s hot as balls down here so that sounds a good plan, especially if I’m parked with no shade. The Yi will be my top runner for now then, definitely makes it a bit easier just relying on amazon. Thanks!

Apparently my 7 year old is getting a Super Mario Bros birthday party in November... Any great stuff on Ali for this? I saw some plush keychains for like a dollar that I'll probably get as party favors (should be around 10 kids max)

There are so many cheap options that are bio-safe that I'd be surprised if they were using anything else. That watch dial is almost certainly phosphorescent rather than tritium or whatever.

The risk isn't that they substituted in something more expensive and toxic, but used leftover mystery filler to stretch a production run.

Facebook Aunt posted:Are you ever sad that your finger nails don't match your car paint? Worry no longer! Chameleon Pigments Acrylic Paint Powder Coating Chameleon Dye for Cars Arts Crafts Nails Decoration Painting Supplies has got you covered! To be fair, that's basically just fancy pigment for automotive paint. In the instructions they specify that you need to supply your own varnish, curing agent, solvent, spray gun, filter, and (presumably? lol) safety equipment.

Wait, so can you not see the footage of someone stealing it? I assume it broadcasts the recording to your pc or phone or something right? Or is it just that it records it on to the sd card on the camera and you have to go physically retrieve the card to actually get the footage...

I have the original Mario one with just a Goomba and a coin and that cost me over 40 bucks so 30 isn't that bad. Easily the best Mario action figure on the market. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32323651549.html

Charles Bukowski posted:So did someone say there was a fitness tracker worth buying on Ali? The Huawei Band series is 100% selling your info to the Chinese government and making a backdoor to your phone. It's also by far the best deal on the market, and I've had 3 versions whose worst problem was that firmware updates can be random and dumb and frequent so sometimes things change for no reason... but it never borked or anything, just like the heart tracking options would change, revert, be new, revert, go back to the old way, then be new again.

Got all my aliexpress orders, gonna post some customer images once I can be bothered to take them. The android head unit from banggood is still stuck somewhere  If you ever wondered how the Chinese actually recycle our trash, well, they put it in shoes and sell it back to us:   The russian translation for space is space... as in outer space. I know it's a dumb google translate thing but I imagined a Men in Black scenario with actual galaxies being contained between a shoe and some lady's toes and laughed like an idiot.

Horse Clocks posted:Evidently not. Ah dang. I feel like there must be some way that I'm not thinking of to have that set up a little better. Maybe if you have an old phone or laptop or something that you can have stashed in your trunk where it can send footage? I guess that won't help if someone just flat out steals your car though. I dunno.

With the prices likely increasing dramatically starting next month because of the USA withdrawning from the International post office Union are you all stocking up on anything? The days of $1 pins may be over. Personally I've been stocking up on fountain pens and cheap cables. For reference: https://www.lawfareblog.com/withdrawal-universal-postal-union-guide-perplexed

Other countries will probably be fine. A Brazilian friend of mine said shipping (and item cost) were way higher for him than for my European self. Where I had a shipping cost of just 83 cents, he'd have to pay the equivalent of 3.something euros.
