I have about $40 to blow on Christmas stuff, anyone have any recommendations? Last year I went all in on pins and patches and people seemed to like that but I'd rather not just repeat the same thing this go around.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:speaking of fingers and phallic objects, has anyone else bought fountain pens off ali? this one seems pretty dope: Generally, buy 2 jinhaos get 1 good one or maybe 2. As others no have said their qc is kind of lovely but for $8-10 you'll get a decent FP.

gently caress!! I bought them from a different listing awhile ago, but they didn't have sixes and nines, they had sixes and uhh mirrored sixes (not a thing). So obviously I had to buy two pairs to get one correct pair... e: these https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32861892376.html Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Nov 19, 2019 |

Hirayuki posted:I hate to harp on this, but: how's the latency? You can probably check this most easily by watching a video or playing a game instead of just listening to music. I like the idea of wireless headphones and have had this model on my wishlist for ages, but I need zero latency (or extremely close to it) for my work. My little TaoTronics earbuds don't cut it. It's bad on almost any Bluetooth headset. Let me quote some rando from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/9eszmz/is_there_a_fix_for_bluetooth_audio_delay/ posted:That's normal for Bluetooth. There's also some comments that Bluetooth 4.1 devices have better latency, but mainly it's a matter of what audio codecs the headset/transmitter support. [edit] I started reading more about Bluetooth audio in general, and christ it's a shitshow of competing standards. JointHorse fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Nov 19, 2019 |

I watch a lot of talking head videos and haven't noticed anything on my PC. But I've only used it for a few hours because I didn't have a dongle on PC until today. time will tell playing games. I'm used to my Logitech G930s which were a bit laggy so I'll probably notice an improvement.

I pretty much only use the T7 Bluedios to watch youtube car related videos with lots of talking or downloaded movies and I have not noticed any annoying out of sync or lagging but I am definitely not a power user

Thanks for checking. I might still get a pair for not-work--it's not like I need the freedom of Bluetooth while I'm tied to my computer, after all. The model that accepts onboard (micro?) SD cards is intriguing, too.

The model that accepts onboard (micro?) SD cards is intriguing, too. Trip report from right now. Around me at the moment I am in quite a noisey environment: Delta 3D printer to my right about a metre away, a box fan to my left about 2 metres away and an old DL380 2U server screaming its tits off and I can barely hear any of it!

Do you have a chainsaw? Does it have a dull blade? Do you find regular sharpening services too expensive? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33026077441.html This could be more dangerous than that angle grinder blade from 100 pages ago.

Quick question folks - I live in London and haven't had anything through from Aliexpress for ages I ordered the frog pin in July and it never turned up, and the replacement isn't here either. And a few things from 6-8 weeks ago are still missing too Anyone else in the same boat?

Some people never get what they ordered, some get extra stuff the didn't order, it all averages out in the end.

More than once, I've received a refund for a super-late item, only to have it eventually arrive. I just got a t-shirt I ordered in August, it arrived November 4th.

Maybe it's something to do with all the protesting and unrest in Hong Kong, considering it's a major international airport? There was some stuff about protestors getting onto the tarmac at one point and they shut the airport down for a few days I think

Well I'm sorry but I don't know if the dragon was UL certified. No, sir, I don't see any intrinsic connection between fires and dragons.

Has anyone tried the SF Express shipping option on Ali? I have another custom duvet I want to get for a friend and would like it by Xmas, the page states: and I'd love to believe I could get my parcel in a maximum of 15 days for £1.66 but I am definitely  about it.
