I don't think that's a real LEGO set, it looks like they somehow copied this person's design? (link isnt the source, source is an image gallery of a builder linked in the article)

Yeah, Lego has never released that. The knockoffs will now take people’s MOC’s (my own creation) and copy and sell them, sometimes giving credit and paying a royalty fee.

Hilarious to me that as soon as they have the exclusively licensed (or not) IP they jack up the price to crazy LEGO retail amounts

Of the two sentences that you wrote, I lack the memetics context to parse them. I kinda feel I understand what these references mean, but if hypothetically I were a dumb idiot who didn't know, would you explain?

VPN is off and wasn't even on GER at the time.

I have several devices with three different language settings and AliExpress seems to just pick randomly which completely inexplicable translation it's going to offer me. I tried to set it to English so often because those texts are the most understandable but I don't bother anymore. I guess I'm one of the people who is to blame for this mess on your end.

I'm sorry but also enjoy your linguistic enrichment! I promise you I don't understand much more than you when they try to translate the English text.

I got one of these things too and I'm using it with a raspberry pi so I can remote control my cable box and watch tv remotely. It works ok although the raspberry pi isn't really fast enough except at a really low resolution.

The hdmi capture device isn't perfect (I think people looked at it and it maybe effectively isn't quite capturing full 1080p despite the resolution of the video it puts out and it uses mjpeg) but it appears to handle hdcp and for the prices they're going for they're pretty good.

I think you can actually just buy them off amazon with two day shipping too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CWQGN5

We get spoiled by free shipping, even when it's kind of fake and built-in. However, I would say the shears are definitely worth it for 20 bucks total.

Ali express has been great, it has made me much cheaper across-the-board, where I was already pretty cheap. But every once in a while you do have to be willing to pay more than three dollars for something, I know, it pisses me off too :argh:

It's slightly noticable playing directly through OBS. Not a factor if splitting to TV/PC. I managed to play Wipeout which it pretty twitchy.
