It's the British motorcycle company. Specifically the current version of it, not the original company before it collapsed.

Just wait until you see the counterfeit Yamaha instruments, bearing the logo of Yamaha Motors. vs  Yes, both of these are the real logos but the top one goes on french horns and the bottom one goes on a boat engine.

Someone recommended that mono ear bud a while back, and I got the wife to order a couple cause she always listens to poo poo as she goes to sleep. They've been great, no issues and they were like $3 or something.

Baseus has two models. This is ok:  This is better:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002098756476.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.775138daUKq4C5&mp=1 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001132864348.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.775138daUKq4C5&mp=1 They even cost the same... but the second one has $5 shipping which makes it twice the cost of the first one  has anyone seen a charger that can legit do it? Many are just bullshit fake "60W" nonsense.

Id' go with a brand name like anker or something for anything that plugs in, not worth saving $5 on something that can gently caress up your $900 phone. liek I always toss the ones that come in SWAG bags / at event booths or whatever kuz I assume they're poo poo. Someone I know blew up their phone with one.

On a road trip last week, and I have a car charger from a conference booth and my Pixel 6 was literally draining while plugged in, even with the phone off. It used to work fine with my previous phone. This poo poo doesn't need to be so complicated. But yeah, never buy anything that plugs in on AE

It's a fair point, but we don't have Anker here and I think Baseus is about as legit as Blitzwolf, which has been solid in my experience so I'm willing to risk it  busalover posted:I have a cigarette lighter on my bike, but never used it.

By popular demand posted:It has been claimed that those keep on collecting tiny steel fragments from the environment until you can't connect them anymore, I'm interested in learning the truth. I tried them for a while with my prior (8 year old) phone, and they collected little magnetic fragments (from my pockets?) constantly. You can't brush them out since they get inside a groove on the connectors and stop them from connecting. You can pick them out with a toothpick but it's a pain. Still kept the phone running a bit longer, the USB port on it was really dodgy in its later years. If they were designed to be 1mm deeper or something, with the terminals above the "gutter" they'd work better since they'd have some crud tolerance.

I looked into the magnetic cables. I think the round headed ones are best for me since you can rotate the cable freely. There are 2 kinds, 1-pin charge only and the 6-pin charge and data. I brought the 6-pin ones but I probably should have brought the 1-pin, because the 1-pin tips are cheaper you can get a lot of 15 micro tips for $5. I only intend to convert my micro USB things into easier to plug connectors. I got lot of Bluetooth earphones and vape pods i can use them. I don't want to use it on my phone because the tip still extends too much out of my phone case.

I had a Baseus usb hub that was pretty solid until it disappeared off my desk. I think I had an baseus power bank too but not certain. They’re a cheap brand but they’re sold locally in Aus and have been okay by me. A bunch of xmas present stuff show up yesterday, haven’t really checked it out yet but by far the most impressive at a glance is the metal Pokémon card. I am so keeping my #1 uncle title this xmas

bagual posted:nine hundred ninety-nine million lumens, for less than ten dollars? wow what a great deal, thank you smiling shark It’s not that powerful, but still absurd The Sun can put down a maximum of about one hundred thousand lumens per square metre on the ground. So a device of this power would light one hectare (two and a half acres) as bright as noon in the Atacama Desert, and in doing so it would consume enough electricity to run several thousand homes.

Are there any rechargeable flashlights on there that are worth a gently caress? I got this thing on clearance at the hardware store but its an emergency flashlight and seems to be built specifically to cause seizures in those vulnerable to them.

I feel like every flashlight or headlamp uses the exact same chip with the 3 brightness modes, strobe, and the SOS, so I always wonder just how different any of them are.

Unperson_47 posted:I feel like every flashlight or headlamp uses the exact same chip with the 3 brightness modes, strobe, and the SOS, so I always wonder just how different any of them are. Another thing I've been looking to get is a 30W powerbank that can also charge my laptop if needed. It kind of works with the 10Ah USB-PD and my work laptop but not my personal one, and only to keep it from discharging. I think it needs at least 12V/2A and it was actually quite difficult to find since most smaller power banks are 18W, and then you have huge 60W beasts that are heavy and expensive. Romoss seems to have some good options here:  10Ah: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000259429246.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7edb38davZGkUv&mp=1 20Ah, only like $5 more so a no-brainer is doubling the weight isn't a problem https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004222265233.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7edb38davZGkUv&mp=1 30Ah, but only does 12V @ 1.5A https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003907096504.html

I was browsing around and buying stuff off my wish list for the 11.11 sale when I ran into this, which is inexplicably not played up or indeed mentioned in its listing at all, and which I love to absolute pieces ( ) but cannot use or justify or think of anyone to gift it to. I hope someone here can. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804052834218.html I also found this, which would make a neat stocking-stuffer:  https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804588034817.html I ordered two for my kiddo, who's going on a school trip to Europe next summer. When I asked how many characters would fit per line on the reverse, the seller said they'd put whatever I wanted on there; maybe that meant they'd just make the font smaller, maybe it was a canned non-answer. We'll see!

I think I'm done with the car charger adventures, going to yolo with this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004701250942.html There's an identical looking Baseus one, but from the reviews it seems that all the 45W chargers can't actually boost the voltage to 15/20v if you're on a 12v system. So I'm guessing the best I'd be able to get is 36W which is fine. Pretty funny that you can spend two days searching for a $5 charger.

I got this thing on clearance at the hardware store but its an emergency flashlight and seems to be built specifically to cause seizures in those vulnerable to them. There's a bunch of decent rechargeable flashlights sold on AE, they're just not typically the dirt-cheap "1billion lumen" models. Wurkkos (FC11) and Sofirn (SP36 Pro) are two brands I've purchased before and they're fantastic. Realistic lumen ratings, reasonable user-interface (IE, button does what you want, seizure mode is available but easy to never use), and well built. You can generally buy them from their own websites or Amazon for similar prices though.

It's not something I need for the laptop all the time, just on long flights or on vacations sometimes. Plus I can give the one I have to my parents who've been asking for a recommendation. It was a bit of an ordeal with this one actually, I had it in the basket and thought I'll make the order after work. Well after work it sold out apparently, and instead of free shipping from Belgium there's $5 shipping from Spain, and only 3 pieces left. Still went for it as it seemed to be the best option regardless, and got a $5 coupon applied, so not too bad. Another thing that happened is that my cart was way too expensive, like twice as much as it should be, just based on the crap I had in it. I unselected all items and then only ordered the powerbank and a few other things I needed most. Turns out there's some sort of fuckery going on with this charger: https://i.imgur.com/9W9gIwV.mp4 mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Nov 1, 2022 |

What I’ve been doing with stuff like that is buying the Ali product, and also buying the MOC instructions so the actual designer gets paid. Mind you the last couple I bought, the designer just had the instructions on YT for free.
