If you’re that worried about it you could most certainly just remove the housing and put a totally not fake amazon usb stick in it.

Speaking of, I found my old iphone 3gs in a drawer and the screen had popped out again from the battery pillowing. The logic board was bent like a banana but one aliexpress Powerful Business Battery later it's running again. Sort of. Turns out it won't charge, so now I'm ordering a new charge port   I miss old IOS, it used to be real pretty

The Wonder Weapon posted:I'm aware of the void I'm yelling into here, but if there's one thing I wouldn't buy counterfeits of, it's trading cards (pokemon, magic, etc.) Goofy, clearly fake ones are fine, but the ones designed to be identical to the authentic ones are where I draw the line The guy I order em from in China has an ali express page that seems to sell the same legit hq stock. Best to email them for a list of singles than guess what in the handful of preselected packs anyway. Completely asinine paying full price for worse quality cards just because they're official.

Also the guy who hacked the iPhone, George Hotz (or Hots or something), he went on to found a 3rd party auto driving solution company. I plan to buy my next car model that's compatible with this 3rd party hacking solution.

Has anyone seen the McDonald's take out bag purse? Here on ali. There is also Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks and Wendy's similarity. It's like a small backpack/large purse. I've found listings on Etsy. Or does anyone know the original source? Etsy is full of comments about scams. From Etsy :

If you use image search there are a lot of listings for it, this is just the one with the most orders On the mobile app it’s the camera icon when you click into the search bar, you just need to shrink the rectangle to the bag otherwise you’ll get a bunch of listings for brown tshirts.
