That’s an awesome link, thanks. Might save me a bit of trial and error. I don’t often miss websites autoplaying music but I’d excuse that one.

Ordered a bunch of stuff on Ali and had other stuff in my cart saved for later. The stuff I ordered was free shipping but now everything else is like 2-3$ each to ship. Guess I broke the system

I got a tiny 7-11 and some mini streetlights, hooked it to a powerbank and turned a shelf into a lamp for my son. It says it is 1/64, but it is really like 1/32, so not hot wheels sized but those pull back cars they sell in grocery stores sized.   https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805960643850.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.36.a0ac1802SyFEUR&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg...r_page_sn=10045 I was so happy with it I ordered a Mcdoanlds, should be here by... well, who knows.

^^^ both your photos and the ali photos don't give any sense of scale. I have no idea how big it is. Is there any way to wire light to turn it on between 6pm to 9pm everyday? I know you can use battery power jar lights but I am lazy.

Wolf of Wall Street Margot Robbie  for the below, probably Lara Croft stuck in a pipe  Velma & Scooby  Had my little reader for a couple of days now, seller switched it to english so all the important stuff is english, like the device menus are English, but the default apps are Chinese. I was able to install fdroid, Aurora, Amazon app stores and then added kindle and koreader for reading, and einkbro for a browser. I do intend to connect to it using ADB appcontrol to remove the Chinese apps but I haven’t got to that yet. The whole thing is a little work setting up, also my first android device so maybe my learning curb is steeper than others but I didn’t expect it to iPhone easy. Reading is good, light and temp adjustable, battery seems okay - when the screen is locked the battery will only move a percent or two, when reading it’s a bit faster but I haven’t really paid attention to the numbers. It is much lighter than my phone too - 115g according to the seller - so it feels like nothing. I also modified the case to add a strap, I have one on my phone and I love it so much. I don’t have to always be holding, it can just hang on my fingers and it’s probably saved me from a few drops.

I like that it has a hand strap for better ergonomic. Is the soc inside fast enough to run tts software? My Teclast tablet has a unisoc T616 inside, I would consider it minimal speed to run tts app.

LIterallyABikeshop posted:no bike rack? wtf? I've had mixed results: Tools: usually great (bearing press sets, stubby ratcheting wrench for my fixie saddle bag, etc) Clothes : bibs (shithouse), jerseys (cheap but passable), gloves (crappy) Carbon wheels loving amazing. My tip is to avoid obvious counterfeit dealers, make sure it's just unbranded stuff. I even think the novatec hubs are amazing value, my $300 wheel set on my road bike has been going for years and has lasted far far longer than the Shimano aluminium set that came on the bike. The fixie 88mm rear wheel has been a commuting workhorse, although I killed the bearings with degreaser and had to press new ones in. Stems: Don't bother, got aluminium dressed up as carbon Handlebars: my daily fixie had AliExpress carbon aero basebar on it - absolutely great but it was an obvious factory second since the centerline printing & grippy section was off centre by about 5mm. Can't fault it for the price, but it survived heaps of abuse over ~6years and even a major crash.

If you file a return you don't get the shipping back, huh? I bought a product that was a $1 but had $2.50 shipping. They sent the wrong one, but they'll only refund $1.

Probably perfectly fine but I didn't use it in the end. I have a chinese carbon wheelset too which I didn't buy from ali but I think they sell through them too (or did when I bought them 6-7 years ago). I think the company was called farsports and the wheels are good quality, I've put a lot of miles on them every summer since I got them and they're still going strong.

I read a report on a boat fair, and the writer recommended getting retainers for glasses. I've had a rope swipe my glasses from my face once, already while sailing (luckily, they stayed inside the boat), so I finally did - just from AliExpress, not the £15/set ones that had been advertised at the fair. They just arrived, and seem perfectly adequate for the job. I got the "Adult 35mm" size, although I'm not sure what measurement the "35 mm" is referring to. They fit my glasses, which is the main thing.

I guess my only real hesitation is the braking surface. I would probably be much more inclined to run carbon rims with disc brake hubs. I hear lots of great things about the reputable brands selling carbon rims on ali express surprisingly.

From memory farsports is an actual contract manufacturer of carbon bike stuff and their wheels are pretty good Can't find the road wheel one I bought from (perhaps it was and eBay seller?) but the fixie wheel was from this seller but with a track hub https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqLNxW6 LIterallyABikeshop posted:I guess my only real hesitation is the braking surface.

Its definitely where they skimp, but honestly I've put tens of thousands of km on my road set with the soft pencil eraser brake pads and they are just starting to show visible wear after 5ish years. Then again I don't do a lot of hill climbing and the braking performance sucks super hard.

The thing to remember is that most of the big manufacturers have a big or sole presence in taiwan, so manufactured parts are all made locally. I've never tried but you might even get real OEM parts buying Shimano mechanical parts from AliExpress because of that. Most of the expensive bike clothing I have is made in Europe so unbranded and knockoff stuff isn't the same from china. Even the materials they use suck

Did whoever that was ordering auto sound dampening stuff ever come back around? I cannot remember who it was. I am slapping my little roll in a car I’m fixing up, it’s not nearly enough, but I am curious how the quality compares to the expensive stuff here.

That wifi ntp clock mechanism turned out to be pretty nice! I'm going to order a couple more. (link) The original plan was to buy a cheap clock housing to put it in but I decided to print my own instead from https://www.printables.com/model/223365-vintage-roman-wall-clock   I want to replace the hands but it's tricky to get the tolerances just right for the friction fit. [edit] Found another seller that offers more hand styles here There was also a review saying that it gets NTP from cn.ntp.org.cn so I can override that DNS entry in my router to point to a local NTP server instead. I suspect it doesn't support automatic daylight savings time adjustment since China stopped using DST and has the same time all year. r u ready to WALK fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Mar 10, 2024 |

Has anyone done this “certified shopper” thing with AE? I’d like to think I’m special stupid but I wondered if it actually gives anything and what the process involves. I’m about to buy a bunch more junk, so extra discounts wouldn’t go amiss. Also gonna try some Hokas from DHgate, some people are saying they’re the exact same as the real thing so…
