I mean they’re made in China, but surely Apple wouldn’t let them sell iPhones: Original Brand For I15 Pro Max Smartphone 6.7 Inch Full Screen Face ID 16GB+1TB Mobile Phones Global Version 4G 5G Cell Phone https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOuJevg Just a similar knock-off?

I mean, the description says it's Android 12, and has a "Dimensity 9000" processor which will "Broden your vison". Edit: It also has 108 million HD rear cameras. I like that the "default" option is just headphones for $30 too, you need to switch to an actual phone to see the real, $60 price. Mediatek make that Dimensity 9000 sound pretty good on their product page but I know from experience they make terrible processors.

Good to know, my 2 AM brain was suitably confused and not about to read the fine print (no, I wasn’t actually going to order one)

There are also ones where they take iphone x guts and transplant them into a case that looks like the current model

Their low and mid end are as good as Qualcomm and cheaper. High end is cheaper and maybe 1 year behind at most. They are outselling Qualcomm in volume in last 2? years. You can actually buy phone models variants that are the same in everything but only different in Qualcomm/Mediatek flagship soc. Price difference is about $100. Both Qualcomm and Mediatek (and UNISOC) just license ARM designs and put other 4G 5G components together and pay TSMC to fab the soc anyway. Qualcomm doesn't have some technology stranglehold. This phone definitely doesn't have a real Dimensity 9000 because you just search dimensity 9000 and you can see all of the other phone model cost in the 400 ballpark. stephenthinkpad fucked around with this message at 11:20 on Sep 17, 2023 |

I was looking for a "third hand" for soldering and such tasks. I used to have a basic one like this: , but looking at the listings, I found this model:  , with an LED light, a tip cleaning jar, more "hands", and a magnifying glass, so that's what I ordered. I just received it, and have already planned some tinkering projects where it'll come in useful.

Dick Fontaine posted:what the hell? is that a gorillapod for soldering? please update on how useful it actually is because that thing looks almost too good to be true The "arms" are very much the same principle as in a gorillapod, yes. I will let you know how it performs, although my first projects are not soldering, but using the multiple arms along with suction cups I also got in the same combined shipment to hold various small items up for photography purposes. ekuNNN posted:dang that looks awesome, is the base nice and heavy? Yes, it is milled aluminum. As you can see from the listing, the device is also available with clamp and magnet bases.

Those older style ones with the screws and steel rods never worked as well for me. I only use this and a pcb holder for all my soldering now. PCB holder/vice is better for microsoldering under a scope, the arms for normal soldering.

Dick Fontaine posted:what the hell? is that a gorillapod for soldering? please update on how useful it actually is because that thing looks almost too good to be true We have set ups like that here and they're pretty good. The one I use the most is a big metal plate and the arms like in the picture are mounted magnetically so you can move them where you need to.

mobby_6kl posted:Got my N100 box today! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005234874016.html Could you use a sound meter app to let me know what that "ambient noise" level is? Also, what are the thermal readings under load, around that 47° C mark? I'm interested in getting a box like this to replace my Raspberry Pi 3 based emulation box, but I'm sensitive to fan noise, so I'm a bit worried. Alternatively, if you know of a fanless/passive cooled N100 box, please link! I tried searching, but all I could find were boxes meant for router builds.

For anything up to the PS1, it's very good! Check out https://retropie.org.uk, that's what I use. I mainly want to upgrade because with a beefy PC, I'd get new machines available, like the DreamCast and the PS2.

Flipperwaldt posted:On an iphone such an app can be more or less tuned by the developer against known hardware. On android results can deviate as much as 18dB between devices easily and as such the results will be useless. You can only calibrate those apps against a known good meter. So long as it is consistent could you use it as a comparison? "This thing reads 50, and normal speech at 1m distance reads as 65" would at least give you an idea.

You can check this guy's review, that's how I found the box and he does have sound level measurements with comparisons. It's not the quietest of them but as I mentioned it's not obtrusive even under load if it's not immediately https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrQB1ElwoXA I'm not super into emulation but I got a few games running since it's the HTPC, and Wii and Switch seems to run fine. At least in the handheld mode, docked is getting close but not full speed. There's a fanless N100/N200 that isn't a router: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005853241227.html The N200 should be better for emulation with but with limited thermal it's probably a wash. Maybe it could be modded with a bigger heatsink or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-BMqHGyv2o Gromit posted:So long as it is consistent could you use it as a comparison?

I'd figure that it's not second hand, but is a factory error that they're trying to sell off instead of toss out.

mobby_6kl posted:Sure if you can somehow calibrate it like that, but it will be making the measurements and HELLOMYNAMEIS___ trying to interpret them Somehow? Stand 1m away from it and speak. Then all someone needs to do is think about how loud normal speech is and will know it's less loud than that. My point is that so long as it is a consistent reading, you just need to compare it to something the reader would know.

Good old fashioned "just eyeball it" advice I'd be amazed if you get a margin of error of less than 10db if you just tell random people to speak at a normal volume

Depending on what systems you emulate, you might want to just get an emulation handheld with HDMI out and bluetooth. See here for a a quick example of the RGB30, which coincidentally is on sale at the moment.
