Charles Ford posted:During the chip shortage (which is still somewhat going on) I heard that scam was happening on basically all of the "non authorised vendors" in China who'd say they had huge stocks of the chip but required you to "request a quote". not the same thing but i've heard of a similar problem from people who want to buy retro chips (a lot of old yamaha opl3 chips or something, for example), where all the chip sellers will say they've all got 2000 or so and that's great so the retro chip people build projects going "okay there's tons of these out there it's easy to buy them to repurpose." then they go to buy them. and suddenly no one has ANY. because it turns out only ONE person had any in the first place, and everyone else was just reporting they could buy the two thousand off the one guy who had them, creating an illusion of way, way more supply than there actually was in the market.

Kerbtree posted:You forgot the toaster. I had reason to go look at the toaster again the other day. I think, and frankly this is crazy, it doesn't actually have a wifi connection. It's still like $500 dollars and has presets for loving gluten-free protein waffles, but it may actually not be network connected.

goatface posted:Those are reasonable looking. The price per die isn't bad if you want a whole pile of them. I dunno. AliExpress seems very likely to sell dice that are weighted due to production errors. If it's not casino true (and not that chessex CRAP) i'm not buying it.

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:Is that not a common thing where you’re from? They were all the rage growing up here in the US, less common now, maybe, but still easy to get. There's a lot more kitchen gadgets than any one person can have in a normal-ish sized kitchen. Like there are tons of specialty devices that do one kitchen prep task, and they do it well. But they take up space and need to be cleaned, so often the tradeoff is finding the specific things that one person needs for the stuff they make frequently. Not everyone needs apple corers, so people often don't have them.

mystes posted:I think it is actually an issue with heating towels but I don't know if it's worth worrying about too much for home use A local award winning all you can eat Chinese buffet chain gives you warm towels to clean your hands with at the end of every meal, but they're all wrapped in plastic to prevent contamination. It's really pretty wasteful.

Killingyouguy! posted:Is a scrub daddy not just a sponge? I've mostly avoided them due to the name turning my stomach what i'd really love if aliexpress had a replacement for is a pot scraper. i dunno how to get another one of these, the one i got was a hand-me-down from like my grandma's kitchen stuff when she died. but it's a piece of plastic, roughly the side of a credit card, with slightly curved sides coming to an edge. it's just the best at scraping off absolutely blackened/caked on poo poo when you've hosed up or done something absolutely hardcore, and i keep looking at various kitchen/cleaning supply places and no one seems to make that kind of poo poo any more. e: you know i guess i forgot to ever put it in google because there you go https://www.amazon.ca/Pan-Scrapers-Durable-Skillets-Cookware/dp/B074ZTMGVF?th=1

The OPL3 module is behind a trap door, so if AdLib with Sound Blaster emulation isn’t good enough for you it’s likely someone will make a Sound Blaster clone on a RPi or whatever at some point.
