Everything is already from China, but here we discuss the cheap chink shit you see on various sites. 1st rule of /csg/: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

anyone got chinked recently? i am trying to find a differrent pillow for my neck pain while sleeping and decided to get this sobakawa buckwheat pillow, looked it up on amazon reviews said some came with insects, so i said fuck it aliexpress cant be worst and there were many positive reviews from korean flags, it came filled with these little microscopic insects kek, i got a partial refund, i kept the filling on a bag and checked today, these little bastards reproduced and are little bit bigger, at least the cover is nice lmao.
>have AZ09s for a couple of years, work really well until they start randomly dropping and stalling >replace them with AN01s >worse out of the box Do any of these not suck
>>109046649 i did read that but i am not putting a fucking nest of whatever this is on my fridge, i am throwing it today on a nearby park where some hippies have a community garden >>109047011 >>109047036 its probably just whatever insect feeds of the wheat leftovers inside the husks
>>109047409 >>109047494 >psosid? Yes, it's a Psocidae or Liposcelididae more commonly known as booklice. It's a very common insect. Make sure you treat it and make sure you ventilate your room and keep the humidity low.
>>109047538 YVW. And the're completely harmless btw.
No need to throw away the pillow. You can take the buckwheat husks out of the pillow, put them in a transparent bag, seal it, and put it out in the sun. After an hour you can just sift it with a sieve and get rid of their remains. Should be as good as new.

>>109047530 Not that anon, but back in the 80s? 90s? there used to be a shitload of infomercials about buckwheat pillows. It's been a thing for a long time.
My perception of it was, it was kind of holistic medicine, "redirect your healing energies" sort of bullshit.
Different thing, but for whatever reason this made me think of those wooden bead car seat covers that used to be popular.
>>109047600 Sounds like some russian retardation, you can just use those smooth glass beads for pillow filling if you want BUG free one with similar feel.
>>109047530 theres probably multiple amazon warehouses filled with this shit, just read the reviews

>>109047629 >Sounds like some russian retardation Maybe they had a similar 'craze', but I wouldn't know, because I'm from the US.
Most people here use polyfill pillows, though I prefer down myself. Have to replace them every few years, but that's kind of how it is with all pillows.

>>109047760 The button arrangement is different, but it looks very much like a Pinecil soldering iron.
I have one of their v2's, and I quite like it. I assume the one in your pic is usb-c? My laptop charger rips with the one I have. It has a builtin accelerometer, to sense when you lay it down. Dials down the temp to a holding temp. But by the time I pick it back up and have it positioned, it's back to the set temp.

>>109047760 >pinecil like construction >looks like it would take hakko style cartridges >maybe ironos even? interesting, JBC style is the meta (if you do handheld to laptop scale) but honestly that is not bad for bigger jobs
>>109047812 >but it looks very much like a Pinecil soldering iron. Yep. And I think it can take the same style cartridge. See the pic for features. >>109047824 >>looks like it would take hakko style cartridges What's intriguing is that it can take 3 diff style cartridges! Apparently it heats up really fast (provided you have a good charger or a battery) and can definitely solder XT30/XT60 connectors. (Many irons of this size (and those that use C210) can't do that).

>>109047933 the only negative seems to be the RGB lights but those can be turned off.

>>109047992 I wish all the RGB shit would just go away but every year there's more and more of it. I feel like a fucking boomer at this point. Luckily it can be turned off and I bet you can disable it in firmware too.
got my hiking chair yesterday 559 grams without case / 605g with a case not bad at all for €37.41 I paid for it original Helinox Chair Zero LT it's copied from goes for €150 and weighs 494g/534g now just need some motivation to actually go out hiking...
I got the TS100, it can only be powered by the dc5525 jack and I'm yet to find a 60w power supply that has flexible enough cable that won't get in the way. I was looking into getting the TS101, but I might get this Christmas tree toy pen.

>>109048626 get an old 65w laptop charger and solder the appropriate barrel plug at its end instead they're usually quite flexible

It's kinda annoying that amazon will sell chinese crap to you without warning.
if you wanted chinese garbage, can't you get the same crap cheaper from aliexpress or temu?

>>109048944 almost everything is fully or partially made in China, boomer
>>109046105(OP) Nice. >>109048944 That's why you always crosscheck with Ali or Temu. Most things on scamazon are rebranded/marketed for the average western goy to consume who wouldn't think twice about it.

I would like to do some light motovlogging, i have a gopro and a shitty digital camera from 2009 that takes okay pics but looks like VHS quality when i do video, i think it could look cool as an aesthethic tho
Any good stands i can get off aliexpress? Ones that are at least 1,5m or 2m tall. I currently only have a tiny desk stand for my digital camera which is like a tripod 10cm tall
>>109046487 >western reviews said it came with insects >so I bought the exact same thing from a place where I can barely understand the machine translated somehow even LESS moderated reviews instead
Impressively retarded. I can't come up with any way to clean out the bugs that would make me comfortable with using the pillow, since it would still be full of dead bugs anyway.
>>109050661 1. transparent case is cool 2. LEDs can be turned white which can act as light 3. they can be turned off

lately Ali has been recommending the dumbest shit. right now it's giving me a bunch of stress toys like are in the shape of black toddlers. all i buy on here are games and random computer parts / accessories
I cant remember if I posted my new knife or not, but here it is. I didnt realise it was a fake from SOG I thought it was just some random OEM knife. Anyway, the flick action is nice but I wish I had something that was easier to flick with just my finger and not requiring wrist action too.

Opinions on these split keyboards? I always saw kits going for $100+ and required you to build the thing but this are ready to go for around 60 bucks. https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009920162375.html https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007882799181.html
anyone have a recommendation or know of a good deal on a silicone mat?

>>109046487 kek Pillows won't fix you neck pain btw. You dont need a pillow at all, just take a small towel, fold it lengthwise 3-4 times so its about 2-3cm high and use that as a headrest. Been doing that for years.
