Yes, we know everything already is from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on Gearbest, AliExpress, eBay and similar sites.
>News • user does a show review of the ROCK flat usb cables • EUanons get shafted in the technology department with overpriced SSDs • user can't stop buying chink shit • AliExpress app seems to want access to user's camera • user recommends this variable dc bench top power supply • user bought a Kermit the Frog Tsum Tsum • More Russian Gearbest coupons are found for Xiaomi Powerbanks, one makes the Xiaomi Pocket Powerbank $13.92 which is the cheapest it's been in a while Previous thread
There's a lot of discussion of recently-ordered and just-received Chinese products in these threads, which is great. However, there's relatively little discussion of the long-term durability and utility of many of the items in question, with a lot of the "reviews" being little more than unboxing exercises.
What I propose, then, is that simultaneous with the next new /csg/ thread, someone create a thread where people can post about how their gear has held up over a longer period of time, whether they have found a meaningful use for it, and to what extent (if any) they have managed to integrate it into their daily lives. We could call it "csg long term", or /csglt/.
What do you think, Anonymous?

So I finally decided to commit to the SHARK meme and buy me a maximum capacity SD card
I searched "Mixza Tohaoll" on aliexpress and found 2 different cards, one of which has memeshark on it, while the other one does not. The one that does not however claims to also be "water resistant, heat/cold resistant, x-ray resistant and antimagnetic" while shark one only claims "water/antishock + heat/cold resistance".
>aliexpress.com/item/MIXZA-TOHAOLL/32699438965.html - "resistant" one
Is there any real difference between them, and does the other one really offers some kind of additional protection, or is it just chikn advertisers having a blast?
Andrew Moore
reminder that the russian coupons are referral links so the guy who posted them is getting free shit when you buy
Joshua Reed
Just use this thread, no one will tell you to create a new one. The other day I had a discussion about something I bought like a year ago and no one was flipping his shit because of it.
Henry Johnson
I'm disappointed that you didn't take my suggestion.
Just once, it would be fantastic to have a thread devoted to our long-term experiences with the Chinese goods we have ordered, but as things stand any posts of that nature get drowned under a sea of photos of unopened packages.
Could you delete this thread and make one oriented towards how our purchases have held up over time? Thanks.
Justin Reyes
Don't take the bait.
Lithu stale meme tactics: >Chinese Shopping General, not ch*nk sh*t general you racist shitlords >referral link cancer fuck youtubers they don't belong on Sup Forums reee >Discord is a carcinogenic vote in my strawpoll to "remove it" here's some screenshots from the discord because I use it daily even though I hate it >Mp3 players are useless and anybody who likes them is a worthless autist >/csg/ belongs on /biz/, not Sup Forums >we need some kind of second thread for long term purchase reviews, a /csg/ after party if you will
If you see any of those, ignore it.

these are all perfectly valid points t b h

Dominic Rodriguez

Asher Turner
perhaps instead of creating a new thread we keep our small community together and unified in one thread
a good middle ground could be, to start including long term experiences in a separate section of the "News"
you can then be able to write a simple script or bot to curate all the news together in an archive and i am sure everyone would appreciate that effort
Don't you have better things to do than shit up this general every single day? Of course not.

he shouts "referral links" at every youtube review even though OneBoxing and Dirty are the only ones who use them. That's not valid, that's just retarded smearing tactics.
Dylan Myers
anyone have experience with buying RAM from aliexpress? i need a 4gb stick and this looks pretty good for the money (cheap but not too-good-to-be-true cheap): aliexpress.com/item//32534253121.html
it's hynix, although i'm slightly worried that it could be fake. i guess if it passes memtest86 it would be fine.
William Nguyen
So it's a win-win what's the problem here
Carter Phillips
The post he's replying to is copy-pasted from the old thread as well, so who is the real autist here?
It's the one defending referral links, Youtube, and Discord. It's you.

>smearing tactics
I think you take this subreddit a bit too seriously, user. You should think about taking a break and going outside for a while.
Aiden Clark
So that basically confirms that they're not referrals and that is wrong.
Tyler Russell
I'm only linking it to alert newfags to your shit copy and paste tactics since you already have people trying to debate you seriously on your /csg/ after party trolling. Fuck off back to the Lithuneetbux centre.
Jose Bennett
There's no such thing as a referral coupon code. That user is talking out of his ass.
there is such thing as referral coupons... it must be something new, because I've been seen this kind of coupons all over the Xiaomi facebook groups I'm in for 2 days now, starting with the Mi5 ones... There's also an italian famous xiaomi reseller who is asking people to join their affiliate program with gearbest and everywhere it's full of 15yo posting the same post with the same links and codes
Camden Morgan
So /csg/, I'm trying to put together an outfit that screams "Yuppie!".
Any decent quality chink watches to achieve this?
Mason Sanders
It's a good idea and nobody has presented a convincing argument to the contrary - accusing anyone who advocates it as being from a minor Eastern European country certainly isn't a very good counterpoint.
James Watson
I'm in the Gearbest affiliate scheme and there is definitely no way to create coupon codes. Only links and images with links embedded in them via html.
Charles Perry
Xiaomi now sells their battery bank shells so you can use your own cells.
Doesn't this have potential to be abused by people slapping other cells in there and selling them as the full Xiaomi powerbanks?
Lucas Howard
>still buttmad about his failed thread a month ago Pathetic dipshit. K Y S .
Jacob Roberts
You only want to do it so multiple /csg/ threads are around at all times on Sup Forums and eventually this general gets banned by the mods like /fucko/ was. Just fuck off, no one thinks your idea is a good idea but you, Lithuanian autist or not.
Mason Nguyen
Do you hate yourself? Please get one of the memes.
You will not be disappointed.
>KZ ED-9 here
Nathan Powell
again, this must be something new, only for resellers and possibly through shareasale, not the GB internal program (which I'm part of too)
Jack Bell
There'd be no end to defective shark stories. We rather stick our heads in the sand and buy new stuff.
Juan Sanchez
It's lacking in Xiaomi branding on the shell so that's why they won't fully pass as such.
Cooper Powell
You are not a moderator and cannot predict how they will act. In any event, I do not think the moderators will be overly concerned if two out of the 150 active threads at any one time are devoted to a popular topic that has attracted many new readers and contributors to this website and its unique culture.
Carter Robinson
this is a decent suggestion
Robert Davis

Cooper Edwards
And yet still people continue to buy the Ocean Series cards in large quantities, despite there being little long-term data on their reliability and what little data there is being largely negative.
/csglt/ would help this situation by establishing a valid corpus of information and data on reliability.
Brody Lee
they aren't. stop spreading bullshit.

Any one have recommendations for a decent quality /csg/ mouse?
Logitech and the like are becoming too expensive for what they are.
Eli Robinson
why did the mods delete the anti-chilean posts in the previous thread?
Isaac Stewart
/csg/, recommend me an android set top box that doesn't suck.
Eli Cox
which one is more reliable, geekbuying or fastcardtech?
Brody Morris
Because unfounded racism has no place in the Chinese Shopping General.

Want a Xiaomi 10,000mah powerbank for $10? Follow these instructions:
1. Go to Everbuying.com and register an account. New users get 100 points for registering, 10 for confirming your email and 10 for uploading a profile picture 2. Go to this link user.everbuying.net/m-users-a-win_point.htm and use the code THXYOU for 100 more points 3. Link for the powerbank m.everbuying.net/product918548.html (use mobile site for extra 2% discount) 4. Price after using 220 points (=$4.40) and 2% mobile site discount should be $10.62
I used the powerbank as an example but you can use the points for anything you want.
Eli Price
That was actually my first post in this thread. If you had really been paying attention to the unique poster count you would know that.
Nolan Roberts
>racism where was the racism? as I said, I myself am chilean. also, how is a nation a race?
Samuel Mitchell
For that to be true all the responses to your alleged Lithuanian would need to be from different people, when it's clear that it's just you each time.
The fact is that you're in the minority here. There's every reason to have a second thread devoted to long-term discussion, and zero reason for you to continue supplying no relevant content and merely accusing everyone with whom you disagree of being Lithuanian.
There are many other forums which would welcome your style of vapid, mindless teenage angst. This is not one of them. Leave.
Charles Parker
Unfortunately I've heard only shit about MX* series, they say it barely runs anything and the controls are terrible (thus needing the mouse button or the remote keyb). Probably I won't get stuff better than this but do you know about other boxes?
John Parker
Western post-ww2 guilt ridden educations say so
Justin Long
Now this is shitposting.
Nathan Adams
Seems like the mod needs to do some cleaning here starting from the first "we need two threads" post.
You've already tried this stupid idea and it didn't work, you then spent weeks trying to push it again and again in /csg/ to anons telling you politely or impolitely to stop it and move on. Now you still maintain that it's a good idea and I'M the problem. Fuck off. Go away, Lithuanian or not, you're a complete and total retard.

I would buy a $10 logitech but those literally break every 2 months they are fucking garbage.
Justin Parker
Either you use a tiny font tinier than the cock of that one autist who keeps trying to shut down /csglt/ or your monitor is wider than his asshole.
Matthew Reyes
No one is trying to shut down your stupid idea, no one wants it in the first place. No one can stop you making a second thread, go ahead, try it again. See how much it tanks and ends up with you samefagging and desperate bumping as usual.
Matthew Torres
James Donkeys are like the least gaymur gamer mice out there, man.

>gaming transformer mouse >no transformer style >the limited and tasteful LEDs can even be turned off if you wish
Nice try, dickhead.
Adrian Cruz
How does it compare against Logitech mice, like the G500? Mine is starting to shit the bed and I may want to replace it.
Mason Martinez
Sensor-wise, the JD that I own is identical to the $10-$15 Best Buy mice that I used to own in the past. Perfect for everyday use. I'm not a hardcore gaymur but I do play games and it works just fine. Build quality-wise it's like a $30-$40 mouse. I'm really impressed with how well it's put together.
I got it for $7.42 and it was so, so, so worth it, at least for the 5 or so weeks that I've had it. I'll see how it's holding up after 6 months, a year, etc. and keep /csg/ informed.
>he doesnt get his dog an onahole for the dry season
Ryder Long
It has an adjustable DPI button with 3 settings right behind the scroll wheel.
Nathan Gonzalez
Nothing, Logitech is purposely making shit low end mice now. My old MX518 lasted me over a decade, best mouse I've ever used.
Now I just buy B100s as replacements but they break. The way the left and right click buttons are designed they have this cheap plastic injection moulding bit that wears down and then the button no longer works.
The sensors and everything are fine, as are the actual electronic switches (so everything that Logitech doesn't actually make) but the plastic shell is cheap garbage.

Vat19 is the expert in marking up chinkshit to sell to idiots.

Here's a little sneak peek of the Powerbank section, pictures as well as pros and cons all sourced from user reviews and contributions for the infographic all highly appreciated.
*asterisk cons to feature explanation at bottom of infographic
Prices sourced from several sites, current prices as of 4-9-2016 (9/4/2016 for Americlaps) which may or may not change depending on chink stores.
I've submitted a Chink Shit Gen banner for Sup Forums which is approved for and in the current voting phase as well, will post in next post.
Caleb Russell
Shit man, I should buy a hundred or so of those and sell them at the flea market for $5 or $10 apiece.
