If you don't ever do any electronics work whatsoever then BUCK converters are of course not for you, but for example, I run my 3D printer on 24V and use a buck converter to power the electronics that need 12V, then I /diy/'d some outdoor LED lighting and it controls voltage and current through one of them. If you buy some 12V LED chip and want to run it without a heatsink, attaching a current limiter buck could be a way of bringing the output down. Also, if you want to run some 5V logic or 3.7V LEDs off two AA batteries for some portable device you'd want a step-up type; or for generating some odd voltages, ie if you have a 12V supply and something wants 30V.
I bought silver ones of the pencils.

Are there any PS/2 mechanical chink keyboards out there?

why not just use adapter?
Samuel Johnson
Don't you basically loose the advantages of PS/2?
Jason Walker
Say I wanted to power some 5V, 12V and 20V stuff in a car where the supply ranges from 12V to 15V. Can BUCK converters handle the variable input and output (relatively) stable voltage? I understand it may be different for step up (20V) and step down (5V). I imagine you'd need a different component for the 12V supply since the step-down would be tiny and the source might drop below 12V at times.

dangit, the other thread hit the limit...reposting here:
>Uno - $3 >Mega - $6.40 are those prices with shipping included? because the cheapest I could find were these for UNO with DIP chip, UNO smd, and Mega
Andrew Watson
they probably raised prices over the holiday so they will have less shit piled up when they go back to work
Leo Jones
Wire a 20V converter to the car battery circuit and then hang the 12V and 5V ones off that.
The MEGA you have there was $6.40 when I bought it from the same seller
Elijah Gonzalez
So, in regards to the chinese new year.
Should I wait to see if any chink phones prices will go down in prices? Considering that holiday season sees a price hike, and that tends to normalize in the west on january, which is always a slower time of the year for retail.
Does the same apply to china?

VR Box 2.0 - $11 worth of tacky plastic and regret.
Enclosure looks pretty good and well made for the price which is one of the main reasons I bought it. The sponge that touches your face is nice and well shaped which makes the whole experience not-that-much uncomfortable. Strap is broad so the whole thing nicely holds onto your head but it also rubbed my ears - probably only because I'm not used to wearing glasses.
The frame's rail which holds the phone is uneven (third pic) and it's obviously a manufacturing defect. My phone has the power button where the downward slope is and it took me some time to insert it without accidently turning it off. Fortunately, it aligns itself with the bottom of the frame so the screen isn't rotated.
You can adjust the lenses with two sliders on top but they're moving too easily. Also, the left lens is changing its lineup from towards the eye so I have to fix it with my hand before putting the set on.
I can't speak much about the experience but about a year ago I had my friend's Google cardboard on my face for like 2 minutes and I think it worked better. I watched a porn clip with this thing and despite things looking fairly good it only made me want to have a professional VR set like Oculus.
I think I'm going to open a dispute. How much should I ask for? The glasses are usable but the defects are obvious.
Luis Young
What video player app did you use?

See Seems like some stores are raising prices on January instead. I have noticed many sales/discounts that expired the past few days, so I guess you should wait until next month or so. I'm no expert in chink though.

we are almost finished with January and i still dont have my stuff i order in November

VaR's VR Player. It's free and you can control the playback without pulling your phone out. Supports 180/360 degree videos.
Samuel Wood
Most VR player apps are bad: cancerous ui and riddled with ads and data collection. I've tested many of them and currently I'm going back and forward between these two: - VR Player PRO - best interface and configurability. - VRTV VR Video Player - best image and "feel" for my Xiaomi VR glasses.

I'm looking to buy a projector as cheaply as possible. I have no miniumum resolution requirement but I would like it to be able to make a smaller image from further away. What can I buy and where should I buy it from?
Evan Martin
Yeah I've noticed, the options seem to be paid or ads and both data mine I'm gonna try DNS66 to block but if its an empty banner thats not much better
Have you tried vnorama? Seems like a good option, no ads, minimal permissions
Oliver Collins
Need a good 32 or 64GB USB & a good 32 or 64GB SD Card Micro w/adapter or The normal size (lol)
Any recommendations, that you have bought.

Mason Sullivan
Vnorama looks promising, but for the moment I don't like that: - it drifts. - the image looks distorted and there's no way to adjust/tweak it. - on-screen settings button that gets in the way and cannot be hidden. All that being said, it looks like an "honest" app and maybe it'll improve in future versions.
Brayden Gonzalez
Ads in VR remind me too much of black mirror
I'll try the apps you recommended if I can find a cracked paid version, are the free version tolerable?

The first ever direct freight train from China to the UK has arrived to a fanfare in Barking, east London.
The train, carrying millions of pounds worth of socks, cloth, bags, and household goods, set off 18 days ago from the manufacturing city of Yiwu.
It has travelled more than 7,500 miles across seven countries and through the Channel Tunnel to reach London – where a crowd of politicians, journalists and excited residents greeted it.
There were also people dressed up as two colourful Chinese dragons entertaining the crowds before the train arrived just after 1pm.
Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, Cllr Darren Rodwell said: “This is great news for the borough and London.
“It’s a sign of Barking and Dagenham being at the epicentre of the capital’s eastward shift. You could say it’s the rising east meets the far East.”
The new weekly service is thought to be quicker than a container ship and half the price of air freight.
London is the 15th European city to be served by freight trains from China.
The 34-carriage train reportedly contains £4 million of commodities coming directly from the factory floors of Yiwu, where over 60 per cent of the world’s Christmas goods are made or sold.
The eastern city is the source of countless items in most British homes.
Differing rail gauges in different countries means no single train can travel the whole route and the containers have to be reloaded at various stages.
The Chinese locomotive is named after a famous quote from the communist revolutionary leader Mao Zedong: “The east wind will prevail over the west wind.”

To all Curren owners on /csg/, how is the build quality and accuracy on these things? How easy would it be to replace the strap with a NATO?
Joseph Butler
Quick review Bought 2 pairs of budget headphones at around $35. JVC HARX700 and Superlux 662
The JVC is my favorite with an overall very balanced sound. Very warm and rich experience. Bass, mids and highs blend very nicely. I have to say i'm very pleased with this one. I'm actually enjoying it more than my sony mdrv6. This thing definitely sounds like it should cost twice as much.
the superlux was nice too but much "brighter" i guess. The highs were much more prominent. Bass wasnt as punchy as the JVC and vocals weren't as clear as the JVC.
Overall the JVC is better. Songs sound much richer and deep. Anything with vocals sounds better on the JVC. The superlux does have a better soundstage and instrument separation than the JVC. Classical music is almost divine on the superlux
Jose Sanchez
Zst looks better than dzat tho
Dylan Stewart
Not really, ZSTs look corny and flashy. DZATs look classy and elegant.

What I dislike about the Eiaosi's is that there's no way to tell which is left and which is right in low-light conditions.

Can someone give me the link for that bobobird watch? Or a similar model but smaller (No details, no other 2cool4u shit just a simplistic watch)
Nathaniel Jenkins
Pic related, my Curren.
The build quality is pretty good, the watch has a nice bit of weight to it and the face looks very crisp and detailed. The black finish is a bit shinier than expected, but still looks OK. The date function works as expected. The watch is ~100% accurate (maybe loses a few seconds per week), as are pretty much all quartz analog chink watches.
Replacing the strap is possible, but requires finesse and (ideally) a link remover tool, which my watch didn't come with. Make sure to get the band width right before buying.
Also most Curren watches (including the one in your pic) have decorative subdials, don't expect them to work.
Yeah they look really cool. I guess bamboo is cheap, (and being in electrical engineering I can say the quartz part is cheap as shit too). I know they aren't waterproof but they break or are bad in some way?
Anthony Roberts
Nah but they'll probably float.

Battery life? SoT? Have you rooted it? Bootloader? ROM? etc.
Does it get updates? How often?
James Parker
As long as it werks. In bigger grand scheme of things you still saved money.
Asher Morales
So I've been using my Oukitel k6000 pro for about 2 weeks now, here are my impressions in a couple posts. I would be glad if someone screencapped it so the copy-pasta can be spread.
BUILD QUALITY: It's great. 5.5" is a bit big in my opinion, as I need two hands to use it, but your mileage may vary. The metallic back is nice, not slippery. Since the back is metal, it will not keep heat in, but dissipate it very well. I did not encounter thermal throttling on the CPU even while playing Hearthstone and charging the phone with the 2A charger simultaneously. But boy, it can get hot if you do those two at the same time.
Sebastian Powell
DISPLAY: Gorgeous colours and quality. I have not a bad thing to say about it. In some screenshots the colour is tinted since I use the Twilight app.
BATTERY: The main thing in this phone. I have used the phone several days for day-long sessions, as I wanted to do a thorough beat-it-up before giving you folks a review. 4-5 hours of Hearthstone, 2-3 more hours of Youtube watching, 2-3 more hours of reading articles, pdf, web, all this via Wifi. I ended the day with 15% battery remaining. Fascinating! I haven't played games the past couple days, see battery usage in the screenshots attached. Please note that the long gaming session and the battery screencap does not correlate completely, as I forgot to take a screenshot that day. For regular use, see the other screencap with the top batter-consumer apps shown on the side (yellow tint due to Twilight app)
Angel Peterson
BATTERY 2
Altogether, I am pleased. I don't charge this phone daily at all.
Easton Jackson
AUDIO: Speaker is shit. I use the phone with a Shure SE215 earphone (original from EU reseller, not chink copy - do not fall for the memes, the difference is night and day). I am pleased with the audio chip's quality and it does not clip output from lossless significantly. I do use the phone with some old speakers that it can drive comfortably, and sound is nice. I use Neutron and Poweramp for listening.
Nathan Williams
CAMERA: let the photos speak for themselves. Save them for future reference if you will.
Leo Nelson

Carter Nelson
CAMERA: I really like the auto focus. I used to have a shitty phone camera. While this is not great, it definitely a step forward for me. I have noticed that low-light LED lightsourced shots tend to look crappy. Also have to fix white-balance on some bright shots.
Chase James
>I use Neutron and Poweramp for listening why two players though

Sound quality when calling was also pretty neat. It is a 4g phone, works great with Vodafone. My only grudge is that I got fucked for 10k Hungarian Forints via customs. I would recommend not using PostNL and their tracking if you are looking to order from Ali. Still cheaper than buying local by about 32EUR, even with the customs charge. :P
Logan Lewis
I have not rooted the device, as I cannot afford to buy a new one in case I brick it. I have contacted Oukitel for a ROM, since their site does not offer one for this device. There was an OTA update that I installed, October 5 2016 security update on Android 6.0
They are trials. I like Neutron, but its UI is shit. Poweramp is okay-ish, but its UI is shit as well. Maybe some day I'll code my own stuff.
This was my review of the Oukitel k6000 Pro. Let me know if you have any questions.
David Powell
>Maybe some day I'll code my own stuff If you do please copy Neutron with a better UI.
A shame that it's the best music player for Android feature-wise and nothing similar exists yet.
Hunter Ross
It's not open source though, is it? I'm not familiar with audio coding (want to get into it in the long run though, since the linux audio scene needs a rework as much as we need transition from X11), but it might be a good exercise when I get around for some practice in Xamarin.
Asher Gray
>It's not open source though, is it? No it isn't.
That's why i said "copy" instead of "fork" :^)
Isaac Sanchez
I'll be sure to advertise it on Sup Forums if I ever get around it.
Leaving now, good night. Add my info to the wiki or some place, will you? Wouldn't want to copy-paste it all over again.
Overall, it's a pretty nifty phone. Also, the bootloader is unlocked, so I will surely look for a stock rom, CM or Lineage or what the hell it is called these days.
