Threadly reminder to never ever buy the Mi5 or any Xiaomi phone ever again:
Xiaomi has literally fucked up the Mi5 with the last few updates.
During the last few ROM updates, Xiaomi managed to fuck up literally everything. Currently I am personally facing:
1. GPS sometimes locks, sometimes it doesn't, and it's unsure for how long it stays locked. Also, it almost never works when plugged in to my car's QC charger.
2. Super high idle battery drain. It used to be awesome, now it loses 10-15% every night while just sitting.
3. Ram issues, apps seem to close way faster than before.
4. I cannot use Bluetooth to play music anymore, it's broken. Before you ask, I've tried 2 different speakers and a headset, paired/unpaired/reset everything, no result.
5. I cannot use a wired headset to talk, as the mic doesn't work. Tried 3 different headsets, and 2 of them were Xiaomi (piston 3s and hybrids).
6. Google Now/Assistant doesn't work properly. Always some weird permission bs when you try to play a song / navigate home / set an alarm etc. Practically unusable.
7. Overheats af if just loaded with apps with a ~25 degree ambient temp. I've seen the 45 degree warning quite a few times.
8. The performance has degraded rapidly. Sometimes it feels like my old HTC One M8, with the sluggishness to switch apps and the inability to even draw some apps without 5 seconds passing with a blank screen. It even freezes up on the Google Now launcher when pressing the home button when it's loaded..
You won't find anything worthwhile from chinks, all they have are those dinky cathead keychain thing(made from abs or some other brittle plastic) and some flashlight 'batons'. Mostly because most of stuff is illegal in China.
Angel Cooper
Nice micoSD card!
Jordan Flores
When you have to copypasta an obscure reddit post which immediately gets debunked in the comments to make your dead Lenovo sub-brand look better. Pathetic. You're pathetic.
I know who's acting like a shill here and it sure isn't RegularOP.
Kevin Martinez
Just bought a redmi note 4 global edition, after using my galaxy S3 for 5 years :D The best deal in my life
Tyler Anderson
REEEEEEEE. It's the same price on ali with free shipping, so whatever.
Jacob Foster
Jesus dude just fucking recable them if you like them that much. If you do a good job the cables will last way longer.

what is the blue water drop character icon on taobao search results? sometimes it's gray.
Dylan Wilson
who makes these nice csg graphics?
Thomas Phillips
poo
David James
What?
Bentley Green
it's interesting
Adrian Morgan
buying from aliexpress for the first time. do they accept paypal?
Sebastian Ramirez
Is the Kingdian S280 still the go-to cheap SSD, or is there anything better and cheaper out there? What about the new Kingdian series?
I'm looking at a 60 to 128GB SSD for linux.
Noah Bell
Nope, you have to use alipay. If you're that afraid about chink CC security, just use prepaid credit card/visa gift card.
William Murphy
Are the flashlight batons good tho?
Thomas Taylor
No
Kingdian S280 is generic TLC SSD, it's fast until buffer runs out. But every TLC SSD will have that issue.
Ayden Young
you can go to ali and check something so basic yourself
Wyatt Garcia
So, what should I buy? I only have experience with MLC (a Transcend mSATA SSD).
Aaron Bailey
You'd be better off with wrapping some bike chain to electrical tape or carrying a D cell battery and sock with you if you had to go nigging.
John Perry
Literally me, RN3P is a Chink classic
Carson Cox

Cooper Cruz
Anyone ever buy shit from Wish?
Carson Cruz
>All flash sale stock has sold out
Kill me. Fucking kill me. I wanted to order that thing yesterday but fell asleep. Now I'm home from work and it's fucking gone.
Are there any decent alternatives to the Xiaomi Air?
FUCK.
Kevin Peterson
is for normies, aliexpress shit with a markup
Luis Edwards
Im pretty sure there was an user here yesterday bitching about ali asking him to credit their identity when buying with a prepaid card
Yup, but what else can you do besides trusting that alipay handles their shit properly(which it afaik does)
Owen Russell
Want a smartwatch, is Xiaomi Mi Band 2 for €20 a good deal? Also, how good is the waterproofing? They say it's IP67, but can you actually go swimming with it?
Jaxson Howard
>what else can you do Buying from sites that accept Paypal?
Kevin Sanders
It's a pretty good watch. The waterproofing seems solid. I've had it underwater for quite some time with no ill effects but I imagine it's only rated for 30 minutes or so
Jackson Thompson
Just get a hakko fx 601, cheap and reliable
Ryder Nguyen
you again....
Josiah Sullivan
but that's even worse than alipay
Jaxson Reyes
links? i had gotten a 10 dollar pair for the gym, they lasted 3 workouts before bugging out
Nathaniel Murphy
Nice display but downgrade in everything else for the same price. Eh, guess I'll wait more and hate myself.
Juan Flores
what is alipay
Ryder Allen
You sure? It's still showing 587€ for me, 10 left. If you're talking about the Air 13, that is.
Hudson Lee
Yes. If I try to checkout it's telling me they've run out.
Kevin Watson
>i blindly trust jews because everyone does it
Nathan Mitchell
It's 596€ with the coupon GAirS13 btw
Angel Butler
It was a bit disappointing in the beginning, but now the firmware upgrades made it fucking incredible.
It works great for workout and has integration with Sleep as Android. The waterproofing worked for me, but I never swimmed with it.
David Price
Gearbest doesn't have this problem.
Landon Martin
You can't buy it nigga.
I'll try that then
Christian Sanders
Smashed my pebble to bits yesterday Is the "No. 1 G3 smartwatch" any decent?
Landon Richardson
Yes the Kingdian S280 is still the go-to cheap SSD the 240gb one is currently on "sale" for $77 and 120gb one is $61
Plenty of anons have them for a year or so now and no reports of them shitting the bed and the speeds are still great.
Awwww shit nigga, that fucking worked. 10 bucks more but I actually got one.
The "flash sale stock" has run out was the message, your coupon made it a non-flash-sale purchase and I could order one.
Chinked out of 10 bucks but I fucking got one. Thanks man, you made my goddamn night.
Nathaniel Perez
Should I get the 120gb for a linux or barebones windows installation, or is 64GB enough? I won't be storing much data on the disk, just the OS and maybe some PDFs.
Evan Torres
so you really want everything spoon fed? Is it so hard to google for 5 minutes and find out how much space a distribution takes? Next you want us to tell you which one to install and how you prepare the flash drive? >current state of Sup Forums I need to get off this ride
Jeremiah Morales
Just a reminder, this time last year the 120gb s280 sold for $30 and the 240gb one for $55
Julian Diaz
Have one of the earliest Chinese SSDs and it's still going strong.
Brandon Gomez
Touch Screen Tactical Gloves Military Armed Army Paintball Shooting Airsoft Combat Anti-Skid Rubber Knuckle Full Finger Gloves s.aliexpress.com/aayMZZvA (from AliExpress Android)
Is this good?
Camden Sanders
Which is why I said on ""sale""
Thomas Martinez
to be fair, the 120GB EVO 750 was 15 bucks less this time last year, too But there is no denying that we memed the price up, just like with the sharks
Easton Perry
kingston, adata, sandisk, drevo are cheaper tho
Landon Kelly
but only htc owners have sense
Ryder Smith
64GB is more than enough for Lunix. 128 is probably better for Windows because Microsoft keeps shitting out fuckhuge updates, plus you will invariably end up installing a bunch of games.
Jonathan Bennett
i have a 120gb with arch on it and didnt install any games. really makes you thonk
Ryan Edwards
well you have an useless shitnux os, even 2 gb is enough when you dont have stuff to use on it
Jack Flores
how much of that is comfy screengrabs
Leo Gutierrez
Step aside Sharks, meet the Mixza Chicken.

I got a random set of thin, clear, rubber cylinders about 3" in length. I checked all my orders, and nothing I ordered even slightly resembles this.
WHAT DID MR. CHAN MEAN BY THIS??
