Quite a lot of mouses aren't shaped ambidextrously.

I bought Awei Q35 a few weeks ago, it's okay, but not really satisfied with it. What IEM do you guys recommend? I prefer without that gay MIC on its wiring.
>>
>>54301256
pair of white canvas shoes, yes. solid quality, fits better than converses if you have slightly wider feet than average. was 27 bucks, but totes worth.

2nd best thing was KZ-ATE, i mean for 8 bucks, the quality is astounding. the mic is also pretty decent for iem mic, not amazing, but okay quality.

Best: New, genuine 9-cell for my X200 for $40. It's either a ghost shift or a really, really good fake.

Worst: Fake Piston 2's, holy shit I nearly caught autism from them. If anyone wants to spend $4.11 they're almost worth it for the entertainment value.

Protip: When it comes to temperature measurement, consider yourself lucky to be consistent to within about half a degree. Both measurement methods (thermocouple and IR) have major flaws standing in the way of accuracy, accounting for which takes not just quality equipment, but also professional training.
Also, the measurements themselves are inaccurate - you usually have to measure a single point in a pretty wide temperature distribution, or you measure the temperature of a fluid through the skin or a container.
>>
>>54301889
Good idea.
However the sale on what I'm ordering ends in a few hours. I might just chance it; it's a debit card and I'm impoverished so there's not a whole lot for anyone to steal.
>>
>>54301974
Manual says its accuracy is ±1.5ºC, more than good enough for me, especially considering it was just an impulse buy
>>
>>54302010
Card transactions go through Alipay by default, like when it goes through Paypal without having to log in. And Alipay isn't any less secure than Paypal.
>>
>>54302102
>>54302010
By secure I mean that the random chink vendors won't get your card info, Alipay keeps your data private and handles transactions for you.

1) Check the time that the tracking number says it departed

3) ????
4) You've found your plane.

>>54301974
This.
Not to mention, with such a handheld thermometer there is no way you know the emissivity of the surface you are measuring hence you will never get the correct temperature.
The IR thermometer we are discussing should be plenty fine for everyday use though. It does not really matter if your oven is 383K or 386K. All you want to know is that it is close to 385K...
>>
>>54302475
Listen to this gentleman:
>>54302509
If you try to cheap out on a heavily used pen or pencil, you'll end up getting poor results and paying more. Mechanical pencils in particular are a torture when you use a shitty one where the lead keeps shifting around and breaking, and the lead advance mechanism is inconsistent and unreliable.

Got to jetpens.com to browse a wide selection of models with plenty of reviews, fine a model you like and then look it up on ebay to find the best price.

http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_334004.html

Ordered this for $25.91 during the cakebux sale, testing it for ~2 hours, some comments:
- There was a software update. Now running Android 5.1.1.
- Despite the seller's claims, the box is prerooted, SuperSU Free is installed out of the box.
- It can play H265 10bit 1080p with Kodi, haven't tried other players yet.
- Skype and Hangouts video call works if you plug a webcam into it.
- Twitch works. Both native app and as a Kodi addon.
- Feels well built. Judging by its weight it should have a massive heatsink inside.
- The remote feels a bit slow but it's acceptable. I think I'll order some bluetooth keyboard later.
- The power supply is very light, I hope it won't burn down my house.
- The box doesn't seem to support the XBOX 360 controller. Looking at dmesg I think the driver is not compiled into the kernel.
- The system seems to kill every single application in the background, so no spotify in the background without hacking. To fix this, you need to ssh into the box, became root, remount /system as rw and delete this file: /system/etc/allowbackgroundapp.list
- Google Play Services fix: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-7-03-release/google-play-services-8-7-03-2645110-248-android-apk-download/
- All launchers are shit for TV and the chink one that comes shipped with the box looks like ass. The Google official "Android TV Launcher" app doesn't work on this box.
- There are surprisingly few bloatware preinstalled, no sign of any malware.

Is there any consensus on the best 8" chinktab at the moment? I liked the look of the Teclast X80 Pro but are there battery issues?

Dunno, this is the first time I've thought of doing it.

I'm not sure if that's the same for every airport.

I've been eyeing it off for a while.

The main thing that has put me off it is

>b) there's no B28 (700Mhz) support

I'm waiting for somebody to crack how the NON-HLOS.bin file works for LTE modems so they can start unlocking bands proper. AFAIK the Mi5 uses the new Qualcomm radio and amps, which are supposed to support worldwide bands.

Well so far what I've got is this: when I was hunting down sellers on Aliexpress, one advertised if you picked the option of DHL they automatically used "European Union Express" which guarantees not custom duty or tax, I'm thinking because that service (unknown how it works) makes it so that the package is being shipped from inside EU so no taxes are needed, meanwhile others offer you standard ali which is mail and roll the dice to see if you get taxes.
Problem for me is that if I choose that option, the total price is ~240€, which comes very close to what I had to pay in custom taxes if I just went and rolled the dice, so it's not really that good a deal for me.
Also some sellers on the product description say they declare a much lower price for what's inside (in my case, they said they declared 65$ when it was about +200$ the order), I don't really know how that translate on taxes, if you get caught lying about it what can happen.

Best price option I've found is get it from gearbest or banggood EU/US storage so long you live inside the same region, but all Prime (3/32 instead of 2/16) versions are sold out, so I just went for the basic one. Total cost 180 with express + insurance 4-7 days and no extra fees.
>>

Any seller who offers "European Union Express" which as >>54305196 indicated does what he said. Just look for a seller that advertise uses that method.
Not sure how they do it though.

guys what's a good e reader

>>54305772
Always check your options. Some items are cheaper on ebay/amazon than on ali. Especially if you take customs into the equation.

My best advice for you regarding customs rules is to look them up for your particular country. Every country has different rules.

Xiaomeme primarily produce products for the domestic market. If they haven't got into the e-reader game presumably it's because either Chinamen are too busy slave labouring away to read or because the shitty Chinese orthographic system doesn't translate well to e-ink screens.
