I really hate AliExpress these days.

They used to be a good place to buy items and delivery from France or Spain, but now they have changed everything and moved their shipping location to the east and almost every seller is using these dirty tricks to get people to click on their item.

I am looking for a soil press to build my own nursing blocks. The ones from the Dutch company are about 40 to 70 Euro and was surprised when I found one on AE so cheap.

But when tried to add to my cart, I saw that the price on the main page was for some crappy plastic sticks and the metal block press is actually about €22 .

If I had a welding machine, I would make them myself. But I may end up buying the ones from Netherlands that comes with solid metal and not some cheap sheet metal that this AE item is probably made of.

I really hate the click bait posts on AliExpress!

They show you an item with ridiculously low price, but when you click on it, you see that it's not the image visible that is for that price, but a crappy piece of the unit and if you want the whole unit, it costs many times that (see second image).

Ebay used to have that, but they were forced to change it because someone sued them, but in case of AE, they don't care.

Your T95 is infected with malware pre-installed, ready to do whatever the C2 servers decide. Yes, malware from Amazon straight to your door! If they insist on selling these devices they really should add an "Includes Malware" category in the Android #TV section.

Best item I have bought on AliExpress!

Almost everyone I know, has one ATX power supply in their storage (I know, right...).

Using them as it is, is not that easy for most people, but this little board makes it possible to use it as a powerful DIY power source.

I also ordered an adjustable step up power board to be able to convert the +5V into an adjustable 0-30V at 3A.

It makes it a perfect bench supply and with a proper box, it can be a great use for anyone who needs one.

WOOOOT - eBay and Amazon (wtf!?) "okay" with dangerous Fake and Scam Phones (S21 Ultra) offered and sold via it's platform (some explode during charging)

in previous rant, it was about “trying to return a product to China and get money back? well…. does not work in 99.9% of all cases”

this is outright fraudulent allowance of eBay to sell more fake and scam stuff, which just like selling copied DVDs is a crime in most countries:
