Internet Friend posted:Touchscreens in the car are a pain in the rear end. Give me buttons and knobs. Source: just uninstalled my old touchscreen and installed a 1 DIN regular rear end bluetooth unit Yeah touchscreens are probably the worst kind of interface for anything car. Buttons can communicate their function via shape/behavior/feedback but a touchscreen has to be looked at, correctly pressed because otherwise the lovely overlay will get confused etc

Edgar Allan Pwned posted:Do any of you guys leave pics or reviews? Is there incentive to do so? If you submit reviews, you are more likely to get reviews from sellers, which builds up your review score. This helps you during disputes, where, for example, an A3 gets their disputes handled more quickly or something. I like to leave reviews, really short ones usually, for everything as long as it is OK, if feels like the least I can do considering how much money I have saved.

AliExpress tip: The real benefit of your wishlist is that it will inform you if an item goes to a lower price than it was when you listed it. Since AliExpress sellers often have things constantly "on sale" this is a way to differentiate actual lower prices from the sale price they have active every single second. So if you list an item when it is "on sale" at 10% off, the wishlist will alert you if it goes to 20% off, or if the price in any way puts the total charge for the purchase lower than it was when you listed it. So these are often available "on sale" for $4 as opposed to base price $5:  But today they're $3.14. Pick fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Feb 15, 2017 |

As long as you aren't sending your SSN to sellers over shady emails the payment part is safe. The products you buy still might give you cancer.

My two 50-packs of stickers arrived in record time, less than a month. But I have to say I'm pretty disappointed, they're like 3/4 the size I expected them to be, and there's a lot of dumb designs that weren't even shown on the respective pages I ordered them from. I can only assume that there is no difference between any of the lots you pick, they all come from the same heaping pile of stolen skateboard deck artwork. So out of the 100 stickers I ordered, I only really like 20 of them. But for $4 and free shipping I guess I can't really complain, plus I have like 80 stupid stickers I can stick wherever I go.

I'm always losing tweezers too. I ordered ten packs of mini tweezers that are copies of a set Sephora had at one point, and Walgreen's copied. Four different tip types per pack. 95 cents per pack, free ePacket. Now I can yank out all my eyebrow hairs without loving up my nail polish I've only opened four packs, too. I've included two in beauty product orders that were big enough to warrent more than just a couple single-use samples, and if I have an order that doesn't really tell me what kind of samples / goodies the person would like, it's bath stuff & a single set of tweezers in a fancy paper bag Got some nail file sets on the way for the same reason. Hopefully they're as good as most things I've gotten from AE.
