Yup, those are basically just white-label products. It's a humongous part of everything we buy.

I consider AliExpress no more or less safe than most other sites. The real challenge is in wading through the millions of seemingly identical items posted by identical sellers with just slightly different product descriptions or some silly inconsequential characteristic, like the colour of the PCB. As for the quality... Yeah, you often get what you pay for. If I'm ordering a random electronic part I can't find elsewhere, I'll often order 2x the quantity I need, just to account for the  quality control.

Collateral Damage posted:There's been plenty of those. They reference tons of lovely sites that have legitimately sounding names but nobody has ever heard of, and those sites basically just publish anything that get thrown their way because they're desperate for content.

Companies like RZ Mask have been selling similar stuff for a long while already. Without the connectivity bs, of course. edit: just one of the alternatives, as mentioned above.

Not a Kickstarter per se, but certainly in the spirit of the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy6nZr1J4Jg Go on, guess how much it costs. Now guess higher. $345 to $490

tuyop posted:Sounds like a raspberry pi to me. It does, but its really depends on the person whether you find it worthwhile to DIY that particular thing. I happily bought an Armiga, an ARM-based Amiga emulator even though I probably could've made a Pi-based one myself. I would've hated every minute of making one as I can't stand coding, so I'll gladly outsource that hell to someone. The people behind this thing could absolutely disappear overnight, but so far they've updated the firmware and added AGA support. Plus, the case is wonderful:
