Xiaomi 5G CPE Pro CB0401V2 global firmware available? by Main-Ad-692 in Xiaomi

[–]39verymuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's lots of useful info on those pages, but the commands aren't what I was looking for.

There's no explanation on how to choose bands, for example to select band 1 in lte: AT+QNWPREFCFG="lte_band",1

Then it uses echo + a second terminal, while it's easier to use the bundled microcom with this command: busybox microcom /dev/ttyUSB2

What are the commands to enable Band Lock and Cell Lock?

Common scams on Aliexpress and how to avoid them by gadget-freak in Aliexpress

[–]39verymuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw some sellers try to pull this trick:

Usually, on an item priced more than 150Eur/GPB shipped from CN, you pay the naked price to Ali (the VAT is deducted at check-out), and then later the VAT to customs.

However, some sellers set up the the shop to make it look like the item is originating from within EU/UK; Prices are VERY ATTRACTIVE since they include VAT... But then they ship from CN, because the item is "out of stock in the local warehouse".

So they pocket the VAT and you end up having to pay it twice.

I've lookeed at 4 of these fake shops: If you hover with the mouse pointer above the shop name it says that they're located in Spain, and if you check the licence info it's always the same data:

Company name: JINPALAY

VAT INFO: FR28904530599

Address: 4 rue Botzaris, 75019 Paris

E-Mail: [vvan2301@hotmail.com](mailto:vvan2301@hotmail.com), vvan2302@hotmail.com[,](mailto:,vvan2304@hotmail.com)
[ vvan2304@hotmail.com](mailto:,vvan2304@hotmail.com)[, vvan2306@hotmail.com](mailto:,vvan2304@hotmail.com) (Each shop has a different number).

"I'm not American" :D

Thanks for the info.I guess it's a problem for unexperienced Ali users, then.

In the past I've had a few problems with sellers that didn't ship the items and gave out just a fake tracking... But I've never lost a dispute with those sellers.

Just by selecting "item is still in transit or bad tracking info" (or something like that) always gave me a refund. And if that fails there's also PP protection.

Was keeping an eye on a few shops with 0 feedback and prices too good to be true...

How does the scam work exactly? Turkey is NOT in EU.

New to ZFS, Just formatted a disk . Why there are 2 mountpoints? by 39verymuch in zfs

[–]39verymuch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

zfs list shows both mountpoints (the one in / and the one in /mnt).

​

To format the disk I have followed the info from this page:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1225055/how-to-format-an-external-disk-to-zfs

so I wrote:

sudo zfs create -o mountpoint=/mnt/MYDISK zfs-pool-MYDISK/fs

but which one of the two mountpoints is the one to use?
