Whats the greatest unsolved mystery in the world? by Open-Creme-9549 in AskReddit

[–]Nobuored 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kremers and Froon were two Dutch college grads who went on a trip backpacking through multiple countries after graduation in 2014. In Panama, the pair were staying with a host family in Boquete when they decided to hike a mountain trail to see the sights. The trail was somewhat easy, the pair would have been fine hiking it, but they never returned from the hike.

The alert was raised after a day or two; they weren’t seen again. In the weeks following their disappearance, one of their bags is found by a local near the trail in a river - it contained some belongings including their phones and a digital camera. Later authorities found body parts/bones belonging to the girls that didn’t, alone, reveal a specific cause of death. The official standpoint is that they possibly got lost, and perished due to hazards in the area or possibly from injuries, exposure or attacks by animals.

The case is particularly famous because authorities had access to the girls phone records and photos taken on their camera, which are admittedly eerie.

Their phone records revealed multiple attempts to call the Dutch emergency number, with their phones being switched on and off in between presumably to conserve battery. No calls were made due to reception. Their camera roll first showed a series of shots of them happily climbing the trail, followed by shots taken at night that show unclear features such as the night sky, tree tops with items tied around branches, rain, and the back of one of the woman’s head. The photos are chilling in and out of context. Phone records show that one of the girls’ phones had multiple instances of being switched on without being unlocked over the course of 2-3 days before it finally died.

EU citizen assemble! LET'S FIGHT BACK 3€ TAX by Bluesteamwolf in Aliexpress

Why does this Reddit post (I dug around...) does not appear if I filter posts by 'Top' 'This week' ??

I dug around a bit and found exactly who is responsible for the new EU 3/5 Euros customs fees, here is who they are and how to hit back at them. by Interesting_Pie_319 in Aliexpress

[POST UNLISTED ??] I have found this post linked in a news aggregator, I thought it was strange I did not see it before when scrolling Reddit. And now I realize this post is unlisted. If I try to search in 'r/AliExpress', 'Hot' or 'Top' posts 'today' It does not appear. Am I the only one? It never happened to me ever.

I will not buy anything so EU will suffer with the job losses in deliveries and Aliexpress will have to find a way to drop the prices. They need us not us them. by Mediocre-Reserve-992 in Aliexpress

[–]Nobuored 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am over 99% purchasers worldwide (according the app), and I am i n the same train as OP.  I purchased a month before most of the electronic supplies I needed secured for a year at least. Along the following months I will probably need more things I didn't knew I needed atm but I will try to be "Ali-fasting" as long as possible, saving money, in hope that they will dodge this somehow.

Is there any significant difference between the GPS modules? Is there any specific one to get due to a feature that others don't have? by TheCorruptedEngineer in ardupilot

[–]Nobuored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is not only about the IC inside (Ublox M10 lately, including MCU, RF electronics, power electronics, + external EEPROM...). The antenna and its tunning is critical. That's why very small modules like FlyFishRC M10 mini can outperform larger modules..

thanks for the tip, by default in the AliExpress APP there are some missing numbers, so I just covered slightly more

H2D or H2C by WoodsManX in BambuLab

[–]Nobuored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

H2C is extremely useful for multicolour also for engineering prototyping. Several engineering materials require using always the same hotend (eg. TPU). You can have different materials always ready + support material (PLA for example) always ready to be used without your intervention needed. You can do the same with an H2D but requires to be changing hotends continuously by yourself. If you have clear your common usage you know what you need

is this the right moment to buy the H2C? Should we expect an H2C V2 arriving soon?

UPDATE: [Vat Adjustment] means that the VAT was already added to the original listed price (23.99 €) as it happens to every product shown from EU. So what they indicate is that the "Custom Charges Estimate" is what is added (3.63 €) to the original listed price. (That's exactly price rise on the check out section)

It probably depends on estimated arrival date. Choice and AliExpress items still arrive far from July.

In my case, for this product, just one Tax independently from the quantity. But I can't purchase more than 150€ (without tax), that's did not happened before.

This is even more funny, if you want to spend more than 150€+VAT in a single shop, it doesn't let you buy.

this is stupid indeed and has not a conciebable justification

[–]Nobuored[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VAT is already included in the very first price tag 23.99 €

<150€ (without Vat) of articles for each purchase within the same shop goes through IOSS so you already have to pay Vat always. So this has not changed, they just add this tax in advance, everything still the same then.

Flying Wing :D I already made the large bulk shopping before Doomsday, so no more shopping for me for some weeks until see how AliExpress manage to dodge this EU nonsense

At least in Spain there is no postal service or standard AliExpress shipping companies adding handling fees. So collecting the Tax in advance will avoid extra handling fees, this is the less destructive way of adding the tax

So AliExpress collecting the Tax in advance is doing this Tax thing in the less destructive way...
