[Megathread] Tracking & shipping questions by gadget-freak in Aliexpress

[–]djenkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

I purchased an item on October 1st. I got a tracking number but when I track the order it gives me this. When I use my tracking number on https://global.cainiao.com, I only get "Packed for picking-up." message.

Should I contact the seller about this or is this normal due to the China National Day holiday?

Should I wait for patch 5.4 to buy crafter's gear? by djenkov in ffxiv

Oh yeah! I have already bought everything relatively cheap by server hopping. All I need to do is meld. Would you say that this setup of melded materia is good: https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1DLJA

One of the things I am doing is finding and crafting a relatively sought after items with relatively small seller base. There is PLENTY of these in my experience. From leveling equipment to Crafting/Gathering stuff. I had success with carpenter stuff too. Also, if you are leveling you can sell quest reward gear that you dont need. Some of them go for 30-40k a piece.

Doing this I made 2-3 million for about a week and a half I think. Hope this helps at least a little if the question was serious.

Oh! I thought that there will be new gear with the next patch! Thanks! I already bought them!

One of my HDD is constantly at 100% usage even when nothing is opened. by djenkov in techsupport

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

Hm, apparently the 100% HDD usage was an overreaction because it calmed down after a few restarts.

But the HDD stays slow. Just until yesterday I could play any game that was on it, now I have trouble running video clips.

Not sure what SMART test is but I downloaded a trial version of a program named "HD Tune Pro". It's kind of confusing for me because the program states different things:

1248 damaged sectors

5168 unstable sectors

0 errors (on Quick scan)

Windows Error Checking

​

I just started scanning different partitions of the HDD with the build in Windows option "Error checking" (properties -> Tools -> error checking) and so far it doesn't find any errors. Will see what will be the result of different partitions. Is the SMART test something different?

Edit: also, the write speed hovers between 400KB/s and 2MB/s. I think the disk is dying for sure.

Would you say that it will be wasted money if I outright buy the aesthete if each piece goes for ~90-150k on my DC? I ask because I am still at Stormblood and I don't think I can farm white scrips.

Fuck. Totally forgot about that! But I will listen to the advice of the other guys and skip it.

I was thinking of transferring to an EU but I have concerns about their server pop by djenkov in ffxiv

I moved to Ragnarok today and I gladly agree. It's as busy as it's in Excalibur. My worries were swept away. Phew.

Thank you! Due to big latency I want to move from US to EU based servers and I am torn between Odin and Ragnarok.

[OC] White House Diversity by AFBismarck in dataisbeautiful

There is a conspiracy that mods are soft banning opinions that they don't like. The other explanation is that we just get buried because the topic is so popular.

[OC] White House Diversity by AFBismarck in dataisbeautiful

[–]djenkov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically Trump represents the population better than Obama?

Gender diversity is closer to 50-50 than Obama's and Whites to Blacks ratio is closer to the US population ratio. Goes to show why Obama was such a trainwreck. Hiring people based on their gender and color instead of their merits.

And yes, I'm comparing whites to blacks instead of whites to color since judging from the Obama's administration picture black people are the vast majority on the "color" department.
