I hope this isn’t perceived as advertising… I’m quite apprehensive about making this purchase and will absolutely update with my progress if/when the console arrives.
In the meantime, if anyone out there has any experience buying through AliExpress I would love to hear from you. This is my first purchase and I feel like it’s a total gamble.
If this is somehow perceived as advertising, mods please delete immediately. I do not want to violate any rules. This community is too awesome to lose!
This is probably the exception, but I bought a bunch of smart bulbs from there 4 years ago (all pre-flashed with Tasmota). They’re still going strong and get used daily.
Yeah, they’re isolated on a separate, no-internet VLAN if you’re worrying about my security posture lol. That said, I’ve never noticed them trying to make any suspicious outbound connections.
