AliExpress is where I buy. Temu is more down-market.

I get a lot of consumables from Temu and am never disappointed. Just waiting for another parcel of goodies!

What makes you think Temu has different products from AliExpress ??
They are both 'box pushers' who front multiple sources ....

Different type of customer perhaps?

If you stay on first page of items with TEMU - then the idea its for the 'cheaper' customer can prevail - but scroll on further and you soon see same items - similar prices to AliExpress and even dear old Amazon ...
What I find annoying though is TEMU will expand your searched for item so that as you scroll further - items not looked for appear ... suppose its their way like supermarkets - to get you to look wider ..

I don't see any fanless mini PCs on Amazon at the anywhere near the price I paid on AliExpress. I bought because of reviews on Reddit. The cost of RPi with MacArthur hat and issues with wiring everything up moved me to a Linux mini pic. Not yet installed, but I'll get back in 2 or 3 years and tell you if it went kaput.
I admit to buying cheap bits off Temu but never really spent much money with them and never felt I was cheated.
