What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other projects or weird thing in the cart with it. It doesent have to be hobby electronics with soldering and all that but bonus points if it is.

Probably the best thing I got there was clone of RSP1 with selectable band pass filters for €20. 10kHz - 2GHz range with up to 10MHz of bandwidth in Zero IF mode, although it seems it’s more like 8MHz that’s actually usable. It’s not sold where I bought it anymore, but maybe you could still find it.
It’s this one: https://i.imgur.com/ic2dflg.jpg

The only problem is compatibility, and the fact that I had to install some proprietary API from SDRPlay on my laptop as a SystemD service.
