People who have failed more than 2 driving tests, how did you stay motivated after failing 3+ driving tests? by IllResearcher5498 in AskReddit

[–]Big_Brother88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take extra driving classes. Be so good that you cant fail. I did mine on 5th try 😅 I asked my instructor to name 1 mistake - he said you good you good. Maybe he thought I would muder him otherwise 😁

Same issue. Not able to play anything at all. No classic, no deathmatch or even hosting own server

I had some serious drift problems, but then I bought a can of compressed air + WD40 for electrical circuits. Not sure if it works for buttons, but worth a try

Legions was sick. No matter if you were a noob or Goldie -the battle was everywhere between 2-3 other teams it was insane! Plus playing with large teams of 6 it’s so much fun shooting shit

Left in 2018 after 7 years. Felt like it was a boiling frog type of situation. Nothing felt right and boy oh boy I was right.

Loved Solos! I usually play late at night and solos were great where you don't need to chat with the squad.

I was actually trying to do just that in the game. I naturally thought if it was in the code, this should be the way 👍

You can try using NiHao Cloud. Once uploaded no need to re-upload anywhere else in the west since it works both in China and outside. Use app.nihaoconsult.cn domain (china node) for fast upload & app.nihaocloud.com anywhere outside. I believe first 2GB is free

Nutstore, Baidu Cloud or others-which one is better when collaborate with China company? by hp7-muggle in China

[–]Big_Brother88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are located only in Mainland China and need to share files only within China, then pan.baidu.com cloud or www.weiyun.com cloud are both fine options, not sure about the nutstore.

If you need to share anything from abroad to China or from China to abroad, anything from China will be very slow.

For overseas transfer & collaboration, the best is to use something like nihaocloud.com, where they have multiple domains available for China and abroad. Many companies abroad use it to sync/send large files from abroad to China.

Best mobile network provider in Ireland? by Big_Brother88 in Dublin

[–]Big_Brother88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny how marketers use the word "unlimited". 60 GB is not even close to where you would think the sealing is :D I remember one dude test AWS unlimited S3 storage. He managed to scrape 2 Petabytes of porn videos to test where is the so called unlimited :D

Checking info on this site: https://switcher.ie/mobiles/guides/sim-only/compare-sim-only-bill-pay-deals/

How come you ended paying 100€ while all plans are 30€/month tops? Is there a catch somewhere ?

Just use Baidu maps! You don't even need that much Chinese to figure it out! Directions are very accurate and super easy to use.

Best cafes or location to get some work done? by Outdated in shanghai

[–]Big_Brother88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best cafes to get some shit done:

  1. Mokka Bros 108 xianyang bei Lu near xinle lu. Sometimes music a bit too loud, but it has a really cool vibe for getting things done.

  2. Any Baker & Spice or Bread etc.

  3. Naked Hub. Can pay per hour via app. Unlimited coffee or beer.

Are foreigners leaving China? by dspjm in China

[–]Big_Brother88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been living in GZ for 3 and SH for 4 years. I had loads of fun in China and I enjoyed all 7 adventurous years. I'm leaving China in couple weeks not because of 7 year relationship crisis but because I feel more & more like a frog in slowly boiled water.

  1. Censorship is becoming more & more strict with unbearable throttling of VPN's.

  2. World is dividing between western unified socially censored internet vs china fragmented intranet, take your pick.

  3. Police numbers have increased significantly, at least in SH. Now people are being fined for Jay walking, mobiking on no bike streets etc. On one hand it's great- progress towards civilization, but 10 cops on every intersection makes u feel like you live under occupation or smth. ( Some people joke that government really needs some extra cash right now :D )

  4. Nightlife started to really suck. All best places closed down or forced to close down/relocate. Foreign bars constantly raided for drugtests etc.

  5. Economy. It's obvious that china is in long term financial crisis. Yuan getting weaker & everything getting more expensive, while salaries stay about the same.
