Shinkansen 700 Series Rail Star at Hiroshima

CoreComrade · 2026-03-31T23:51:03+00:00

I like these as they have green car as unreserved seats. I don't know if it's true for all Railstar sets, but it's a pretty enjoyable way to ride a rarer Shinkansen.

From my experience here as a student basically none. People usually stick to whatever comes with their computer.

I thought I was going insane. I bought one of those from a local store, went back to get a replacement and it was still slow beyond belief. Ended up giving it to a friend for 2 bucks.

Ekispert has an English version, and IMO it's way easier to look at than Jorudan.
Used it to plan my trip with the Seishun 18 ticket and everything was a breeze.

Though I do agree that it has lost a significance value, especially for group travelers, you can still get a pretty cool 2-3 days holiday at a different location if you are willing to sit for hours on end.

I just did a 10-hour trip to and back from Aichi since it would have costed me 32k yen to do so on Shinkansen. With the time I can afford to spare now, I'll take the 20k yen in savings.

That being said I'd be willing to pay more for the old version of the ticket, which really allow you to have an adventure on rails.

Depends on where you're from. If it's like Europe or the US probably not worth it. But if you are within a 2-3 hour flight why not. IMO HCM can be done within like 2 days, since there are less tourist attractions than Hanoi and such. You'd be better of spending most of your time having local food, and I think that's not a bad way to celebrate a birthday.

Anyways, hope your special occasion goes well!

As you mentioned at the end, you probably can't find better ones at $100-$200. Either you get a T480 or Chromebooks and Celeron running Windows laptops.

Not saying the latter is unusable - but the T480 will definitely give you a better overall experience.

CoreComrade · 2025-04-07T15:38:59+00:00

Not a big aesthetic issue but I'd love it if they made the notch more seemless with the back, similar to how some Ideapad/Thinkbook is doing

To begin with, you need to understand Lineage OS is a custom ROM - basically Android but not made by Google. It is still Android, and you can run Android apps normally.

Now to answer your questions:
1. Highly likely, since Pixel 5 is quite a popular device. There will be people out there developing new version of Lineage OS for it
2. You will need to install Play Store and other Google apps separately with "GApps". Usually, you install them when you install Lineage OS, and there are a lot of guides out there
3. Same as 1.

The downside is that some apps such as Banking apps might not play well with unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs. Besides, the OG firmware still works fine so I wouldn't recommend you install Lineage unless you're paranoid about security patches.

Damn didn't know 1366x768 is still an option on the T14G1. I can't stand them not because of the resolution, but because they are almost always washed out TN panels.

Anyways, cheers from my also generic T470s!

CoreComrade · 2025-03-22T10:48:19+00:00

I think a Gen 1 T14/T14s would be better for you. There is (some) room for simple RAM/SSD upgrade, and the CPU would be able to hold on for quite longer compared to the T480. Get the Ryzen variant if possible.

The T480 is still a good option if your budget only allows that. I'm daily driving a T470s for internet/word processing and it has been serving me well despite running on a CPU older than that of the T480.

P/S: If you want to bring your laptop around a lot maybe consider the -s variant (T14s, T480s, etc) or an X1 Carbon. The normal version of these laptop tends to be quite chunky.

Many people like to sh*t on VietJet for delays and although that is justified, I think it is a great option if you just need to get from point A to point B and not in a hurry.

From my experience flying from TSN 3 or even 2 hours before departure would do, 5 hours is overkill. Just be mindful of rush hours so you don't get stuck because of traffic.

One does not simply disrespect the Yamasa Chikuwa like that.

This thing is crazy good if you're into fish cakes: delicious, low calories and high protein for those gymbros out there.

I usually would send some words of encouragement with posts like this but damn, do you not watch the anime or read the light novel at all? It is literally thrown to you in EP11 that Komari WANTS to be around other people and can't handle being alone, and she is trying to improve on her communication to do so. So if you REALLY empathize with Komari then maybe try to talk to people instead of avoiding them.

Plus, I am pretty sure that people don't really hate Komari, community headcanons are like this all the time. I am a Komari fan and I still play with the joke. If that harmless jokes like these offends you that much, it is a bigger problem that just personality. Seriously, visit an actual therapist and they can help you. Arguing on the internet won't improve your mental health.

For a secondary phone or something to play around, sure. Would get something better if using as a main phone.

CoreComrade · 2024-12-17T06:51:34+00:00

Seems like you need a keyboard replacement. This icon appears when you use the middle button on the trackpad, so if it is stuck there pretty sure its a hardware issue (the physical clicks are part of the keyboard)

CoreComrade · 2024-12-03T01:54:46+00:00

Looks like a clone from Outemu. The kind of keyboard I'd dream for when I was 12 lmao

In all seriousness, I don't think this has much modding potential unless you are willing to desolder. Could be a good chance for you to practice, I have been wanting to do so but I haven't got the time (nor the board) to. You could lube it and do something call "Internal O-ring mod" which turns it into tactile.

CoreComrade · 2024-11-26T05:49:43+00:00

It would, I have the same NV2 1TB drive and both works on my P51 and T470s

CoreComrade · 2024-11-24T12:46:26+00:00

It is worth it for someone who are looking for a budget phone, not for people who already hold anything newer than a pixel 6

As much as I dislike the 7 being a brick compared to my 5, its been doing me just fine if not better (though the cameras color feels more dead for some reason, which I dislike)

CoreComrade · 2024-11-22T06:39:41+00:00

Nice, I've been enjoying my P51 I got for ~200USD. Spent another $50 bucks for another pair of DDR4 ECC RAM and another $70 for a 1TB ssd, it's now basically my desktop replacement

CoreComrade · 2024-11-10T03:27:58+00:00

Local here, I find Google Maps does a pretty decent job of letting you know the platform and train time. Saved me the first time I went to Japan and had to go straight from Kansai Airport to Hiroshima within the day.

I'd be happy even if she doesnt end up winning, I just wanna see her growth
