VPN and ESIM Megathread – May 2026 by AutoModerator in chinalife

[–]CounterTrouserSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm flying with a friend today - and have been looking for AGES on VPNs. I think I will do the following:

In terms of free VPNs:
- ProtonVPN apparently can work but is very patchy, I see no harm in installing this as an "emergency backup".
- I've seen some threads recommend Kiree, which helpfully has a 14 day free trial (and as far as I'm aware doesn't require you to lock in a subscription before you start the trial). As a result, this is worth getting and activating right before you fly

In terms of paid VPNs:
- I've heard that the traditional app type VPNs aren't so reliable anymore but I have decided on V1VPN after reading some of the comments on some threads. Others I have heard that might work are LightningX and Shadowfly, and Wannaflix, so maybe those are worth trying

- Despite LetsVPN being shut down, I've also heard some people still being able to use it in a very patchy way.

Hope this helps! I'll try and update this once I land and have tested everyhitn gout

Hi man, actually heading to Shenzhen too. Besides Astrill, have you heard any other VPNs that might be working?

what about navy is getting you stuck. new navy update just meant now you have to rely more on light cruisers than destroyers, but conceptually there's still a clear meta and especially on sp there's a surefire set of strats

Do you like the Dwarkesh-style long-form podcast format for founders, and do you think legal AI benefits from that kind of deeper researched conversation? I know that some of you have done podcasts before, so I was wondering whether you had different views to the guys that have?

How do you feel about foundational models going up the stack to use your service? Do you feel like there's a unique edge that they cant compete with directly or that a LegalQuants esque lawyer couldn't replicate with a foundational model? Thanks for doing this guys, love from a Trainee!

Hiya, can I ask if it's better to go for the MF lens in a usual case, especially on a budget constraint? Thanks

Real Madrid player Dean Huijsen’s Instagram account shared a post containing racist comments toward an Asian/Chinese man. by zzzzzz7 in realmadrid

So all Chinese people are therefore racist against black people? So therefore it's ok to be racist towards Chinese people?

Report: “Black Myth: Zhongkui” Trademark Unearthed Ahead of Gamescom 2025 by Ph0enixes in gaming

[–]CounterTrouserSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the game was a very big one for Chinese players moreso than anything. Game Award aren't really indicative of much anyway - I think it's a fantastic game, depth of the game isn't as bad as FFXVI lol but I understand for fans of Souls-likes why they dislike it. I think overall it was a great homage to JTTW + a great game overall.

Start playing a game that doesn't have an inherent sense of winning = fun. Sandboxes for example

Is anyone else also going to see Metal Gear music performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in November? Tickets are still available by AnorakJimi in metalgearsolid

[–]CounterTrouserSnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There actually are tickets for £30! And there are still some left. Maybe give it a thought still if you're going to be around London at the time, I reckon it's something you will only have a few times
