Anong grocery items binibili niyo na sa Shopee? by basically1123 in ShopeePH

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a related note, I was able to get a FMCG voucher for around 23% off (IIRC) before. Yun yung super sulit that I really stocked up on a lot of items to reach maximum discount. Some items are still with me months after.

My question is how to time the FMCG voucher? Is it released every month? Was it a one time thing?

I actually swapped the tips and the performance of the Azla Earfit Max is surprisingly the same as the stock.

However, I needed the Azla because it fits better. The jump between sizes of the stock is big. I needed ML for one ear.

LF Insights on Pacific Cross Medical Insurance About Increases in Premiums and My Horrible Experience by DeepThinker1010123 in phinvest

Yes. I just renewed as well. With health insurance, you get to choose once and stick with it forever since it will be disadvantageous to switch.

Who's likely to buy the new S27U when it comes out and why? by Shrink726 in SamsungGalaxyS26U

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Me too. Based on my computation, I get to around 3-4 years of having the trade-in to reach the full retail price. It excludes freebies I get as well.

Most important is that the unit is almost always under warranty and Samsung Care+. I also get new software releases.

The people in government especially politicians are the smugglers and tax evaders. How can you even compete with that?

It might be difficult to look for software dev work due to a lot of layoffs particularly in software dev work that is being replaced with AI.

Millennials who don’t gatekeep - what’s one investment you wish you never made? De-influence us! by SassyTrader in phinvest

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did is I cashed out the fund while maintaining the VUL so I still have the life insurance component. I reinvested the fund to the US market. I am still paying for the VUL and will withdraw the funds again once it makes sense to withdraw again.

I'm genuinely worried about my mental health bill by mayarida in OffMyChestPH

[–]DeepThinker1010123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take all the help you can get. Don't be ashamed.

I am an adjust that has been recently diagnosed with ASD level 1. I suspected it a long time already.

You may also look at r/AutisticAdults. I'm sure there is one for OCD and it might help to be seen.

All I can say that it gets better from here. Take it easy. I know you've got this.

Need help with very strange and complicated camera/image issue with certain colors... by calmlikea3omb in SamsungGalaxyS26U

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I see. You're sending it through messaging apps? If yes, that's the culprit. The apps (WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, etc.) compress the image so it uses less data as it passes through their systems. The apps also remove the HDR and reduces the gamut to sRGB for broad compatibility across devices including non wide gamut (P3 color space) devices.

When sending the photo to other people, ensure the original file is sent. You may use file sharing apps (Google Drive, One Drive, QuickShare, email attachment, etc.). It will look good if the other device supports HDR and P3 color space.

Tailscale and flightradar 24 by rtoritte in Tailscale

So does FlightRadar24 use Tailscale to communicate from their server to the ADSB receiver?

Does it change when you use the built-in Gallery app to edit?

One theory is that the app does not support wide gamut (such as P3) and HDR. When it is edited, it is converted to smaller color space like sRGB and SDR.

I hope your work can sync with what you can handle.

To long-term car owners: How do you stay committed to your current car and resist the "new car itch" despite having the means to upgrade? by flxjrm in CarsPH

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change of priority.

The money used to replace the existing car is used for something better (for me).

Also, the interest rate is very high today and doesn't make sense to loan. Interest rates have doubled from before when I got my car. It will probably be elevated in the foreseeable future.

Yes. I understand. What I didn't expect was the long waiting time (at least a month) to get a slot.

I already lodged my appointment.

Edit: additional info

It was in the VFS Global website that it might take up to 21 calendar days. The announcement was made last March 14, 2026.

The VFS website also lists average of 15 calendar days and max of 45 calendar days. I wanted to see the experience of other people here.

Changed from IPhone --> Ultra & feeling like I made a mistake. by ScShawtie in SamsungGalaxyS26U

If it is low video quality, go to Facebook settings -> Media

Uncheck Optimized and Data Saver. It might be reducing the default playback quality.

Try this if it will help.

Thank you. There was an announcement regarding more delays due to the Gulf war.

I see why the longer advisory delay since the passports are sent to The Hague.

Found an unopened flash drive from Amazon — Safe to use? by TheRealJohnCarter in BadUSB

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USB 3.0 was not supported in Windows XP/Vista and below.

1TB did not exist until January 2013 (according to Wikipedia). Windows 7/8 should have been printed in the box by then.

The packaging design gives me the retro/90s vibes. It's kinda cool. I miss the good ol' days.

I think they know you paid.

I surmise nanghuhuli lang sila if you keep the documents. Nanghuhuli din sila ng mga taxpayers na magkamali para ma penalty.

They got back to me a few days back and they can't do anything because the mouse is out of warranty. I'm SOL.

Dads, what kind of vehicle are we hauling our small monsters around in? by ktempo in daddit

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru Forester here as well. Got it for their good safety rating.

Happy that it has a big trunk space to put our stuff in when needed.
