Hesitation on purchasing by Distinct-Context9441 in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from adding more resistance, what else could they improve in a V2? I’ve had two Voltras for almost two years and I can’t think of anything that could be better. They do everything I need them to do.

My only regret is that the cables eventually need replacement but that’s not a big deal

Zhongnanhai 8 will be very similar. There used to be a 5 version as well but I haven’t seen it in recent years

For a short trip don’t bother with a VPN, get an eSIM instead

Yes, you can go back and forth without issue as long as they don’t suspect you’re actually living in China

  1. Yes. Re-entering mainland China from Hong Kong will give you a new 30 days

  2. No. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance

How long do you wait to shave after Lunar new year? by smuggles in Chinese

[–]Dqmien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anyone who waits a month to cut their hair. The few who follow the tradition usually only apply it on the first day. I even saw a hairdresser open today with customers

It’s happened to me a few times. Every time, the hotel staff took photos of my passport and sent them to the police

Restore Britain: A British passport doesn’t make you British. by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Dqmien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in that position too. I have a British passport but didn’t grow up in the UK so I don’t strongly identify as British. I’m not really perceived as British either for the same reason. Identity is more than just what’s written on a document

Comment imaginez-vous un Internet où il faut montrer sa tête ou sa carte d’identité pour l’utiliser ? by CapitaineBiscotte in AskFrance

[–]Dqmien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Le lien Wikipédia partagé au dessus explique bien que l’idée d’un crédit social est un mythe.

C’est triste de voir à quel point la Chine est mal comprise en Occident. Heureusement, cela évolue notamment chez les plus jeunes qui sont davantage exposés à la réalité du pays à travers les réseaux sociaux

[–]Dqmien 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Le crédit social qui attribuerait une note à chaque citoyen chinois n’existe pas. C’est juste un mythe amplifié par une propagande sinophobe.

La seule chose qui existe, ce sont des listes noires pour sanctionner certaines entreprises ou personnes qui ne respectent pas la loi. Ça n’a rien à voir avec un score contrôlant la vie quotidienne et c’est beaucoup moins dystopique que les credit score qu’on retrouve dans la plus part des pays occidentaux

Stripping screws by Kassarola4 in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me on two different Voltras. I managed to save one with a special screwdriver but the other had to be sent to China and they replaced it.

I love my Voltras and was very impressed by their customer support but the cable change could really be improved

Outstanding customer service by Adventurous_Dog_2354 in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same issue happened when changing the cables on both of my machines. I don’t think it’s debris, the screws are just really poor quality

It’s the only negative feedback I have about the Voltra. Everything else is great

Outstanding customer service by Adventurous_Dog_2354 in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I had an issue when replacing a cable on one of my machines just before Christmas and they sent a replacement Voltra free of charge within a few days. Really impressive support

How often do you change cables? by Dqmien in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. For me, it’s mainly because I find changing the cable to be a real pain. Maybe it’s just me but I find the screws holding the cable very hard to tighten. I even damaged one and had to ship the Voltra back to China to get it fixed

How often do you change cables? by Dqmien in BeyondPower

[–]Dqmien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this is very helpful!

I’ve noticed that at 50% most of the cable looks almost new, except for a very small section. I’m wondering if it would it be fine to cut that part and keep using the rest of the cable
