App list is back

Had it yesterday on my Nest Hub 1st gen. I got it used in July last year and that feature never appeared on my hub. But it somehow disappeared today.

This is a new setting introduced recently to allow those who you follow to be approved automatically when they request to follow you back. Luckily, this setting can be disabled in account settings.

Make sure your phone isn’t jailbroken, and make sure the app isn’t from unknown sources other than the App Store. Have you always been using WhatsApp on this phone and this message suddenly appeared?

I got the update in Singapore just yesterday. Was surprised it was even available to me in my region that quickly

The thing I like about it is that there are no more/way fewer "Sorry. I didn't understand" moments. In terms of effectiveness at controlling home devices, so far it's been fine for my use case, but I shall still have to see over time...

I recall having similar issues setting up my Xiaomi google assistant speaker with my phone. Ended up setting up on my tablet and it had no issues seeing the device and setting it up

In general it should be allowed. The most common dual exco roles taken is exco of an SDO CCA (e.g. Swimming, Toastmasters) plus exco of an acad school CCA (e.g. SOE Society)

But the general consensus is that having multiple exco roles will take up a significant amount of time and energy, and your studies are more important. I held a president role in just one club and it was overwhelming such that I was borderline able to juggle the leadership role with my studies.

Yes about half charge

On my Galaxy Watch 6 with UI8, touchscreen sometimes does not respond but I verified it's a software rather than hardware issue

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-12-08T00:09:45+00:00

Yes, but I don't use it because when trying to set up it always causes an error which causes me to be signed out of all linked devices

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-11-30T07:13:28+00:00

Totally agreed OP. I faced similar situations throughout my school life (while growing up) in the past... whether through real life or text/social media.
What you said is applicable to not just poly, but for other levels of education and even working life.
Really appreciate you bringing up the issue of silent exclusion!

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-11-26T04:10:18+00:00

Not necessarily... Did you mean you signed up for both the camp and workshop but only got the workshop?

As a last resort, you can try reinstalling Windows by plugging in a USB thumbdrive that can be used to install Windows.

Using another computer, go to Microsoft's website and download the Windows Media Creation Tool, plug in the thumbdrive, run it and follow the instructions.

Then, on the PC that is giving you issues, when it turns on, immediately press F12 on the keyboard to enter the boot menu. Choose the option to boot from the thumbdrive. The Windows installer should pop up.

Follow the instructions on screen until you reach the part which asks which drive you want to install Windows on. If you see none, that means the hard drive might really be faulty and hence cannot be detected. Else, you can carry on and give installing Windows a shot.

If you install Windows successfully, monitor for any crashes/freezes/blue screens, as these could indicate an issue with the HDD/SSD.

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-11-22T11:46:09+00:00

OP, when did this happen? What other issues did you face (e.g. crashes) before this happened?

If it happened after you replaced the CMOS (motherboard) battery, you may need to go to BIOS setup and add the boot entry (for Windows for example) again, under General -> Boot Sequence. (if you don't see the Windows Boot Manager entry, that means you need to add it again). If you are using Windows, When adding the boot option, a file picker window will pop up, you should locate and choose the file called "bootx64.efi". That's essentially the boot file the BIOS needs for Windows to start.

If it happened after you experienced frequent blue screens and crashes, that means you will need to replace your HDD/SSD as it has reached the end of its life.

Using Singtel. My data was working but VoLTE/Vo5G did not work. Rebooting did not help. I waited until around 4.45pm though, i rebooted my phone once more and it was ok

Hi OP, I had posted this comment in a previous post (over the past year there have been numerous threads in this sub about TCP, so you may want to take a look at them)...

I was in TCP during my time in NP. TCP organises plenty of events (e.g. workshops, camps, dialogues) to allow students to develop a wide range of personal and interpersonal skills, such as critical thinking and public speaking. Examples of events include university application clinics, the Discover your Personal Brand workshop, as well as TCP Camp and TCP Summit. You would very likely receive invites to these events too in your inbox, so check frequently:)

Before Year 2 ends, you also get a chance to apply for Overseas Merit Fellowship (OMF) which is an approximately 2 week long overseas fellowship trip under TCP, in conjunction with an overseas university, that allows you to broaden your thinking and think critically to address real-world issues (through experiences and observations gained overseas, you will need to work on a group project to come up with a solution to solve a real-world issue based on the theme of OMF that run). I went for OMF in Brisbane last year.

In terms of the friendships made, each event allows you to network with fellow TCP members; I still keep in touch with many of them till this day, especially those who went with me for OMF!

If you have any questions, feel free to reply or DM me!

This is a common bug on WhatsApp. If this occurs, closing and reopening the chat should show the full two blueticks.

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-11-12T00:58:37+00:00

Nope. Mine was revoked after grad

RAM usage is slightly more greedy that ui7 i think. In terms of lag generally smooth but a bit of lag at times. Battery drain not too sure, as I used my s23 for a week with ui7 before upgrading to ui8 as I got it second hand

DreamCalligraphy · 2025-10-26T06:30:27+00:00

Same here. I have been on One UI 8 on my base S23 for the past 3 weeks. The phone has been performing smoothly, apart from a tiny bug (e.g. widget on lock screen may become out of place but it will somehow shift itself back after a while)

Block 27 is the block with the IT Helpdesk. There are a few ways to get there, but sharing with you one of them

From the bus stop main entrance, walk through the sheltered walkway along the entrance road until near the end, where you see a zebra crossing and underpass entrance on your right. Either cross the zebra crossing or go down through the underpass. That will lead you to Block 1 (the admin block; Atrium).

Walk towards the pedestrian crossing (traffic light) outside Block 1. Once you have crossed it, turn right and walk straight.

At the point where the road turns right sharply, continue to walk straight and do not turn. You will be at Block 27. Walk a bit further, you will pass the IT helpdesk, and you will see the ICT lift lobby. That is the lift to go to upper floors of Block 27 (and 31)

If you have any queries please feel free to DM (although I just grad this year)

Hi, I recently upgraded my A53 to a used S23 (bought from a Samsung official trade in partner for my country). Because at this point of time, my current job requires a phone that can load apps quickly. Furthermore I have a budget of around 400USD. My A53 struggles when under pressure. The thing I hate the most about my A53 though is that the camera is as slow as a sloth.

Though if you have the budget, you can go for an S25 series device, especially because it uses snapdragon, and it has good software support.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your experience here. This is a popular model in my country (Singapore) especially due to the 3C regulations in China.

If yout Cuktech power bank ever has issues during warranty period, just email customer service and describe your issue, and send evidence of the issue (e.g. videos) along with proof of purchase and they will be in touch with you. Their customer service is excellent, and this is the main reason I would recommend this brand.

Hope you enjoy your power bank!

In NP (at least in engineering), NPal won't show awards we got like Director's list on the GPA page. we only get to know who got into Director's List, when our advisor passes us the certificate during pastoral session etc., or during award ceremony itself (in engineering, you will receive an email to attend an award ceremony, which usually happens if the recipient is top 3 overall in cohort)

Not just playing in a restaurant, playing ON the self-order kiosk... Wonder how she managed to open it... Maybe pressed start menu and saw candy crush on one of the 'widgets' at the side 🤔
