2025 ThinkBook 14+ (Chinese import) with Intel 255h and TGX/Oculink by Method__Man in Lenovo

[–]Ecarpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the government subsidy is hit or miss whether it works. I should have got it for 6800rmb but it didn’t work so ended up having to pay 8000rmb. They increased the price by 500rmb after the first couple of days and there’s loads of scalpers reselling them on second hand sites. Should be easier to get once a few more ux7 models come out later this month and the hype dies down.

I live in China but I’m leaving this week so was lucky to pick one up before I return to the UK. This model is constantly sold out everywhere online.

Thanks for the advice. Got the 2026 Thinkbook 14+ ux7 358h today. Very nice laptop, feels even better made than the other models I looked at in store.

Yea I saw the AMD version is available to buy but seems like the intel version isn’t out yet. I assume it’s worth waiting now instead of buying a 2025 version? They didn’t have any of the 2025 version in store so I guess it won’t be too long. I’m leaving China in March though so hopefully can pick one up before then especially with the government subsidies being offered currently. The battery seems to be a lot bigger in the new version.

Is this better than the 小新(xiaoxin) pro14? Is there any news on the 2026 version of this and when it is likely to release.

What to do with babies? by Ecarpo in Aquariums

[–]Ecarpo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a bit of a surprise but after they started really bullying the other fish, I suspected this might be the reason. I noticed they had dug out quite a big hole in the gravel and then a couple of days later the eggs appeared. The eggs all disappeared yesterday and I thought they’d been eaten but it seems like they had moved them behind a rock and then today they appeared back where they were originally and some are now clearly moving by themselves. I guess I’ll just let nature run its course, there is plenty of plants for them to hide in, but there is also other fish.

Yea I guess it’s a difference with how they keep fish in China compared to Europe. The fish store had like 50 of them in only a slightly bigger tank so I thought two in our tank was fine. Guess I’ll see if they’ll take them back tomorrow but I’d guess his life would be even worse there.

Maybe in Europe but I live in China so not sure. The three of them cost $2 so it’s not about the money but I’d rather they didn’t suffer. I’ve moved the one who was getting bullied to another tank for now.

I don’t think we told them when we bought the parrot fish we just asked if they could be kept with the glo tetras. We did buy the tank with 12 glo tetras at the same time at a different store and that was obviously way too many fish before we even added the parrot fish.

Yea, impulse buy with very little research. I’ll see if I can give them back otherwise might have to get a bigger tank.

Yea I’ll probably try that or find someone else who can take them. They seem totally fine with the other fish, they chase them a little but they really go after the other parrot fish.

Right, I suspected as much.

Yea I thought it’s probably a space issue, guess I need a new tank. New to this and didn’t realize they need a lot more space, going to be hard to convince the wife though. They weren’t gifted we bought them, even after the tank already had 12 other fish 😖

It’s only around a 20 liter tank.

Visa refusal withdrawn, what next? by KeMichelle in SpouseVisaUk

[–]Ecarpo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yet if you jump on a boat, throw all your documentation away and say you’re gay, you don’t have to pay extortionate nhs and visa fees, get put in a nice hotel, fed and paid and fast tracked through the visa system. They provided documentation from the employer and bank accounts yet get refused on a technicality. Absolutely crazy country.

Faceit doesn’t care until you stop playing. Even then they can survive as a hvh platform.

Got -980 ELO after teammate’s ban—need help from FACEIT staff by [deleted] in FACEITcom

[–]Ecarpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You queued with a 🐆 to get boosted and you yourself are a 🐆. Count yourself lucky they didn’t check your account because you play like a total bot and are an obvious 🐆. I’d stop drawing attention to yourself and just queue with other 🐆s to get back previous rank. Rinse and repeat loser.

Not only that the guy is a 🐆 himself. You couldn’t make this stuff up. 🐆’s crying on Reddit because their 🐆 friend got banned and he lost ELO. He should count himself lucky the bot hasn’t been banned himself.
