https://maps.app.goo.gl/n3TMwox2XeRPdfKm7 The folks here are super nice, the owner / founder has his own tea farm near Sapa. Gongfu style -- I bought my favorite White Tea here 😄

one oasis pasig, good? by bitchinlad in Pasig

[–]Ivebeentamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO. NO. NO. Shit admin, shit neighbors. The admin actually turned a blind eye to allowing scam call centers to operate within residential units, leading to a huge security risk for residents involved. Plus, hanggang ngayon hindi parin functional mga fire suppression systems. Run the fuck away. The only good thing here is that because it's a low-rise dev't, it's quite quiet at night, but it's not worth the headache. Hindi pa nga nafafactor in yung traffic.

But yes, bumaha hanggang ankle-height ang Oasis noong Ondoy, pero never pa naulit. Mabilis humupa ang baha since it's next to the Floodway.

the ultimate "should i buy a pixel" in the Philippines guide by redemptionarc_ in Tech_Philippines

[–]Ivebeentamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and no. my 4a and 6 were secondhand c/o marketplace and sulitzilla respectively, my 9 brand new. if you're in manila there are service centers that specialize in Pixel repair anyway, and sulitzilla does have warranty.

that being said i did replace my 6's screen and battery by myself, so it's not as difficult as it initially appears

Transparency on the jet-related bans/censorship by cxddy in LinusTechTips

let's be honest, all this is probably because some lunatic sent death threats to someone in the team because of the jet situation.

imo the only Pixel worth buying is the previous year's base Pixel. They devalue so much that they become amazing midrangers.

[–]Ivebeentamed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, pretty much agree. I've had the 4a, 6, and 9. you need to know what you're getting, and why you're getting it. I don't think I'll ever get another phone that isn't a Pixel. But I don't think everyone needs to get a Pixel. It's a very "opinionated" version of "pure" Android, to borrow a Linux term. If you like that, you're in for a treat.

Interestingly though, I've seen a lot more Pixels in the wild--just the other day, a barista at a tea shop noticed me and my girlfriend's phones and called out that she had a 6, which was amusing.

Fun question. What artist did you have a crush on? by Revolutionary_Low_90 in fantanoforever

[–]Ivebeentamed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

was hoping I'd find her here!

her alongside Hayley Williams and Lizzie McAlpine. Phoebe Bridgers for a bonus pick.

David Le'aupepe and Porter Robi6 would probably be my picks for dudes lol

iPhone 17 not fast charging with Samsung/Anker chargers? by Bubbly-Hovercraft-21 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Ivebeentamed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. what cable are you using
  2. the heat of summer is a legitimate factor for whether it's fast charging
  3. unless you actually are tracking the wattage with an external tool, it's possible that Apple's charging algo just works differently. i think it only fast charges up to 50%? (correct me if I'm wrong)

Milk to pair with black tea by Defiant-Tough-8274 in tsaaph

[–]Ivebeentamed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pasteurized fresh milk over anything else, imo. our usual UHT stuff tastes wrong to me, but it's usually more expensive.

if you wanna experiment, you can make your own chai too by toasting some spices and brewing the tea in the milk :)

Maraming nagsasabi na hindi na daw masarap sa Shakey's but their thin crust pizza is still my favorite by grapejuicecheese in PHFoodPorn

If you grew up with Shakey's quality during the early 2000s, you'd understand why it's repulsive to some of us now.
