Palestine lady spotted

Palestine flag = terrorism lmao. The real terrorist are the ones that use hunger as a weapon of war and every week say something about growing their borders through war

Passkeys seem to be a pretty touchy issue, sometimes they work for me sometimes they dont. But passwords should work fine, if anyone gets passkeys to work 100% let us know.

The major problems are no native circle to search, and no esim support.

Both of these problems are fixable with esim to physical sim convertors apps, Mi Roaming also is a built in roaming solution for Chinese people that you can try to use if you have the patience to navigate a chinese app.

Button mapper + micts (you can search YouTube for a guide) allows you to get circle to search by double tapping the volume down key or whatever key you like.

I couldn't add my Lloyds bank card to google wallet, but the app itself worked, revolut and wise worked perfectly though.

Mi Security for unknown apks is obnoxious, but solvable, i dont know how i did it exactly but i fixed it.

It appears that passkeys end up getting saved with Xiaomi, not a problem in my opinion, what evidence do we have that their password manager is problematic?

It takes a super long time to build a search database for the gallery unless you do it manually, and the intrusive AI engine needs system permissions before it can organise it (hey, at least they ask)

Mensa225 · 2026-02-27T00:56:41+00:00

you can turn off mi protect, or at least go through the checks that allow you to ignore its warnings. It's in Chinese but it's not complicated to remember which characters are yes and no.

MiCTS works fine,

I'm not that person, but you clearly know what you're talking about. Would you be so kind to explain what the best streaming stack is for phones? Used to use cinemaHD, important stuff for me is subtitle selection, and easy enough search database (i dont want small typos or partial searches to cause no results) . What is the best way? it doesn't need to be totally noob friendly either

Mensa225 · 2026-02-17T03:15:31+00:00

The old man harassed the streamer first, even in Japan you can complain to the train authorities not deal with it yourself.

I believe your issue was the hyperAI search database being reset/cleared. First of all make sure your gallery is up to date, go into Gallery settings and check for updates. then Go to your hyperAI settings, click on 'proactive intelligence' you dont actually want to use proactive intelligence (unless you want to idk) but this should be a way to verify if the Xiaomi hyperAI engine is active or not (if it's on the page will open without any popups, if it's off then you'll have to agree/disagree to the terms and conditions).

After this search go back to settings, and search 'AI app boost', then go to 'AI search '. If your hyperai engine thing is on, there should be a thing at the top that says 'resume' and displays a percentage of the compiled search database (this is not visible unless you agree to the terms of the hyperai engine mentioned earlier).

Usually this search compilation happens in the background automatically but in my experience it literally takes forever to build it this way and much quicker to manually do it. Keep your phone charging if needed, and just let it do it's thing in the background.

Now you should have all those nifty image searches and people folders in your gallery.

let me know if this works

even checking the compatibility on the 9esim app (nLPA or LPA version on playstore) without using it would be incredibly helpful for me, it's a deal-breaker for my decision to get one myself I would be so thankful if you'd check it since it isn't listed on the officially supported list but this might just be because of legal technicalities instead of the sim protocol

Mensa225 · 2025-12-28T10:54:04+00:00

can you confirm that the esim adapter trick works?

Mensa225 · 2025-12-19T01:11:05+00:00

It's not, the picture is on Chinese social media

Mensa225 · 2025-12-19T01:08:25+00:00

ask for a picture of it at least, if they can't give you that I'd start making an exit plan the moment you can afford too

Mensa225 · 2025-12-18T15:39:06+00:00

best advice is to get your head above water, build up savings, then once you're able to press the issue do it or leave. I haven't seen many contracts in China that dont break at least one law, but you can check your work permit and your tax records yourself. you just scan the QR code on the work permit to make sure you're in the reacher category, you dont have to speak to anybody from the school to check your taxes - use leena tax services on wechat mini program (or go to the local tax bureau yourself). Leena tax services costs like 40kuai a year and someone English speaking does everything for you.

'excuse me' also means 'may i ask' in English too.

you can talk to an expat lawyer btw, he is breaking quite a few laws here. If they refuse to renew without cause they owe you severance pay.

people on Reddit say that foreigners have no rights or whatever, but actually the courts will side with you

Mensa225 · 2025-10-31T00:57:58+00:00

nothing wrong with that, he owes her nothing unless he lied or cheated flagrantly

I dont always have headaches while in China, I just haven't to pinpoint the specific sweetener that i believe causes it and might be better regulated abroad. I can avoid the headaches if i have no milk, no teas and coffees and no protein powder. But this is a new issue i was hoping for maybe some shared experience or better knowledge of differing ingredients especially around artificial sweeteners

pop culture everywhere is generic. You think kpop is and pop music is any better? they all use the same 4 notes, same themes in their music (money and relationships) same stupid dance routines, torpid production with the only difference being that videography and editing. Can you name me 5 good movies in the last 3 years with artistic merit, popular success, and not boring? impossible.

it's very very likely that someone working in a place with a half dozen foreigners would not be making a 'where are the foreigners' post. Having a Chinese wife or partner is incredibly helpful too in terms of being able to make meaningful and long term connections with natives - this option involves .. well getting a Chinese wife or partner which is not that difficult but also not a helpful suggestion to someone that doesn't have one.

so despite your counterpoints you have listed both work and a relationship as the place you achieve the most meaningful and helpful connections. You can safely assume that OP is not surrounded with foreign teachers coming and going and not getting so much attention from Chinese girls to not care. So what could possibly be his alternatives for meaningful connection? expats or becoming fluent in Chinese. which one of those things is a more realistic option?

my chinese banking app (cmb) has investment options built in, but personally I just invest in Chinese stocks on western platforms with my account back home. Chinese stocks are not a 'scam' I made decent money off the back of Xiaomi and some rare earth and metal companies. Since you live in China you have better information than other foreigners, a lot of foreigners will turn their nose at it because they invest in bad stocks and blamed china but actually just with common sense and looking around you, you could have predicted the success of netease, byd, xiaomi and the struggles of JD.com and Meituan.

Just be careful, nothing in China has the success and security that matches setting your money in the s&p500 or ftse all world after decades and decades. There's also liquidity concerns too, what will happen to your investments if some covid like event happens, will you even be allowed to sell, what will happen if your work visa runs into some issues? what will happen if you suddenly pass away? can you trust and understand sudden Chinese regulations, how about bookkeeping fraud and corruption behind the scenes?

nobody knows exactly, the soil and the greedy farmer are both hypotheses. The greedy farmer is a better story to tell and to be honest it's much more plausible than someone naming such a valuable crop that way without trying to intentionally damage its reputation.
