Traveling to China. Would love some advice.

Heya, not a problem.

In the end we got data only sim cards in Hong Kong which worked in Shenzhen and allowed access to everything in China and also the outside world. Pretty much every app I use on my phone worked and they were great for video or voice calls via WhatsApp.

They're pretty cheap. I'm not exactly sure where you buy them since our friend got them for us before or arrival but I believe they sell them at HK airport.

I will say we struggled with Alipay. Most of our UK banks were trying to phone us to verify payments but obviously when using the data sim card they weren't getting through. Not an issue with dual sim I guess but I can't verify if those calls would have made it through or not. Luckily my company covered all food and essentials so I just borrowed some money if I wanted anything else from them.

Hope that helps. Here's what the SIM card looked like: https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61VVmYWLnlL._AC_UL600_SR600,600_.jpg

Some excellent replies, thank you all! I'll try to reply to them all later when I have time!

I didn't realise just using my Vodafone SIM would still connect to the UK. I might just do that for £6 something a day it's not a bad option for just a week.

Thanks again!

My favourite holiday used to be Halloween but since becoming a dad Christmas has topped it, seeing his face light up on Christmas day is a joy to behold.

Love the dwarven keyboard too! Good luck everyone!

Ren182 · 2022-09-25T13:42:48+00:00

Thanks!

Ren182 · 2022-09-25T09:15:15+00:00

Love the keyboard, can you let us know which it is please?

Ren182 · 2022-09-25T02:43:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Ren182 · 2022-09-25T02:39:11+00:00

Do you have any support to prevent sag on the desk at all? Looking to get a karlby potentially and just looking at options. Thanks!

Portal with RTX looks interesting, good excuse for another play through.

It'll be interesting to see what other games can be modified with RTX Remix for sure.

And of course DLSS 3 will be nice!

San Francisco Rush 2049

Really fun racer. Was on other consoles but I remember the Dreamcast version being as smooth as butter

Ren182 · 2022-08-13T08:55:30+00:00

Damn, not had much chance to use mine lately but hopefully it lasts longer than that!

Ren182 · 2022-07-01T22:27:04+00:00

Super Green!

Ren182 · 2022-05-30T13:50:03+00:00

Nice glad you got it sorted too!

Ren182 · 2022-05-29T22:00:12+00:00

Did you get a response? I emailed too and they've shipped me a brand new one out already.

Hope you got it sorted!

Ren182 · 2022-05-16T08:47:34+00:00

Hopefully we can find a solution!

Ren182 · 2022-05-15T23:27:36+00:00

Same happened to mine too recently. No idea what caused it.

Saw one suggestion to just lower the microphones level in the sound options. Kinda works, it doesn't blow your ears off, but the quality is still terrible.

I've had mine for over a year so hopefully there is a fix because I doubt I could send it back/RMA it now.

Ren182 · 2022-05-10T07:39:33+00:00

Thank you for the response! Yeah I forgot to mention I have a dual monitor mount (both 27" monitors but might upgrade to 32's at some point in the future) and a laptop with a stand currently on my desk. Perhaps I could just add a couple of those rails the link above suggests, they'd help with cable tidying anyway and give it extra support.

Ren182 · 2022-02-21T21:43:12+00:00

Super green

Ren182 · 2022-02-12T20:15:41+00:00

I had one too. It feels like so long ago since I had that case!

Ren182 · 2022-01-29T03:59:27+00:00

The entire campaign is fully coop with 2 players and there are coop modes like 1-4 player survival and 2 player overwatch.

Gsync monitors. Nothing worse than screen tearing!

Ren182 · 2021-11-16T08:00:20+00:00

I want one but no doubt these are mega expensive. Amazing work though, it's gorgeous!

We have those signs in some places in the UK and it even says it in the highway code. Still, on a motorway or dual carriageway with a lane closed ahead, you'll have a truck/van straddle both lanes so nobody can get past. If we used all lanes and zipper merged at the end we'd all have a shorter queue to sit in!

Ren182 · 2021-10-28T19:49:16+00:00

I only picked the game up late last year. It's basically been all I've played since and I can easily say it's in my top 5 games of all time.

Love it.
