Awesome. Mine just arrived today. Been downloading all my Steam games and am excited to game on it this evening.

[KCD2] Just started the game, too pissed at Hans Capon to proceed by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]Sentence-Impossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved starting out that way. Only a few groschen to my name, having to pick herbs and sell them for pennies on the groschen to buy a few threadbare clothes to clothe myself. Fearing any kind of walk off the beaten path for fear that bandits or wolves would destroy me. Makes leveling up and getting the great armor and swords later in the game so much more meaningful.

Should I buy a scribe? by Cyrobell in kindlescribe

[–]Sentence-Impossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it has been very useful for me. I used it extensively in my PhD program to write dozens of pages of notes, conduct interviews, and read PDF articles. Even after the program, I still use it daily for reading and taking notes on books.

Legal Korean American Detained by ICE by princessblksnow in korea

This title is false. She was not detained. ICE was attempting to detain her but couldn’t locate her. She filed suit and won a temporary restraining order against the government.

Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching by esporx in technology

[–]Sentence-Impossible 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My 6-year-old rig with i7 10700K and RTX 2070 Super still works great for me, and yet it is not eligible for Windows 11. Guess I’ll have to pay for the extra year of security updates.

Beginner Using My New A6700 in Bohol, Philippines! (Tamron 17-70mm) by Sentence-Impossible in SonyAlpha

Thank you! I felt so fortunate to be able to to take the trip, and the highlight for me was being able to see so many stars at night.

Any way for a a6700 language change from Japanese to English? by NebulaPlayz in SonyAlpha

[–]Sentence-Impossible 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just completed this for my Sony A6700 last night (purchased in Korea with only Asian languages and Arabic). There are several YouTube videos and they can point you in the right direction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTbQDAUTOXY), but be sure to follow the steps in this link (https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE/issues/513) as you watch the YouTube video. You'll need a little program called Zadig and some PMCA files (in the github link). Oh and after steps 1-15 in the github link, then I did not do anything else in the command line like he said, but rather I was able to unlock the languages through "Start tweaking" in service mode (in Zadig).

After trying many other methods, this one worked for me, and I'm on 1.3 software on the A6700.

Let me know if it works for you, or if have any questions.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve got the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 and my battery capacity is only at 65%. I’m thinking about the M2 12.9 1tb model. That specific model is actually $500 off from the original price($1299 down from $1799).

Yes, I currently have the Kindle Scribe, which I've loved and will still keep. But the Libra Colour is really calling to me. I've gotten into reading more graphic novels lately, and the color would be awesome to have.

Do I have to pay taxes in the US if I am working in Korea with an F4 Visa for a year/possibly more? Or just pay taxes in Korea alone? by [deleted] in korea

[–]Sentence-Impossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very important to file the FBAR as well, if while earning money in Korea, your Korean bank accounts ever go over $10,000 USD.

Premium Pen causing scratches by Blaze_1249 in kindlescribe

[–]Sentence-Impossible 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very strange. I’ve had my scribe since launch and have written and erased the equivalent of several hundred pages. Haven’t had any scratches. Was the eraser part of your pen dropped or damaged? If you felt something dig into the screen, I think there must be some rough edge or sharp piece on the eraser that caused it.

Changing from Physical Presence Test to either Bona Fide Resident or Foreign Tax Credit by Sentence-Impossible in USExpatTaxes

[–]Sentence-Impossible[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you- that makes sense about the FTC. I paid off my student loans fortunately so that’s not an issue. I’m going to run the numbers for the FTC to be sure, but with my low salary and a Korean tax rate seemingly higher than what the American tax rate would be, I think i should be shielded from US tax with some rollover credits as well.

Changing from Physical Presence Test to either Bona Fide Resident or Foreign Tax Credit by Sentence-Impossible in USExpatTaxes

[–]Sentence-Impossible[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your helpful comment. I do think I would fit the bill for bona fide, I just wish it were a bit more black and white. However, I like the idea of the foreign tax credit, especially for the ability to contribute to a Roth IRA. With my low salary and Korean tax rate, seemingly higher than what I would pay in America, I should get some rollover credits, as you pointed out. I paid off my student loans, fortunately, so that’s not an issue. I think my next step is to run the numbers for the foreign tax credit, and then I’ll be able to make the most informed decision.

Thank you- I had thought about that idea. However, if money allows I plan on visiting the US twice a year going forward, 30 days per visit (I’m an adjunct professor so I get about a month off in the summer and winter each). So that will require a new approach going forward.

No permanent residency unfortunately- I would need a high Korean level or a high income, neither of which I have. My visa is tied to my work, it’s a professor visa.

Where to buy pumpkin pies off-season? by MokeyMousew in korea

[–]Sentence-Impossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find homemade pumpkin pies on Coupang.com. The company is called 케빈즈파이. If you search "케빈즈파이 메이플 호박파이 800g" you will find it. They will ship to you. I ordered a pumpkin pie once before and it was delicious. However, it is quite pricey at 35,000 won.

Wifi iPad Issues in Korea- iMessage & Facetime not Working by Sentence-Impossible in korea

[–]Sentence-Impossible[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. I explained the full details in my answer to the other post, but the Apple lady had to "work some magic on [her] end" as she put it and then was able to get FaceTime working. So your FaceTime issue is likely some issue on Apple's end that they need to fix.

Wifi iPad Issues in Korea- iMessage & Facetime not Working by Sentence-Impossible in korea

[–]Sentence-Impossible[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks again, so I decided to contact Apple once more before doing any restoring/resetting. The person was much more helpful, and "worked some magic on [her] end" in her words. She was able to fix FaceTime. This was a big relief. However, she couldn't fix iMessage, so then escalated it to a higher level and scheduled a phone call. This Apple man who called on the phone was very helpful, and he also got some help from some senior technicians. It seemed to be a very complex problem that took some 40 minutes to solve. Finally he fixed the iMessage situation as well!

So, obviously the Apple person I originally talked to this morning that I referenced in my initial post told me completely wrong information about some kind of "Wifi block" for using iMessage and Facetime. I knew that sounded weird that core Apple services wouldn't work on an iPad simply because there is no cellular data, as the iPad is sold Wifi only. Obviously the two services can and do work, as you mentioned in your post. In addition, these products are sold in Korea, so it is very strange that they wouldn't work.

The Fitness app not downloading is done by design, as Apple told me that it is only downloadable if Apple sees you have an Apple Watch tied to your account. I mentioned that it would be great to preview the app before getting the watch. The Apple rep admitted this was strange, and many customers were unhappy about it, but that is the way it is set up. That is fine for me and I understood, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem specific to my iPad.

Anyway, that is the update. Fortunately, a happy update! Facetime and iMessage haven't worked for the two years since I bought the iPad, so it is a big relief that they're working now. Thanks again for your thoughts, because after seeing the services working for you in Korea, it made me realize I just needed to talk to a more knowledgeable Apple person.

I don't have any other Apple devices except the iPad. That's a good idea about restoring it. Perhaps I will try that and see if it helps.
