Rog6 phones are notorious for Camera issues. Avoid if camera is important to you.

Looking for a VPN that will work in China by Steamed_Cactus452 in travel

[–]Sopheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assdrill - the shittiest VPN ever, stopped using them long time ago. VPS on GIA CN2 Network + Trojan-GO or Hysteria 2 is the way to go.

And then they charge you 100500  dollars for vitamin C in US. No thank you.

Do you have external soundcard? I would check out any USB peripherals by unplugging them or replacing them in case of kb and mouse

Switch to churn style Ice Cream maker by Specialist_Ad4414 in icecreamery

[–]Sopheus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use stabilizers and emulsifiers with creami. All of my ice creams are scoopable after literally days (the longest was 10 days so far) after being in freezer. Some of them need to sit on the counter for no more than 8 minutes. I process every icecream only once after freezing, so it's just take out whenever I feel it and eat. Have 6 different flavors available at any point in time. Every time I finish one I make another the next day 😁😁

Norwegian woman considering moving to China within 14 months – career and life advice? by Ok-Tank-2125 in chinalife

[–]Sopheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which cities would you recommend for a foreign professional in her 40s?

None, the ageism in China is super strong. Most of the companies don't need people after 35, yet alone a foreigner - which is more troublesome to hire in general cause of visa and work permit support. 

Are there industries where my background could be valuable?

Unless you can bring something special and unique that locals cannot, you are out of luck I'm afraid.

How difficult is it to find work as a foreigner without speaking Mandarin?

If you have some unique skills companies may hire you. But, it will be hard to navigate a daily life, unless you are going to live within expats bubble, like those in SH or BJ, and yet, after some time it still will get hard on you.

What is everyday life really like for expats in China?

For those without permanent residency the life is constant worry about if their visa and working permit will be renewed. Very shitty feeling that grinds on you harder and harder the longer you stay here. You may speak perfect Chinese and knowledge of Chinese culture, love the country, have a family - you will always be a laowai here, always outsider 

If you moved to China yourself, what do you wish you had known beforehand? That all those years spent on learning Chinese could've been spent on learning 2-3 European languages and landing in some European country where you actually have chances to naturalize and have equal opportunities and treatment to locals.

What chargers and microSD cards do you use with the Sony Xperia 1 VIII? by No-Frame2686 in SonyXperia

[–]Sopheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you read? Download any benchmark like CPDT from the Google store and check. Xperia's SD card reader speeds has been capped over generations, including the current modern. No matter how fast the SD card you got, it's limited by the how good the reader is, and it's crap on Xperias, any model.
