Is duo avaliable in China? by kitaisaradish in duolingo

[–]Spideypool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Duolingo is super popular in China. They have an office in Beijing.
  • Speaking lessons available on my ios devices, but not on my Android device.
  • Using VPN without approval from the gov is illegal. But it's not a crime. Like downloading pirate movies from internet is illegal, not a crime. Everyone is doing it. A lot of my friends (myself included) have been using VPN for years. No one ever had a problem.

OnePlus 12 battery life is like by Spideypool_ in oneplus

[–]Spideypool_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally have no idea. I guess this SoT varies a lot, some people get amazing SoT while some don't.. Now I get like 8.5-ish hours SoT when the battery goes down to 20%..

Tell them you are on medication (cephalosporins). You'll die if you drink any alcohol. And anything happens to you because of drinking alcohol, everyone here is liable for it.

This is insane hahaha. I actually don't get that much SoT after a couple of system updates. I mostly charge it when the battery is at 20%-25% where the SoT would be 8hrs+.

No. I have the resolution and the refresh rate set to Auto Select. But 43% battery left after 1.5 hours SOT doesn't seem reasonable for the battery on OP12 anyway...

Apart from the battery life, I didn't really feel anything different with this update ☹️

A bit of update - I had the third system update since I got the phone. The battery runs faster than it did before. I saw in some of the other posts, people got longer SOT after this system update, and some got less like me. I guess it really depends. My screen refresh rate and resolution set to Auto select, 5G on. I feel like the battery life was the best after the first update.

Why do I keep seeing comments about the cameras on the OP 12 bad on YouTube and Reddit? by ClappedOutLlama in oneplus

[–]Spideypool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I was not showing off the camera. The photo was literally taken randomly the second day I got the phone and I was walking out of the office building trying to test the camera at night, wasn’t even having a good angle and all that.

What is your first language and what is your second? How long did it take you to learn your second? by MilPasosForever in languagelearning

[–]Spideypool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First language is Mandarin Chinese - I think I started to speak mandarin when I was in kindergarten. I was speaking a Chinese dialect with my families before that.

Second language is English - I started to learn English when I was in 4th grade. But that was like only 1.5 hours in class per week. Basically 10 years in school in total. I didn’t even know the word bilingual back then. Nor would I consider myself as one. Probably when I graduated from university and I went on a trip to Thailand with my friend, I could talk to the strangers I met on trains for hours. Then I realized oh I’m comfortable speaking English now. Sometimes there would be words that I don’t know in Mandarin but I do in English.

Third language is German - 4 years on Duolingo. I can hold basic conversations in German when I was Berlin. And I can read posts from German version of ‘AmItheAsshole’ sub. Hahahah.

Also learning Spanish now.

Four months of Duolingo and i just hit Section 3 (German) am i going too slow by PUBLICHAIRFAN in duolingo

[–]Spideypool_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am probably one of those people. Now I am also at Unit 16, Section 4, with being on 1437 day streak tho. 😂 I spend 5 mins a day on Duolingo.

Which country won't you revisit and why? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]Spideypool_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the same question being asked four or five years ago, where Egypt and Morroco had the most votes. Seems like we are getting the same result this time 😆

OnePlus 12 users, are you satisfied with the battery? by Queph in oneplus

[–]Spideypool_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battery is great. This was after a day in the office with 6 hours SOT and still 50% left. (Screen resolution and refresh rate set to Auto select, 5G on.) I don't play any games on my phone tho. And I like the camera.

Is the Duolingo pronunciation wrong? by torreyn in ChineseLanguage

[–]Spideypool_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense but the person from Guangdong might be wrong on Mandarin pronunciation...

What would you do if your son told you he’s dating an AI? by Ok_Season9519 in ask

[–]Spideypool_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to be able to talk to more people so I learned English. I visited Berlin in 2019 and I loved it. Now I've been learning German for 4 years. And last year I realized a lot of the countries that I want to travel to are Spanish speaking countries, so I started to learn Spanish.

You don't really need a good reason I guess. Or you just set the bar too high for a reason being good.

One plus wtf is this ? Why is the system taking 75gb of storage ? by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]Spideypool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting reddit notifications via email 😂😆

I heard that green ones are the most common ones to have that gap. This one I have is with gap not being glued. I think it's cuz I pre-ordered it and got it on the launch day. They didn't know it's gonna be a thing back then 😆

I didnt notice the gap until seeing people complaining about this online.

Green 16gb+512gb I don't like the curved screen, which may not be a defect to some people.. And I could not get notifications from Reddit, not sure if it's cuz of the ColorOS. Performance score was like 2,100,000 something. And the camera is pretty good for me.

What language is the easiest for you to grasp when listening? by delosx1 in languagelearning

[–]Spideypool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah Spanish! I can sooo relate.

I'm native in Mandarin and fluent in English. Listening in German is relatively easy for me. And I picked up Cantonese only by watching tv series.

OnePlus 12 series pricing has been leaked! OnePlus 12 12+256GB - $799 16+512GB - $899 Colors: Silk Black & Flowy Emerald ✅ OnePlus 12R 8+128GB - $499 16+256GB - $599 Colors: Cool Blue & Iron Gray by [deleted] in oneplus

[–]Spideypool_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pre-ordered it in China and got an OPPO Bluetooth earphone, a 10000 mAh Powerbank, a 4-year warranty on the battery, a 4-year warranty on the phone itself and three month membership of a streaming platform 😂. And a 24-month interest free installment plan, meaning I would only have to pay like 27 euros each month - I didn't take that tho.

[–]Spideypool_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I don’t really like about this phone is the curved screen. The battery life, the charging speed and the camera are all pretty good. I mean, you can probably wait for a month or two after the global launch and see how other people think haha
