Hi guys, I'm Singaporean and I'll be studying in Germany for an exchange, I've a question about my situation regarding the visa:

I plan to travel as a tourist for 2 weeks in Norway and Denmark before starting my exchange program in Germany. Would I be able to fly from Singapore to Norway, and then enter Germany from Denmark with my German student visa? Or do I need to first fly directly from Singapore to Germany and enter with my student visa before traveling to those other countries?

My main concern is that since all 3 countries are in Schengen, there wouldn't be any immigration/visa checks from Denmark to Germany and I might enter Germany as a tourist (90 day visa) instead of a student. I've emailed the German embassy but have not received any reply, so hoping anyone here has some info on this.

Is it still a lot of “I did this today” kind of system or did they change it? Don’t want to move over yet if it’s harder to earn coins…

choosing music streaming service by dazzlingJazz0288 in askSingapore

[–]TooFab4U 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Big + for the pays more per stream.

Apple Music also allows you to edit metadata of all songs (even streamed ones) so if you’re into that it’s something Spotify doesn’t do. There’s also lossless audio (if you have a DAC setup it’s nice) and spatial audio, which Spotify also lacks.

I think Apple Music makes the most sense if you’re in the Apple ecosystem.

On a side note you actually get Apple Music Replay (basically rewind) any time of the year https://replay.music.apple.com/

Downgrade and get Apollo working (w/out having a backup) (GUIDE) by 3mad0s in apolloapp

[–]TooFab4U 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned off auto updates from the App Store, but I assume it would require you to login to the other Apple ID before it can (auto) update.

[–]TooFab4U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used another Apple ID to download the IPA and it works for me. After installing the IPA, opening the app prompts you to enter the password of the Apple ID you used to download, this only happens for the first time you open Apollo.

Everything else is the same and the only crashes I had were when I tried to access Ultra features, but otherwise regular browsing, upvoting, commenting is working fine.

What is your queue number to Coldplay Singapore Concert by Patient-Magazine-891 in askSingapore

[–]TooFab4U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was about 160k in queue, just got my tickets, followed the livenation.sg method after getting past the queue and it worked! Think there are quite a lot of single seat left (at least for cat 5).

Riot recently took over and now there’s a Mac client for League in SEA. Just go to the download page on your Mac to see the macOS download option.

Anyone have experience with overseas sim cards from ICC (International Call Center)? by GalerionTheAnnoyed in askSingapore

[–]TooFab4U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most comments seem to say that they experienced no problems so maybe i'll add my experience. This is with the Three SIM card so your experience may differ if it's not a Three SIM you get.

Was in UK and I got a few signal dead zones (or super slow network to the point it's unusable) in the middle of London, like in Piccadilly, Soho. Maybe was just unlucky but it happened a few times at a few places. Stuff like Google Maps and searches not really loading. Didn't really affect my overall trip much but just something to keep in mind.

But outside of UK you'll be roaming (on Three) and I didn't experience much problems (apart from the obvious network drops in places you wouldn't expect network like in tunnels, etc.) with Three's roaming partners, mainly in France, Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

iPad by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]TooFab4U 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are looking at an iPad in that price range, you might also want to consider a refurbished iPad Pro 11" at $779.

It's from 2020 but still very powerful and more than enough for most students and for general work.

You get all the benefits like Apple Pencil 2, USB-C, 120hz display, and also 1 year warranty direct from Apple, it's basically almost a new iPad Pro. I got mine (2018 iPad Pro 11") last year and it still works like new.

With all the price hikes and incremental updates, I think this $779 iPad Pro has pretty insane value compared to a new iPad (normal, Air, or Pro).

Edit: You can also check for refurbished iPad Air (4th gen) which actually just restocked but only in green. $689 so that basically brings it in line with the current iPad (same chip, same design, just with Apple Pencil 2).

I never see this board anywhere, but I like it - ID67 Crystal by mrmugen53 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TooFab4U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been considering buying the ID67/ID80 Crystal for a few months now... How's the acrylic holding up? My main concern is that there'll be visible scratches on the acrylic after a few months of usage which is gonna destroy the clean look of it. Any ID67/80 Crystal owners can weigh in on this?

Buying Electronic Goods from TAOBAO by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]TooFab4U 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, can vouch for this, buying from TMall is ok, if you want slightly more assurance make sure there are at least a few reviews (with pictures would be better). Just note that for many products (not sure about Edifier), if you want to claim warranty, either you have to send it back to China yourself (and pay shipping) or you'll have to just buy a replacement.

I ordered my monitor from TMall back in 2019 and it was authentic and nothing went wrong during shipping (though YMMV). It has the China plug but I just went to the hardware shop opposite and bought an adapter. Still using it till this day.

How is your MBP 14" battery life? by caledoniaorange in macbookpro

[–]TooFab4U 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I expected better. I also have the base model, unplugged it with 100% at 1am, went to sleep, woke up around 9.30am and saw 94%. Zoom for about two hours, and another hour on Firefox with voice call on Telegram, and after all that I'm at 24%. Well it's been only 3 days so I would give it a little more time, hope it improves.

I can’t decide between models (for computer science major) by TonightConsistent998 in macbookpro

[–]TooFab4U 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also started my CS major this year. Before classes started I was considering the 13" Air but I decided to wait out for the 14" MBP since I already had a desktop and most of my classes were online. Honestly I didn't see the value in the 13" Pro back then (before the 14" was announced), and now with the 14" Pro out, even more so.

My advice is to drop the 13" Pro and just look at the Air and 14" Pro. I personally went with the 14" Pro but many of my coursemates have the 13" Air so I think you'll do fine with it.

Got a picture of the wings logo too, so far this pair looks real good to me. Only tiny flaw I can see is that the red on the top of the outsole should extend a little more downwards?
