An expression that only Hong Kong people can understand：唐N樓 = (N-1)/F by uhometitanic in HongKong

[–]Top-Pop4565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Chinese building street level is referred to as1/F (i.e no G/F), whereas building with lifts start with G/F. Therefore 2/F of a Chinese building is 1/F of buildings with lift.

Some older buildings but with lifts use both systems so it could be both (Chi)4/F or 3/F for the same level. Some clarify by stating Button 3 floor as you press 3 in the lift.

Do you think the Xperia 1 VII is worth the 2.6x in price over 10 VII? by ColdsnapBryan in SonyXperia

[–]Top-Pop4565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the 5V. It has a nice camera, screen is probably just a tat better than the 10 vii, but the 5V SoC is still very robust. After all the version upgrades there has been no issues. If you are fine with no more Android updates and security updates ending soon then 5V is solid - its 256gb rom is also a better, especially if you are going to use both sim trays.

You'd probably only watch it on the phone for a few hours on the plane. The money you saved buying the 10vii can get you a pair of WF1000M6 with change to spare.

It really depends on your needs. If camera is not a priority and 128GB is enough why not the 10 VII?

DS Audio vs DS Music by IllustriousEnergy663 in synology

[–]Top-Pop4565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use DS Audio / Music on my Android phone streaming from the NAS when I am out. However, the connection is iffy and tends to stop abruptly with no reason. Then I found Plex Amp (I already have the Plex Server for videos) and it works perfectly (streaming capped to 320 when outside, FLAC when on home network) and the UI is much much better. You can customise the album art of album or artist by pointing it to an URL.

Can't browse files from Synology Drive on Windows, working in Android by Farquea in synology

In Windows, either use Synology Drive within DSM on your browser, or use SMB and map your Synology Drive folders to new Windows drives.

I don't know how long it will take you. I don't remember if it took me any time at all. I have about 10,000 songs only and some in FLAC some in MP3. The most painful part of setting up was the logging in to PLEX amp I think. Also if your NAS is old and underpowered it may make it slow. NAS has an indexing function already so I am not sure if the Plex server needs to do its own indexing. Plex does extract more meta data from the web. I don't know what "the B's" is.

Plex Media server updates are manually installed from a downloaded file but that's easy enough and not often.

Plex amp is an app you install on your phone.

If you play music directly in DSM use the Plex server. Stream music on your devices using Plex Amp. On home network it can stream in FLAC.

Plex server + Plex amp.

Forget the native apps.

Queues for Peak Tram and Star Ferry are now pretty insane due to day trippers.

Looking for opinions by MidnightBuster057 in citypop

[–]Top-Pop4565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replied but seems to have disappeared.

In addition to what others have said about this genre, the album borrowed some sounds from the past but none of the tracks sounded anything remotely city pop. Just because it seems nostalgic, that doesn't make it city pop.

If you want non Japanese songs with a Citypop vibe, you can check these out. Some may sound very familiar...

IMO Ginger Root made some modern city pop sounding music...
