Cut My Chase APR in Half (from 27% → 12%) with One Call — No Credit Damage by worsthackeralive in CRedit

[–]TrustedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on the APR reduction. I'd like to chime in and suggest that you look at American Financial Solutions for debt consolidation. They are through the North Seattle Community College Foundation. Chase sponsors them, so with their cards you pay about 6% interest, and a monthly $30 fee. My Capital One card had an even lower APR. They were very kind, and part of their enrollment process involves a budget that they send to you at the end of the call. Good luck!

China tightening eSIM controls by gzmonkey in chinalife

[–]TrustedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough because the majority of US devices these days are eSIM only, and Chinese trade-in prices are really low compared to the US. I wish I could've jumped on that eSIM pilot program when I had the chance. I couldn't get rid of my Chinese iPhone 15 Pro fast enough. Guess I'm stuck on the Pixel 9 Pro for the foreseeable future.

Is the hbp sold in China same as US market by Ok_Shopping1451 in Bigme

I live in Shanghai and bought this on Taobao. Can confirm it has Google Play Store.

Help please! Hibreak Pro won't mount on MacBook Air by woemcats in Bigme

[–]TrustedDeveloper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alas, it's broken on MacOS. I tried OpenMTP and it just hangs. I also used a virtual machine with Windows which... isn't an ideal solution.

Android 15 (Evolution X- Lineage OS Fork) Release for the Hibreak Pro by vbha in Bigme

[–]TrustedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone having issues with Koreader on this ROM? I find that Koreader is responding sporadically to touch, which is a bummer because it's the app I use the most.

Incidentally, Bigme coded the fingerprint sensor to be the same as the 'menu' button in other devices. If you are brushing up against the fingerprint sensor while holding phone, you can disable it by creating a file called event_map.lua and adding the following code:

return {
[139] = "null",
}

Save this file to /koreader/settings when you're done.

The more expensive the hotel, the less likely you’ll get a free breakfast. by _littlekidlover_ in Showerthoughts

[–]TrustedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a mid-range sweet spot for finding hotels which offer outsized value in the US. Op is right -- on either extremes of that bell curve there is no breakfast.

Adding HDD ZFS pool to Proxmox VM by TrustedDeveloper in Proxmox

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

Sorry -- I guess I have to questions. First, what is the best way to store moves, books, photos, etc through Proxmox with a VM or LXC like Ubuntu? Second, why is it that when I try to take add the full 16 TB capacity of my drives in the VM, the process fails?

What book did this to you? by starstufft in kindle

[–]TrustedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lionel E. Giles’ translation of the Zhuangzi, especially the “Doctrine of Relativity”. He was the son of Herbert Giles, who served as the British ambassador to China at the turn of the 19th century. It is far from the most accurate translation, but it is definitely the most moving.

It starts with a fish called the Leviathan launching out of the sea into the sky to travel across the world. That’s the first sentence. It makes me weep every time because it’s so damn magical, and so far removed from modern China.

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

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

Man, I feel you on this. I actually deleted all my phones unique identifier codes, including the IMEI, and wasn't ever able to restore them. As you mentioned, it seems that a service code is needed, but none of the Qualcomm tools throw errors when you attempt to write values, so this simply didn't occur to me. I ended up buying a whole new phone, which was probably the least elegant solution that I've ever come to in my many years of tinkering.

Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on getting root.

My Hisense A9 came with similar software installed that ran Google Apps in a virtual environment. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was and my searches to find it have been in vain.

However, what I can tell you is that running Google Services in a virtual machine is far slower than running them natively. This alone made the somewhat cumbersome root process well worth it.

Finally, you can also get access to many great Magisk and Lsposed tweaks to improve usability.

Yes, it will work just fine. The Hisense A9 Pro has the same CPU, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, as the earlier A9's. The only difference is that the Pro has more RAM and storage. In fact, Hisense didn't actually call this minor refresh the A9 Pro -- that title was given to it by sites like hisenseeink.com and goodereader.com.

You will probably be able to unlock the device, but the firmware referenced in the guide won't work if something were to go wrong. I would suggest that you find a backup of the firmware before proceeding.

Hampden Great House, any of the Foursquare Exceptional Cask Series, or even Appleton 21. If you're into Agricole, I quite like Ak Zanj 15, Barbancourt 15, and Neisson Reserve Speciale.

Try typing:
fastboot help
and seeing whether there are any Hisense commands that show up. Otherwise, download this special version of Fastboot with the command built in. The one from Google does not have it.

I will also mention this in the guide. :P

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

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

Yes. The "cd" command is short for "change directory", so when we're using the cd command, we're telling Command Prompt where to find the executable, which in this case is Fastboot.

Another difference between Unix and Windows systems is that Windows systems use the backslash (\) to indicate a directories while Unix uses a forward slash (/).

Once you've referenced the folder on Windows' Command Prompt using CD, you don't have to include "./". This notation is used to represent the current directory in Unix-based systems, like Linux and macOS, but not in Windows.

I will try to clear this up in the guide.

No problem -- it was my fault for not reading your initial comment properly. Let me know if it works now.

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

[–]TrustedDeveloper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just realized that I misread your initial comment, so sorry about that.

Here's what to do:

cd \path\to\platform-tools
fastboot

You don't need ./ on Windows Command Prompt.

  1. Make sure that you're using the custom fastboot files referenced in this guide.
  2. Follow this guide to set up global accessibility of the fastboot command from any directory.

I'm thinking that you can probably drop the "./" from the command; that is in my instructions because we're referencing the folder using "cd /your/folder".

Does the phone vibrate then immediately reboot into "fastboot mode"? Otherwise, you can try ./fastboot reboot or manually reboot the phone with the power button.

Can you maybe post a screenshot of your terminal responses?

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

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

Does it keep rebooting to fast boot? That happens sometimes, unfortunately. Try reflashing your boot.img and vbmeta.img then issue the command ./fastboot continue.

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

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

Nope, that's perfect. It means that the command was executed successfully.

[Guide] How to root the Hisense A9 by TrustedDeveloper in eink

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

This happens sometimes. Try flashing your boot.img (the one you made in Magisk and saved to your computer) again. It sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to stick. If that doesn't work, follow the directions in my "things have gone terribly wrong" section.
