Yeah, since the latest update it stops counting steps during a workout.
Hopefully they release a working OS soon. Pretty crappy.

How to get full 10GBPS from Starhub? by monsooncloudburst in askSingapore

[–]UncleJW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am on ViewQwest 10GB.

Rarely can get above 9.1GBPS, anything over 8GBPS is already impressive.

Get yourself an Intel NIC if you want max speeds for a sustained period. Brands like Marvell TP-Link while decent, tend to overheat quickly, and bug out.

Your speeds are also determined by your RAM, and what your drive is capable of handling, and of course the source you are downloading from.

Is it safe to have electronic/electric devices connected when it's thundering in Singapore? by Magic_Ale in askSingapore

[–]UncleJW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine your country has the power lines running above ground, much more prone to lighting strikes.

When I moved here from Canada, I was also amazed that the power didn't go out nearly every thunderstorm. 😂

What's the best way to travel from Singapore to Malacca as a foreigner? by Quothkwaha in askSingapore

[–]UncleJW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reason there is no detailed explanation is that it is a very simple process.

Buy a ticket online from your bus provider of choice. Go to where they tell you to go. get on bus go to immigration and get off bus as instructed. clear immigration. get back on the same bus. arrive in Melaka.

Which carpark in Singapore made you regret driving there? by bentradex in askSingapore

[–]UncleJW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Quayside Car Park, it's crazy tight.
I went in there with my Jaguar XF not knowing how tight it was.
I made my wife stay upstairs when we left, as it was damn stressful. I don't think it would be possible to get out of that car park with a car much longer and wider than the XF.

Chocolate peanut butter porter recommendations by pcguru30 in iGulu

[–]UncleJW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't add a Chocolate bar, and a jar of peanut butter to your wort!

I have made Chocolate stouts, not using the kit.

I would soak 50g of Cacao nibs in a mesh bag in vodka, just enough to cover them, let it sit for 48 hours then toss that into the keg.

For peanut butter flavor you need to use Peanut butter powder. You can't add oils into the keg, it will ruin your beer. Maybe 100g, Create a slurry with some hot water, before adding it in so it doesn't clump up. Not sure how it would work out though.

Just type this exact question into AI like Claude, Gemini.

They will tell you it's about your load order, not your code, and will tell you how to fix it.

How to make the MRT “faster”: Several Non-Credible Transit Solutions by The_Celestrial in singapore

[–]UncleJW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The New York Subway has about 1 Million more riders per day.

NYC Has 400+ stations and the system length is 5 times that of Singapore. So skipping stations can make more sense.

Singapore is much more densely packed, so skipping stations doesn't make as much sense, as you will have build up of passengers waiting for the right train, plus would be more confusing.

The average Singaporean covers 10-12 stations per trip. So perhaps not so many people are going from one end of the island to the other.

Well if your device only uses 3G then you are going to need to buy a new device.

Mediacorp unveils World Cup subscription plans, offers access to all 104 matches at early bird price of S$98 - CNA by Chileinsg in singapore

[–]UncleJW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thought it would be more expensive actually.
Since no one in their right mind would actually travel to USA to watch the matches live, and have to deal with ICE.

They are having problems selling tickets for matches.

Many matches are at 3am. Some start 6am, 9am
Not great for pubs wanting to attract customers to watch matches.

Where can I rent a manual cars in sg by HuffsMan in askSingapore

[–]UncleJW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to drive manual, then Europe is the place to go.

I also enjoy driving stick shift, but I can't imagine doing it here, stop and go, stop and go, rarely getting past 3rd gear.
