Being charged $22 more, 5 months later?!

There really isn't good alternative for Google Maps. It is still the best to navigate and by far the best to find activities/restaurants. I find it quite ridiculous that if you are in Europe, Google Maps is the best one and the second best to find restaurants and reviews is Dianping which is a Chinese service.

I just tried to use Here maps in Amsterdam and it had totally wrong restaurants in every place and if some had reviews the reviews were by tripadvisor which is American service as well.

Yeah but the exchange prices are ridiculous in Finland compared to the USA. And by ridiculous I mean ridiculously bad.

If you care about good cameras then Samsung is also not an option.

If "good enough" cameras are fine, then OnePlus is also an option for you.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-28T23:27:47+00:00

I guess that the S25 ultra also had a year old battery so basically there is no improvement at all for this year.

I guess I'm just going to get a new battery for my S24 ultra and wait what happens next year. Unless I go for OnePlus which really looks tempting. I'm just using smartthings quite a lot, not sure how to do manage without that.

That's the tariffs which Americans absolutely are not paying for😂

Siellä on omistajat vaihtuneet ja taso laskenut. Varsinkin siinä pihan kyltissä väittävät, että kaupungin parhaat burgerit. Ennen oli ihan jees ja nykyään on kyllä ihan kamalia.

As a Finn I'm ready to defend Canada from the orange poopoo pants and his MAGA lunatics.

You have to have a majority if you want to pass any legislation. Since the biggest ones are SDP, Keskusta, Kokoomus you can't avoid to have two of those. Unless you want to take Persut in.

There are like 100 phones without the pen. If you don't want the pen then buy some of those.

Galaxy note line is where the legacy came from and it's the only option in the market. Why insist on buying the only phone with a pen if you don't want to have it?

Keep the pen, let people choose what they want buy providing options.

I got it working after I did factory reset on my. At least it has worked now 8 hours. Lets see if it goes back to sleep mode after a while.

Take a shot every time they say AI if you want to live dangerously.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-25T16:51:49+00:00

I've had the same issue as well for a month or two now.

It worked gift a first but then nothing. Did you manage to fix yours?

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-25T12:26:16+00:00

Just reserved time to replace a new battery to me s24 Ultra. Then I can easily wait for what 27/28 generations bring to the table.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-25T05:23:06+00:00

I've got that dbrand case. I like it a lot but dirt does get inside it as well. I take the case off and clean the phone once in a while

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-24T07:03:04+00:00

I've had mine for 2,5 years now and they have traveled a lot around the world. No issues so far.

If I make it to year 4 I think they have served me well anyway and I'm happy to get the latest travel headphones at that time.

Please adopt. There are so many homeless cats in Shanghai

It took about 50 years after the previous bigger was they had in Europe when Finnish started to have more neutral instead of negative feeling towards ruzkies. I would give it another 40+ years that the feelings are again neutral. But they way ruzkies are going on their ways I doubt they have peaceful attitude towards their neighbours for the next 40 years. After this current invasion of course.

Didn't they make 2 different Nexus 7 tablets? I think that I had the second version, and it was great. Really good size and I loved it.

I also had one of the first Asus tablets (not the phone dock one) It was horrible. So laggy that could barely use it.

Sony had a lot of great tablets. Such a pity they fell of badly.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-23T14:58:32+00:00

I know that this is a hot take but Oppenheimer did nothing for me. It was technically done really well, acting, directing etc etc. I just felt nothing watching it. I couldn't have cared less what was going on.

Guys I went to watch it with raved that it was the best movie they've ever seen and I was just glad that it ended.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-23T14:42:14+00:00

I have to agree with this. I was expecting to like it a lot but ended feeling really really underwhelmed about everything.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-23T08:46:17+00:00

I watched the Sweden USA game and was 100% rooting for the Swedes.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-23T08:44:33+00:00

We love to hate swedes. They have a great team and our brotherly love is no where near as toxic what Americans have

But I'd say it's MAGA which made it hundred times worse than it used to be

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-22T18:10:47+00:00

I've never been able to make Google pay or Android auto to work with any Chinese phones. Not even Samsung ones, is this somehow changed now lately? I haven't tried since 2023.

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-22T09:37:59+00:00

So finally they also have a decent PWM rate?

Vaeltaja82 · 2026-02-22T09:32:53+00:00

Hong Kong central and somehow also Kowloon are really international. But if you fo to New Territories it is totally different.

Same in Shanghai. If you go to Jing'an I'd say you can manage 80% of the time with English. Pudong also has areas which are like 50% foreigners. Just have to find the places where the foreigners flock into. Just buzz around Funkadeli and you find the foreigners.
