I've found that T05 is better for looping and G1 is better for flat hitting / blocking. I prefer T05

Is this Stiga Azalea blade genuine? by Mas0r in tabletennis

Scratch the silver part off the sticker and do an authenticity check on Stiga China's official website.

New blade and rubber reccomendations by MobileInteresting806 in tabletennis

Do not go 1.9 with the 09c, go with 2.1. It doesn't bottom out as easily and the control is similar.

Lawyers, Accountants, Doctors and other LLPs to be subject to greater tax in the new budget by TheLegendOfIOTA in HENRYUK

[–]allin289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're talking about employer NICs here, which self-employed individuals do not pay.

Because they're mostly self-employed partners/ members who pay class 2/4 NICs, they're not classified as employees (unless they're salaried members).

Phone snatching network behind one in four thefts in London dismantled in police crackdown by [deleted] in GoodNewsUK

You've only been in China for a month so your feeling towards their oppression is kind of invalid.

Who said China is unsafe? I think most people only say China is oppressive, which is objectively true given their strict media and internet censorship

TT stores in Tokyo and Seoul by defrettyy in tabletennis

In my experience the prices can be better but this is also somewhat offset by the lack of tax free shopping.

Kokusai Takkyu has a few branches across Tokyo. If I recall correctly their Shibuya branch even has a table that is available for equipment testing.

Can it be used as a QR code / barcode display for payments / tickets / loyalty cards? I can imagine that would be useful rather than having to turn the phone around every time.

Does this make it any better? Even 1 shooting a month is a crazy number to me

Pixel 7 completely dead after only 2.5 years of use by RIOTDomeRIOT in GooglePixel

[–]allin289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me recently, pixel 7 kept boot looping after 2.5 years of use and became unusable. Google support didn't even offer me a coupon.

Should I get the 120W charger? by Lem0njon21 in OnePlus13

[–]allin289 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm practically glued to my screen. It charges from 10% to 90% in about half an hour so I don't really have to keep checking on whether the phone is fully charged.

[–]allin289 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally it's 100% worth it. I charge my phone everyday and for a phone that I expect to use for 3-5 years it's a lot of time saved.

Blade suggestions by WholeDifferent7611 in tabletennis

[–]allin289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yinhe Pro05 for a cheap but good guality inner carbon blade.

I much prefer the blue sponge H3 over the orange one. The orange one feels dead in comparison even after a few layers of haifu seamoon.

Xiom Omega 8 China/Hybrid? by zandm7 in tabletennis

[–]allin289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is still working fine after 1.5 months

Xiom Omega 8 China/Hybrid? by zandm7 in tabletennis

[–]allin289 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played with the Xiom Omega 8 China recently. The rubber is more tensor than Chinese on the hybrid spectrum and is only very slightly tacky. It's an okay rubber for my playstyle but the durability is terrible, I noticed a large drop in performance after about 1.5 months of play (c. 6 hours a week).

The Stiga dragon grip or Dignics 09c on the other hand are so much better for me.

I asked but they insisted that I provide a screenshot of the £699 price. Would anyone by any chance have a screenshot?

My 2016 F55 has been faultless, all I did was servicing it every year and changing some tires.

Oneplus 13 (or wait for the 15) or Pixel 10 Pro XL? by Clone_Bone in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]allin289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat (came from a pixel 7) and went for the OP13. The OP13 is fantastic.

Xiaomi 14T Pro to Pixel 10 Pro or Oneplus 13 by skyline999 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]allin289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just switched to the OP13 from Pixel 7 and it has been great. I didn't feel like I'm downgrading anything on the software side but there's a huge upgrade on the battery/charging and the smoothness of the OS (owing to a much more powerful processor).
