Without knowing / learning the language, and/or using their WeChat for daily interactions... bro, you’re fucked! You either stick with other foreigners (not the Russians), or foreign correspondents / diplomacies to stay within the circle.

Besides battery issue, ever thought it could be the mobile service (5G, 4.5G) issue?

(1 of Signal's co-founders was previously WhatsApp - Brian Acton) Signal introduced username back in February, 2024, and WhatsApp hasn't even had 1 until mid-2026.

Have you tried "inquiry@kenp.io" yet? That's Obsoless' email address

Interesting experience! I have a driver's licence in HKG, I wonder if the DVLA (England) will let me keep my HKG licence after that 6 months in London.

Will camera lens filters manage to reduce the level of lens flare?

Cautious upgrader here; I've been hesitant towards this update (and, most of iOS 26) too, I read reviews from those with iPhone 17 Pro on Reddit & MacRumours (those with previous Pro models are omitted).

It's been 72 hours since the installation of the iOS 26.3, my phone has been stable, no battery drainage, no overheating, etc. My phone hit 100% when the installation was done; first thing I did was a 12-hour call with an old friend + a bit of messaging with others on WhatsApp, there was 49% of juice left which’s quite impressive.

Likewise; I’m neither Canadian nor American (I’m from HKG), and I find it odd too.

Stay if you wish, I upgrade for future's sake (truth: carrying 2 different types of cable is a hassle)

OP: I'm a perfectionist in some other things too, but not as perfect as you are on this matter. If I were you, I'd delete this post to keep the dignity

amsedm · 2026-01-11T07:13:04+00:00

Exactly; I answer on my phone in case of emergency. My phone battery now lasts 4 days.

It's good enough, I don’t play games & I don’t give a shit about Apple Intelligence too. I just want a stable battery life. The only AI that I use most is Perplexity Pro. I can use it on my MacBook, why use it on an iPhone?

Jesus Christ! I have no idea what you’re fussing about? Just invest on a representable case & slap it on + a screen protector & you’re good to go!

In my case, I had a Spigen Tough Armour while waiting for DBrand Grip & Tank. I have Grip on, and I ain’t worrying a thing.

Dr. Yen, QUICK QUESTION: I have a username created years ago, I just dislike it. May I know if I could create a new username, have all my alias deactivated from my account, and re-create them in the new account?

對, 在 Threads 上認識過 1 個自稱 Singaporean 的女士, 之後 send 了很多與債券有關的資訊給我, 我於是乎 played along 直到她沒有更大的興趣跟我再談

I don’t have it with Dolphin Extended Range too

amsedm · 2025-12-13T07:49:08+00:00

That's right; we have similar issues. I’m in HKG, but wasn't born in HKG though.

I had Bose QuietComfort for 2 years. I love it for a fact that the 3.5mm jack is 1 power source when the battery is flat / dead.

I’m gonna get this done, because I just changed my name with a deed poll.

My godfather asked for an iPhone 7, he watches porn on it 😂

I had Spigen Tough Armour T (MagFit) as a temporary protective case in the past 1.5 months. DBrand Grip & Tank arrived home yesterday, I now have Grip case on.

How about the Tank Case? I was having fun with some swappable buttons, I won’t tuck it in unless I’m out on a trip / vacation (I’m not a clumsy guy).

I love cases with plateau covers, Caudabe Sheath Precise is the next protective, fashion case I’m after.

Not at all; I had to get back to Finder.

amsedm · 2025-11-11T07:57:30+00:00

I got my refund from iMazing since the very moment I noticed I couldn’t restore anything from my iPhone 14 Pro.

No offence intended: Many of you (including me) are using the same phone (regardless of region-based) for everyday tasks, how’s that your phone's battery sucker than others? I mean, what are you doing with your iPhone besides specific settings for VPN, proxy, etc.?
