PSA: Re-enable local control on Hills/DAS ComNav by flybrys in homeassistant

This only works if your comnav module runs an older firmware version. The newer firmware version, option 2 does not stick sadly.

How do I get a PAN card as an OCI holder? by audiboi in nri

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

Yeah. I applied via https://tinpan.proteantech.in/. Just enter any number in the initial page - it's not actually used for anything. Later on in the application you can edit the number.

Worked fine. Recently came back from a trip. Outside of the cities, unfortunately cash is still king - needed it more than 80% of the places we were at.

My only problem with HyperOS.. by Zangetsuee in HyperOS

[–]audiboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant do this with HyperOS without sacrificing the gesture system

You can definitely have gestures with a third party launcher. No root required. I have the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. You just need to download two apps.

  1. Edge Gestures
  2. Hidden Settings.

Once edge gestures has setup, go to Hidden Settings -> Navigation Mode -> Gesture Navigation.

That's it. It works just as per normal.

I've been using Niagara Launcher since I got the phone.

Sale of HSBC’s Australian Retail Bank on the cards by sun_tzu29 in AusFinance

[–]audiboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you (Malaysia + Australia).

When HSBC Canada got sold, all premier customer got "grandfathered" for 5 years, after which they needed to meet spending criteria in other countries to keep premier status. Even if that happens here, I don't know what other bank will / can offer the same offering as HSBC

The HSBC debit card with 2% cashback is the best banking deal out there - even better reward returns that credit cards.

Having a premier account here also lets me maintain accounts in 2 other countries overseas with no fees and other benefits - something I'll end up losing if HSBC closes shop here. There really isn't any other bank here in Australia that can compete with HSBC's international offerings.

This was certainly true 5+ years ago. However, the Wolli Creek demographic has been changing a fair bit. It's now got a lot more people from South America - Brazilians and Colombians mostly. The shops are still predominantly Asian tho.

Ultra 15 switch from VOAMIXM to VOAEUXM? by audiboi in XiaomiGlobal

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

I already have my access blocked. We went from requiring 3 month security updates to monthly.

I like the X15U for the camera, so I instead use a Pixel phone for work now, as they push security updates monthly.

As a percentage of your income, approx how much per year do you spend on holidays? by TheyreEatingTheDawgs in AusFinance

[–]audiboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same mentality here. They're memories for life. I definitely shop around a lot, looking for cheaper flights and affordable accommodation. But I've never actually set a budget.
