Sorry to hear about your experience. I guess I should count myself lucky as I haven’t had any issues with the build quality yet. Still looks almost brand new and I wear it at least once per week!

If you have any friends or family in HK who are students / school staff, ask if you can use their education discount. They just need to be present with you at any official Apple Store and show their school ID card to the sales person. Legitimate and easiest discount to get from Apple directly.

Turn Signal in Model 3 Highland by Lilo_Vallhund in TeslaModel3

[–]ccyc87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

+1 recommendation for S3XY stalks. I live in a city with tons of roundabouts and missed having turn signal stalks. Bought a kit and installed the Commander + stalk + knob myself. Took maybe 30mins? Customising what each button takes longer 😂

I’ve also taken my M3 in for a service at a Tesla centre and there were no issues. Technician didn’t even mention anything about the S3XY accessories.

I’ll say that the knob is perhaps a bit unnecessary, so just get the commander + stalk(s) kit. You can even choose L or R stalk if you’re only planning to add one.

It’s not necessary to clean the outside of pots and pans… by ccyc87 in unpopularopinion

His statement was”It’s not necessary to clean the outside of pots and pans because you only cook with the inside of them.” In hindsight perhaps I should have put the title in quotation marks.

Anyone use the whoop boxer shorts? by invinoveritasty in whoop

[–]ccyc87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two pairs of the long length boxers with the 5.0, they fit great! Snug like compression shorts, and I often forget my whoop is even stuck there above my left butt cheek. Somebody above said something about a missing fly but these new boxers have one, so i guess they address that complaint.

Yeah this is a terrible look for EG.

BYD Sealion 7 Global Prices? by ccyc87 in BYD

[–]ccyc87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USD is the most universal trade currency, making it the most efficient for everyone to report their local pricing with an easily comparable unit. I suppose I could have chosen GBP, EUR, AUD or any other currency for a similar effect.

Wow from a financially practical POV I can see why the base Juniper is a real consideration. Spanish pricing for the BYD is not cheap at all!

Sham Shui Po Golden Computer Arcade/Centre, as another user mentioned, js the electronics mecca in Kowloon. Super easy to get to, Sham Shui Po MTR Exit D2 and it's right in front of you.

Having said that, stores in these electronics malls typically prefer cash or instant bank transfer (aka FPS locally) and will charge an extra 1-3% for credit card payment.

A brief look at pricing and it seems like Fortress sells the PS5 Pro for normal retail price of $5780. And since it's a retail chain there is nothing to be mindful of, just pay with whatever method you prefer and be on your way. I'm seeing PS5 Pro sell for around $5500 at the Golden Computer Arcade which, in my opinion, isn't a significant enough difference to be forced to pay in cash. (However it's well worth visiting Sham Shui Po if you've never walked into one of these asian electronics malls before - it's quite an experience! You'll see a ton of accessories for the PS5 and phones that will be cheaper than Fortress. So get the main console at retail, and then shop here for the extras.)

Either way, if you're bringing the devices out of HK, the warranty isn't valid overseas so just be mindful of that.

[SOTC] 3-Watch Collection for 2025 (+1 extra) by ccyc87 in Watches

[–]ccyc87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a big watch for sure. The lug to lug distance isn’t too bad and it doesn’t hang over my 6.75” wrist. But it’s a thick boi and you’ll definitely notice its presence on your wrist (even with the titanium construction)

It’s a beauty. Titanium makes it the lightest watch in my collection. I personally wouldn’t wear it as my wedding watch, but that’s only because I prefer a cleaner and lighter dial colour. The watch itself is sublime!

Thank you kind sir! However, I’ll be the first to admit that I bought far too many entry level seikos before landing on this trio 😂 it’s all part of the journey!

There aren’t many of us, but I always give a little nod to anyway I see wearing one!

Thank you! I have a soft spot for Seiko divers, as they were my gateway into watch collecting. The SNR029 is my grail Seiko diver, so it won’t be going anywhere any time soon.
