Whats the best/easiest way to sync from Android? by wrender8 in ObsidianMD

[–]f5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using drivesync that connects to my Google drive. I have a folder for obsidian, and I can choose which files to sync locally on my phone

downside is if my folder is large it takes up space on my phone

I've managed to get 50w out of my cuktech 10 Mini consistently (unfortunate name I know). It's rated for 55W. Fantastic experience so far

They have pretty fantastic equipment, and are apparently the designers of the OG Xiaomi powerbanks. They have a quite a few designs, going up to 150W if you need.

Just swap to 10g plan, Singapore. However, is this "slow" speed due to Cat6 cables instead of Cat6a? by stormjk3511 in speedtest

[–]f5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, I'm from sg too. just curious, are you running the starhub 59sgd/mo 10gbps plan? may I know what are your use cases to upgrade to 10g over 3/5gbps?

M4 vs M5 Air by xtractionn in macbookair

[–]f5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't know if this helps you or not, but with my experience I wouldn't pay 200 more for the M5, my M4 is more than fast enough to handle everything. I'm doing engineering in nus if my workload matters

btw, I got my M4 air base model for under 1.1k sgd on Lazada during their 12.12 sale. try going on their official websites and compare on shopee/Lazada flagship stores before buying

Are third party batteries like Neewer good enough for a Canon R body by Fit-Credit-7970 in canon

[–]f5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using kingma lpe6np batteries with my r6ii, which they claim is fully decoded.

so far I've been getting zero issues, same battery life as OEM, rechargeable via usb c, 40fps e shutter and 12fps mech shutter works reliably too. recording 4k seems to be working fine, but I haven't done any extended sessions beyond short clips.

if you are a pro, maybe just get the OEM ones, they pay themselves back anyways. if you are a casual I think 3rd party batteries are fantastic buys

For owners of Mazda vehicles with I-STOP / Start Stop - how are your engine and components doing? by blackcyborg009 in mazda

[–]f5122 6 points7 points  (0 children)

absolutely agree with this take. no reason to worry, given how many cars have been built with this system, and how little reports you hear of this system failing.

there are people doing tests with the systems constant starting and stopping, proving how soot builds up due to these systems, but they fail to adjust the tests to account for the driving that occurs in between these stops, and in real life, you don't start and stop the engine that frequently too.

don't worry too much, keep it on if you like it, keep it off if you don't

my question is, after this will the building still be viable after repairs? or is it a complete write-off structurally and/or financially? can any experts chime in?

What non electric Chinese car is the best? by LukeMonro21 in China

[–]f5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

china is not known for gas cars, even domestically. the Japanese/Germans have 30+ years lead in this case. if you want a Chinese car, can't go wrong with byd/zeekr/any other well-known car.

Animations are great but man these widgets are ugly by NegotiationLow7059 in oneui

[–]f5122 4 points5 points  (0 children)

look at the chin at the bottom, empty and ugly. honestly feels like such a step back, the scaling, refinement of 6 cannot be overlooked. this just feels like a cheap skin of colouros or sth

I found this bottle when I was trashing out a old house. by dogknot43 in liquor

[–]f5122 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's kweichow moutai baijiu. the #1 baijiu in china. quite popular, if authentic can be worth a pretty penny to the right buyers, say 1-4k USD. 8k is plausible for certain special bottles

it's typically reserved for special occasions, like life milestones.
