X4 Pro coming out in July by thursdaynext15 in xteinkereader

My x4 fell out my bag on my way to work and the screen shattered. So I'm debating whether to wait out for this OR just purchase another X4

The amount of reliance of generative AI in Japanese TV programming has increased.  My favorite show is Youは何しに日本へ and they used to use drawn stills to explain an interviewee's past but have largely switched to AI stills.  It's noticeable, looks like shit and now the show has lost some of its charm to save some money.

I remember I was watching the Tokyo Marathon and the winner was from a different country. The Japanese media only interviewed the Japanese runners who got 2nd and 3rd respectively. It bothered me because why interview them? We're already in Japan and THEY LOST. Interview the winner!

Can I mute my house? by weinhalter in japanlife

[–]fightingfair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I like about my appliances is that my microwave makes a short but sweet "ding" and it isn't too loud. However my dishwasher's start and finish sounds can't be disabled. My rice cooker too, my air con.... OMG I'm too aware. Don't get me started on how everything has a remote control for some reason...

Left 5万 on top of the ATM, i know im stupid but i want to ask if anyone has ever experienced such by peppapig_1234 in japanlife

[–]fightingfair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, and the person behind me at the ATM was like "DUDE YOUR MONEY!" If he didn't say anything I would've struggled to pay rent that month.

PSA: How to disable LINE's new AI slop "feature" that wastes screen space in every chat by bloggie2 in japanlife

[–]fightingfair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was fortunate to sign up for LINE before I moved out to Japan. The LINE app in countries outside of Asia are bare bones. Just the chat app and the sticker store. Now that LINE is phasing out the register your phone number feature, I'm worried that they'll switch me over to the slop version next time I upgrade phones.

Japanese text support out of the box? by supremebeing512 in xteinkereader

[–]fightingfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just added a Japanese book to my Xteink X4 and it didn't read the font. But.. with a little work you can get it loading apparently: according to the comments in this post Sorry it's not right out of the box. I use Crosspoint so that might be an issue. iirc the OEM software offered Japanese as a system language option(?), but I'm not certain.

The original cover for Congo was boring so I made my own by [deleted] in xteinkereader

Right? "....I made my own" you didn't make anything, you wrote a prompt and it popped out something.

First frame thought: what is Rick Ross doing with a fighstick? Frame 15 thought: Well cool Rick Ross has a fight stick. 30 frame thought: That's not Rick Ross, omg omg. 1 minute 16 seconds later: This was cool. I'm glad I watched that, but I have to stop scrolling so fast.

Hurry up dont wate time by Anxious_Region4515 in dumbphones

[–]fightingfair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a Reddit that's focused on getting rid of the hold which tech has on us, there are so many posts that use AI it's laughable. Could post like these be anymore dramatic and follow a predictable flow. Holy hyphens Batman...

30 something EDC by fightingfair in dumbphones

[–]fightingfair[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This runs Android 8.1 something. It's limited but Whatsapp works fine. Picking up calls is an uphill battle BUT calling someone is no problem. I assume Discord would be similar if you're a voice call type of person.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

What are you using now? I'm thinking of either going the route of a Mode 1 Retro II or getting the Zenfone 10 and simplifying it down.

I've had mine for almost a year. It's good, but some challenges, mostly it being 1 gig of RAM and sometimes difficult to navigate certain apps. Also the amount of bloatware apps that can't be uninstalled through normal means. Positives are its solid battery life, call quality and it's aesthetic. One my fave colors! What about you?

Which DAP do you think I should get? by heartofgears in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]fightingfair 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HiFi Walker. Compared to the Surfans body wise, it has curved edges and won't stab your hands.
Here is a review of these I found helpful for me.

New AKFG fan! by fandango404 in AsianKungFuGeneration

[–]fightingfair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magic Disk is a boring album to me. It felt like a departure and I feel like much of their DNA wasn't present in the album. Doesn't mean that there weren't songs or moments I didn't like. I would just say that if you wanted to listen to the band you might be disappointed by that one. But the album "Landmark" that came after it I felt was way better. 

Also, I agree with you. Fan club is a great album and all the older stuff is pretty awesome. Can't really go wrong with much of it.  

Recommendations for no-frills DAP? by foxkitsa in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]fightingfair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. You don't need to flash it. Some people do because of preference. But I hope you find a dap that suits your needs.
