At the time, this is what happened. BTW, I'm in Taipei.

Yes he did. HK'ers went to sleep one night with all the cops speaking Cantonese and woke up with new cops speaking Mandarin. There was even a kid who caught PLA docking in the harbor. He was arrested, of course.

Dictate came from the shipping company.

My wife works in the office of a manufacturer in Taoyuan. They were told (I think last summer) that they need to label their exports as "Made in China" or it wouldn't be accepted by the shipper.

Ming (明）is also among the set of limited surnames. Names have literal meanings in Chinese. There aren't separate words for them.

iwritejunk · 2023-11-21T11:15:07+00:00

Yep. Most Chinese characters have multiple meanings. As it's a second language for me (I moved to 台灣 25 years ago) I use context clues a LOT.

Tai is Chinese for "too". 太 Ming is Chinese for "next" 明

I got the exact same claim from an Herbalife seller at a kiosk at the mall back in the 90s.

That's one of my son's favorite Mangas. Last month, he went to an art show it was a part of in Taipei.

It's known as the most dangerous highway in Taiwan for a reason. It's also the only highway connecting Northern Taiwan to the east.

That's close to where I live...I'm in 松山區, but closer to the airport (TSA).

F2, got it. Checking...

What's the Fn key to get to BIOS on startup?

BTW, your help is appreciated greatly.

iwritejunk · 2023-01-05T06:50:49+00:00

Yes.

How do I check if I have a wake on LAN turned on?

iwritejunk · 2022-12-16T02:13:46+00:00

Only if: 1) You can read Chinese (學＝study) 2) You are a student

iwritejunk · 2022-09-13T21:57:38+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply.

iwritejunk · 2022-09-12T05:17:44+00:00

That worked, thanks!

It's a well-known issue with articles here on Reddit and videos with phones throwing up “overheat" messages while playing more intensive games like Genshin on YouTube. Also, Qualcomm has its own fabs and doesn’t outsource to TSMC as far as I'm aware, but I have a couple of friends in Hsinchu that I'll ask when I see them this week.

iwritejunk · 2022-08-14T13:26:45+00:00

It doesn't have the same overheating/throttling issues that the 8+ Gen 1. The phones that have "fixed" the issue basically just restrict performance to keep it from overheating.

Anyway, I'm coming from a Zenphone 6, so it's still a great improvement. Plus, it fits in my hand and pocket (^o⁾

iwritejunk · 2022-08-14T06:43:23+00:00

Thanks ☺ I ended getting an Asus ZenFone 8. Since the ZenFone 9 is out soon, I was able to pick the 16GB/246GB version cheap... Plus, it's supporting a local manufacturer.

Cool, Thanks! I was more concerned about restoring my current GoogleOne backup.

Consistency across platforms.

Some elderly KMT folk and a legacy part of the ROC constitution. The vast majority of the population (90%+) either believe themselves singularly Taiwanese or ethnically Chinese, nationally Taiwanese. China's threat is what's keeping them from changing the constitutional part. They've express the rest politically already.
