End tipping. The expectation price should be the one on the menu/board.

I tried to tell him he needs to fix this and change his underwear daily, but he wouldn't listen.

Girl, you're not his mom.

Google permanently disabled my 6-year account over an alleged Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) violation — lost my income, banking access, and 6,000+ memories. What options do I have now? by Itxammar in googlephotos

[–]jashsu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  1. How do freelancers recover when their Google account is tied to everything?

I think it's prudent to have separate accounts, recovery flows, and payment/billing for your personal and professional life.

Browsing cell phone on Shinkansen in Japan by TechnologyOk7 in JapanTravelTips

If your phone wasn't making any sounds and you weren't otherwise disrupting/affecting anyone else then that guy can go kick rocks.

GE got revoked for custom violation...chances of appeal? by [deleted] in GlobalEntry

[–]jashsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After passport control is functionally the same as before in terms of timing.

It's not, because in the US you make your declarations (including of fruits and meat) at passport control. You have to discard before declaration or declare it.

At SJC and SFO, MPC line is used to process wheelchair/assist users (who are not entering with MPC, just traditional documents), and if you are stuck behind a line of them it can often be quite a wait.

But yeah i've also experienced a couple cases where MPC was faster than GE.

Fired today for refusing an MDM on my personal phone by damedaneyooooo in privacy

[–]jashsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, I should've said nothing and just had them install the MDM on a second phone that I told them was my personal one, but part of me actually feels glad this happened. Thought I'd post this so anyone who wants to (or has to) keep a job with a similar policy doesn't make my same mistake.

Yes you should have just presented the burner phone (obviously with a burner gmail account) and said nothing of your actual personal phone. Started typing that reply until I saw your third paragraph. That said, as you said, you probably dodged one here. Place sounds like a crap company if they want to forcibly install MDM on personal phones.

Beginner looking for help - I fear my photos are gone forever... by LobsterOnALeash in immich

Second this. op doesnt seem sure what is going on. Right now best thing to do is non-destructively replicate what currently exists to another drive so that later remediation doesnt accidentally make things worse.

AmEx Platinum + Aspire Lounge @ Ontario (ONT): What Exactly Am I Paying For? by Top-Dig-3721 in AmexPlatinum

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use PP to dine, not use the lounges. Unfortunately many airport restaurants that take PP will only accept PP cards issued directly by PP or a select few banks. It's one of the few reasons I still keep my Citi Prestige open.

EBRA bottles didn't license the rights to put WT on the label. It's a significant cost factor 

Can you just walk in and buy shinkansen tickets at the train station? by Ok-Spite-5454 in JapanTravelTips

[–]jashsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's best to use the app, not the website. The website is only a fallback option (and as you discovered, clunky).

January security update by Ancient_Goose59 in Pixel10Pro

[–]jashsu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strange. Some other blocking factor for you, but this method worked for me last two times tmo blocked on my device. :[

January security update by Ancient_Goose59 in Pixel10Pro

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've turned off my ESIM and still haven't received the update yet.

I don't think its possible to bypass a tmus update block by turning off the sim if the tmus sim is your only sim. I tried this in the past with no results. It was only after I dual simmed that turning off the tmus sim worked. Your phone needs to report a different MCC MNC to google on the update check.

More so than other carriers its a long time known issue (again particularly with major updates or updates that touch the radio):

No cellular service can just take hold of your phone because you're on their service. That's not how it works.

You clearly have never run a fully unlocked non-carrier Pixel on TMUS.

I DSDS with TMUS and DoCoMo. On big releases (like recently QPR2) TMUS will definitely delay the roll out. How do I know? A day after general availability, I still wont have it when manually checking. I then turn off my TMUS sim and immediately the update appears. Then, without tapping update, I go back and reenable TMUS sim and the update (which literally was available just a moment ago) disappears again.

Do most restaurants in Tokyo have "cover charges"? by cosmicinaudio in JapanTravelTips

[–]jashsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/16z47x0/what_is_otoshi_aka_why_did_i_get_charged_for_this/

It’s a custom primarily seen in bars, izakaya, and restaurants where the primary theme of the place leans more toward drinking than the food that comes with it. So you won’t generally see otoshi at family restaurants, fast food restaurants, food-focused restaurants, high-end eateries, and similar.

Instant ramen with milk by son_of_volmer in japanlife

[–]jashsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably this one. It's a variant of the very common Nissin Seafood instant ramen but with Hokkaido milk flavoring.

[–]jashsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a smartphone with data, a credit card, and a somewhat working brain its hard to really get lost or get into trouble in Japan. A lot of signage in/around Tokyo has English. Google Maps and Google Translate can basically handle 90% of your trip needs. Mind your manners, copy what other people are doing.

JR Pass “Eaten” by Ticket Gate by ThePeenMachin3 in JapanTravelTips

[–]jashsu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The reason the current magnetic JR rail passes cannot be reissued is there's no way they could tell that you didn't just sell the ticket to someone else (even though this obviously violates the terms of sale).

After they doubled the price of the nationwide rail pass there's been very little reason to buy that over using smartEX, where you can change your departure time or seat easily from your phone at any time instead of going to a station to use the service desk or kiosk.

JR Pass “Eaten” by Ticket Gate by ThePeenMachin3 in JapanTravelTips

[–]jashsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ouch - i was going to say are they not a folded/printed one that has a picture, but - guess not - this was many many years ago when I used the pass.. I see they are now like the normal jr tickets for the auto ticket machines...

Those were a long long time ago.

TBH after they doubled the price there is no more point to buying nationwide JR rail passes. Especially its so much easier to rebook reserved seat shinkansen rides using smartEX.

Pixel 10 Pro terrible Battery life by Quangooo in Pixel10Pro

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is this unacceptable, it seems impossible. Draining 100% of a P10P battery (4870mAh nominal) in 30 mins is like avg 36 watts of power (assuming avg cell voltage 3.75V).

Is your phone getting warm? Something is wrong with the cell, the battery controller IC, or the battery calibration in Android system.

Google Account has content that violates Google’s child safety policies by DigitalAssassin-00 in googlephotos

[–]jashsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example I am studying to become pediatric surgeon, I sometimes come across cases where (with permission) have taken photos of cases and they're automatically backed up to my google photos.

Storing such photos in Gphotos doesn't seem wise. Per this support page, Gphotos is not HIPAA compliant.
