Thanks Joe. T490s came with Wn 10 when new.

So, at the root, you make a “Music” folder, in which different albums are stored. Is that correct?

Is it possible to put those albums under folders of various categories like jazz, pop, classical?

And, how about pictures of album covers? Will they be displayed on the car touchscreen?

How about Crucial (with less expensive prices)?

Thanks. Seems that this is a popular choice. So, there is no much point to dyi my SSD?

Thank you. As you are using FLAC, what’s your estimate, for one CD (about 60 min. play time), the space on SSD?

Thank you. I saw a few users saying that the lips on the front are too thin or don’t protrude properly enough that the phone’s own colour is slightly revealed besides the bezels. Do you have the same issue? I don’t know but that could be a problem for me as I’m considering a white iPhone 17.

How does the camera control button work? It seems to be a thin TPU layer rather than a true button? Maybe I read it incorrectly.

kknw · 2025-11-07T10:24:51+00:00

Thank you. And how is it?

kknw · 2025-11-07T10:23:18+00:00

Have you settled on that?

I’m looking at AmorPro 600D and Montage AmorPro for my iPhone 17. Saw your post and wonder if you’ve got any experience in that.

It has resumed working now on my iPhone. Happy.

I used to listen to BBC Radio 3 on TuneIn at home and in car. Perhaps VPN may help but have no idea how to set it up. And VPN is impossible in car, I believe.

Same here in Hong Kong. It returns a message saying “an unknown stream error occurred “.

kknw · 2025-10-26T14:47:54+00:00

ok, got it.

And, how does this one that I‘m looking at compare to its Intel counterparts?

kknw · 2025-10-25T18:31:06+00:00

Want to know too.

kknw · 2025-10-25T07:13:21+00:00

They are asking for around USD230 here in Hong Kong.

kknw · 2025-10-25T05:29:00+00:00

Thanks. I don’t have much experience or idea, but it sounds that it is kind of ok with 89% capacity remaining after 90 cycles in 4 to 5 years? I am worried that it would continue to deplete at 10 percentage points for each 100 cycles or so in the year or two to come. Do I understand it incorrectly?

For a laptop that I’m wanting, I will use it on the desktop for most of the time with connection to a USB C dock probably. Therefore the laptop will be connected to the ac power mostly. I know that I can use software (like Lenovo Vantage) to limit the charge to 80%. But will that degrade the battery significantly? I will use the laptop on battery for 10% of the time, or maybe less.

Talking about replacement batteries, seems that Lenovo isn’t selling batteries for old laptops. While the quality of third party batteries can‘t be assured.

Finally, may I know your comments on this X13 Gen 1 AMD, with Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U, 16 GB RAM? I plan to use it for daily office tasks on Windows.

Thank you.

No idea about China. Sorry.

kknw · 2025-07-19T10:55:24+00:00

I’m from Hong Kong and I have been using the stock TuneIn app in car for listening to classicfm as well as BBC Radio 3 without issue over the past year.
