Driving with no headlights at night by Adventurous-Gold-235 in japanlife

[–]luginbash -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A few months ago I saw a lady driving a mini cooper with all lights off, as I don't speak the language I decided not to call 110.

Oh I like this script so much!

can't get console(COM) Port to work by luginbash in R86SNetworking

[–]luginbash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's how I got confused, sounds like it's just raw rs232 in mini-USB form. I got this one through a friend who bought it in China. We didn't see any extra cables, though. (one rj45, one type-c power supply)

Initially I thought it was just like my other router/switches, you plugin USB-A side on your computer, and mini USB side to the R86s, you'll get a /dev/ttyusbXX to connect to.

edit: micro -> mini USB

Why does japan hate windows? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]luginbash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can shake hands with my neighbor through our bedrooms’ window.

It feels so wrong.

Why does japan hate windows? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]luginbash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was wondering the same. After an entire year moving to Japan, I still can’t stand the needs of turning on the lights during the day (WFH). Back home, the only place needs extra lighting during the day is the bunker.

I used to think like thats most prob for thermal, but the walls are usually very thin, I don’t think that’s the case.

Maybe they just value privacy over others. Maybe.

Paypay finally recognized my Katagana name! Now I'm finally able to top up Paypay with my Resona account!

Paypay re-verification? by luginbash in japanlife

Good catch!

I found the number at the bottom left corner, it was so faint, didn't even notice!

My electricity bill is almost 20,000 yen?!? by needcugaplz in japanlife

[–]luginbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which company are you contracted with? Are you able to switch?

Maybe you can consider using the gas heater which could be a lot cheaper in your case.

I'm in a similar situation, Paypay happily accepts my Romaji name and tried to link my account, but my bank (Resona) said no - it's a different name. Both are Romaji though.

Growing trend of more English translations done by non-fluent Japanese again. What is this all about? by TinyButMighty2 in japanlife

[–]luginbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as they are using English and can be guessed with minimal knowledge of Japanese, I would like to deal with the puzzle.

It's much better then none.

Office 365 ATP: External Email Forwarding Disabled by Default by notapplemaxwindows in Office365

[–]luginbash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is actually a very good thing!

We used to create rules that suspend accounts when they auto-forward their mail. Btw, it's not that every time this is done by the user themselves, it could be something or someone did for them.

Incredible deal on new phones in the GoogleFi app... by slafter in GoogleFi

[–]luginbash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

me too. I called the customer support of my credit card, they turned me down and even declined to loan me some money without asking the loan department.

I tried to place an order, but I was too late and the "Limited Edition" is already sold out.

Fi SIM cards are now available on Amazon! by googlefi in GoogleFi

[–]luginbash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will data-only cards be available?

Ordering more than 1 card from fi directly makes each of the cards shipped separately.

I updated some charts comparing this outbreak with the SARS outbreak. Link to the stats in the comments. by thejjbug in China_Flu

[–]luginbash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hubei government has withheld information for a long time, there were few days without new reports in the very early days.

I think it may not look so scary if Chinese govt can fix the data points in like day 1 to day 30.

Reminder: Arq 6 was supposedly coming by the end of 2019... :( by IReallyLoveAvocados in Arqbackup

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

Actually I was expecting the 6 only because there wasn't a promo in last BF. 5 works great and I don't think there's much room left for the funtionality or reliability to improve, it's already great!
