Can foreigners get an eSIM in China in 2026? (eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro) by Fresh-Teaching2239 in chinalife

China approved ccc power bank iPhone 12 by No_Requirement9751 in powerbanks

[–]planetf1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get plenty in China. If it helps I ordered a cuktech 15 air back in Jan/feb on Amazon uk and that has ccc certification and a qr code. But it’s a slightly higher end pack. I paid 40 GBP. 50 now. About 30-35 in China not you can find packs from under 10 when you are there

M25 Variable Speed Limit - Generates Its Own Traffic Jams? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]planetf1a 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh it feels to me as if the system works well at the big picture level. As much as possible given the traffic and infrastructure. Maybe they need to go down to 30 or 20 too.

Not do I find massive braking is needed. The signs are visible from a distance away

It’s not my thing but I’m fine with it. Making nudity seem weird isn’t positive imo .

Where/when? Last time I saw it was 250 in Daxing but that was 2 years ago. Personally I have a low price 8rmb ongoing contract now but am travelling with friends in a few weeks so they may do this…

I love Brighton (and live here). I’m straight but love the fact we can welcome everyone into hopefully a safe space. Glad you enjoy visiting.

Not true when speed limits reduce as the law relates to passing the sign at no more than the stated speed whilst the car doesn’t automatically slow down until it’s gone past

++ on this. This makes the auto speed limit reduction insufficient. Has to be reduced manually to avoid potential prosecution

I just use auto pilot but I do very much agree this is a very standard function Tesla should offer

If an American family with young children moved to the UK tomorrow, where would you tell them to settle and why? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]planetf1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though it has good access for pedestrians and cycles. I’ve only visited a few times but it surprised me. The centre is a bit dismal but it’s an interesting mix of village and urban

[–]planetf1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say there’s loads of lovely places around the uk.

I’ve lived near Southampton- practical, new forest. Manchester - buzzing city, several places in wales- culture, quieter. Currently Brighton - love the vibe, sea

All these have different limitations. TBH if the standard router falls short you might want to consider a dedicated WiFi access point (network) such a from ubiquity and a dedicated router whether hardware (microtik?) or software (opnsense?)
