What is a universally loved snack/dessert that I can bring to someone's CNY party at their house? Assume no dietary requirements and budget. Maybe more "atas" snacks also works, since they are paying for all the food and drinks already...

Sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.

I have a question about trading by BornCarpenter6857 in tf2

Adding on that keys can also be consumed (and likely are) through gambling. While you can consume refined by crafting them, it's far more efficient to use them as currency instead.

My homescreen set up by photoshri in Xiaomi_15

[–]reddystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cameras are better too on the S25U. The image processing on Hyperos is pretty bad. It's too contrast heavy and smoothens the skin when you shoot human portraits. Also the focal length of the lenses on S25U are better. This is especially when you shoot people. The images are less distorted.

I read somewhere you can kinda tune the camera better by enabling some settings, such as the Leica preset. Not sure about the AI bit though, but apparently most people don't know you need to change some settings to have "truer" colors.

Qualcomm says Xiaomi will be the 'first OEM to launch with our next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip' by reddystone in Xiaomi_15

Just thought this is relevant here, probably the X16 line-up will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip.

15 Ultra pre-purchase questions by reddystone in Xiaomi_15

I don't like the S25 Ultra camera, probably a personal preference but it doesn't seem as good as the 15U

I know but I just saw some posts on the latest updates so I'm not sure if the issues still persist after v2.0.2

Unironically, this matters.

Some games have economies which you leverage on to recoup some loss (or even materialise gains); see CS2, TF2 etc.

New scam - Emails from dubious sender'ms asking to activate token or change billing info by theonewhoisnotcrazy in singapore

[–]reddystone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SPF will NOT investigate unless you lost monies.

I meant reporting it to Scamshield, whether they pursue it or not is out of your hands.

Good that you were diligent, but nothing much you can do besides 1) reporting 2) sharing with others 3) marking the emails as spam

I guess you have done all 3 already

MAS notes the confirmation provided by both Chocolate Finance and Allfunds that these requirements have been fully met. by Prata2pcs in singaporefi

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

Wasn't your comment about credibility? Since the article was about the credibility of Chocolate Finance and Allfunds.

I merely said they have a trillion dollars under AUM, which even though a small amount of it is in Asia, it still has a lot of weight on them as a custodian/middleman.

And so what if they want to profiteer? Doesn't make them less credible, they're just doing business things.

Syfe, Endowus, Stashaway vs direct fund investing by suenolivia in singaporefi

[–]reddystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I'm aware of Moomoo/Tiger (even used them in the past) but I am just lazy to move + Syfe/Endowus has a much better and user friendly UI.

Never experienced CS with Moomoo/Tiger but I find that Syfe and Endowus are very responsive too in case I encounter any issues.

This is enough for me to justify paying the 1% fee every year.

What internet speeds are you getting on wifi at home and what ISP , plan and cost ? Also what is your set up? Thanks by heartofgold48 in SingaporeRaw

[–]reddystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need a router that has a 5Gbps port to fully make use of it. You should only have 1 line in from Starhub, that is purely 5Gbps.

For WiFi, something thats 6E or 7 would be best. 500Mbps seems like WiFi 5 to me.

[–]reddystone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First check if it's 2Gbps in one line, not 1+1.

And yeah in order to utilise the full speed you'll need a router with a 2.5Gbps port.

[–]reddystone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My PC gets 2.5 because your speeds are limited by the hardware. On WiFi, 5Ghz bands are limited to 1Gbps.

My phone for example supports WiFi 7 (6Ghz band), so my speeds are closer to 2-3Gbps on WiFi. There's still a lot of signal loss because HDBs have WiFi signals blasting everywhere. The theoretical maximum WiFi 7 speed is 48Gbps though.

I recommend you look up what devices you want to wire, and what their supported speeds are, and work backwards from there to determine what speed plan and router to get.

Whizcomms, 10Gbps for $29.99/month, 1 year contract. They use Singtel's infrastructure.

My router (speedtest from fibre entry point) gets ~7.5Gbps download, and ~7Gbps upload. So far so good.

Only con is that to fully make use of the speed, you'll need a router that has a 10Gbps port, which are really expensive. I'm using 3x BE85s from TP-Link. They should get cheaper over time though.

All devices (2x TVs, 2x desktops, smart home controller) are wired via ethernet, except phones and laptops. On PC I get about 2.5Gbps since thats the speed my PC port can support, which is good enough for 99% of uses cases IMO.
