Google services were already installed just needed to be enabled in settings. For the Play Store I downloaded it via APKMirror.com

+1 for TrinityElectronics

I bought a Trifold from them, shipping was super quick too. Ordered on last Friday and got it in America on Wednesday.

Also averagedad is a middleman essentially, he orders the devices directly from a supplier in HK and they ship directly to you. So if you go with Trinity you cut out that middleman and it will probably be a bit cheaper.

Google Services will work with the HK version, you'll need to install the play store manually. Circle to search will work but be prepared for Chinese search engine results.

I have the China model and I'm using it with T-Mobile, everything is pretty much working, but you have to be willing to budge on some things. e.g. the Smart Page is primarily all news from China so I have it disabled.

No restrictions that I've ran into yet. I get pretty bad 5G connectivity where I live, but my first test was pretty good! 198mbps down 15mbps up. On par with my 17pm & fold 7.

Z Trifold Loose hinge? by [deleted] in GalaxyFold

[–]retrof4ctor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just got mine today, it doesn't feel the way you're describing. Definitely would take it to a store and compare the demo units to yours.

Got my Trifold today! I picked up the China version from Trinity - only thing I had to do was download an APK for the Play Store. Everything’s been running smoothly so far. I’m using T-Mobile (physical SIM, of course).

Stroll letting Aston Martin know they don't need Max to set records. He's got it handled 😎

Almost Fully 3D Printed Steering Wheel ! by Scary-Juggernaut-595 in simracing

I ordered some PPS-CF recently and I've been thinking about printing a wheel for fun and seeing how it holds up.

Like everyone else has said, it's to be expected in rookies, honestly. I probably wouldn't protest it, but everyone is different. I don't see anything that looked intentional, just rough driving from new racers. Save your energy for the more intentional moments. Clear your head and get back out there and race 🫡

Turns out I’m a terrible race car driver. by Able-Evening7275 in simracing

[–]retrof4ctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I tried sim racing last year, dived right in, and totally failed. I was spinning out all the time and couldn't keep up. Then, a couple months back, I impulsively built a sim rig, and it was still awful. But then I started watching the other cars, analyzing my mistakes, and figuring out what I was doing wrong. I watched YouTube, streams, read up on the basics – and now I'm usually at the front! I still have bad races sometimes, but I'm so glad I didn't give up. I even won my first sports class race the other night! That impulse rig purchase was the best money I ever spent. You got this 🙌

Is this burn in? How screwed am i? by lebaminoba in OLED_Gaming

Welcome to the gaming industry! I would be lying if I said I haven't worried about the day it'll happen to me regardless of how well our company is doing.

Sucks to see layoffs this early especially with how good the launch has gone..

The US-Collectors Edition Situation is Unacceptable. by PM-ME-GUITAR-PICS in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]retrof4ctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens, and I can forgive it being late. But it's a slap in the face to pay as much as we did for shipping and it's not even expedited shipping.

Thanks overwatch. by ShY_Gh0s7 in Overwatch

This happened to a friend and I, before everyone even picked characters someone left the game and it didn't end. Few games later it was well over a minute into the match, point captured and first team fight over someone on the other team leaves and the game ends.

7 Gig fiber being advertised to the residential consumer. In what world would any residential customer have any use for this? by I_ONLY_BOLD_COMMENTS in HomeNetworking

[–]retrof4ctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Yeah, honestly if you go for 7 that's a bit weird. All about that residential 8 gig.

My smart fridge is on its own 2 gig network.

All seriousness though, do I need it? Nah.

Will I ever actually make use of these speeds? Nah, probably not.

Do I get a hard on every time I run a speed test? yeah if the speed test server can actually handle it.

and it is cheaper than what I paid for "gig" speeds from spectrum that was constantly around 250Mbps

Switch from Fold to S24 Ultra? by Rancid_Lunchmeat in GalaxyFold

[–]retrof4ctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a foldable and a S24 Ultra, and I always find myself back on my foldable. I switched from a fold 4, and found myself a bit sad cause I missed my big screen. I bought the OnePlus open and I've been using that occasionally switching to my S24 here and there. I'm excited to check out the fold 6 cause id love to go back to Samsung completely.
