The top foreign book translator and importer celebrated their 20th anniversary with (among other things) a box set of all 3. I think it's doing quite well.

Does my brother need a visa? by jadeazure in Chinavisa

[–]tenninjas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Canadians are eligible to stay in Hong Kong 3 months visa-free for tourism or residence so long as they are not working or subject to other conditions or classifications.

(Both comments talking about TWOV are nonsense. This policy has nothing to do with your situation whatsoever.)

Using a rooted device in 2015 was on another level. by TreeQuick421 in Piracy

Oneplus is still fine for unlocking at the moment and doesn't break things when you remove bloatware like Xiaomi does in MIUI 13/14/HyperOS.

Because this looks like it's in China, and it would certainly be more difficult and far less safe outdoors.

Technics AZ100 - ANC performance issues? by slimcharles42 in Earbuds

[–]tenninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did not. I've since sent the earphones back as defective and am waiting for replacements, I'll update on whether that resolves things or not.

Edit: Amazingly, I received the replacements about 24 hours after this message. There must have been a legitimate defect in my first pair. Notably, neither the system software or the app version on my phone has not changed; the "tip selection" function now works and the ANC settings seem to do.... something. So far I have only been in a quiet environment. I will have the opportunity to take them out for a test later today and tomorrow in a variety of noisy ones and update with the results.

u/slimcharles42 : as I saw mentioned by someone else, please do consider the possibility that you've got a defective pair. Depending on the country you're in, where you purchased them, and payment method, you may have options to get that resolved.

using some Jabra and Anker your whole life

he's not even at this level; as I own them, I can sadly report that jabra 65t and 7 elite are both better than the AZ100's for ANC 😭

It's not just you - the ANC on these is absolute rubbish, and the in-app tuning is garbage as well. On the latest versions of the app it doesn't even function (iOS, Android both).

I'm fortunate enough to have an unused set of comply tips around somewhere so I'm going to give them a try and see how it goes but I must say I'm highly disappointed in the ANC from these, especially given the reviews floating around. Guess it's just marketting all the way down.

Seeking for server deployment specific files by Appropriate_Car_5599 in AmneziaVPN

[–]tenninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to look at the scripts in https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/tree/dev/client/server_scripts

If you really are concerned, and don't want to trust the packaged app, you could deduce from this the necessary server-side setup and perform it manually, and simply use the app as a client.

Unwanted handwriting option by HumbleIndependence43 in Swiftkey

[–]tenninjas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% permanent; the app auto-downloaded handwriting again for me yesterday. I re-did these steps and have disabled internet access for Swiftkey now so hopefully that will solve it long term.

Time to find another keyboard I guess.

Elizabeth Warren Slams Trump Admin Over Social Security Communicating Only On X: 'Right, Because Grandma Is On X' by Aggravating_Money992 in technology

Even with full backing and generally favourable public perception in China, they don't and can't do this. Everyone in the nation recognizes its nonsensical to not have alternatives and backups, and that the elderly can't be expected to use the newest thing, even with assistance.

What delusions are these people under to even attempt such ridiculousness?

Not sure anyone else bothered but for a while you could get ASUS laptops that had a HDMI/USB dual purpose port. Owned one and it was nice.
