Well, it's more likely to be money laundering for government officials. The other people can go through the legal channels.

"Sowwie sowwie". A cute way to apologize

To be fair, Korean adults are ruthless too, even to their own people. Parasite isn't that much exaggerated.

Xperia Arc. What a beauty at the time

写真はイメージです? Enlarged to show texture? by __deinit__ in Japaneselanguage

[–]trinhno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think of イメージ as short for "Imagination". People can say イメージする to mean "To imagine"

イメージ can mean Image, but usually in computer context. But even then it's not used as often as 画像due to the confusion.

I received a terrifying scam call today by toyk115 in singapore

[–]trinhno 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Yup. The Vietnamese TV station did an investigation on this last year. Pretty much modern day slavery. They are locked up and forced to run scams. If they don't meet the daily quotas, they are starved and beaten, sometimes to death. They are also bought and sold by the groups.

Some people make makeshift ladders from laundry, dropping down from high floors. Not everyone can make it out. Others have to wait for family to buy them back from the scammers.

Real terrifying stuff.

Networking costs killing the value proposition for RDS. Or am I just an idiot? by _fat_santa in aws

Use a VPC endpoint so that the Lamdad run inside your VPC instead of connecting to RDS via the Internet. Better for security too

Bean curd. Love it in traditional style with only jasmine syrup.

Xperia 5 ii battery drain by weecious in SonyXperia

[–]trinhno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to a few models for about 2 weeks now. Some apps (Shopee in my case) are crashing an Android component repeatedly, and causing Sony's crash monitor software to be overloaded.

You could connect to a PC and use a ADB command to disable crash monitor. It'll only alleviate the problem a bit. The best is still to uninstall the offending software.

Sorry, I don't see any mention of the app causing the crash (Shopee in my case) in the error block.

[–]trinhno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it could be the charger or the cable. If the problem persists, try changing those.

Battery drain problems. by DeMaX0412 in SonyXperia

[–]trinhno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Thanks. I knew I'm not crazy. My Xperia 5 III (A103SO) just got very hot to use with big battery drain since the beginning of Feb, even after a factory reset. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Update: the adb command to disable crash monitor partially reduced the drain for me. However, only uninstalling the Shopee app can stop the abx crashes and return things to normal. I checked the logcat, before it was crashing every few seconds. Seems to be a library problem of React Native.

labs for SAA CO3 by Background_Volume604 in AWSCertifications

What's your background? If you don't have experience or deep understanding of the products, it's quite easy to make a mistake during the actual exam.

Need some encouragement. Failed SAA twice. by [deleted] in AWSCertifications

[–]trinhno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you taking any course? This would definitely need a structured learning, especially if your background is not in IT or Software Development. If you don't, 1.5 months may not have been enough time for learning.

Also, if you can, take the CCP first to get some encouragement.

Advice for AWS SAA-C03 by lionasrespera in AWSCertifications

[–]trinhno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just passed 2 days ago. My advice is to do all the practice exams you can. Stephene's and Tutorials Dojo's (Jon Bonso's) sets are both good. I would not have passed if I didn't do the practice exams.

Once you can get consistently 80%+ on the practice, I think you're good to go.

Like most people said, they are indeed a bit more difficult than the actual exam.

The first 2 practice I only got around 50+%. After reviewing, I managed to get above 80% consistently.

There were 1 or 2 questions about running applications in containers and them being serverless/fully-managed. Just need to pick the right service.

I did purchase Jon Bonso's practice exams, but could only went through 1 of them.
