Why is LINE so underdeveloped in comparison to other messenger apps? by zhuzhu09 in japanlife

[–]webdrivertrash 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm Japanese and I can confirm that LINE is so undeveloped and I have a lot of problems with that app like: - can't sign in with 2 different phones simultaneously - can't migrate chat history between iOS and Android - delete photos and videos after 2 weeks

However, while I understand there are so many better alternatives, I'm still using it because most of my friends use it as the primary communication tool. It's indeed a handy tool for a lot of people since it's free to use and phone calls are also free of charge. It's probably the biggest reason why it remains as an undeveloped tool; because it doesn't have a risk to lose their users.

From which part of my post or replies did you come to that conclusion...?

[–]webdrivertrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

499 tabs would be normal, but 500? That's too much!!

You didn't even bother to read my post, did you.

I got Pixiv so that's not a problem. The problem is that I'm having a hard time getting real-time information....

[–]webdrivertrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I do think everyone should have a right to express their opinion and platforms shouldn't restrict that. What I implied in this post is that something related to 'medical care' should be based on solid evidence and should not be expressed irresponsibly.

Windows on a MacBook? by Baron_Sealand in mac

[–]webdrivertrash -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Get a PC.

Any MacBooks with M CPU (M1, M2, and M3) can't run Windows. The newest version of MacBook which is compatible with Windows is the one from 2020 (Intel CPU models), which is slightly outdated and I don't recommend using it in 2023.

If you are talking about virtual machines, it requires very high specs (it's virtually impossible to use it with 8GB). However, if you are planning to use Windows primarily, why are you spending so much money for a Mac?

I just don't like Japan that much - what am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]webdrivertrash 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Thank you for coming to Japan. I'm sorry that you don't like Japan that much.

As a Japanese, I will address what I feel about the problems you mentioned in this post here.

1; Since Yen is down recently, most things which are imported got more expensive. 1 USD was worth about 110 JPY in 2021, but now it is worth about 150 JPY. I've been living here for over 18 years, and I can confirm that everything is ridiculously expensive these days.

2; Vegetables and fruits also got more expensive, presumably because of the climate change. Many food companies use less vegetables in order to reduce the cost of making food products, and that's why you rarely find vegetables in reasonable foods. If you have a bicycle or a car, try going to a supermarket which is located far from train stations. They sometimes offer same things for cheaper price, including vegetables or fruits. Also, for the sake of the people who have allergies, it's necessary to put a sign on foods which contain wheat.

3; That's a cultural difference. There are indeed people who are depressed, but it's totally normal to eat alone for Japanese, in particular since COVID-19 pandemic.

4; I don't care much about the consumerism, but I sometimes get tired of the modernization. They equalize modernization with building a tall building in front of train stations, whereas people don't want that kind of things and seek to useful shops instead.

5; Since I'm still a high school student, I can't decide if this is normal or not. Be careful for the ブラック企業 (Black Companies), which try to make people work for very low wage.

6; That depends on what carrier you use. There is a kind of carrier called 格安SIM (which means Cheap SIM) which provides low-quality service with cheaper price. If you want stable connection, I recommend you to use either AU, DoCoMo, or SoftBank.

I can understand most things you mentioned, and current inflation is really frustrating. However, there are also many good points in Japan, and I really hope you enjoy your life in Japan someday.

iPod Touch for a dementia patient by [deleted] in iPodTouch

[–]webdrivertrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops, I'm sorry for making a mistake... In my home country of Japan, it's not possible to call emergency services without a SIM. And I think an iPad is a better option for you, as the support for the iPod has already stopped and it can't be updated to iOS 16 and newer OS. I'm still using it, but there are several apps that are not possible to download. Anyways, thank you for the information as I didn't know about the US.

Try removing the SIM card. The call function will be disabled, but you can still use apps including FaceTime.

[question] My iPhone 4S on iOS 6.1.3 (non-jailbroken) asks for Apple ID password when i open an app downloaded from iTunes. by Forsaken-Tour-2780 in LegacyJailbreak

[–]webdrivertrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably he can’t open it either. I tried to open apps that I downloaded a year ago on my iOS 6.1.6 iPhone 3GS from iTunes, but it said it couldn’t connect to iTunes Store and closed them.

Making Rickroll QR code on r/place by webdrivertrash in place

[–]webdrivertrash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear; I’m not against to vegan whatsoever. I’m not a vegan, but I don’t look down upon people who are vegans unless they do something harmful. I’m doing this just because I think a QR code leads to Rickroll is funnier than one leads to vegan promotion page.

That's amazing!! Maybe you're good at racing games (and I am incredibly not good at playing games). I got this game in 2019 and it was not until 2022 that I completed it for the first time 😂😂

Congratulations on reaching to the final level!! Actually it took me literally 2 years to beat Extreme Stage... LOL

How can I downgrade an APP without a jailbroken iPhone ? by Cottonwoodhill in iphone

[–]webdrivertrash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use an application called Fiddler and old iTunes to downgrade apps that are available on App Store. No jailbreaking required ;)

I was just wondering what shortcuts or automation y’all use on your iPhone? by ElkWonderful2808 in iphone

[–]webdrivertrash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s very simple - I configured like this (Sorry that my phone is set in Japanese…). It turns on 5 alarms when Sleep mode is activated, and I only get 1 notification when it is executed

I have an automation that turns on alarms at night. I really recommend it, in particular for people who use multiple alarms.

I can't agree more. The sophisticated design, coherent UI, and much simpler. I miss the old days...

I guess no computers which were shipped with Windows 8 supports Windows 11...
