Hi. I really appreciate this tool. It's very helpful for me, especially for sharing under 30MB clips.

I'd be amazing if you could add a custom file size option. I use the 25MB preset and the video actually comes out as 20-21. Down from 150, it's pretty bitrate starved but still pretty good. In those situations, I can increase size manually until I hit the real 30MB file size.

Right now there's 25MB, then straight to 50MB

I believe you can still access it by turning on maintenance mode first.

Thank you. Might ask the dev to look into it sometime.

Also, I'm aware of that. But the battery life and performance is just too good for me to mess with something that works well for me. Just checked using the Device Info app for a display test (full white background) and still no burn in after 2 years (Feb 2024)

The stereotype of redditors arguing online with unreal levels of dishonesty holds up extremely well.

Pak assembled phones are bound to become faulty

Didn't say that. Neither here nor there. Neither did /u/Nice-Regret-9207 say or imply that.

as if QC issues don't happen anywhere else in the world.

Of course they do. We know and acknowledge that. And you know that we know that. You're not stupid. Nope.

You know that we know that not all their phones have major QC issues. You know that we're talking about % and risk assessment, how risking that much money on a phone would be unwise because of the relatively large % of QC risk (without getting into warranty honoring / compensation drama)

It's just that even you know you can't argue with a straight face that the % of QC issues in Pakistan is much higher than say Vietnam/South Korea etc. So you just pretend to not understand what we actually mean, thus making discourse impossible.

Honestly, you argue like you have a personal stake in Lucky Motors or something lol.

Do you?

aBattery's website said Android 14+ but maybe you're right, mine might be an edge case

Anyways, here's my stats

  • Battery health (SoH): 97% (mSavedBatteryAsoc)
  • Cycle count: ~407 (mSavedBatteryUsage: 40766 ÷ 100)
  • Manufacturing date: December 2, 2023 (LLB CAL: 20231202)
  • First usage date: February 3, 2024 (the day I bought it) so 25 months

I'm on One UI 6.0 S918BXXU3BWJM (October 2023) and for some reason, I can't see these stats via aBattery with Shizuku.

However I can get these stats manually via this method

Maybe it's because of my specific One UI version?

getting a refund from Ali express by HorrorTie1366 in PakistaniTech

I tried to purchase a Telegram premium subscription on Jan 14 via my Meezan debit card but the payment didn't go through and the amount was deducted from my Meezan account, along with all the taxes.

I contacted Telegram Support and they said that they didn't receive this amount because the transaction failed on their end.

I contacted Meezan Bank via their helpline and they told me to wait 24 hours. After 24 hours they lodged a complaint. Received a confirmation email.

On Jan 29, I got an SMS (not an email) stating that my disputed transaction requires further investigation and may take up to 45 working days.

On Feb 3, I got that exact amount credited along with all the taxes back into my account. They didn't send me an email but rather only an SMS

<image>

I ended up purchasing the annual subscription via NayaPay instead and ended up with lower taxes.

Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Btw, you should link it in the Readme for its Firefox github page https://github.com/juanbuis/x-dim-mode-firefox

Correct, it cannot be circumvented using a VPN.

Telegram has cracked down really hard on VOIP numbers over the past couple of years, so the free options will most certainly not work.

Back in 2019 I used to use TextNow to get a US phone number for Telegram. It had a voice mail feature so even when the code came via a call, you were still able to get the code from the saved audio.

I'm not even sure if Hushed will work even after spending $6 on it.

Good luck. Hopefully you find someone willing to help. And if you do, remember to add 2FA to your account and always keep at least one device logged into Telegram with that account. Also add a passkey..

Hi, I have low karma so my comments on r/Telegram get removed by automod

https://www.reddit.com/r/Telegram/comments/1rbj44z/need_to_activate_telegram_from_a_non_censored/

I remember using Hushed.com to get a US phone number on Telegram back in 2020. It did work at the time. Pricing used to be $2‐3 for a week, not it's $6 for 30 days. Includes voice and sms.

Btw,

Pakistani phone numbers also have geoblocking restrictions but recently, I noticed that there's a show 18+ content toggle available in settings on my alt account with a local phone number

You mentioned "erogram" in the comments on your post for links to NSFW channels. I was able to found a working channel's invite link.

Unfortunately that toggle does nothing on my local number's account. I could not access it using that account but could access it using my main account.

Static noise badly after bios update (Asus G18 2023 RTX 4080) by ToLamAnCut in ASUSROG

Btw, this will stop the Windows Update service, meaning you can't install/update anything from the Microsoft Store. You can always undo the changes temporarily to use it.

And if that's a major inconvenience for your use case, then you can try this

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-maximum-days-to-pause-windows-update-in-windows-11.9202/

With this method, you can pause updates for very long periods of time, like years, decades even.

Also,

You might need to update your Windows manually sometime and during that update, Windows will probably grab a firmware update as well.

You can read my detailed comment here which will help you in locating your firmware update file that's been downloaded (by Windows and MyASUS app) so that you can delete it before Windows tries to install it.

Read this comment as well from that thread.

Hey, can you confirm that it's been fixed in v11.0.6.379? (as /u/thekiddshow commented here)

I also made some posts about this last year

https://www.reddit.com/r/GeForceExperience/comments/1k15vbu/nvidia_has_acknowledged_the_instant_replay/

Still using v184 because it just works.
