"liquid glass texture" so they're copying Apple. And I do not like the sound of "let the AI".

With me a British expat living in China, and now seeing the current state of Android phones here, Including Samsung, it now seems the iPhone is the best and easiest device to use here now. I was able to sign into my UK Apple ID straight away on it, and installed all the Western and Chinese apps...

Something took me a little while to get used to with the iPhone. When making purchases with Wechat Pay,, I was instinctively going for a fingerprint sensor that's not there. The iPhone uses face recognition, which so far seems to be reliable. All the apps I used regularly on the Samsung, I've...

After 16 years of using Android phones. I bought a new iPhone 17. My Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra is starting to show signs of old age, the back fell off, the middle camera seems to have developed myopia, and the battery no longer holds as much charge as it used to. But it is the longest lasting...

Using TOR gives you anonymous browsing, where they can't determine what country, city, and ISP you're on (see screen-shot below). And some websites that use security services like CloudFlare might determine that anonymity could be a malicious bot, maybe doing a DDOS, or spamming, that why you...

An ATM that plays The Sound Of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel when you make a cash withdrawal. I don't suppose they receive any royalties for this.

I can't see that happening where I am, China. Where Android devices are very popular, but Google ("goo") has very little involvement and control. Maybe elsewhere that may happen?

I've never heard of this particular music app, and have no idea what that error might be? But were the music files on the SD card or your device's internal storage. If the former, could be the SD card has become corrupt and unreadable?

I can't believe how expensive the UK has become, for like everything. I'm currently in Didcot, Oxfordshire, go back to China in July.

I still use the S20 Ultra, no Samsung AI. And I'd never use Windows 11 now, because of Copilot.

Never mind the zipper, but that bag looks quite knackered.

How many Americans can find Turkmenistan on a map? Because, guess where I am?

I ditched Microslop in 2008, after Vista. Been using Linux and MacOS ever since. My computers are: 2015 Macbook Air (Intel) running MX Linux. 2020 Macbook Pro (M1) running MacOS and Asahi Linux Fedora Remix (dual boot).

Sometimes I never know if it's morning, afternoon, evening or night at airports.

For my darling wife...

Back in the early days of the interwebs it was often sending an email to webmaster@<domain of interest> You could still try that, you never know. But otherwise see if there's any contact information on the website that concerns you. Sometimes websites are created and maintained by internet...

Maybe check GSM Arena? Enter in what you desire and see what comes up. Have China phones become quite expensive in America now because of Trump tariffs?

Yeah, I often see that stupid Cloudflare thing, and I also see others. I never use Windows. Mostly I'm on Linux, and sometimes MacOS. Usually with Mullvad VPN, unless I'm looking at websites in China. I gave up with Reddit a long time ago, can never view that site. Even this site and forum...

If you submitted a bug report to Xiaomi, hoping for a fix to their obviously broken app. I wouldn't hold your breath.

I suggest that Mi Player is defective. When I tried it, all my albums showed alphabetical, and NOT the intended track order. I did mention it previously in this thread, this is a common problem with many Chinese music player apps. And I think I know the reason. From what I've seen, most people...

Means NFC is on.

Think I'll be giving this a miss as well, as I don't have a clue what's going on in the "Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe".

The Amish, or anyone else who lives in the 18th and 19th century?
