https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupportgore/comments/5tmoyx/client_was_upset_her_iphone_wasnt_working/ quote:Couple notes about this "iPhone". - Client had no idea what she had. Bought it from a local swap site days ago. She had noticed things wrong with the phone but decided it wasn't a big deal. - Battery is swollen, popping out of the frame, which prompted her to come in. The charge port holds on to the lightening cable by nothing but pure hope, so it barely charged, and has since given up altogether. - Back case is thin, all components on the top half of the device. - It boots (visibly) into an Android system, but then opens its "iOS" - Chinese. Very Chinese. Customer actually had a complete Chinese playlist in her phone and left it there. Most stock apps won't open, or will open with a Chinese replacement. - The dimensions are just slightly off, it's just a hair larger than its original. - They did remember pentalobe screws, but those too, are a knock off. Too round and much too short. big time bisexual posted:you're going to be power washing the porcelain off your squatter the next day Ups_rail posted:Haier what happened with that lesbian?

Met my Sister the other day at a dessert shop somewhere near Mong Ko. My Aunt who has no filter or subtlety crowbars out that my sister is married destroying the well laid plans they both have to break the news to me when I was to see the both of them. I had sort of worked it out before hand as there has been a lot of hints but I wanted to keep the surprise in my head for them. She married a Kiwi White dude and I couldn't be happier as they have been going out for the pass 10(?) years and he is an awesome bloke I would gladly have as a Brother. They are looking to have a reception both here and in NZ, but the timetable is measured in Fusion will be ready for commercial use in 10 ~ 20 years. I hope when it does happen I can bring Dad along back to Hong Kong as he has not been back for quite a while. Met three of Sisters friends who she plays board/card games and sings at a choir with. They are like flaming gay like a forest fire. From the look of things gays are nominally accepted in Hong Kong so it doesn't seem too bad however like LGQTB(?) everywhere they are in a constant battle to get equal rights or to even maintain the rights they do have. One thing a noticed about their apartment other than the fact it is huge capable of hosting 2, maybe 3 families other than themselves is that the moment you step out the hallway looks like any other buildings hallways. It is dusty, a bit half assed placement of the tiles, paint is just slapped on things. Windows are never cleaned, basically no one gave a poo poo the moment it was constructed. My bargaining skills are a bit rusty though so while it is enough not to get ripped off, I am paying sticker price. That said I would be arguing over a dollar or two which I quite frankly value my own time over. I will drive a hard bargain if it is a big ticket item. I was look for computer parts and a curious observation came up. Everything is priced other than the top end item like a Nvidia GTX 1080 for example. It is done this way so A. You have to ask for the price hence force to engage first. B. They get to do the "If you have to ask the price you can't afford it" C. Doesn't let you compare prices so easily in hopes they can exhaust you enough that you just buy the loving thing. There are multiple Golden Arcades here that sell computer parts and other specialty items, and within that the shops break down into their own specialties. There would a laptop shop, a headphones shop, a graphic cards shop(Many of these), CPU shop, motherhood shop, you get the idea. All done no doubt to maximize the use of their spaces. In a oddity which took us all by surprise when we walked in to a particular gaming arcade we were told it was for 16 years olds or under instead of the other way around. This confused the three of us enough that we couldn't parse what the attendant said until he repeated himself, apparently the entire arcade. Comes to think of it, I had been to this arcade before and even played on the old school machines in the exact same place for decades that should be in a museum pieces considering their age and would do well at auction given how unique and somewhat historical they are. The pollution is slowly getting to me as my nose bleeds a little every day in a small enough amount that it clots before I notice it, but it is getting worse as each day passes. For those who don't know there was an arson attack in the MTR(Subway) a couple days ago and the whole investigation has been a clusterfuck face saving exercise that make 300lb doughnut inhalers look professional. They send 100 policemen, a 100 fire fighters and they send in the SDU(Think SWAT but more Army/special forces which they have run in the background of new broadcasts. They flip back and forwards as to whether it was a terrorist attack or not. They smear the guy with every rumor you can think of. They don't seem to know the facts of the case had they conducted a normal investigation instead of playing security theater. If they had a tank and could get it into the MTR they would have done it. Having spoken so much English yesterday when I went to buy some medicinal muscle strips I kept crossing my languages resulting in the classic Charlie Brown teacher talk. Then me and her husband on our search for some specific items went into a "Japan shop" where my language center flipped out as I was trying to parse English, all three types of Japanese writing, Cantonese along with what little traditional characters I do know while taking to him in English. I have more to type but I got to head out to see Po Po for Yum Char.

For the golden computer arcade, just bring up newegg on your phone to double check any price they give you. At the end of the day you have the money, they want your money, and if it's a bad price who gives a gently caress that they might not sell to you if you don't want it anyway? But if you agree to their price after checking trust me they won't not sell to you. Or just check before you talk to them? Pollution is worse than a couple of years ago, noticeably so. The reason I picked HK over the mainland was pollution avoidance, may be getting to the point of saying gently caress it and skipping town if it doesn't start getting better soon

I have been wanting to take one with me wherever I go in Asia because a personal location-based reading is better than relying on websites. The city I will live in in India next does not have any AQI readings, and the closest station is about 60km away. Unfortunately, being in China, I feel like I can't quite rely on the stuff I would buy here.

There's one called laser egg by a company called origin that a lot of people I know have. Dunno how much it is or how accurate, but it does seem to generally follow what the us consulate says for the outdoor readings and whatnot so it's probably an ok barometer if nothing else.

Find something made in a white country wow im super racist something like this https://www.amazon.com/Dylos-DC1100-Standard-Quality-Monitor/dp/B000XG8XCI made in the US and used by many people successfully to detect black mold spores. you can find them used for around $100 since people get rid of them after they stop detecting whatever they were trying to fix Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Feb 14, 2017 |

I said something about the USA being similar size to China (in terms of square Km), and she got triggered pretty hard. The best part was that right before this she was complaining about how there is no freedom in China to do what you want to do and everyone must be the same. EDIT: To save face she said she meant China was only geographically united for thousands of years. I have no idea what the gently caress that means.

We came back to work yesterday after the month-long holiday to find that mice had laid waste to the office. My coworker had left some snacks in her desk- no idea if they were sealed or not, but I had mice find and chew through a sealed bag of peanuts earlier this year, so it's possible. So much mouse poo poo. My coworker was scooping it out of her desk with a paper cup, there was so much. They even chewed through her computer power cord. My desk was mostly empty after my own infestation earlier this year, but I still had to wash poo poo and piss off my books, throw away a tree's worth of handouts/emergency teaching materials, and wash everything down with undiluted Dettol. They had somehow managed to poop in between stacked books; I have NO IDEA how they even did that. Another coworker's headphones got chewed through. Literally every desk was full of poo poo and had to be emptied and washed out. We had to throw out our supplies by the bucketload. It stinks in here. it loving stinks. Also, I got kanrenao'd so hard this morning that the starer lost her granddaughter. I walked one way with this woman gawping at me open-mouthed, her granddaughter toddled off in the other direction. After I crossed the road, I turned back to see Grandma still staring at me and the baby all the way down the block and heading for an intersection. Good thing it's just a girl or that could be stressful!

This government agency: http://www.aqmd.gov/aq-spec/evaluations/summary has done some real testing by comparing the readings from consumer devices with professional monitors over several months. A bigger r^2 value is better. Most of the reviews I saw on tech sites are nothing better than "I put it in my house and saw the numbers go up and down".

Tell her it's a tradition for employers to give their employees a pink slip on Valentines, as a symbol of appreciation for their hard work. They then give them some time off (starting with that day) to spend with their loved ones.

Haier posted:The truth: Because I am saving money and I also have student loans, I gave myself a budget of 3000 per month (100 per day) for fun stuff and groceries. It doesn't go very far in modern China (especially in Shenzhen), and when the billionth person wants to go out for a 200 RMB meal where they expect you to pay then I feel it's not worth it. Especially when there are others that willing to go walk up a hill or go straight to bed without requiring a series of money-spending blah blahs, I would rather do that or get a meal offered to me. A good post.
