Ash in China

Alright; one complaint - the digital keyboards for English are a bit shitty, I hit the period button more than the spacebar. Any recommendations for dual EN/CN use?

Yeah I can easily get 475-500km out of my 550km battery by sitting at 100-110 on the highway; 120 seems to suck power fast but 100 is the sweet spot

Yeah revitalising Dongbei is gonna need a lot of efforts - moral, spiritual, financial, nationalism etc etc

Nothing more satisfying than watching a Cadillac ATS getting pulled over by the police as soon as he gets off the highway for repeatedly undertaking on the hard shoulder in heavy traffic

The people are nice but…… coming from the mainland those Taiwanese cities are a bit run down?!?!

Will research that

Yes! The iOS to Android swap over was maybe 10-13 mins tops for 256gb of info, super impressive

Beheading still on the books or not

The U.K. is starting by recalling its Prince, I guess

I can see that - lots of Chinese photography tech seems to love the use of AI to beautify or improve image quality

It was only opened a few days no? I’m friends with Xiaomi Spain people

How come all Korean presidents seem to end up in prison after their terms? What kind of democracy are they running over there

Need to figure out the vpn situation next!

Ok I loose access to CarPlay; but who cares? It sucks anyway. The only thing I will miss is AirDrop, but Xiaomi has a HyperConnect app for sending vids from phone to MacBook

At 67.99% right now - 256gb of junk....

its transferring right now - 14% within 3 minutes or so

6300rmb later, I’m swapping my IPhone 15 pro max to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.

Changed my watch from iPhone to Amazfit so no need to be as locked into the Apple ecosystem these days

Skipped my Chinese new year responsibilities and went out for a ride, I find the Qiandao Lake area to be really similar to Vancouver island, I need to explore more trails here so we can do a summer island hopping trip

China only (so far) long range plugin hybrid crossover, quite handsome

London calling 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Volvo XC70 looks quite handsome on the road

yes and no

Absolutely not a fan of it anywhere outside of temples

Alright tired of iPhone; time to buy a Xiaomi 17 pro max

they eat very well in Jiande, basically the Chinese spice trade from over in Jiangxi…….. but seems to have stopped in Hangzhou where they eat blandish food

I honestly can’t say too many bad words about Geely. They saw potential and gave me ten years opportunity to do whatever I wanted whenever i wanted.

A fantastic platform for anyone agile enough to deal with the chaos and excitement of a company going everywhere at once.

What an entity.

Dali + Lijiang are cool but have you heard of Jiande? 200km from HZ city centre and the former center of river trade in eastern China.

Sadly a little forgotten now, but still absolutely beautiful

Woah

It fits !?!

Perhaps - I researched it last year for a ride with a South African guy who dropped out
