That's a bit embarrassing

2017-06-12 15:37:07 UTC  

I hoped to have found some obscure single board computer

2017-06-12 15:37:28 UTC  

its on the first page of amazon if you just look up "sbc"

2017-06-12 15:37:31 UTC  

so no :(

2017-06-12 15:37:34 UTC  

You're in Taiwan?

2017-06-12 15:37:45 UTC  

@red yes until October

2017-06-12 15:37:55 UTC  

Nice! Hope you're liking it here.

2017-06-12 15:38:28 UTC  

How is it compared to true chinkland?

2017-06-12 15:38:36 UTC  

I've been here a few time already and I love it. Are you Taiwanese? @red

2017-06-12 15:38:43 UTC  

Yeah.

2017-06-12 15:38:59 UTC  

It's like a clean, democratic and civilised version of China with actual human beings @icecream

2017-06-12 15:39:15 UTC  

@icecream I think the people are nicer but I'm very likely bias

2017-06-12 15:39:15 UTC  

With Kaohsiung being the most amazing city

2017-06-12 15:39:46 UTC  

That sounds neat.

2017-06-12 15:40:13 UTC  

I haven't been to kaohsiung in a long time. It's a manufacturing hub so I bet there's plenty of good chink shit there

2017-06-12 15:41:29 UTC  

May I ask in which city you live? @red

2017-06-12 15:41:34 UTC  

Taipei

2017-06-12 15:41:36 UTC  

I just get stuff at guanghua or through ruten, ahaha

2017-06-12 15:42:01 UTC  

weirdly enough, shit's often cheaper through the english chink sites

2017-06-12 15:42:16 UTC  

I don't know Taipei too well but I get lost easily there since my Mandarin is just basic

2017-06-12 15:42:38 UTC  

I prefer Kaohsiung. When there are only two metro lines, chances I get the right one are 50%

2017-06-12 15:43:00 UTC  

Ahaha, that's true. The MRT is huge

2017-06-12 15:43:33 UTC  

Kaoshiung has the weeb-tastic KRT girls though

2017-06-12 15:43:52 UTC  

What do you mean?

2017-06-12 15:44:10 UTC  

Anime mascot for the metro rail system there

2017-06-12 15:44:27 UTC  

I follow a few japanese on twitter that came to taiwan specifically to go there

2017-06-12 15:44:39 UTC  

<:umaru:232470184445607937>

2017-06-12 15:44:46 UTC  

i'm looking for a powerbank
banggood refunded my order, citing some regulation regarding batteries, gearbest won't even let me order. what to do?

2017-06-12 15:45:08 UTC  

Ah the anime girl on all the metro signs? @red

2017-06-12 15:45:15 UTC  

Yeah

2017-06-12 15:45:45 UTC  

My gf always stands next to the signs, tries to mimic her and puts a photo of it on Instagram

2017-06-12 15:46:46 UTC  

And once she did so nearby a toilet and got problems because you may not take photos nearby the toilet

2017-06-12 15:47:04 UTC  

lol, yeah

2017-06-12 15:48:03 UTC  

Are there really "camera detection systems" or do the signs lie?

2017-06-12 15:48:10 UTC  

And if yes: how does this work?

2017-06-12 15:48:13 UTC  

sensitive issue since there used to be people who would put hidden cameras in the toilets, they have comprehensive systems in place to detect those now though

2017-06-12 15:48:46 UTC  

Was it a big deal when this happened?

2017-06-12 15:49:07 UTC  

I haven't seen them in action myself but they would probably just be a radio receiver that scans whatever frequencies the cameras leak

2017-06-12 15:49:33 UTC  

I'm not aware why cameras should leak different frequencies if any compared to other devices

2017-06-12 15:50:00 UTC  

But if it works, it's cool

2017-06-12 15:50:34 UTC  

I know you can detect certain electronics like that, maybe it's based on what they transmit? not sure
