If the settings in the phone are not set to receive Crisis Alerts, my Xiaomi phones are default off from the factory, you won't get anything.

This is sarcasm right? There seems to be too much biased US politics and extremist nonsense in recent years where none is needed on an ASEAN forum.

It’s time to face reality and stop sugarcoating the insanity. The real world just called and asked, “What the F*@% is happening in America?” Despite what delusional ass-kissers like Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessent, and Kevin O’Leary spew out daily, an authoritarian ecosystem is not one where free market capitalism can grow and thrive. This is not about America first. It's about the Trump family and billionaires first. The time has come for people in this country to grow a backbone, and at the very least, call out the pure stupidity of Trump’s trade war. Ken Griffin, a very conservative billionaire hedge fund CEO, aptly labeled this administration’s economic policy as ‘crony capitalism’. Nothing is less sustainable and more anti-American than country club capitalism. But don’t worry, the US is way too big to fail so that’s not the risk. The risk comes later. After this administration finds the least embarrassing way to create a positive narrative around trade and save face, how many economic cycles will it take before we can be trusted again? TSosnoff

I did a couple of transfers this week, each took about 5 seconds.

Yesterdays news.

Was your old phone also Xiaomi? Did you try any apps like Mi Mover to copy Home Screens across? I haven't tried myself, just curious for my next Xiaomi upgrade.

So you would happily go and see a US financed movie set in rural England produced in the US using green screens to simulate scenery in order to comply with a tariff agenda thought up by B-movie grade actor friends Voight and Stallone of the President? You probably give some of Stallones latest movies high grades as well I expect 🙂

I wouldn't give up your day job. Reviewing TV and movies not for everyone.

Well thats not true exactly is it? Skype Credit will remain active indefinitely as long as you use it at least once every 180 days. However, there is some truth to the March 2026 claim—Microsoft has announced that the 60 minutes of free Skype calls included in Microsoft 365 subscriptions will end on March 3, 2026. This applies to users who receive free monthly Skype minutes as part of their Microsoft 365 Personal or Family plans, but does not affect regular Skype Credit. So, if you purchased Skype Credit separately, you can continue using it in Teams Free or via calling.web.skype.com, as long as you keep it active. If you received free Skype minutes through Microsoft 365, those will expire in March 2026.

As the thread title says its all Angelina Jolie’s fault.

Chiang Mai wanted a copy of mine to get a re-entry permit last week. It's not a question of whether a TM30 is needed. Its a question of whether a new TM30 needs to be created. If you are staying at the same address and on the same visa extensions with re-entry permits no new TM30 should be needed. I show my several years old TM30 copy if asked at CW and its accepted.
