What? That is one of the crazier takes I've seen. RAM upgradibility is so much better, never heard of RAM disconnecting.

There's that, yes, but downside for me is that Valve doesn't release hardware officially in my country and it always gets inflated by middlemen when it goes on sale here. So the value on offer goes down by quite a bit.
Fuck me, what MRT ride takes more than 1.5 hours? I've done Tampines to Admiralty before and it was less than that.
You need to travel more, perhaps you'll appreciate our public transport some more. There's a reason why you're not getting support here. You're just sounding like an entitlted person who wants a luxury mode of transport in a small city state that's already pretty crowded with cars despite the stupid prices on them.
To add to the other comment, COE has multiple categories, 106k is for cars with 1.6L engine displacement (or a certain amount of power for EVs) and above.
Sounds like a lot of young men in Singapore (I kinda used to be like that, so I know that feeling). Once they travel a bit and learn more about the world I hope the entitlement will wear off somewhat.
You do know how small we are right? Even with COE and ERP we still get traffic jams, and they can be quite bad during peak period.
Still the same for me, and they've added some routes that improved the reach and accessibility. Trains are the same as always, and they're way better than they were in the 2000s.
There was a period in the 2000s when the metro was under maintained and profits were maximised (fuck you Saw Phiak Hwa), where there were times even at 10pm I couldn't get on the train because they were so packed, thanks to horrible intervals between each train. Said undermaintence lead to some pretty bad breakdowns (for Singapore anyway) around the mid-2010s . Ever since then they've increased maintenence, decreased interval times during both peak and off-peak periods, and more lines were also added, though some of them were already being planned in mid-2000s.
The bus system has also improved when they moved to a hybrid model, where government tenders for operators to operate the bus routes, so there's private and public aspects into it.
While not perfect, it's definitely better than the mid-to-late 2000s, and I'm really grateful we have it.
That's great, just hope they live up to the promise. I remember having a Note 3 with swappable batteries, but 3 years later all I could get was crappy 3rd party batteries.
Is that from GSMArena's review or elsewhere? Their test wasn't very promising, I have to say.
What the heck, that sounds painful. Full brightness is only needed when outdoors in bright sunlight. I leave it to auto brightness and it's usually at 25% or less when indoors, regardless of screen or phone. Are you sure your eyes are ok to require full brightness on a phone all the time?
