Gotcha. Thanks!

Could you share more on this?

I recently tried UpNote which is pretty cross platform.

Maybe give that a try and if you like it, they have a lifetime license.

(I'm not affiliated with them but I've tried every major note taking app and recently landed on this one that I've been pretty happy with)

Ah ok. Well congrats on your new purchase! Whenever you feel you've got a good handle on it, would love your thoughts.

I actually use a Samsung tab S5e and am considering upgrading. How is the P11 Pro Gen 2?

I have a similar situation. Have you thought about submitting feedback to Apple regarding the issue so they can take the scroll bar into consideration and subtitle placement? https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Could I ask more about it? My wife is an iOS user.

To confirm, are you also toggling the Japan region for searches?

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on the place. If it's some small bakery or something, I will ask them if they accept credit cards or any cashless options, and if they say cash only, I will leave. I want management to see that offering multiple payment options matters.

I always have cash on me, of course and there are places I need to use it, such as the cash-only discount drug stores, local clinics, etc. But most of my daily stuff can all be done with a credit card, smartphone, cashless, etc. Restaurants are a toss-up if you're not in big cities.

Appreciate you sharing more details about SBI Shinsei! Just out of curiosity, what do you use Sony Bank for if SBI Shinsei is your main?

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's good to know. I was considering MUFJ a while back but ended up opening accounts with Sony and SBI Shinsei.

 

I wanted to mention some good Japanese banks for those looking:

SBI Net Bank: If you can read Japanese, this is one of the best UIs and mobile apps around. You also get a ton of free furikomi transfers per month (I think I have about 10)

Shinsei Bank: A physical bank but also offers online options with an English UI for those that need it. This seems to be the go-to recommended bank for expats.

Sony Bank: I have this bank specifically because all incoming international money transfers are free, meaning they don't charge you any fees to receive it. SBI used to charge be about 2500 yen every time I received international payments, even in yen. Shinsei has a system where they reimburse you each month if you have a certain amount in your account, so international money transfers will eventually be almost free.

How about you? What banks have you been happy with?
