A simple program can permanently activate any Win10 version's digital license. I don't think philanthropist Bill Gates cares that much anymore if digital licenses can easily be patched.

I've taken the courtesy to upload the activator:

After patching, here's a shortcut command to check if your machine has been permanently activated:

Press Windows logo +"R"
type "cmd"
type "slmgr/xpr"

Was that what you've been doing for the past month and a half? Sitting in back of buses from start to terminal stations watching the world go by?

Welcome back. Sorely missed.

You should take on GK's offer to be one of the mods. Negotiate for company stock options.

"Travel card" you mentioned requires 20 deposit. Rules have changed. They can now refund your 20 deposit at any metro station without deposit slip, as long as the card is not torn, has a hole, or edges damaged.

Ishmael, remember the lonely nights when you prayed to Zeus in the wee hours, seldom if ever receive response back?

Click back several pages to refresh memory lane of whining.

Yet now you're blessed in almighty dialogue with Rhea, mother of the gods. The Titaness herself has come down from beyond Mt. Olympus, gracing us with her godly presence, gifting us mortals with the promises of new mod(s) and developer to upgrade website design and functionality.

And still, you are discontent. Rambling on about vague and impractical issues to ad nauseam.

How about showing some appreciation and respect for once? Mother of Zeus, your prayers have been answered.

Don't type in all caps. That is equivalent to yelling in a real cafe.

Spam button won't come to fruition. It seems GK management is unwilling to re-code website functionality. (edit: stand corrected)

GK isn't your modern day tech firm with a team of programmers on standby. Rather, they rely on more traditional, human touch.

That said, volunteer moderators have been the formula for successful maturation of forum milieu for decades.

Way to go GK staffers for enacting this change.

Question:

Is said volunteer a regular poster here or a newbie? Will his or her mod badge be visible or remain undercover?

May I take this opportunity to nominate @herenow, @tigertiger (cold turkey?), @JanJal, and/or @lemon lover as additional volunteer mods.

Over the years they've proven to be level-headed and passionately loyal to GK with slight undertone biases, but no harm no foul.

Apologies for missing any names worthy of mention.

As the The_Dude said, use Baidu maps. It works for most bus routes in major Chinese cities. May not be pretty, but quite handy.

Also john-doe hit the nail with AMAP, aka the popular Gaode Ditu (高德地图) to the Chinese:

Typing pinyin would suffice for directions from A to B. Click "路线" (bottom right) and select different modes of transport:

"Easiest Mode, Taxi, Car, Public Transport, Bike, Walking, Plane, Train, Shuttle, Motor Bike routes, and Truck routes (in order of left to right)."

More detailed English instructions on how to use the visually appealing Gaode Map:

I presume the Tiger family is currently feasting on a data buffet.

Service providers will likely offer separate family packages that allow sharing of data, like the current 80G family plan as advertised by China Telecom.

This of course will be more costly than above mentioned single plan shared privately with others,

Another caveat is that phone users are also banned from passing their mobile phone numbers to others. This Dec. 1st regulation may prevent you and your family member(s) from sharing SIM cards linked to one account. Thus, curtailing unlimited data usage by multiple users. Big w$n for telecom providers by blocking this loophole.

Ishmael, flip side is that scammers engaged in phone and internet fraud will hit a roadblock when this facial recognition safeguard is put in place nationwide.

It would be a logistical nightmare to hold multi-city military parades. Military representing all three uniforms protecting Yunnan's sw border already had their own thing in Kunming. They congregated at the people's freedom monument hall arriving on bus loads. Packed house.

Perhaps tactfully change "promoted" to celebrated. Refrain from being an acrimonious guest to your host. Untimely, especially on their birthday night, which begun with fireworks to boot (booming in the distance as I'm typing this), and well deserved I might add.

70 years may appear like a lifetime for individuals, yet fleeting for populous nations. From overwhelming poverty to global success story. Hundreds of millions of souls with job opportunities to feed themselves and their families.

Pausing your country/ethnic/political bias for a moment as fireworks light up the night below the same crescent moon seen 70 years earlier. We as one human race can collectively celebrate and ponder on this glimmer of truth, craters notwithstanding.
