Some recent snaps in Hong kong (and one in Shenzhen).

All with HDF on!

Here’s a clean version of your Reddit post that you can copy and paste directly:

My Mitsubishi Heavy Industries SRK50EEC1 has died after just two years. It is blowing intermittent warm and cold air on the left side of the unit intermittently and warm air on the right.

While under a three‑year warranty, I called Mitsubishi and an engineer came.

He put it down to dust and dirt as the cause and told me to get it professionally cleaned. If it doesn’t revert to normal, get it cleaned again, and if that doesn’t work, top up the refrigerant.

So here are the symptoms I noticed when the engineer came:

1. Internal rust – The right side of the unit was showing visible rust. This isn’t normal for a two‑year‑old unit.
2. Low running pressure – PSI was only 100–120 when on (he claimed 140).
3. Low static pressure – PSI was 140–150 when off (he claimed 180). At 26–28 °C ambient, R32 systems should be 240–260 PSI.
4. HKD$3,000 fee demand – He said checking refrigerant costs HKD$3,000, even though the readings were clearly below spec (a leak is a mechanical issue, the readings already say this, why should I pay HKD$3000?).
5. Intermittent windy noise – He blamed dust, but dust doesn’t cause intermittent airflow. This is more consistent with evaporator coil icing from low refrigerant.
6. One‑sided cooling – Left side blows cold, right side warm. He blamed dust, but this is classic low refrigerant behavior (coil freezing on one side, starving the other).
7. Admission of a top‑up – He said if cleaning twice doesn’t work, I should top up refrigerant. But refrigerant is a closed system — topping up means there’s a leak.
8. Dismissive hotline conduct – When I called back, the operator admitted refrigerant doesn’t get “used up,” but still refused to acknowledge a leak.

My conclusion: This is a mechanical defect under warranty, not “dust.” Refrigerant pressure is objectively low, rust is visible, and the symptoms match a leak. Yet Mitsubishi Hong Kong is trying to push me into paying HKD$3,000 or hiring third‑party cleaners — which would void my warranty.

Mitsubishi, you need to do better than this. Your Engineer is clearly lying about my air conditioner, my previous unit also from your company lasted eight years.

This is of course typical of engineers in Hong Kong, they try to pass on the problem to someone else.

Does anyone have the audio CD for this book? Would you mind uploading it so I download it?
有冇人有呢本書嘅 audio CD？
介唔介意 upload 上網俾我下載呀？

Not literally silent anymore in this clip but this represents the majority of us who have been for the most of our lives.

Shoutout to u/Seafoodhater for showing me the follow up vid which made me find the original

Hi, I’m planning on visiting Hong Kong soon and would like to visit a few film locations. May I ask if anyone knows the location from these two movies below. I’ve tried googling but can’t find related content to this. Thank you in advance! 

Lost and Found (1996) for the first two photos.

Tri-star (1996) for the last photo

I LOOK LIKE A PENCIL

(1-3 original hair [before]
4 straight out of the salon [after]
5-7 home after nap [after]
8-11 reference pics)

I shaved my hair a year ago because of my mental health and I didn’t like how overgrown and bulky it looked now.

I wanted a bixie cut with volume at the back and wispy bangs— I tried to communicate this to the hairdresser but…. I ended up looking more like a mushroom by the end :( This was a Japanese hair dresser in Hong Kong and I paid quite out of my budget for it ($590 HKD), perhaps there was a miscommunication? Maybe my hair isn’t capable of looking like that?

I’ve always had a problem with speaking up for myself because I don’t want other people to think I’m rude or unhappy so I didn’t say anything. Instead I cried on the way home and took a nap. I really really hate how it looks…. I wish I had one good haircut in my life :(

I’m wondering if I’m overthinking this? Or if I’m not styling it correctly? Is it possible to fix this? Did my stylist misunderstand me or was under skilled?

I have painstakingly grown out my hair since cutting it all off during a mental breakdown which is why this haircut meant so much to me. I really wanted to look pretty and maybe own my short hair a bit. Because of my hair texture, every stylist I’ve ever been to since I have been born has never given me a good haircut as they’re not used to working on folks outside of pin straight hair. :(((( I’m really upset and I just want to figure out what to do now.

Hello guys, I have realized that cycling in HK is a pain in the ass as it is really hard to find where the routes are, with that in mind, I have created a biking map that could be opened via Google Maps with all the paths/trails–that are laid by the government–for Hong Kong and I hope that this would be somewhat useful thanks!

I do not earn anything out of this nor gain any benefit and everything is adapted from open source data so I don't think this is considered as self promotion; it also doesn't require you to download any new app as the map will automatically open in your Google Maps App or web browser.
