UPDATE
After my redmi9t shut down (deadboot) yesterday, I decided to drain the battery 🔋 by pressing down the power button and using a rubber band to hold it in place. I left it like that for several hours. I could tell the battery was really draining cuz the phone was mildly warm as it would when in use for an extended period.
I woke up at 2:30am, removed the band I used to hold down the power button and tried to power up the device, lo and behold the phone powered up and started running the update.
My redmi9t is now up and running.

I got this yesterday, Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 5G, 256GB/12GB Chinese version, and I'm still trying to figure it out. For someone who hasn't used an Android phone since 2020, it feels strange, but let me see if I can enjoy it. If otherwise, I will discard it and face my iPhone in peace.

120W charger shocked

How fast does it charge?

Okay thanks so much sir

I tried to download Poco launcher on my note 12, but it seems like it has been discontinued.
I can't even find a good version of touchpal to use.
I'm so pained right now

Please which launcher would you advise I download? I also use Redmi

Poco launcher.

It blends perfectly with the phone and you won't even notice that you're using a launcher.
It also separates the home screen and menu

Phones › Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Gmajor(m): 12:46pm On Apr 03, 2023

I just a Redmi note 12.

As expected it's filled with bloatware and the UI is very boring.

I'd have to download a launcher and keyboard before anything else.

Says who?
Chris has suffered severe backlash even till now...
Some of it unjustly too

Backlash is to be expected.
He assaulted a very famous celebrity.
But his career is still fine.
He has a lot of fans who are more than willing to attend his concerts

Bye Bye e career.
Ezra Miller identify as lbgtq non binary. Therefore, he is a sacred lamb that most be protected at all costs.
Jonathan Majors is a rising young BLACK man in America, that committed the cardinal sin of assaulting a woman. He must be cancelled.
These two cases are not the same.

Most people don't like Ezra Miller.
And he won't appear in future DC projects.
The only reason he is in the flash is because the production of the movie had reached a point of no return so they had no other choice.
I'm surprised that you're playing the race card here.
After all Chris brown is black and he faced almost no consequence for what he did to Rhianna

MetroLane:
You also have to wonder why Simba and Kimba sound similar.

Perhaps a coincidence also

SMH.
Simba means lion in Swahili.
Initially they wanted to name the english dub of the animated series Simba but the thought it was too generic and so they settled for Kimba.
Yes. The similarity is a coincidence.

Fallacious claim. "Evil Dead" (2013) can't even lace the boots of "The Army of Darkness" (1992)" not to talk of the other two in the franchise prior.

I'm comparing the 2013 version to the first Evil Dead.
I prefer the 2013 version to the original

lol i barely want to watch them at home because i have found the recent ones to be formulaic, it's like they have exhausted all ideas. you have to sieve through a load of crappy low budget one's before you can even find the one that is remotely good. I don't think it's a progressive genre, imagine they are still on about a "Evil Dead" reboot in 2023?!. Infact, they have to be mixed with some element of the thriller sub-genre for the suspense and excitement.

IMO Evil Dead 2013 is better than the original.

for a more in-depth explanation of the Kimba-Simba controversy you should watch

its over 2 hours long.
But if you don't have the time or data to watch the full video, just watch the first 10 mins.

GloriousGbola:
[/quote][quote author=Kaycee7 post=121963884]It's actually a well-known controversy, sadly

When the Kimba vs. Simba controversy is brought up, there are two things I notice right away:

1. Most people have seen The Lion King but have not seen Kimba the White Lion (KtWL).

2. Most people think KtWL is a theatrical length movie.

So to address point 1.
Why would you even defend something that you've not personally watched?
I know that in controversial topics like this, it is easy to assume that people who are making the claim that Simba ripped off Kimba have already done their homework and as such must know what they are talking about. But, has it occurred to you that they may be ignorant or biased and as such, may not be telling you the whole truth.
A rule good rule for life is to not have strong opinions about any information you've not personally verified for yourself.

For the second point:
A lot of people think that KtWL is a 90ish minute movie, so when they see the comparisons like the one GloriousGbola Posted, it's easy to see why they'll say that Simba copied KtWL.
But kimba is in reality made of up a Manga, TV series and lot of movies which when totaled is more than 2000 minutes in lenght. Just keep that in mind.

This type of argument is like saying vampires exist in The Vampire Diaries and vampires also exist in Twilight, therefore, The Vampire Diaries copied Twilight.

In the same vein, when you're telling your story with animals in Africa, there will be similarities in shots and characters because the settings are similar. It isn't uncommon for common tropes to be seen in similar media.
So the fact that Lion King has a baboon and a parrot isn't really a smoking gun.

Moreover, the team that made the Lion King has always been open about where they got inspiration for the story.
According to them, they wanted to make a tale of Hamlet set in the jungle, but people like to cling to superficialities andclaim they KtWL was the real inspiration which is not true.

Now, let me bust your mind, the pictures that GloriousGbola posted are from the 1996 movie that was released 4 years after The Lion King was released on 1994.
It's likely that these shots exist because the Kimba team saw the controversy surrounding the movie also decided to cash in on it.
It's also good to keep in mind that Osamu Tezuka (the creator of KtWL) died before the Lion King was so we don't know what he thinks about this.
However, his son has come out to say that the Lion King did not copy KtWL

Shazam was not heavily marketed like Black Adam and the Flash movies.

Shazam has always been the bastard child of the DCEU.
Even the first one wasn't heavily marketed

Matrix - Ghost in the Shell
Black Swan - Perfect Blue
Lion King - Kimba the white lion
Pacific Rim - Neon Genesis Evangelion
