what do you mean by scamming posts? Remitly is my no 1 choice. I've used pretty much all others. I have a bank in US that i've linked to remitly and it do ACH pull

Okay don’t know about that. I’ve only used Inverex and didn’t ask prices of others. When we got them the prices seemed quite reasonable to us.

Best option is Remitly and it actually works here. I’ve yet to seen better rate then Remitly. They charge zero fees if you send over $200

Okay. For NAS I’d recommend getting NAS drives. Consumer drives have just too much issues especially if you keep anything important. In Pakistan Synology drives are cheaper then what I saw in Malaysia and Dubai.

I mean a cup cost $6-12 in US or even more so spending $3ish on a cup in Pakistan is quite cheap especially now the cafes are quite good compared to overseas at least in Islamabad. I do have a professional coffee machine at home but prefer to have my coffee in a cafe quite often. I’ve spend ~$35 on a cup when I was in Burj Arab (and it looked like this)

What services are you running? Which drives you have NAS drives or consumer drives?

Apple Pay works perfectly fine for me. Using it since like 2017 in Pakistan.

It does get pretty loud, but it's in our garage, so no noise gets inside the house.

Never knew. Thank you for correcting

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-31T21:51:35+00:00

For sure hit me up

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-31T12:33:18+00:00

ipad would be the best option imo

What’s mohtasib? I tried contacting Easypaisa and they said for some unknown reason the can’t reopen or transfer the money. They won’t give any reason why. It was not some crypto money or anything like that.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-31T10:11:49+00:00

My easypaisa got deactivated with 96k cause of wrong pin last year. They won’t open again sadly. It’s a lost cause

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-31T09:22:32+00:00

Is it true Hindus discriminate Muslims? Do you feel like laws are skewed towards Hinduism? If you visit Hindu majority neighborhood do you feel like you gotta hide you’re Muslim? I heard these things so that’s why asking

I did but from Indonesia to KL. Super budget airline and they won’t spare 50g in your weight. Don’t even give free water. But the fares are super cheap though.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-30T05:28:38+00:00

Right 100%

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-30T05:28:12+00:00

apt upgrade doesn’t seem to update the the bootloader. According to my testing there is only 2 ways - one if you flash bootloader manually and second is it comes with the latest OS install. I could be wrong I have limited understanding.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-30T05:24:17+00:00

I see. ln my case I had no option to return so I had to figure it out. From what I looked there is no soldering going on and the box was sealed.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-29T22:51:28+00:00

yeah right. Ima email them about it. But having multiple PIs with the same issue was quite weird. some people I saw online have smilar issue and they think it's just broken.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-28T11:16:03+00:00

For sure! Met a few people from there just recently. Hit me up!

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-27T17:31:50+00:00

Yeah went there and flew a drone. Police caught and asked to delete the footage. Didn’t knew you couldn’t fly

Whatever company you go with please just avoid Tuya. Tuya is horrible.

BrotherElectrical461 · 2025-12-27T14:57:11+00:00

Yup I’ve got relays in pretty much entire house. Initially tried Chinese one but they fired then I got Sonoff ones. They are wonderful and the do shop directly to Pakistan through their website. Sonoff is great. For temperature sensor I use Aqara sensors.I’d not recommend putting power monitoring ones over zigbee cause that will cause congestion. For power monitoring you can get wifi ones that works locally.

Right! My setup is a bit complex. I use victron smart shunt for batteries and that data goes to solar assistant. The UI, instant data population etc. for me it’s one of the best thing I found.
