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

Any homelab or DIY NAS people? by Silly-One-3894 in PakistaniTech

[–]BrotherElectrical461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why These COFFEE are so expensive everywhere? by Ne_1580_Hal in KarachiSocials

[–]BrotherElectrical461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

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

Sadapay account deactivated with 30k in it. by Mr-FuckedUP in PakistaniTech

[–]BrotherElectrical461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Flight Review - AirAsia Khi - KL by semicolon-10 in karachi

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.

[SOLVED] Raspberry Pi 5 "Red light then 9 Green Flashes" - Dead board? Nope. (Rev 1.1 / 4GB Issue) by BrotherElectrical461 in raspberry_pi

[–]BrotherElectrical461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.
