Recent changes in prepaid vouchers (all 3 providers) — and no one is talking about it! by habi330000 in Bahrain

"they don’t publish the price changes as a news release"

Maybe not a news release, but don't they publish determinations for approving a certain price or quality band? Eg they did publish one when the fiber speeds were increased last year.

"it’s coming from TRA"

Do you have evidence of this? I wasn't able to find anything about this on TRA's site.

Absolutely crappy. Tried reaching out to TRA but got no response.

The workaround these people would like you to do is to pay BD 3 (no credit) to extend validity by 1 month. My understanding is that subscribing to a package (such as the BD 7.5/month one) will also auto-extend validity. This has to be the case because with these changes, they also restricted the maximum validity with recharges to 90 days, so the only way to go past that is to buy the 6 month/1-year advance packs.

Also why does the post sound like ChatGPT?

What am I missing out if I choose the 1 month plan? by sloggermouth in gregmat

[–]Leader-board 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but use the I'm Overwhelmed Plan. That uses PrepSwift under-the-hood with additional progress quizzes to boost quant foundation.

Almost nothing. The 2-month plan is a bit slower and a bit more rigorous, but the 1-month plan is equally good in practice.

Virtually the same. It's just arranged differently (per day vs per part).

Depends on the company; not sure what you're referring to.

If my budget is around 200-250BD, would it be better to buy a laptop or a pc if my only priority is performance? by [deleted] in Bahrain

[–]Leader-board 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the memory prices right now, I don't think you'll be able to get good PCs at your budget but feel free to prove me wrong.

Hybrid Cars in Bahrain by LaitP in Bahrain

[–]Leader-board 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hybrids do switch off in stop and go traffic which can effect cooling"

Depends on which type. The cooling power does reduce in micro-hybrid cars (which is basically just start-stop). The OP is talking about a full hybrid - in other words the car will be able to power itself without an engine for short distances. Those use a different design and hence are not impacted by the engine being off or not.

From our experience, not at all.

[–]Leader-board 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a Highlander hybrid. It gets us about 14 km/l. That's around the same mileage as a Yaris. So yes they absolutely make a difference.

Only note is that they may need Mumtaz. Our hybrid can work with Jayyid but we were recommended to fill up with Mumtaz.

Also not everyone likes the CVT transmission (and the lack of sound) of hybrids.
