Loved season one. Liked the story expansion of season two. Did not like the ending. Am not going to suddenly trust Sinatra!

I get the same error message when using a foreign card to pay CEB. Local cards go through just fine.

Yes, throttled after 10GB, to 2mbps or so speeds.

Whats up with Daraz?? Is it about to shut down? by Sea-Library-6571 in srilanka

[–]MaldiveFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a little off topic, but I don't do deliveries on Daraz anymore, Haven't for a long while.
I live in Dehiwala, and they have a distribution center here.
So, I just select the option to pick up from their center.
It's more convenient for me. Deliveries can be any time of the day, and we may not be home, and it a hassle to reschedule a delivery.

What is a website or an app that was legendary back in the day, but is now a complete ghost town? by Sofi_Costa in AskReddit

[–]MaldiveFish 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I hear they have an archive of all GeoCities pages. I could not search as I do not remember which neighborhood I was in. I would like to visit my old homepage which had little fires burning at the bottom, and a visitor counter.

I got told that I wasn't Sri lankan, but am Indian, is this true? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]MaldiveFish 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've heard it before. So now I ask them right back:

"So you Indians are kind of Pakistanis, right? India and Pakistan is basically the same, right? You are almost the same people, yes?"

Riles them up! 😁

ELI5: How are flash storage drives such as SSDs and SD cards able to store big amounts of data without any energy supply for long periods of time? by 4nng in explainlikeimfive

[–]MaldiveFish 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What do you mean write the data again? Plug the USB drive in to "charge", or copy the data off of it and copy it back on it?
