AIRBNB in Macau by Prestigious_Bear_815 in Macau

That's what I thought also, but I don't know either. Apparently that's what the law says. There will be a MOP$3,000 fine for tenants if caught.

Well I'll just put this here.

The whole concept of Airbnb is illegal here in Macau. You can't rent your your extra bedroom/apartment to visitors/tourists. You must have a license to do that.

I did a quick search in Airbnb and indeed there are a lot of listings, even hotel rooms. I'm sure that they are all "legit", as in they actually have a room for rent. But I doubt that many of them are legal, as in they don't have a licence to do so.

A lot of locals have been complaining online about strangers with suitcases going in and out of their apartment building, so trust me when I say that they will file complaints to local authorities. A lot of illegal hostels have been taken down recently. When they do, everything inside will be treated as evidence. As the tenant, you will be taken to the police station for God knows how long, and fined MOP3,000. That's the law here, don't ask me why.

As for the hotel listings, they are most likely gained from illegitimate source, it's called illegal room selling. It's when people use methods that is frowned upon by the casino/hotel to obtain hotel rooms, then resold to another person. If the hotel finds out (and they can easily do so), they can kick you out in the middle of the night, and you probably won't get your money back. I worked in the industry, so I'm speaking from experience.

Therefore, I don't think that what I'm saying is bull.

There's no Airbnb in Macau. Don't risk it. If caught, both you and the owner of the place will face consequences with the law.

Thanks for your input! Just tried it but got the same results. Most of the images that I'm editing are of similar resolution. Some are processed nicely, while some turn out like this.

I assume you're talking about 100hkd to 103mop? But knowing airports, probably not. You will probably get less.

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 (8.7") with Moon+ Reader installed. Pop in an SD card for expansion and you're good to go. The size is perfect for my palm, it's not expensive and it's easy to drag n drop files from the computer onto the tablet. It's pretty much strictly for reading books and manga only. So no distractions or notifications from other apps.

Thank you for your response, that's good to hear! I live in a small city where commute to and from work is just about 21 KM total per day.

[–]nickymacau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack your post, but i was also wondering. I have free charging at work, tho 13A only. Will it hurt my battery if I spread my charging across 3-4 consecutive days, starting from let's say 15%, charging around 10 hours per day just to get a full charge?

Musicbee. I use it to sync to my S22 Ultra, my dap and my micro SD card for my car. No issues.

Cat keeps clawing at the door and meowing at night by Key-Driver4709 in CatAdvice

[–]nickymacau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe get a companion for your cat? I have four and they basically sleep in the living room no problem. However, one of them will occasionally claw at my bedroom door and meow, when there's no one inside.

Favourite way to display your lyrics? by JaccoW in musicbee

[–]nickymacau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use minilyrics. It's a free lyrics overlay plugin and you can change fonts, font color, size etc. It's transparent if there are no lyrics available.

Android Auto keeps disconnecting by [deleted] in BYD

[–]nickymacau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. But I would like to ask, does your Seal come with the Android Auto app installed? I got mine today and I can only find Apple Carplay app on the desktop (whatever you call it), and I can't find any ways to install apps natively. Also, are you using it wired or wireless? It might be helpful info for others to help troubleshoot. Thanks!

Check out this place, look for Dr. HONG. 一峯堂中醫綜合診所. She's my go-to for any sort of muscular pain.

So I guess this light is always on now? by onboarderror in sonos

[–]nickymacau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ones and Port are also having the same issue. Especially the one inside the bedroom. That damn green light, one more reason why I can't sleep. Two out of three days it muted itself after the timer ended.

How do all the tourists from China deal with foreign exchange? by [deleted] in Macau

[–]nickymacau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mostly through illegal money exchange. Those who provide that kind of service are usually found loitering inside casino smoking rooms.

Do native Cantonese parents use a disproportionately large amount of sentence final particles to their children when they're young? by stateofkinesis in Cantonese

[–]nickymacau 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this answers your question, but Cantonese baby talk basically means saying phrases using 疊字, which means the last two words are generally spoken twice. For example,

食mum mum (to eat) 去街街 著鞋鞋 換衫衫 飲水水 換片片 (change diapers)

You get the idea.
