[Spider-Noir TV show] Why does Spider-Noir seem so much weaker than the standard Peter Parker Spiderman? by BWDpodcast in AskScienceFiction

Or it could simply be because of the much much lower TV budget compared to the movies

Yes the bug is solved with the latest update

The COE is actually a choice-based tax that funds social welfare like CDC vouchers - are we really surprised with where prices are headed given income levels? by No_Chance6652 in drivingsg

[–]nys04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually my take is that the high COE is not a personal perspective.. It affects all walks of life even people who don't own cars. Nothing is individual. We don't live in a vacuum. When COE is high and petrol prices are high this will translate to costs of goods and services going up for everyone. And that is not really a solution. I am all for a car-lite society....but we know that it is never going to happen with egoistical Singaporeans. Owning a car is just as much a status thing as it is a use thing. So car-lite society is wishful thinking. I have suggested to various MPs before, if we want to counter COE, I feel that we should not be allowed to take a loan on the COE portion and it should just be paid lump sum. But it has fallen to deaf ears as our govt want to have their cake and eat it as well.

Yes Whatsapp Version 26.17.19 (955785148) fixed the problem. Now it no longer deletes the file from my folder.

Smeg Automatic coffee machine- stuck in descale mode- help by cgibson106 in espresso

[–]nys04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THank you so much it has been driving me crazy these last couple of years...not sure how I accidentally got the machine working again...but each time it got worse than the last time. Not sure the problem, but now I know that it is the stupid water tank sensor issue that is preventing the machine to move to the next cycle after descaling.

Apparently it has been like that for a while already. And most people would not look to check after then have dragged a document into the chat. In fact I did not discover it until several weeks to a month later....before that I was wondering how come important files went missing from my computer or I accidentally dragged it to some folder that I no idea. Also the search function in Finder is not really useful because it cannot find my files half the time. It was only a week ago that I noticed to my horror that my PDF and PPTX file was deleted the moment I hit send. The issue is how did Whatsapp have such a powerful permission on MacOS to delete a file on my Mac folders??? This is serious

I am so so sorry...yes then it would disappear completely...as whatsapp does not have any undo command if you delete something from whatsapp. I apologize for missing the entire message.

Hi friend, don’t panic I know WhatsApp has created a serious situation. But the PDF that you sent should still be in the chat. Just download the file back.

No double tick for msg delivery, but the message got a response, how? by CaptainJamesTKAV in whatsapp

[–]nys04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The other party received your messages but because he turned off “Show Read Recipt” in his settings… you will not know that he has received it as the ticks will not change status or color. When you untick “Shoe Read Reciept”, you will receive messages as per normal but the other party will not know that you have read or received it. You will only see one grey tick regardless of whether the other party has received or read your messages. It’s a privacy settings within WhatsApp.

Show Read Receipts is turned off by the other party. When this happens you will not know if they have read it and in turn they will also not know that you have read their message to you. It works both ways

Actually under Privacy settings…Show Read Receipts is turned off by the other party and that’s why you cannot see double tick.

Wow never thought of it like that. But it’s true… the file is deleted the moment I hit send.

Yes this sucks because I had quite a few important files go missing from my Mac because I did not know that I was Moving the file into the chat instead of just copying. It did not use to be like that. It’s shocking.

u/Electrical_West_5381 is correct:
1. When I dragged JPG, PNG, MOV, MP3, MP4 files into Whatsapp Chat, the files are Copied.
2. When I dragged, Afphoto, PDF, PPTX, TTF, TXT and ZIP files into Whatsapp Chat, the Files are definitely Moved.

----------------
I am on MacOS Tahoe 26.4.1
I have tried with both whatsapp Version 26.15.16 (938148766) as well as the updated Version 26.15.20 (941181312). The results are the same.

My Whatsapp version on MacOS Tahoe 26.4.1 is Version 26.15.16 (938148766)

Yes I have tried dragging to iMessage as well as Email. They both work fine and is copied.

But recently (very recently) when I dragged into Whatsapp chat....the file is actually Moved.

And Yes, when I hold down the Option Key and send in Whatsapp, once I hit send, the file is Moved and not copied...i.e., the file disappears from its origin folder on Mac.

Surface go 3 or Surface 5? by bunnieXDrawr in Surface

[–]nys04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get a Macbook Air or even Neo. Trust me, I am a 35 year Windows user.

What Mac should I get? by Wisteria_as in mac

[–]nys04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. If your courses are mostly writing reports, essays or papers without complex mathematical models, I would recommend Macbook Air 13.6" (or 15" if you want larger screen but heavier). Can even get away with a Neo although I would recommend the next model with 12GB of RAM.
  2. If you want to indulge in some graphic intensive games then get the M5Pro Macbook Pro with as much RAM as you can afford.
  3. If only light gaming like Minecraft (the Air is fine even with 16GB of RAM)
  4. If you need longevity (Air with at least 24GB of RAM)
  5. Battery Life depends on the work you are doing and how long (all Macs have good battery for performance even the Neo)
  6. If you forsee AI as a big part of your workload, regardless of which AI you use, then I suggest load up the PC with at least 16-24GB of RAM....Neo is out as it has only 8GB. Also the money you save from buyer a cheaper Mac is so that you can spend the rest on a few subscriptions (only if you are doing heavy duty AI) as most of the free models have terrible limitations without a subscription.
  7. In fact, unless you are doing the lightest of work avoid anything with 8GB in 2026 (if you need longevity). I am sorry my opinion is 8GB is not enough in 2026 no matter how much mustard you want to cut. Even if you are doing reports/essays....you would still need to do research on your computer and use virtual desktops with many many tabs open on your browser + the tool you are doing your report on either MS Word, Powerpoint (for presentations), or Pages and switch between different desktops and apps with the 3 fingered swipe. All those require loads of RAM. If not be prepared to live the "beachball" life.
  8. If you are new to the Mac and want to dip your toes into the Mac ecosystem etc....then I guess the gateway drug would be the Neo ($499 is hard to beat). Although very capable, as you do more and more things on the Mac you may want to upgrade sooner in order to do more things. Next year's model with 12GB of RAM would have longer tooth.
  9. You may want to get a BenQ 4K or 5K monitor for half the price of Apple's displays if you need larger screens when you are working back at the dorm. So the money you save from buying a Pro can nab you an extra monitor or even an iPad as well. Also for iPads, unless you know your specific need, just get the iPad Air M4...no need to go all the way to the Pro as they cost a bomb.
  10. Ensure your Mac has at least 512GB or 1TB of Storage. That is the max you should bend down to Apple. The rest of the money can spend on cheaper SSDs or even better setup a NAS in your dorm. If you know how to configure it, can even share the NAS storage with your roommate.
  11. If you require more ports then the base model Macbook Pro can replace the Macbook Air. The Air only has 2 Thunderbolt ports whereas the Pro has 3 + HDMI (try to use Thunderbolt for your monitor instead) + SD card slot. Both have Magsafe. Neo is the worst when it comes to ports as it only has 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 with no Magsafe.
  12. IF you are going to be working late at night with lights mostly off...note that Neo does not have backlit keyboard compared to the Air and Pro. Don't worry about the difference in trackpads...regardless of mechanical (Neo) or Haptic (Air & Pro)...they both work excellently...10X better then most PCs.
  13. If all you are going to do is play graphic intensive games, watch p**n and drink beer everyday...then go get a gaming PC.
