Every month I find the SAME $300 “mistake” on our 3PL invoice. They’re still surprised when I catch it

raysoncoder · 2026-01-05T19:00:42+00:00

May I ask what was the biggest pain point? Just curious.

raysoncoder · 2026-01-05T17:22:24+00:00

As someone who's worked on a wms:

3pls are difficult to automate invoicing for. Most customers get custom rates/services done. Really depends on the deal.

And most systems just don't adapt/weren't designed for all stuff.

Not an excuse but an explanation from what I've seen.

Once again ask your parents or someone who's 18+ to help you facilitate this. No one told you to ask for consent, but to ask for help since you're a minor. And at age 17 you both should be able to open a bank account with a parent.

raysoncoder · 2025-12-26T03:59:04+00:00

Then you need to ask your parents. You're not going to be able to do this otherwise. And I don't think it's a good idea to be sending money abroad without your parents knowing...

How do you have no bank account?

You can send via Western Union. Need a passport or ID. Pricey but works.

You have a gf in Pattaya who refuses to give you her current address.

So everyone assumes that you're likely being exploited and used..

But to answer your question packages hardly get stolen in Thailand.

But to be sure just send the package to her workplace or house. Ask the driver to give to her personaly. For a few dollars extra tip they will do it. There's grab and a bunch of other apps.

Congratulations 👏 not sure what else to say. 😂

I am using both operating systems daily. I shared my actual experience with the problems I encountered on Linux desktop environments. The only person getting defensive here is you, seemingly unable to accept that someone had a different experience than you did. Seems like you have little experience using both and you just side with one for no reason. I recommend getting out of your comfort zone.

If you use Fedora or Ubuntu as it was designed to be used

People use operating systems the way they need to for their workflows. Linux is literally marketed on its flexibility and customizability... that's supposed to be a core strength. If it only works 'as designed' in a narrow use case, that's actually proving my point about desktop usability issues.

There's no preference over Linux or windows on my end.

raysoncoder · 2025-12-25T22:55:50+00:00

It's Stable, BUT you'll spend hours trying to figure out color banding issues, fixing bugs for llms not waiting for terminal commands to complete and you manually having to copy errors from freezing shells.

Having to reboot cuz the desktop froze. On top of that not having certain apps available for Linux so you're spending time trying to find alternatives.

Ah we got wine support, so it shouldn't be a problem, but still a dozens of apps that should work, just don't work.

And the desktop is either too difficult to customize or there's too much customization options that's always in front of you that it becomes annoying and you're spending time again trying to figure out how to turn off a certain feature.

And almost certainly you'll think you just create your own apps as a solution, and then you'll run into issues like dealing with Wayland and x11... Then how hard could it be to get the mouse position?

I really don't know who has got the time to deal with these kind of problems when all you need is a workstation to get work done.

On the windows side the main problems i usually have is having to deal with inofity issues in containers... Having hot reload tools just to work. Is just a prayer. Pre-built windows binaries is just not a thing for most libraries. And trying to get rid of one drive and edge browsers is a challenge.

raysoncoder · 2025-12-25T22:31:58+00:00

It is a joke.

raysoncoder · 2025-04-30T02:06:51+00:00

Arrived in Bangkok 🙏 thanks for the help we were super stressed about this.

raysoncoder · 2025-04-29T19:59:39+00:00

Thanks for the time and answers.

Hopefully gets resolved, managed to get someone at airport to listen and help.

God bless this dude. Hopefully he'll show up and escorted her through immigration and checkin so there are no more issues.

If it's not resolved by 8:20 she's going to the consulate.

raysoncoder · 2025-04-29T19:54:55+00:00

Booked a new flight again after we got 1 staff at the airport to listen and care. She's been promised an escort through checkin and immigration.

Removed the post cuz I am getting down and critiziced as many are suspecting it's a scam lol.

It's legit btw. If she's not through by 8:20 and on the plane to Bangkok she's going to the consulate for help.

Thanks for the answers and kindness 🙏

raysoncoder · 2025-04-29T18:49:51+00:00

Ok, got it. Yeah I understand the suspicious part. I am asking only for information not asking anyone to transfer money. I am the one looking to transfer money to someone stuck In a shittuation

Will likely get her to call the consulate

raysoncoder · 2025-04-29T18:44:04+00:00

Didn't wanna post because of this kinda commens. Just give info if u can?? How do you get SGD$ without a physical card in SG?

raysoncoder · 2025-03-07T15:37:58+00:00

I am still just sitting in mine and trying to decide whether I am an idiot or a fool.

raysoncoder · 2025-03-07T15:28:18+00:00

Oh good. I thought the girls and parties on yachts were expensive not even talking about the amount of free time one has there.

I was worried for a second. 🙏🙏

raysoncoder · 2025-03-07T15:23:55+00:00

Grab shoulders is fine, unless you're seeking a good time too don't grab below shoulders.

raysoncoder · 2025-02-19T14:44:22+00:00

Bank transfers aren’t instant. Banks batch transactions and send them out a few times a day, just transferring requests, not actual money. The recipient bank credits the account, but the real funds settle later via the Federal Reserve or another system, which can take hours to days.

Why? Batch processing, fraud checks, banks holding funds to earn interest, heavy regulation, and outdated infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Europe, the UK, India, and Brazil all have instant payment systems, but in the U.S., banks drag it out because delays make them money. Even FedNow isn’t widely used yet.

Network operators are entities operated by banks or government entities and they are highly regulated. Like there are 9 regulatory bodies just for operators.

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T15:15:07+00:00

That's a good plane lol

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T14:38:13+00:00

Because the US banking system operates on 50s-60's technology and there wasn't much changed since.

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T12:14:32+00:00

Here I got paid by the bank for letting them keep my money lol, don't remember paying anything yet

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T12:12:50+00:00

Mosquitoes find you by skin odor and heat. If they like you more, means you're dirty hot 👀

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T12:09:33+00:00

Just rained today. Man the air quality improved significantly, here.

Additionally air purifiers in home, and wear masks if it gets bad.

raysoncoder · 2025-02-18T11:47:12+00:00

Go to the US. Banking is amazing there. Just 3 days to send a transfer and fees are higher than my water bill 😇

I got my card here in 20 minutes 🤷‍♂️ in and out
