I’ve seen anecdotes (with evidence of emails or a BFM tweet) that banks are starting to charge transaction fee for duitnow transactions. I haven’t seen anything from CIMB but I’ve seen RHB and OCBC. Anyone else?

At this point I feel mostly better (loss of smell though) but clearly get winded very very fast, and considering RTK pun still positive, I might be infectious enough so I don’t know if it’s worth going out. But stress cos sharing space with family members so I really can’t do a lot of the usual chores. Still, impressed by how well my body membiakkan this virus 😑

I’ll try and see - or maybe I’m just very … viral

🥴🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Henlo I am still positive on COVID RTK even after a week 😭

Lol: https://journa.host/@jeremybmerrill/110894894974135811 - New: Elon Musk’s Twitter (now “X”) is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes. Five-second delays on links to New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay. (Then link to wapo)

Yeah, stay on twitter. It’s so useful for discoverability.

From article:

X, the company formerly known as Twitter, will no longer allow advertisers to promote their accounts within the platform’s timeline to attract new followers, according to an email to advertising clients obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: Promoted accounts — or “Follower Objective” ads — generate more than $100 million annually in global revenue for X, a source familiar with the company’s business told Axios.

Promoted accounts are one of the oldest ad formats offered on the platform. The ads appear as text-based posts within the X timeline and include a “Follow” button for the account promoting them. But follower ads, while easy to sell, are static. They don’t leverage any of the multi-media tools, like video, that X is trying to lean into.

Details: In a note to clients on Aug. 10, an X representative said the company planned to start “depreciating the Followers objective” ad unit beginning as soon as last Friday.

The representative wrote that the change “comes as part of a larger effort to optimize the X experience by prioritizing content formats.” They further noted that given client’s strategies are reliant on the followers objective ad unit, X — in the weeks ahead — "will work to identify alternative routes to meet these goals. As of Monday, the Followers Objective was still listed as an advertising opportunity on X’s business website.

What they’re saying: Asked for comment, X acknowledged that the company was depreciating the ad unit. It said it’s made recommendations to clients to try other types of ad units, including engagement campaigns, which put an advertiser’s name and account at the forefront of an ad, and reach campaigns that allow advertisers to pay for additional ad impressions.

pasang radio, and just discovered this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjWjFXgobBc (Saixse X MK K-Clique - MALAMPAGI REMIX)

does anyone know much about malaysian hip-hop scene? i’m so curious, especially after finding out Def Jam set up a SEA office also.

The longer you wait the more it looks sus (re: police report), but best of luck. Hope you guys resolve it soon.

If the phone is logged in under an account he has access to, brick that phone. ETA: doesn’t even need to be that evil, if telco acknowledges he owns the phone, ask if there’s some way to deactivate the phone or something

If everything is under his name, from this point on treat it as theft:

• cancel sim
• lodge police report
• bring police report as support document as you go in person to the service centre. No need to tell long story - just say someone took your phone under contract so what can you do. Might still be on the hook for something, but establish the phone has been stolen

Ohhhh new source, tq!

Tq!

Where’s the go-to to check results?

Check your blood pressure as well

Jeez, what assholes!

One is more formal/polite (payudara) and what you’d use to describe it to a doctor, e.g kanser payudara

The other one is more vernacular and informal and if you don’t know the person you probably shouldn’t simply use it or you just sound like a pervert or a scolding person e.g kenapa baju terbuka sampai nampak tetek kau ha??

IF you have a piece of fine gauge wire OR fine tipped tweezers, you can try again, BUT I can’t assess your mechanical skills so I say leave it for now because I have no idea what’s the state of the reader pins in that slot now.
