Topping up Paypal

vanguard_15 — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 09:04:14 +0800

Hi y'all, wanna ask regarding topping up Paypal using Maybank. I know that it's exclusive to RHB and that we can't do a direct top up with Maybank...so, what is the work around? If I use a Maybank debit card to top up, will it incur any surcharge? If a credit card, will it also have surcharge?

Scratching my head over this...feels like PayPal is so crappy for not being able to do such a simple thing as allowing all Msian banks to be linked and not hogged by RHB

Hi sifus,

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm looking for a budget outdoor CCTV and would like to get your humble opinions and recommendations on which is as better choice and why you think so?

Context-wise, the house I'm renting out got broken into, so I was thinking maybe its time to install an outdoor CCTV to give my tenant some peace of mind

The most common ones that I hear of are the ones from Xiaomi, Tapo and EZVIZ. Any thoughts on these?

Which petrol & tyre brand is the better choice?

vanguard_15 — Sat, 02 Jul 2022 23:48:52 +0800

Hi, I just bought a Persona 2022 Executive model and was wondering which petrol brand is the better choice for this type of car? The car manual states Petronas but is it necessary? As for the tyres, what came with the car by default was the Atlas brand, which looks like a relatively cheap brand that I feel I should eventually change...anyway, please share your thoughts and reason.

Hi everyone, just asking but we all know that Proton has a shortage in their spare parts, are these spare parts referring just to the X-70 and X-50 series?

Lenovo Legion 7 Wi-Fi card issue

vanguard_15 — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:22:48 +0800

Hi guys,

I'm having issues with my Legion 7's Wi-Fi card which is a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card. It disconnects for no reason at any time. So, I did some digging and found that it was stated as WLAN 2x2ax+BT under the invoice. I googled it and it came out as an Intel Wi-Fi card model, is that correct?

Has anyone come across this or have any solution?
