PSA: Dont claim KFC Voucher in Samsung Member App

wakakaka — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 21:21:53 +0800

Save your 1000 points for RM10 worth of Grab Voucher instead of this sleezy tactic by Samsung Malaysia. Same shitty tactics used to create their low quality products
While I'm at it, here are my experience having enough of SAMSUNG MALAYSIA ELECTRONICS (SME) SDN. BHD. (Malaysia) 0629186D / 200301026766

1.1x 7kg front load washing machine used up to 4 yo (PCB traces of leak unknown liquid and Absorber failure),
2. 1x 1hp Samsung Air Cond (PCB failure) with Inverter, 3yo
3. 2x Samsung TV (PCB failures both), both failed at 3yo
4. 1x Samsung oven (unsatisfied performance, slow heating) and posting this on a Z Fold with bubble internal screen protector.

This is a trigger point of my mental breakdown that made me create this post to share the grievance of Samsung products, here are alternatives I would recommend that
1. Aircon = Gree (3yo and running), Daikin (4yo and running), Panasonic (4yo and running), Sharp (4yo and running)
2. Washing Machine Front Load = LG (4yo and running), panasonic (1yo and running), sharp (doesn't want to die, top load)
3. TV = LG (4yo and running)
4. Oven = Sharp (4yo and running)

Suitable Credit Card For Me

wakakaka — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:50:46 +0800

Hi,

Im wondering what suitable credit card for me to do my oversea online shopping? I'm a student and previously I did oversea online shopping (mainly in the US) using debit card and i find it very tedious keeping track with the Pre-Auth. Sometimes when i cancel my item i have to wait it refund like forever. I scared the bank will cheat me. So here are some of the criteria

Criteria
1. It would be great if it can accept Ebay (Paypal only allow address from US, so Ebay is my off limits)
2. Low oversea transaction fees. I thought of getting AmEx but i saw the 2.5% charges compared to Maybank Visa 0.5%. Im not sure if this still stands or not because the thread in LYN stating this was quite old
3. Pump petrol? I heard AmEx is great with points. Not sure about others though
4. No annual fee?
5. Only from Maybank and CIMB

I won't be using this credit card for normal outside shopping or dining though.

Need some input right now since im quite confuse with all these credit cards

Thanks in advanced

Actually im having this problem quite some time ago beginning of mid-year where orbit downloader is able to grab videos from youtube website via firefox browser but is unable to start downloading it. However, there is no problem with IE but since im not a user of IE, i find it a bit of a hassle to switch browser everytime i wan to downlaod vids.

So im wondering, is everyone facing the compatibility issue regarding orbit on firefox or is it just only me? Im running on 64bit win7 ultimate

1.A:Im using a ASUS AGP card, should i set to PCI or AGP in the settings?
1.B: Set to 32MB or 64MB for better performance?
2. In the CPU PnP set up, the "U ratio", set to highest (eg: x28) will result in better performance than the lower (eg: x14)?
