Weak WiFi. New router/Mesh/Extender?

HolyAssasin4444 — Sun, 26 Sep 2021 03:46:21 +0800

Hi Lowyat forums, not a tech geek here and recently after expanding 2nd floor of house realised that my current router (TM give, Archer C1200) can't cover the whole floor/ weak signal in general.

My first thought was upgrade router, as I thought the one TM give is cheap stuff (apparently it seems to be decent entry router). If that's the case, should I consider Mesh wifi instead? The one I've been looking at are the tplink deco models (M4/M5) but if got any other models that are more value for money can recommend also

Or should I just save money and get a range extender?

Don't need super fast transfer speeds (only used for internet connection, not much file transfers), can load 4K vids smoothly for max 4 devices with stable connection very happy already. Currently have 100Mbps unifi but maybe upgrade to 300/500 in the future. Thanks in advance!

Car suggestion (15k below)

HolyAssasin4444 — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:57:07 +0800

Hi /k, am a fresh graduate here that needs to buy a car for commuting to work daily. Any suggestions for a used car that's below 25k? Need to be auto. Will pay in cash so not restricted by any loan terms.

Was considering a 7 year old Axia (https://www.carlist.my/used-cars/loan-kedai-only-2014-perodua-axia-1-0-g-hatchback/7140787). Is this a good idea or better to topup buy new and not worry about any used car issues

(PSTH) Pershing Square Tontine Holdings

(PSTH) Pershing Square Tontine Holdings is the largest SPAC ever listed on US stock exchange, headed by Bill Ackman.

Don't see much of this mentioned here, thought it'd be a great idea to have a thread for it for discussion among holders/potential investors. Anyone bought into this already? Personally opened a short put position on their commons

KL Restaurant for Authentic Dim Sum

HolyAssasin4444 — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 08:55:34 +0800

Hi uncles & aunties! I'm thinking of bringing my elders for dim sum breakfast, but I'm not that well versed with Chinese cuisine. Is there any recommended restaurants to bring them? I'd consider them as the very traditional Cantonese old folks. Needless to say taste and refinement of food is the top priority but ambience and service is excellent too preferably, not concerned with price. Thanks alot in advance!

Not sure if it's relevant but the last time I brought them to Putien. To put it in a nice way, they were unimpressed by the food. Maybe due to different style of cooking?

Stock market taxes for US and EU markets

HolyAssasin4444 — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 13:39:39 +0800

Hi Investors/ Gamblers,

Wanna ask what's the taxes are like for investing in US and EU markets? (Especially Euronext, or the other major markets like LSE, Xetra)

US is 0 for capital gains, 30% witholding for dividends. Can someone confirm if i'm right?

No idea about EU, can't find any info online about it specifically for Malaysians

Edit: Also side question, how are the laws for money deposits like for EU, are they as strict about duit kopi compared to US? Asking for friend

4K HDR TV for Gaming And Netflix (49-55")

HolyAssasin4444 — Sat, 25 Apr 2020 16:36:58 +0800

Hi Guys, hope you guys are staying safe during mco!

I'm looking for a 4K HDR TV for mainly PC gaming and Netflix. Budget 3K, maybe can stretch up to 3.5K, finding for 49" to 55". Prefer a TV with better quality screen compared to size if they are the same price.

I don't know much about TVs, so I just look around and kind of focused on these models above, any suggestions for my price range?

I will be using this TV primarily in a dark room and sitting right in front of the TV at about 2.5 feet away so reflection not that big of a concern(i think?)

Smart TV/ android / any of those features not that important to me since I'll be plugging in a pc and most of the stuff I play/watch will be directly from the pc

Also if any sifus know any places to buy TV with good price/warranty and not sure if I should buy TV now or in the future when prices may drop more? But don't know about this, as I don't need the TV urgently but hoping to get before September
