Malaysia will be 95% cashless by 2025. These days, I don't even go out with my wallet. I usually go for walks in the morning, and I will just bring my smartphone with me and get my coffee at the nearby cafe.
Going cashless also reduces money laundering and other shady money stuff. ASEAN is creating a cashless system where you don't have to change your money when you visit ASEAN countries.

And I know this post could rile people up due to the way it's worded but there's limited text space so... Lol. What I am trying to say is I noticed that the business culture in the East and the West is different and as a result drives different outcomes. I heard a historian on a podcast say that the concept of intellectual property is an alien on in the East and that the culture there had always been to improve on inventions. (Ie Copy!) This results in quicker innovations. 2/2

When Iived in Australia, I realised that we Malaysians had access to more advanced tech. Our laptops, smartphones etc were more advanced.
When I was a journalist who would travel overseas to interview people - Asian journalists always had the slickest voice recorders. We were using MP3 recorders while the Western journos were still using tape.
I don't think it's because we r smarter; I think we dare to copy & improve while co's in the West are more protective & possessive of their #tech. 1/2

The one reason why I want to learn #Python is so that I could program my computer to copy my social media posts and just stuff them into my #Obsidian Daily Note automatically. Ambitious or impossible? lol

I knew the Celia keyboard was legit terrible but once I changed my mobile keyboard to G Board, the difference was stark 🥴
Why in the world did I tolerate a keyboard with an autopredict so terrible it changes perfectly legitimate words to something else, sometimes wrongly spelled words, and which doesn't even delete properly. It was literally broken 🤪
