In other interesting, random news, Linus from #LTT/#LMG apparently went on vacation to Bali in Indonesia, Port Dickson (somehow...?) and KL in Malaysia, and Singapore (of which he had to double check to see if it was considered a country despite having been there before, again, somehow lol).

What I found random was that apparently he walked to (Plaza) Low Yat on his first day in KL just to get a micro HDMI cable, and found the tech mall fascinating enough to come again the next day to shoot a video, despite being on family vacation and not work. One (camera) shop tried to charge him a "white guy" tax of 40 USD for a fucking cable, but fortunately he refused it ofc and went to other way better stores.

As someone who frequented Low Yat a lot right up until college (until
#Lazada and #Shopee came and dominated that is), I knew the perfect place for him to get what he was looking for was Viewnet, and from the pic he showed, I'm pretty sure that was where he ended up. He also noted how it's bizarre how seemingly all stores in Low Yat, big and small, had plenty of 50-series #NVIDIA cards and 9000-series #AMD cards available, tho I'm not surprised cos most everybody here wouldn't even be able to afford them or even need them - the demographic here mostly only play dumbass online MOBAs and shooters anyway lol.

Anyway, interesting to see a tourist, tech-savvy perspective on Low Yat - which was at some point, a super cool place for me too and where the best deals were to be had (for tech)... but, again, that's changed significantly when we have Shopee and whatnot which offers way better deals for the same products, sometimes from even the same stores you find in Low Yat. Back then, I had to go store-to-store there and get their latest, updated price sheet/catalog listing the prices of everything they sell incl. PC components and I'd compare them before tracing back to which store that sells each component I needed for the cheapest. Now, you do the same, online on Shopee, use all the vouchers thrown at you for free daily, and buy them right from your seat without leaving your house.

Damn, for a long while now you could not buy vape products on #Shopee in Malaysia, but #Lazada kept selling em. Now though, maybe since a couple of months ago, KKM has banned selling vape products on Lazada too - so you could now only get them from stores directly.

The cuts spanned various departments across the Singaporean company as well as its regional offices in countries including #Malaysia, #Indonesia and #Vietnam. #Singapore

The latest job cuts come amid speculation regarding a potential initial public offering for #Lazada’s parent company, #Alibaba International Digital Commerce, in the #UnitedStates in 2024.

I was looking for an Aircon since my current one broke down (dust build up causing the motor to burn up) and #Lazada is selling a TCL one (from a legit TCL shop) for a quarter of the price in a 11.11 flash sale??? I had the item in the cart for weeks so I know this is a legit sale

Update if you're in #Malaysia and have #ADHD or would just like an earplug recommendation: last time I mentioned Loop #earplugs (which is from EU), we found out that while there's a Shopee local storefront much of the products is marked sold out. anyway today I was looking again for my bestie, and apparently the active storefront is on #Lazada: s.lazada.com.my/s.UCy3Z

I especially recommend the Engage Pro or the Experience Plus for an all-rounder set, depending on your needs.
