Mika<p>In other interesting, random news, Linus from <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LTT" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LTT</a>/<a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/LMG" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LMG</a><span> 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).<br><br>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.<br><br>As someone who frequented Low Yat a lot right up until college (until </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Lazada" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lazada</a> and <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Shopee" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shopee</a> 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 <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/NVIDIA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVIDIA</a> cards and 9000-series <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AMD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMD</a><span> 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.<br><br>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.<br><br></span>▶️ <a href="https://youtu.be/5naj_JlAqlo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/5naj_JlAqlo</a></p>
