I said I would never buy an EV but...
People who have or are considering buying a Chinese made EV may find this story from today's ABC website interesting about how vulnerable they are to malicious hackers. Apart from physical danger it seems best not to use internal AI communications and mention any personal details...- harryopal1

How do you guys invest?
Pantaieima does often seem rather intensely didactic but it seems a valid point in this context to have a plan B in case the government were to suddenly widen its range of blocks.

[Guide] ITAP / IMK: Moving to self-sponsor after spouse’s death (or divorce)
Almost like undertaking a holy pilgrimage with hazards and distractions along the way. But you cannot attain serenity until you reach the end. Stone the crows. For all the wonders of computer systems and AI it seems everything becomes more confusing and complicated. Good luck with the rest of...- harryopal1

Mobil Rakyat...new cars
Anything and everything now has so many gadgets and options whether it be a phone, or car or whatever. To cover all the information about every option is like learning to fly an aeroplane.

Living at Bukit Hijau in Bali, a street dog had a litter of 9 pups in the culvert at our front gate. The mother was struggling to provide enough milk for them all so I...- harryopal1
