What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I had seriously problems getting past episode 3 season one on Braking bad, and have tried 2 times to get started. Have seen so many short clips on YouTube, both braking bad and better calling Saul, still haven't managed getting in to it. I will give it a try later on again. Thanks will look in to shorty -

You're mixing your melons to formulate an argument against cashless payment. It doesn't matter how poor your Wifi is at home - when making a 'Cashless Payment' with a system such as PromptPay or True Money Wallet in Thailand - the connection is via your cell signal. I've been doing this for years - I'll be honest and mention that a couple of times there has been an 'App Glitch' - which slowed me down (when attempting to pay in a Bar at around midnight - BKK Bank App), but in the interest of balance, I've encountered more 'out of order' ATM's etc... Additionally, payments such as Apple Pay (are a one tap button on the phone combined with Face ID) and do not require an instant internet connection (on our side) - its exactly the same as 'tapping our card' (Debit or Credit etc) and this payments are exceptionally efficient.... On this forum I've encountered the argument "what if you lose your phone ?"... my answer is always the same..."then you're just as shafted as if you lose your wallet" . For the record: I'm not anti-cash - think its incredibly important that we still use cash, however, I find many of the arguments presented against cashless payments are fundamentally flawed, its is only those points I counter. If you prefer cash - then thats a simple preference I agree with. But, formulating an argument against cash-less payments because some people are slow to get their phone out is flawed, as that same type of character is slow to get their wallet out to pay in cash (and slow in pretty much anything they do). (on a separate note: If your home Wifi is an issue - try considering a new router or get a Mesh system).
