  1. holy crap #samsung UI looks garbage even compared to other #android ‘skins’ lololol but #samsungpay integrating #duitnowQR now is seriously cool. they’re starting with #maybank but seems like they’ll add #shopeepay too. #apple needs to get in on this instead of only supporting the ‘traditional’ NFC payments. cooler if they can even figure out supporting these QR payments without internet connection, but dk if dats technically feasible.

  2. Also, in regards to cross-border payments via QR like #DuitNow and #PromptPay ; I know scanning their (merchant) QR for payments work - as mentioned, I’ve only been using #TnG eWallet for this bcos as far as I’m aware, their rates are more competitive than my bank’s (#Maybank). #ShopeePay ‘s doesn’t seem to work, as far as I can tell.

    However these have only worked in instances where I’m the one scanning their QR - in one of the (7E) vending machines I’ve seen in
    #Thailand that supports PromptPay, whereby they scan your QR (instead of the other way around), it’s not worked with my TnG eWallet QR - tho I reckon it’s bcos only the scanning part of TnG is DuitNow-compatible, while the QR it provides ‘to be scanned’, is not.

    Quite a headache lol - I imagine it might work if I use my Maybank QR code instead? tho I’ve not tried. Maybank’s conversion rate is pretty shit tho. Prior to my travel, I’ve found and ranked the best currency conversion rate (for THB) is, from best to worst: My local money changer (bizarre, right?) > Wise > TnG eWallet > Maybank.

    I might test/investigate this further, later. If the ‘being scanned’ part of the cross-border QR payment method works with my bank’s QR - cool. If that too does not work, then this cross-border QR payment thing’s insufficient (i.e. if it only works when we’re the one scanning the merchant’s QR).

  3. Speaking of #Valve and payment processors - I just realised yesterday that #Steam supports a lot of our local payment methods like #ShopeePay, #TnGeWallet, and #GrabPay.

  4. People don't mention enough how seriously underrated #Apple Shortcuts is on #iOS devices including #iPhone and #iPad. It's so freaking cool and powerful, the things you could do with it for automations and on-demand actions.

    You could seriously put/use it everywhere - on your homescreen as a widget, on the dedicated widget screen, in your control centre, and heck even as a 'context menu' option in your share sheet menu (which doesn't suck, unlike on
    #Android).

    Oh, that's not even all - you could even trigger it via the plethora of
    #a11y options that you get on iOS/#iPadOS like Assistive Touch's gestures and even Back Taps. For instance, I tap the back of my iPhone twice to trigger a shortcut that launches #ShopeePay for quick QR payments, and triple tap to open #KDE Connect to transfer files/photos between my iPhone and my #Linux PC or Android phone.

    I also have plenty of automations set up pertaining to Focus states - to set up a completely different environment on my phone, depending on if I'm working, off-work, sleeping, driving, etc. You could even set up different lock screens/home screens for each Focus state - of which, again, you could automate using Shortcuts.

    This dude's video of using an iPad Mini, and the Shortcuts he'd set up to automate different 'environments' he's using his iPad for (i.e. at home, or in the car) is an interesting example - he'd set up a 'Driving Mode' Focus state with a dedicated homescreen and even split-screen app setup (i.e. Map & Music next to each other) that is automatically triggered as soon as his iPad is connected to his car stereo automatically via Bluetooth. His 'Driving Mode' Focus even adjusts the brightness levels and text size of the entire iPad UI for a better driving experience, and reverts automatically after he leaves his car.

    Seriously, if you have an iPhone or an iPad, and you're not using Shortcuts for anything... you might as well use an Android phone/tablet.

  5. #TNGeWallet not supporting personal QR pay codes, only #TNG and merchant ones (supplied by Banks), is its biggest stopper for me - the inability to withdraw money or topup as little as RM1 to your wallet too are almost just as annoying. None of them are issues for other alts like #ShopeePay.

  6. #ShopeePay is already better than the complicated #TnG eWallet or the garbage #Grab eWallet - what it only needs is a way to export receipts as PDF instead of making you take screenshots like a pleb lol.

  7. I’ve mentioned this before long ago, #ShopeePay is way better than #TnGeWallet - even when it was part of the #Shopee app, more so now that it’s become a standalone #eWallet app. As ‘simplistic’ as its UI is, its UX is swell and easy to use.

    It doesn’t bombard you with a ton of features/functionalities most people wouldn’t ever need from a ‘simple’ eWallet, you can topup as lil as 1 MYR rather than TnG’s ridiculous 20 MYR minimum (any lower, you’ll need to use
    #DuitNow), and its QR payment system to send/receive is completely compatible with DuitNow.

    TnG’s (QR) for example do not support sending money to
    #Maybank’s (or presumably any other bank’s) DuitNow QR for personal accounts for whatever reason, only merchant’s. Heck, even their face recognition system for verification purposes works way better and more reliably than #TouchNGo’s. ShopeePay only needs dark mode, #ApplePay and #GooglePay as payment methods for topup (which are already supported on Shopee itself but somehow missing here), and it’s golden.

    Majulah Singapura.

    Well, my usual* wallet does have enough cash, fortunately. 😁

    It's just weird because I normally use my #creditcard for any place that will take card payments, and I don't carry much #cash. I don't feel safe making trips to the #ATM. The less I use those machines, the better and safer, me thinks. So I like to save my cash for places where they don't have other payment options.

    #Google / #Apple Pay is not a thing here. We have #GrabPay #Maya #Gcash #ShopeePay.

    #Philippines #QRph

  9. And I went to the supermarket and asked if they take digital wallet payments... #Maya #GrabPay #ShopeePay etc.

    But they only take card, cash or #Gcash.

    Well, I left my wallet at home and I hate Globe.

    Oh well... 🤷‍♀️
