>make thread about Digital Nomad 6 months ago>worried about power infrastructure in SEA think I should swap my laptop out with something with a huge battery>LOL ANON POWER NEVER GONE OUT FOR ME NOPE! IT'S PROBABLY BETTER THAN AMERICA LMAO>okay well maybe get a good phone with some long battery life for internet>IT'S WAY BETTER THERE FOR INTERNET THAN ANYTHING IN THE USA! trustmebro.txtHas this board ever BEEN to SEA? Currently sitting in a +8hr blackout on my block, before that had power brown outs to where my laptop wouldn't charge as it was constantly falling under the threshold, had power outages do to typhoons or a quake shutting down my power for +3 hours at night even though it felt weak as hell. I had to go purchase a new laptop specifically to remain online and a huge usb-c battery now. My boss might be getting suspicious as I can't blaming missed meetings or lag on "windows" when my stipend is specifically for good internet. And on that not, the 5G internet latency and packet reliability is FUCKING GARBAGE all over Asia. I got a new phone specifically to support all 5g bands but it's still shit.Do you all use the term "digital nomad" as meaning you checked your email a few times while abroad? Because holy shit everywhere outside of Taiwan has been dogshit.
>>2828551lol what bumfuck beach village did you do to? Gotta stay in the cities, bro. Even then, I've got a power bank for my laptop (plus another laptop). Sounds like you're just a newb faggot, I hope you get fired kek
>>2828551you were warned that some places had shit internet and power, retardnobody ever made the claim that it was awesome everywhere, actually the contrary
>>2828556Never been to CambodiaHow common are blackouts in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh?
>>2828551What country, retarded nigger? I bounce between Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and never had any issues.
>>2828551>had power outages do to typhoons or a quake shutting down my power for +3 hours at nightYou do seem like a newb. I would not wait out storms in a foreign country, where I am a foreigner, if I needed my life and internet. Durr. Evacuate.
>>2828554I'm in some main cities anon, >>2828558PH happened to me a few timesMalaysia the hotel just randomly turned off power for 12 hoursThailand a big storm shut the block downI'm paying nearly 200 CASH dollars a month I expected more but I guess the USD is truly in the shitter now
>>2828593>doesn't mention which cities>paying $200 a month for rent and complaining about this shitHoly shit kys stupid nigger
>>2828593>Thailand a big storm shut the block downThe fuck did you expect?
>>2828594It's not how some forums made it sound 200 should be more than enough for small hotel/motel style stays. The point to Digital Nomad Chadding is so you can pump investments so you need to min/max. Now I am 1800 in the hole for a laptop that can charge via a USB-c because my work PC needs 140w to charge due to the CPU and GPU. >>2828614IT'S ASIAI dunno, more stable shit than my bumfuck redneck grandparents who live in OKC. Fucking can't drink the tap water out here without someone in the hostel yelling NONONONOCan't fucking keep the AC on without getting told I need to pay extraCan't fucking keep the lights on during a storm that makes the average Chicago summer storm seem mildWorst of all the internet fucking sucks dude, have you ever been on the internet the USA is always the laughing stock but here the "good internet" (mind you this is ASIA) is like backwards redneck levels of connectivity most places. I thought they were suppose to be fucking advanced out here dude.
>>2828551>had power outages do to typhoons or a quakeno ones fault>+8hr blackout on my blockget a better apartment
>>2828620>Worst of all the internet fucking sucks dude, have you ever been on the internet the USA is always the laughing stock but here the "good internet" (mind you this is ASIA) is like backwards redneck levels of connectivity most places. I thought they were suppose to be fucking advanced out here dude.The fuck are you talking about? My super shit apartment in Chiang Mai I spent a year in had a 1 gbit internet connection, zero issues. Best internet I had in my life. Stop living in shit places.
>>2828620>some forums>have you ever been on the internet the USA is always the laughing stockyou get what you deserve for believing reddit tier advice
Assuming this thread isn't some bizarre fake troll thread, why would you go to a third world country and expect first world infrastructure?You deserve this for being a moron and listening to 4chan. I hope you get fired.
>>2828620The only people that say internet in America is bad are:1) tards that don't live near any major hub like NYC, DC, Chicago, etc so assume their buttfuck nowhere internet is the same across the country B) don't realize that you have to treat your gateway router like a smartphone and replace it every couple of years because they do go badC) have a shitty ISP like Comcast or satellite Internet
>>2828884Internet is bad in NYC too. Although it's mostly problems with the charges. They'll tell you it's 50/month then charge you 200.
>>2828593That's less than seven dollars a day. Pay Third World prices for a room, get Third World amenities. In fact, I'd be surprised if the A/C is even capable of getting the room temp below 27 C during the daytime. The cheap rooms often install very weak A/C units to reduce power consumption.>>2828620Use your phone's data hotspot for Internet access. WiFi in any Southeast Asian hotel below $15/night is worthless, in my experience.>redneck grandparents who live in OKCSounds like you should've bought a $2500 camper trailer and lived rent-free on the old folks' property in exchange for a little help around the house. Instead you chose some meme lifestyle hunched over your laptop in a Third World hostel, seething over the Third Worldness of everything.
