    Afrihost Mobile Feedback

    Complicated... why we were not advised on that? Chat support told me to cancel my existing plan before the 15. Once cancelled by the end of the month, then I can re-apply to the new AIR 5. Will I require a new SIM? or can I stick to my current SIM? Been with Afrihost for a loooong time...

    Should it be mandatory to tip your waiter?

    Most of European countries, tipping has been scrapped. You can still tip if you want, but is not expected. Service staff get a proper salary. https://www.shermanstravel.com/advice/save-it-20-countries-where-you-dont-need-to-leave-a-tip In Thailand, as well. Tipping is not mandatory.

    Could we have a quick discussion about web hosting options with a bit of nuance?

    Been using A2 Hosting on their shared hosting for along time and I have never had any issues. And I pay once a year as it is cheaper. They have different datacenter locations to choose. USA, Amsterdam and Singapore.

    Sonoff POWR320D geyser timer

    Not sure about this specific model, but I believe if the device is out of wifi range, it may stay "OFF". I have another sonoff device to control some lights in my garden and one day I changed the wifi password, without updating it on the sonoff device, and the device just remained on the "OFF"...
