If It was an Asian person doing this in Europe, there’s a good chance we’d be told to “go back home” or face racist remarks and mockery. Yet some visitors arrive in Thailand acting as if local norms don’t apply to them as though they’re entitled to behave however they want.
That double standard is what’s frustrating. No one is superior because of where they come from. Respect goes both ways.
I understand that being loud on public transport may be more socially acceptable in some parts of Europe. Different societies have different norms, and I’m fully aware of that.
But in Bangkok the public transport etiquette is different. Keeping your voice down and not disturbing other passengers is considered basic courtesy. That’s the local norm, and visitors should respect it just as I respect local customs when I’m abroad.
What surprised me even more were the comments saying, “We’re bringing money to your country.” What kind of argument is that? Buying a €1 BTS ticket or spending money as a tourist doesn’t exempt anyone from respecting local etiquette. Being a customer doesn’t put you above the people who live there.
What concerns me is the double standard. When Asians in Europe point out something or don’t perfectly fit in, they’re often told to “go back home” or face racist remarks. Yet when some Western tourists ignore local norms in Asia, people are expected to accept it because they’re bringing money.
For too long, some people have felt comfortable mocking Thai people because of our accents or outdated stereotypes about Asians. That shouldn’t be acceptable anymore.
This is 2026. Being multilingual is something to be proud of not something to be ridiculed. Speaking English as a second or third language is not a sign of lower intelligence or worth.
Thai people and Asians in general should never be treated as inferior. We deserve the same respect that we give to others. The era of staying silent when we’re looked down upon should be over!
Respect isn’t a privilege. It’s the minimum standard for everyone.
It's insane to think about how modern was looking a few months ago compared to now.
March 2026 onwards has had:
- Coruna (included PPL/SPTM bypasses up to 17.3.1)
- DarkSword (included kernel exploit up to 18.7.1/26.0.1)
- usbliter8 (bootrom exploit for A12/A13 devices)
To anyone looking for a Pico 2 for usbliter8 stuff, I would highly advise getting the board that was used by Paradigm Shift - the Waveshare RP2350 USB-A.
While almost any RP2350 (Pico 2) board should work, this board doesn’t require soldering or destroying a lightning cable.
With that being said, it is not recommended at this point to buy a Pico 2 for usbliter8 stuff unless you are a developer.
The exact issues that will come with a usbliter8-based jailbreak for iOS/iPadOS devices aren’t fully confirmed yet (this is also why I haven’t made a long post on it yet), and it’s wise to wait until you can make an informed purchasing decision.
A real bootrom exploit for A12/A13 devices. First new one since checkm8.
Note that this requires an rpi pico, and is not a jailbreak yet (jailbreak with this will probably be annoying on 17.0+ due to SEP mitigations).
No better words than this: WOW
A new unpatchable vulnerability has been discovered for the iPhone XS and iPhone 11. The exploit enables booting an unsigned bootloader, which means tools like checkra1n or palera1n could be updated to support these devices.
it is SO funny to me that ever since Elon bought Twitter, not only did the amount of bots increase, but it also created like 12 entirely new species of bots
In 2014, a 15-year-old Pakistani schoolboy named Aitzaz Hasan noticed a stranger wearing a suicide vest entering his school.
Despite being urged by his friends to run away, Aitzaz decided to confront the bomber.
He grabbed the terrorist, and that's when the explosive vest detonated. Killing Aitzaz instantly.
His actions prevented the terrorist from entering the school and killing hundreds of students.
Following his death, his father said, "My son made his mother cry but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children."
Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died.
Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981.
A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer.
According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.
