Lost & Stranded: Can a Business Bridge the Gap for Those Without Essential Documents and Belongings?

I chatted with Gemini and at some point I got this summary:

Repair of multi-cooker control board CFXB60-W-MS2-DP CFXB60-W-MS2\MS3-DP GX V2.0 CORSO with IC TS3F465D-HD from Sapir SP-1985-A5

I suspected that the integrated circuit TS3F465D-HD is broken. But I was wrong.

Banks and bank-like fintech companies do not understand different address formats, especially one of the address schemes used in Bulgaria

When the receiver is connected to the mains (or the voltage is restored after a drop) it rings. Keep in mind this if you don't like false positives.

  Still works days after the first email:

"All Wise debit cards are valid for 3 years." - Wise.com ; Update: it's 5 years, not 3

I asked them: "I can't find where on your website is specified for how long is valid the debit card (after how many years will be the expire date)." The answer: Thanks for getting in touch! All Wise debit cards are valid for 3 years. We’ll let you know 2 months before your card expires, so you can get a new card by clicking on Order a new one. This way we won’t charge you a replacement fee. If you choose the Replace card option instead, you’ll be asked to pay a fee. If you want to replace your expiring card before the 2 month notification is sent, we can’t refund the fees. Let us know if you have any other questions. We're happy to help. Update: after I ordered a card I noticed that the card is valid for 5 years, not 3. (May 2022) My article about Wise in Bulgarian: Подводни камъни при ползването на Wise.com през 2021-2022 година
