Information (unverified info from various random social media sources): Seems like she was undergoing some repairs for some time, so was stuck in Ukraine. Was destroyed while she was on the ground in a hanger in Antonov Airport in Hostomel. Which was apparently occupied by Russian Forces.

Volkswagen EV concept ID. LIFE

N1ck — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 21:54:20 +0800

The vision of a fully electric small car for the urban environment is centred around people and communal experiences. The concept car combines sustainability and digitalisation with extremely flexible usage: the ID. LIFE can become a mini cinema or a gaming centre, for instance, or simply be used for relaxing in the open air.

Swapped to Rechargables

N1ck — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 18:38:42 +0800

Ikea stopped selling their cheap Alkalisk so I got my self some Rechargeable Eneloops.

Usually only use about 6 AA batteries a year but now stuck at home and play more games using game controller so use a lot more, around 12 battery per year. Total damage worth about 90 Alkalisks not including charger, not sure will ROI compared to just stocking up Alkalisks.

Read SOP Wrongly

N1ck — Sat, 05 Jun 2021 13:35:02 +0800

The SOP not well though of, too many grey areas. For example

Pergerakan merentas daerah dan negeri bagi tujuan vaksinasi COVID-19 di Pusat
Pemberian Vaksin (PPV) di luar daerah atau negeri tempat tinggal dibenarkan dengan
menunjukkan butiran janji temu di aplikasi MySejahtera, laman sesawang atau SMS.

If same daerah more than 10km how? Can or cannot?

Should be can right, but so stupid SOP

EDIT: My comprehension like shit. 10km SOP only for buy stuff

Horizontal Case < 20 cm fat

N1ck — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 18:42:42 +0800

Hi, am looking to build a new rig and place it below my TV. I would like to keep the TV as low as possible so I think a horizontal solution would look great.
Would be reusing a Superflower LeadeX 2 gold 1000W to power a Zen 3 CPU plus RTX3080.

As I don't have much other constraints other than height, I would prefer a full matx and above motherboard with a ATX power supply. However such horizontal case are limited.

Currently I have found the following:
1. Thermaltake Core G3 (no ATX powersupply support. Plus I have to buy a seperate PCIE4 certifed riser cable to fit GPU. The cable is very hard to find)
2. Masterbox Q300L (abit too fat at 230mm, plus horrific thermals unless modded)

Any other case to recommend? Most horizontal case is meant for HTPC and have horrendous airflow.

Else Ill have to mod the hell out of either case...

Online Shopping App vs PC Browser

N1ck — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 10:34:52 +0800

I have been online shopping like a dinosaur using the Web browser on my computer. I feel that it provides a better experience with a bigger screen and has physical keyboard input. Plus am experiencing the new norm, still working from home and not going out much.

I miss lots of discounts and I feel that I am now being discriminated for not using the mobile app, and most ecommerce apps is annoying as hell using default settings, have to manually disable all notifications so I did not install any.

How about you guys, what you use?

Some people like to sit in car idling

N1ck — Sun, 13 Aug 2017 08:39:00 +0800

I have notice that some people like to sit in their car with engine running and lepak for quite a long time. Ive seen this many times at:
1. In front of their own house
2. Public park
3. Shopping mall carpark

They like to idle at places where I usually won't think of sitting in my car at all, let alone running the engine to lepak inside. I think I can say all my observation of one certain race.

Can't brain why people buy Steam Wallet Card

N1ck — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 09:48:09 +0800

I was online window shopping when I found Steam Wallet Prepaid cards being sold at a premium. The weird part is that most sellers just email you the code instead of physically delivering the card to your place.

Why would anyone buy such a thing. Its much more expensive, slower, most of the time you don't get the physical card than just adding funds on your steam wallet manually.
Example: http://www.lazada.com.my/steam-wallet-rm50...c=MTrW&rb=54842

I find it strange that people do buy it.

Do you use water heater at home?

N1ck — Sat, 10 Jun 2017 18:50:17 +0800

I have been spoiled with water heater since I was born. However, since weather getting hotter I probably won't get water heater for new place, save some $ plus toilet looks neater.
It seems that plenty of middle class Malaysians use water heater, how about you guys?

Where to buy computer hardware?

N1ck — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 15:20:06 +0800

Dear k/

Any reccomendation on where to buy reasonably priced computer hardware. There is too much difference between manufacturer MSRP and our local pricing in our markets.

For example a Amazon MSI Gaming Geforce GTX 1070 on amazon is selling for USD 404, myr is around 1750.
SameGPU is selling in Malaysia(lazada, lowyat forum, lowyat plaza) for around MYR 2335.

Even considering GST plus bulk shipping cost, the difference is too huge.
