WTS: Adidas Superstar 35th Project Playground UK 7

mikey8811 — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 13:20:53 +0800

Item(s): Adidas Superstar 1 35th Anniversary, Expression Series 11 Project Playground (Echo, Marine, Mustard) Men's UK 7

Description:

The Classic Adidas Superstar 1 re-imagined in its 35th anniversary year of 2005 with New York based Project Playground Clothing Company which blends urban elements of music and fashion together with a love for street basketball. Project Playground’s affinity for the game even gave birth to a traveling performance basketball team that was akin to the Harlem Globetrotters, albeit with a younger, more “streetball” attitude. The shoe has a very appealing light blue (“echo”) suede upper with contrasting mustard colored eyestays. Its most distinguishing features would be the lack of the traditional superstar heel cap and side stripes, the outlines of which are still highlighted by a series of perforations in the suede. The mustard color of the eyestays is repeated with stitching on the heel and upper and also on the insole of the shoe. Both the sole and the stitching are a dark blue color. Sharing this “marine” color is the Project Playground logo on the outer heel section of the upper and the insole. The logo includes the puzzling number of six basketball players in silhouette (because only 5 players play at a time). There are two additional sets of laces in black and white colors. This very limited edition sneaker was much sought after by street basketball fans and sneaker collectors alike when it was released and more so now

Knockoff Airpods - Any Recommendations

mikey8811 — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 23:20:47 +0800

Hi

Any recommendations for knockoff Airpods?

They sell at a fraction of the price on Aliexpress.

I was thinking of these:

256 Gb SSD or 1 Tb Fusion Drive for iMac 27 in?

mikey8811 — Sat, 23 Mar 2019 14:37:06 +0800

Hi

I am looking to purchase the base 27 in 2019 iMac (i5 6 Core 3.0 GHz, 8 Gb RAM) that was launched recently.

I understand the SSD configuration is faster and better to use in the long run.

I can only afford the 256 Gb SSD or stick with the 1 Tb fusion drive.

My current usage is an old 2008 MacBook (Intel core 2 duo 2 GHz, 2 Gb RAM) with only 80 Gb HDD of wich I am using at best 60 Gb for OS (10.6.8) and apps. iTunes, iPhotos, iPhone backups, Time Machine backups are all on external HDD's.

Is a 256 Gb SSD sufficient in the above context? I am unsure how much Mojave system files need to run with some headroom.

I do not really do intensive processing. Just some video transcoding for Plex Media Server where the video files are on an external HDD. My current MacBook has some stuttering when transcoding video and audio and I am unsure if this is related to drive speed, processing power or RAM.

I am guessing it is processor power.

Any feedback appreciated.

PSA: Dishonest Service At Machines

mikey8811 — Sat, 23 Mar 2019 13:50:46 +0800

This is a Public Service Announcement cautioning those who intend to have their Apple hardware serviced by Machines.

Machines provides the worst service I have ever encountered.

I sent my iPhone for battery replacement at Machines KLCC and paid the RM 121. This comes with a 3 month warranty on the entire device.

They actually spoiled my screen during the battery replacement. There was a shadow line on the screen which I noticed 1 day after I collected the phone.

I attempted to contact them immediately but there is never an answer on their contact number. I left messages to no avail. Emails were unanswered.

I walked in to the store a few days after and they refused to honour the warranty on the unit. I contacted Apple who said the unit was still under warranty. It kept bouncing back from Machines to Apple but Machines still refused to honour the warranty. They wanted to charge me RM 899 to repair the screen.

This is like an unscrupulous car workshop which deliberately inflicts damage on your vehicle to extort further payments for repair from a customer. They are real crooks

Finally Apple asked me to take the unit to QCD instead and I received professional service.

I later found out from other customers who had purchased their iPhones and i devices from Harvey Norman but had sent them to Machines for repair that they faced similar circumstances.

Apparently Machines has a bad reputation for using used and counterfeit parts to replace original iPhone parts when units are sent for repair. A lot of their ex staff who are disgruntled by this. subsequently leave for other shops and confirm this unethical behaviour.

Their technicians seem technically incompetent and unprofessional and their service staff are arrogant and rude.

I lodged a complaint with the NCCC.

It is strange why Apple should choose to associate with them or have them represent the brand at all.

Fanless i7 PC or Mini PC

Hi

Looking for a cost effective quiet and fast fanless i7 PC or mini PC to run Windows 10. With at least 16 Gb of RAM and SSD, no wi fi, Gigabit ethernet, HDMI, and multiple USB 3.0 and 2.0 slots.

Kind of like an Intel NUC but without the fan and wi fi and other overheads.

Any suggestions?

Unarchiving RAR File With Chinese Password

mikey8811 — Sun, 06 Jul 2014 05:49:50 +0800

Hi

I downloaded the following WAV file that was archived.

http://bbs.1lou.com/thread-index-fid-953-tid-3818828.htm

but it could not get over the password protection even though I copied and pasted the Chinese characters of the password.

Is that because the password is in double byte characters and my OS is in English?

I tried to attach the RAR file (366 M) but it didn't work here.

Please help.

Thanks

Sony 40EX520 vs. Samsung 40ES5600 vs. 40ES6220

mikey8811 — Thu, 03 May 2012 23:22:56 +0800

Hi

Am stuck deciding between these 3 LED LCD TV's with largely similar specs.

All are Full HD 1080 (1920 x 1080)

Sony 40EX520 - just superceded model which can be purchased at around RM 2,000, Wi Fi ready but need to purchase dongle which puts the cost up to RM 2,200, no indication of Hz

Samsung 40ES5600 - current model available for RM 2,400, Wi Fi ready (some people throwing in a dongle but otherwise need to purchase for RM 200), Clear Motion Rate of 100 Hz

Samsung 40ES6220 - current model available for about RM 2,900, built in Wireless LAN, 3D, Clear Motion Rate of 400 Hz

I can pretty much do without the 3D and so the attraction of the Samsung 40ES6220 is mostly for the higher Clear Motion Rate of 400 Hz - is that noticeable (and worth the extra RM500)?

Is the Sony less well spec'd picture quality wise being a just replaced model? The attraction is the nicer industrial design and it being the cheapest.

Having said that, the Samsung's are probably a more watchable design as the bezel is integrated with the screen edge giving a floating impression.

Any opinions welcome.

Thanks
