Cooking Wine

Ryou — Sat, 16 Mar 2019 10:15:03 +0800

I'm looking for Culinary red wine & white wine (not chinese cooking rice wine). But have no idea where to buy them.
Anyone knows where should I look into?

By the way I am well aware that cooking with gourmet is much better than culinary wine, but sometimes just prefer to use some cheaper ingredient for daily meal. Thanks

CPU & GPU combo for Video editing

Ryou — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 11:00:31 +0800

Hi all hardware gurus, I would like to know which is the better option for video editing:

1, i5-8400 + GTX1050Ti 4GB
2, i7-8700 + GT1030 2GB

Based on my previous experience, GPU matters more than CPU when it comes to video editing, but I would like to hear from you guys.
Thanks

Email Reading Limitation Software

Ryou — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 01:39:02 +0800

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a software, a method or a way, to limit the reads of my email. This may sound weird but I hope someone could come out with the software I'm looking for. I would describe the software as below:

"I want to send an email, but the receiver can only read the email once, and the mail will automatically delete itself. The receiver will not be able to read it again, nor forward it or save a copy of the mail"

Will anyone enlighten me with something like that? I hope this is in the correct section, as it's under "privacy". Thanks!

Fiio e3 + Sony XBA-S65 anyone?

Ryou — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:25:03 +0800

Hi! I own a Sony XBA-S65 which is basically the same with XBA-1. Ordered a second hand unit of Fiio e3. However, I heard that Fiio e3 doesn't amplify all models of headphones. And I read review regarding the distortion of Fiio e3 at higher volume.

Anyone tried the combo? Of tried Fiio E3 on any other combo? Can someone be so kind to share the pros and cons of this tiny little amp?

Laptop not booting after dismantle.

Ryou — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 20:52:14 +0800

My laptop is an Acer TimelineX 4820TG, after an attempt to clean my heat sink, I resemble everything and tried to boot my pc, waiting to see better cooling. But my laptop just couldn't boot. The light of the Power Switch glowed for few seconds then shut down itself. After few seconds, same thing happened again repeatedly.

I've no idea what happened. It should be a hardware problem but I couldn't determine which part is making the trouble. Any sifu could help? I desperately need some guidance.

Audiophile Smartphones? Anyone?

Ryou — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:05:28 +0800

I'm currently using a very old Samsung Wave S8500. The audio output is very remarkable when coupled with a pair of decent earphones. But I found out that when the same earphones are plugged into other phones, the quality tends to differ.

I'm currently looking for a smartphone with remarkable music performance. Heard that HTC ONEs are good with Beats, but comments and reviews from internet pointed out that it's only good in producing heavy bass, but not music quality. Some said Xperia Sola and Xperia U are good players as well.

Mind sharing your opinions? Basically have budget around RM700~900. I'm not a heavy user, single-cored phone will satisfy me, but with ICS or maybe little higher performance will enlighten me.

Pictures Resizing

Ryou — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:28:38 +0800

Hey Guys!

Recently I've taken a lot of memorable photos during some vacations.

I would like to upload them into my friendster's profile.However,all of the photos are larger than 2MB.
I'm using Vista so It seems that I can't use the XP Uploader.

Therefore I'm thinking of resizing the photos to smaller than 2MB.But it takes me a long time to resize it one by one.

So I'm wondering is there any way to resizing photos in quantities?
For example,can I resize 10 pictures altogether?

Problem on Messenger Plus! Live

Ryou — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:02:19 +0800

I have been using Messenger Plus! Live for quite a few month.It's indeed a wonderful extension to the original WLM.

However,recently I have faced some problem.I can't open an instant messaging window when I logged in to my account.I can still see my contacts online but I can't chat with them.

The problem is solved once I removed the Plus!
But I can't use the features provided by Plus! anymore.

Anyone knows how to solve the problem?
