MBP 2015 15"

jam_lennon — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 15:40:19 +0800

Dear All,

Seeking for advise what should i do.

It started off with my mbp's battery is required to change (status: need service) and also the "T" key is not working.

I've sent my MBP2015 to computer shop to change battery, at that point of time the "T" key is just about to die, i thought it could somehow fixable on the membrane or just change the spoiled key (who knows it turns out the solution is to change the whole keyboard) yet at that time i did not locate more time to change the keyboard. I sneaked out during lunch hour and changing the keyboard could be 2-3 hours.

Then on the day after changed the new battery, the mbp easily hang like twice a day, at least once a day.
the behaviour is totally unpredictable. it start freezing while i am working.

it will started with browser freeze (i'd changed from Chrome to Brave), then Edge/Ms Teams will also freeze. if I didn't manage to restart the mbp within like 5-10mins then the whole laptop will force shutdown. I did tried kill the problematic apps via "Activity Monitor" but still eventually the whole mbp will force shutdown.

After like 1 month, I sent back the mbp to the shop for inspection, and meantime get the keyboard changed.

now the hang frequency is like only happen once in 2-3 days. but still it is unpredictable and disturbing.

my apps opened
- Brave
- MS Outlook
- Xcode
- Calendar/Calculator
- notepad
- MS Teams
- Excel
- MS Word
- Microsoft Remote Desktop
- TeamViewer
- WhatsApp
- Preview

is there any log i can refer to, to inspect the root cause of this hang. meantime i have using Mac Fan Control to control fan speed, cpu temperature is around 60-80c most of the time, the hang usually is around this range either.

ssd health is 50% and storage still got 150GB left out of 1TB, now observing GPU temperature.

register a northern region phone number

jam_lennon — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:14:04 +0800

hi there,

having a thought here
let say i got a number, say like 017-5xxxxxx it is northern region no. and it is maxis

then i convert 2 digi (this i know can work), if i re-register this 0175xxxxxx number at kl area, would be remain as northern region number?
as far as i know, calling cross region(center to northern, southern area to northern vice versa) is much expensive than calling same region

is there anyone can clarify regarding this?

jam_lennon — Wed, 30 May 2007 17:29:27 +0800

ok, i knew this is not the right section for me to ask
i need the solution but i cannot find the proper section to ask my question.

as simple as that, i need 2 host a https website, but the webserver aredi has 1 websiteA configured to the port 443, thus i have to use other port.

i've tried to disable the websiteA which aredi use up the 443, then my websiteB kicks in took over the port 443, everything went fine
when i type https://www.websiteB.com, it prompts me login and password. and successfully to open the website

but when websiteB point to port 444, i re-issue the cert.
websiteB prompt me for login and password. i just fail to login, i can assure that i've key in the correct login/password.

does any tried host https with not 443 port?
i did open the port 444 in firewall.
