Room heats up during certain days/time

ChaosXP — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 17:14:08 +0800

My bedroom just heats up during certain times irregardless of the weather. often that not it usually occurs during Fridays around 5/6 pm the room just feels warm or maybe my skin is feeling warm ? Starts around that time and ends about 2-4 hours later. I stay in a condominium around the 9-12 floor. It makes you warm enough to sweat lightly despite the rain and wind blowing. Usually I would feel completely cool so the difference is obvious.

Sometimes it happens at night too. But 5/6 pm Fridays is more consistent than most days.

It's been happening over 5 years already. The only thing I have not done yet is purchasing of specialist equipment to empirically measure this phenomenon. Even that I don't exactly know where to start, what do you guys suggest ? Any possible explanation for this ?

Edit : Have to add that the heating only affects the bedroom and the adjacent area about 2-3 meters away from it. Any further and there's no heat at all

Purchasing handphones/accessories online

ChaosXP — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 15:07:43 +0800

I intend to buy some phone and wireless earbuds (TWS) online but why would the cheaper ones available in lazada/shopee usually want to unseal the product to register and more importantly "check for problems first" ?

There were some who say they can register the product without unsealing it but those are a usually priced higher. It's a bit tad confusing tbh.

Any clarification on this ?

1440p (QHD) 27" 1ms IPS 144hz+ monitor under 2k

ChaosXP — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 22:32:32 +0800

So far I have narrowed it down to these few

LG Ultragear 27GP850-B
TUF Asus VG27QL1A
MSI M27Q
Acer Predator XB273UGS
Benq EX2780Q
MSI MAG274QRF-QD

I was thinking of LG as my first choice as the monitors I bought lasted for 4+ years. Currently coming from 23" IPS 60hz 1080p 4-5ms-ish monitors.

LG price range is pretty close to other models like the MSI MAG274QRF-QD, so will be including that.

Any other models I am missing out that has similar specs ?

Aesthetically wise, I dont mind how it looks externally. Color accuracy is important. Gotta have very little to none backlight bleeding problems too. No curved screens.
minimal bezels.

Will be working and gaming with it.

Edit : I play more FPS nowadays. Hence the 144hz minimum.
PC is somewhat dated so it wont be likely push beyond 120+fps in 1440p settings

Probably might get another one later to hook them up together.

I am running on an nvidia card so G-Sync/compatibility is necessary right ?

Do I need to provide more info ?

Plastic smell in drinking water / water supply

ChaosXP — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 22:54:17 +0800

Recently there was some old rusty copper pipping that was replaced with some shiny new plastic pipes like these ones here :

I was thinking that it was all well and good since the rust is significantly reduced until another problem emerges : Plastic smell ?

Sometimes it smells so bad it clings to the clothes and towel but it has reduced over the months. It has an earthly smell when its mild but it gets a stronger sharp chemical smell.

Now onto the next problem : carbon filter with UV water is doing jack shit to filter these new pollutants and its getting into my drinking water. I can smell it in the drinking water but it has NO taste.

Can someone suggest how do I deal with this as drinking water is the primary concern here.

Manipulative tactics

ChaosXP — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 19:11:25 +0800

Manipulative behavior demonstrated some folks, how do you respond to them ?

3 issues :

Asking for something, then another, then another ad infinitum

Questions everything you do, encouraging self doubt almost every time you engage with a conversation with them,
even outside of conversations they would strike a remote remark that would attempt to encourage self doubt every time
they are in the vicinity. Also lies and distorts truth, slips in half truths and changes them without any form of remorse
or constraint. If confronted with it , they will pass it off as a joke, he/she forgot the details or just ignores it completely.

Finally, extremely disruptive when you are in their presence. They will shout, holler, and make sudden noises like banging the floor, trashing some items
at random that will shock you when you are attempting to get stuff done. Basically any form of focused creative work is almost impossible. Learning is disrupted
and encourages perpetual nervousness.

Let's assume you can never completely avoid them and are forced to consistently engage with them on a daily basis, in your opinion, what's the
best form of self defense against these behavior ?

Sounds like some political propaganda camp but yeah.

Mask direction

ChaosXP — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 20:09:09 +0800

I noticed there are some manufacturers go just go with white while some has a blue as intended but it seems to fit weirdly and not that snug if I try to wear it white side in.

So are there special rules for each brand or its just universally accepted as "blue out" , "white in" to keep the bugs (air borne droplets) out ?

Nice office chair recommendation

ChaosXP — Sat, 11 Jan 2014 07:35:41 +0800

Hey gais, anyone can recommend me a nice office chair to sit on ? Sitting time more than 7 hours a day.

Budget under 1k.

Please suggest something other than ikea too. I'd like to know how many types of chairs there is out there in Msia

No need leather, just a seat comfortable enough to prevent my butt from burning in. If it can be reclined a bit it would be great. Arm rests are a plus but not necessary.

The other alternative is there anyplace I can get quality second hand or recon product ?

Random alt tabbing

ChaosXP — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:12:56 +0800

It happens randomly in windows 7 while I am doing everything (Games, internet etc)

I get alt tabbed all of a sudden and then after one second goes back into the same window.

Its not like you see it alt tab but rather it deselects from the current window and then reselects back.

Sometimes it just deselects and do not go back to the same window.

How do I fix this ?

I have malwarebytes pro and ran hitman and spybot but nothing turned up. Whats the beef ?
