Spinning reel alternative recommendation

alpha33 — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:42:22 +0800

i know this is in the wrong section, but that fishing thread is kind of slow.
my 10++ years STX40 decided to give up few months back and been looking for a similar alternative.
the specs is as below:

Soron STX40:
Bearings: 11 HPCR
Configuration: Right or Left Hand
22lb Max Drag; Left/Right hand retrieve
Gear Ratio: 5.1:1
Line Capacity: 10/210
Duragear Gears for Long Life
Corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing

Was aiming for Zata SP40 but all are sold out or discontinued.
Is there any alternative similar to the specs above from Abu garcia which is still available?
primary used for snakeheads hunting.
30lbs braided(length unsure,but sufficient for my snakeheads hunting)

budget: previously bought it for RM400 ish.
shopee selling 2nd hand but at STX20 for almost rm500
not sure how much these reels cost now, so i allocating around RM500-700.

thanks in advance!

poco f3 users come, mobile data question

alpha33 — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 09:36:08 +0800

any poco f3 users here?need your help

out of the sudden, both my poco f3 have issue connecting to mobile data automatically.
it connects to wifi automatically no problem.
but when you leave the wifi zone, it will not connect back to the mobile data itself. I have to turn on and off airplane mode few times before it can reconnect.

both phones have no issue all the while until recently both phone installed public bank and public mutual app(both from playstore official) and this problem happens.

trying not to uninstall the app first since the pbe app needs to be reverify at the atm or a reformat.

or its poco itself forcing user to change phone?

xiaomi AX3000 help needed

alpha33 — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 11:49:24 +0800

Hello ppl.
Any xiaomi AX3000 mesh users here?I need some help and google is not helping much.

Added a new satellite to my current 2-pack AX3000 mesh system.
The newly added satellite does not connect to the nearest node, instead its connecting to the main node which is further upstairs, resulting in bad signal.

Is there any workaround for this?Lan cable method will not work for me in this situation due to the massive job needed.

or the other solution is to change to another Mesh system instead?

Thanks in advance!

*seems everyone is having this problem, and also guest network only works on main node instead of all nodes.

any AEM FIC6 Tuner?Advice needed

alpha33 — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 10:21:08 +0800

hello guys.
recently free abit, thought want to play with my campro piggyback.(AEM FIC6)

Problem:
Long cranking before engine started.
cruise drive or boosting is fine.

Issue started after i "reset" the ignition timing of the car via obd. And piggyback went crap.
Went for a retune, but the long cranking was not solved,(my bad also for not informing tuner)

If i were to fix this, which area should i be editing?

*I am pretty sure this is not a mechanical issue since the same hardware was used when i tuned in KL.
hopefulyl someone can shed some lights.

if the tune file is needed, i will upload it here.

[WTF]TPLINK C2_v1 AC750 FIRMWARE DUMP

alpha33 — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 13:11:51 +0800

hello, just trying my luck.
Anyone have the flash dump from TPLINK C2_v1 AC750 from malaysian set?
Any broken/spoilt C2 should work as long not bricked.
*I bricked mine after updating to a US firmware, and tried restore using TFTP.

i just revived mine using a russian dump, and updated to a Austria firmware.
Everything works fine now as an AP bridge or a streamyx modem.

I want to make it usable with a UNIFI(local firmware).

Hope someone can help.
thanks!

Any netflix user?

alpha33 — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 09:41:35 +0800

hello guys
i recently signed up for a free trial netflix account where credit card information needs to be entered.

then halfway through trial, my netflix account got hacked and accessed from brazil/columbia area. email the login email has been changed.
i thought it was a netflix problem. so i recreated a new account with the SAME email and got approved.

but on entering the credit card information,it says it has redeemed the free trial. thats when i knew something was not right.

i contacted netflix, netflix do indeed confirm my account has been accessed elsewhere.(even the log/history shows it)
i told them to totally disable my account, or at least remove my credit info. they said no one can access it, not even them.

so guys, is there anyway to remove this credit card information other than cancelling this card directly?
