Used iPhone originality

pallmall — Tue, 19 May 2020 22:02:14 +0800

So i came across seller selling iphone claiming original set (LL/XA/EA/MYA/etc.). The thing is;

1. Fullset no earphone/earpod - if really 2nd unit, it should come with it right? Even the box doesnt have compartment for it. Box can be bought, though.

2. Origin (LL/MYA/etc etc). Now as far as i know that can be change by changing ic region chip. Was being told most if not all are refurbished unit. Hard to find a really 2nd unit regardless LL or MYA or whatever it is.

3. Memory tampered/modify - usually ip7/ip7+ affected. Original 32gb but modify to 256gb. Not a real issue but it means the phone already modified and dissassembled, no?

4. Sticker at screw beside lightning port - i guess that clearly meant it is already dissassembled? Not to mention originality of the part, especially screen hard to justify?

And the list goes on.

The thing is that it came across to me that most of the buyer (at least most of my friend) having issue with their phone after that, and only knew after bought it. I may be wrong or am i right on this?

Asking about grounding cable

pallmall — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 12:34:48 +0800

[attachmentid=4486908]

just asking fnf, is this grounding is necessary?

i did ask mr.google, and the answer is that for newer car, there is no need for this grounding anymore as the manufacturer already did the job.

however, judging from the comments (not attached, can find in fb) customer claimed that fc is getting better, aircond much cooler, pickup better, etc etc.

any opinion?

it cost about rm150 for wira i think, i did ask for my saga cost rm120 also, so before i installed it i better ask here, dowan waste money

Asking about DVI Cable

pallmall — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:38:41 +0800

[attachmentid=4418496]

as per attachment, my gc is using DVI-I connector, while my monitor is using DVI-D connector.
so i tried using DVI-D cable and also DL-DVI-D cable but monitor does not show any display.
i have no clue, maybe psu not enough also, but i dont think so, it must be because of the cable

here's the spec;

proc : intel i3 3rd gen
mobo : asrock b75 pro m
gc : asus gtx285 matrix
psu : gigabyte 600w
hd : 1tb
ram : 2x 4gb
monitor : samsung 21''

do i need to find DVI-I or DL-DVI-I cable or need new psu?

Regret of my life

pallmall — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:03:57 +0800

so i got an offer from a company with about 50% increase salary from my current company. but due to daily commute which is about 160km (pergi balik) i decided to decline that offer

then go office as usual, got email, no bonus. despite company making big profit, no bonus. and offer from that company i declined said at least 3x bonus/year, lots of benefits.
