Tanix TX3 Mini vs Xiomi Mibox 3S China version

Coisox — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 10:35:18 +0800

Hi, I can find both item at almost the same price RM140-160. So should I buy Xiomi?

Tanix TX3 Mini S905W 2GB RAM 16GB

International English XiaoMi MiBox 3 Mi Box 3S

These are some fact that I collect. Correct me if I'm wrong:
1. Xiomi need to root before install KODI. Tanix preinstall KODI.
2. Xiomi after rooted, can't 4k Netflix like the china version. Tanix won't 4k Netflix whatever we do.
3. The Xiomi which I share the link, must be non-AndroidTV but normal Android due to the cheap price.

So can I conclude that the only different between those two items are the casing?

To ask: Lenovo Y700 + m

Coisox — Sat, 13 Aug 2016 22:04:02 +0800

Hi, its has been too long since last time I follow the world. Now I want to buy new laptop but a lot of jargon not clear.

My needs:
- To buy Lenovo Y700 M8MJ bundle with 1TB HDD
- To add 250GB SSD

At first I was planning to buy SAMSUNG EVO 750 and buy HDD Caddy to replace the CDROM. Then I learn about mSATA, M.2 which I believe could meet my needs without removing the CDROM.

My problem on using Caddy is that I can't find official Lenovo Caddy for that model. I might buy universal Caddy which may not fit perfectly into the CDROM. I know it will work but the color+curve may a little bit off from the real CDROM.

So here're my questions:
1) How many type of SSD out there for laptop beside mSATA and M.2?
2) Can Y700 support any type of SSD above or my only choice is use Caddy and replace CDROM?
3) If you answer that I can use SSD from question 1, does it mean for all Y700 variation?
4) Is official Lenovo caddy exist for this model?

p/s: pardon me for not googling for these info myself. it may takes too long. i need to make my decision by tomorrow. thats why i ask here. thx

Blogspot Custom Sub Domain

Coisox — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 00:15:51 +0800

Hi, I want to point two subdomain "ali.onepower.my" & "ahmad.onepower.my" to "cempaka.blogspot.com" & "rembulan.blogspot.com". Both blogspot are from different user account.

I follow this steps but got confused:
https://support.google.com/blogger/troubles...rd=1#ts=1734117

Q1: Must "ali.onepower.my" & "ahmad.onepower.my" changed to "cempaka.onepower.my" & "rembulan.onepower.my" in order for this to works? I means, must the subdomain and the targeted blogspot use the same name?

Q2: If they can have different name, kindly guide me how to set using "cPanel Simple DNS Zone Editor". Here's my current setting:

NAME | TYPE | RECORD
ali.onepower.my. | CNAME | ghs.google.com //this should point to cempaka.blogspot.com
ahmad.onepower.my. | CNAME | ghs.google.com //this should point to rembulan.blogspot.com
s6j3vdeluyi4.onepower.my. | CNAME | gv-w72zttl3ox32jr.dv.googlehosted.com //this got from cempaka.blogspot.com publishing setting
uib6iqkszi3v.onepower.my. | CNAME | gv-zvrbkp7slynayb.dv.googlehosted.com //this got from rembulan.blogspot.com publishing setting

From my setting, I can't tell how the DNS would know which is for which unless I can set something like:
ali.onepower.my. | CNAME | gv-w72zttl3ox32jr.dv.googlehosted.com

I cannot connect to Unifi. I've called Unifi CS to reset my password but still no luck. Here my router's log:

And here's my router's setting:

Can someone tell me whether:
1) I type in wrong Unifi username/passsword
2) My router may have broken (but I tried with my 2nd router WRT54GL still cant connect)
3) It's my router's setting fault

I borrowed my neighbor's router (TM stock router) and connect to my modem and successfully connected (using his Unifi account). Which means, my modem is OK and the Unifi cable is OK.

Transfer preinstalled Win8 to SSD

Coisox — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 03:49:36 +0800

Hi, just bought Y510p with Win8 preinstalled. My goal is to replace the HDD with my old SDD.

I've got the product key using a tool but cannot find Win8 ISO. Even many website say that can get officially from MS but where? Too many higher version (eg Pro, Enterprise) at PirateBay while I just need the same version as my preinstalled os.

So here's what I believe the easiest way:
1. Using Acronis to ghost into external HDD
2. Create Acronis bootable DVD
3. Replace HDD with SSD
4. Boot PC into Acronis bootable DVD
5. Restore ghost image into new SSD

But my problem is, should I image all the hidden partition (WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV, LRS_ESP, PBR_DRV) as well? Then when recover, I'll select all 5 partition (4 hidden, 1 os) to be put into the SSD?

Fyi, my SDD already got 2 partition; 1 OS and 1 data. And I want to keep the 2nd partition intake.

=============================================

If by any chance u can give me link to ISO so that I can clean install using the product key like the old days, it will be alternative option for me. I don't mind losing my Y510p recovery partition coz I can download the driver from website.

How to differentiate new set vs display set?

Coisox — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 17:52:58 +0800

Regarding buying AP set,

How could we know whether the seller is selling us display set and claim it as new set?

Since the seller can simply put new warranty sticker, factory reset, clear all photos, etc.

Can we check last factory reset date? Assuming the seller never installed sim card or link the device to google account.

Need notification manager

Coisox — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:09:06 +0800

Please recommend a few android software that can read/parse the notification title/summary and when meet my filter criteria, it can trigger another apps or play another ringtone.

This is my exact scenario...

As u know, WhatsApp group can only has same ringtone. So I plan to silence this ringtone and let the "Notification Manager" to take over the ringtone job by reading all the top notification summary and when meet specific criteria, it can trigger another ringtone. This can also applied to any other notification (eg SMS, Tango, Gmail)

So I can set it something like:

WHEN summary CONTAINS UPPERCASE('%KAJANG%') THEN PLAY "download\kawanku.mp3"
WHEN summary CONTAINS UPPERCASE('%KUIH%') THEN OPEN "boatbrowser"
WHEN summary CONTAINS UPPERCASE('%TANGO%') THEN DELETE notification

Lets say I have 2 columns with 3 data:

Fruit | Amount

Mango | 6

Whats the fastest way (without creating another column for SUMIF) to create a bar chart which display 2 bars where the 1st bar is Apple=10, and the 2nd bar is Mango = 6.

500GB HDD + 24GB SSD

Coisox — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 09:36:14 +0800

I just bought Lenovo S400 with 500GB HDD + 24GB SSD. Please explain bout the HDD especially the SSD part.

1. Does the 24GB function similar to 8MB cache in desktop HDD?
2. Can I format and use as normal partition (eg: install OS only and set the 500GB as D drive)?
3. Does it needs special software or driver to operate?

Using Disk Management Tools, I can see 2 Disks.
.....1) The 500GB marked as:
..........File System: NTFS
..........Status: System
..........Type: Primary
..........Unused: 4xxGB

.....2) The 24GB SSD (which spiltted into 2 partitions 18.36GB+4GB) marked as:
..........File System: Other
..........Status: None
..........Type: Primary
..........Unused: 0B

But I can't see or use the SSD in windows explorer.

What spec determine wifi router signal strength?

What spec determine wifi router signal strength?

Coisox — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 09:36:41 +0800

I'm using DIR-615 Standard unifi modem. The box state that it's wireless N. But why my old WRT54g wireless G produce much stronger signal? N should be stronger than G right?

Currently WRT54g is used as AP. Both DIR-615 and WRT54g placed at the same spot but in my master bedroom, DIR-615 signal 1-2 bar while WRT54g 2-3 bar.

I'm planning to either:
1. buy new wireless N router which has stronger signal (get rid both DIR-615 and WRT54g)
2. buy antenna gain for WRT54g (DIR-615 cannot change antenna)

So if I'm going for the first choice, how to determine router's strength? Not all box display Dbi. Or it's better to go for the 2nd choice since most of antenna gain tell the Dbi?

How to cheat webapps about our browser info?

Coisox — Thu, 31 May 2012 11:06:21 +0800

I can't login into DiGi OCS d'Chat with my current browser. Coz it say only support for Firefox 8 (mine is FF 8.0.1). I think their webapps still compatible with my browser. They just hard-coded like that to be safe imho.

So can I cheat their webapps by "changing" my browser info to be v8 instead of v8.0.1?

Display ROWNUM range for each set

Coisox — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:45:37 +0800

Let say my SQL is:

CODE

Select ROWNUM BIL, A.NAMA, B.HARI From TBL1 A, TBL2 B Where A.PK = B.REF_ID

And the result is:

CODE

BIL NAMA HARI
1 Samad Isnin
2 Hassan Isnin
3 Ayam Isnin
4 Ikram Selasa
5 Acap Selasa

Please modify my SQL so that the result is:

CODE

RANGE NAMA HARI
1-3 Samad Isnin
1-3 Hassan Isnin
1-3 Ayam Isnin
4-5 Ikram Selasa
4-5 Acap Selasa

Regex: Swap whitespace position

Coisox — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:31:57 +0800

Hi, it's another regex question. I'm not sure how long do i need to understand regex. So I need another example from sifu here.

To code below consist of DOUBLEQUOTE SPACE SPACE SPACE TAB BCD

CODE

" BCD

I want to insert an A just before BCD and swap the 3xSPACE and a TAB position with the DOUBLEQUOTE.
The result should be SPACE SPACE SPACE TAB DOUBLEQUOTE ABCD

CODE

"ABCD

I don't mind multiple steps. VB.net solution is my priority but javascript also can.

VB.net split()

Coisox — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:06:07 +0800

Why does "idsortableScroll".Split("abcd").Length produce 2 but "aaa".Split("b").Length produce 1?

How does Split works in VB.net since in javascript, both should return same result.

Where to buy laptop monitor & cable?

Coisox — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:10:07 +0800

I hope I'm on the right section not garage sales. Does malaysia/forum has laptop monitor dealer/supplier? I can only find online overseas supplier. Coz thinking of putting Samsung Full HD LED into my puny HP DV6 monitor.

BTW, dont suggest to buy direct from HP/DELL/etc. I want 3rd party solution.
