Can I use Japanese PS4 Slim here?

roxas1403 — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 23:08:49 +0800

Hi! I did some reading about owning a PS4 bought from overseas and wanting to use it when you go back to your home country. I bought the PS4 Slim in Japan and brought it back to Bolehland (or do we call it Malu Apa Bossku land now?). I did some digging: the console is dual-voltage(?) and so with our power supply it can withstand it.

Do I need to buy a step-down transformer? I just want to make sure. That is all. Thanks!

Copy the suspicious files to flash drive, delete and reboot.

Hi there,
I don't know what happened to my MBP when I reboot / boot it. Safari and Firefox suddenly launch on their own, they are not in my Login Items list, and Firefox is my default browser. I tried a solution to reset my user account, but I guess it was outdated since what is explained wasn't the same as what I see on screen. I checked my LaunchAgents folder and the like, I can't seem to find both of them in the folder, though there are .plist files that I don't recognize. I went to Safe Boot. Both of the browsers did not open at launch. So I guess that's a good thing? Also, I have Chrome in my MBP, but surprisingly it's not affected.

MBP details:
- MBP 13-inch, Mid 2012
- macOS Sierra version 10.12.2

The .plist files that I don't recognize:
com.xDphswkO.plist
com.owobkxfxrmyi.plist
com.bebled_versine.plist
com.lipogenetic.plist

Is it safe to delete the files mentioned? And I found that the first file is running when I looked at Activity Monitor.
As for plug-ins, I checked for both browsers - they don't have any suspicious ones.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Where to buy pepperoni in Kota Kinabalu?

roxas1403 — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 16:38:53 +0800

Hi, I've been wanting to try making my own pizza but the only problem is to find decent pepperoni slices. I don't know where to find them in KK, and if there is an online supply store that can ship it would be okay as well.

Any help is appreciated

WTA: Which Windows is better?

roxas1403 — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 14:08:27 +0800

Hello!
I'm going to join the Macbook family soon and I wanted to install Windows on it.
I will use BootCamp so I'm not sure which Windows should I install.

Are Windows 8 and 10 okay (okay by means, not laggy or anything) on a Macbook?

Would love to know your opinions!

SHOPPING TIME!!

How it works:

QUOTE

1) Reply to this thread (don't quote first post please!) by giving me the link of your items. (Do not PM for price quote.)
2) I will then give you a price quote in Ringgit based on the time I convert the currency.[Example: $40 = RM175.34 (25/9) = RM176 (round up)]
3) Once confirmed order we will proceed to the payment process.

Process:

QUOTE

1) Pay for [Price of Item + Process Fee (10% of Price of Item) + Shipping to my US Warehouse].
2) I will place the order.
3) Once arrived to warehouse, I will inform you on the arrival and we will proceed to payment for shipping to your house.
4) Pay for [International Shipping Charges + Consolidate Fee + Fuel Surcharge + Process Fee (Fixed RM10)]
5) I will do all of the necessary procedures and your items will be shipped in 2-4 weeks (depends on which speed of shipping did you choose)

PRICE QUOTE, SUMMARIZED:

QUOTE

1) Ship to Warehouse
PRICE OF ITEM + PROCESS FEE (10% OF ITEM PRICE) + SHIPPING COST TO US WAREHOUSE
Example: $49.45 + $4.95 + $9.99 = $64.39 = RM282.21 (25/9)

2) Ship to Malaysia (your house)
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES (based on volumetric weight of item) + CONSOLIDATE FEE + FUEL SURCHARGE + PROCESS FEE (Fixed RM10)
Example: $32.70 + $5 + $4 + RM10 = $41.70 + RM10 = RM182.84 (25/9) + RM10 = RM192.84

Payments are to be made to my CIMB account.

Shipping to your house will be either via DHL or FedEx

~Happy Shopping!!~

Help with turning on Xbox

roxas1403 — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:30:36 +0800

So my Xbox 360 can't work because whenever I turned it on, after 1-2 seconds it turned off. Tried it again and the same thing happened. The power supply light turns from orange (off), green (on) and orange again when I tried to turn on the console. I did try to turn it on again by plugging the power cable to the main power source (the wall, not extension cord), and it still didn't work. The console didn't have a red ring. Is it possible that the console is overheated?

Should I bring it for a repair service? If so, how much would that cost usually? Prefer to have it repaired in KK Sabah.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Biasiswa Kerajaan Negeri Sabah

roxas1403 — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 12:57:08 +0800

So I applied for it last April using my first semester's result (right now semester 2, first year) and I was wondering when they will announce the result. A friend of mine is a BKNS scholar but she applied after STPM which was last year and she said it was about a month after the application deadline. If there's anyone out there that applied when they were in their second semester, please let me know when did they announce it.

Also, any news for JPA PIDN 2015 results as well? The one they opened for application in May.

The waiting is making me anxious.

Anyone taking Psychology in UMS?

roxas1403 — Sun, 03 Aug 2014 04:19:48 +0800

Hello.
UPU result is coming soon and I was just wondering about a few things about taking the Psychology course in UMS. The one I applied is Counselling Psyhology.

I am really hoping that if there's anyone that can answer these questions:

1) What are the subjects taken in the course?
2) Do you get some kind of allowance there?
3) General question: How's the orientation week?
4) Is it guaranteed to get accommodation there?

Newbie questions. I know.
For question number 2, I took matriculation and we receive allowance every month; hence the question is brought up.

Please. No flaming or whatsoever. I just want some information on the university because the website didn't have much.

Any advice or tips are appreciated
Thank you.

CLOSE THIS THREAD PLEASE.
