Super SOCO / VMoto TC Max

petrofsky77 — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:51:35 +0800

Hi all,

I've been thinking a lot about buying a fully electric bike for commuting to work daily, range is not an issue since my house quite nearby to my workplace. The only feasible bike for me to get right now is the Super SOCO / Vmoto TC Max, since the design looks like a proper motorbike and it's one of the more affordable EV bikes in our market right now. I'm also considering the upcoming Yadea Keeness, but right now there is no known info on when it is going to launch and the pricing for it. If anybody here is already using the TC Max, can I have some honest review about the bike, ie. in terms of usage, maintenance, general pros and cons of owning and using it?

Thank you.

Windows on ARM (WARM)

Hi all,

With the recent announcement by MS regarding the new age of of Windows AI, they have also unveiled a new slew of laptops that will be running on Snapdragon X Elite and Plus SoCs. Personally, I am intrigued to give this a try since I want the efficiency and great battery life of a Macbook, but with Windows OS, since most of the apps I use are only Windows. What are your thoughts on this? Are you willing to give this a try, or will this be another failure like the previous Windows RT?

{Need Opinion} Repaint or Wrapping

petrofsky77 — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 12:03:46 +0800

Hi all car sifus,

I have an aging 12 y.o. car, with still somewhat good original color on it, but it has now accumulated a lot of dents, scratches and blemishes over the years. As the original color is Orange, I am thinking of repainting it to either Red or Blue. Just wanted to get opinion, is it more worth it to repaint the car, or just go for wrapping which is slightly cheaper that painting? For both options, can recommend a good shop in Klang Valley?

{Help Needed} How to permanently mount

petrofsky77 — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 09:39:58 +0800

Hi,

As the title implies, I am trying to create a permanent mount from my Zorin OS 16.2 to my Synology NAS network share folder. I have no issues connecting to the folder via GUI, but I'm trying to get it auto mounted everytime the OS restarts. I have tried installing all SMB, NFS & CIFS dependency modules, edited and added the /etc/fstab file, but nothing seems to work. Anybody here knows what is the correct way of doing it?

Power Settings not showing graph

petrofsky77 — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 15:20:32 +0800

Hi all,

Need some help here. I am running Windows 11 Pro on an HP 840 G2 (unsupported). However, after installation, Windows detected that this system have 2 batteries and battery #1 is not present. This causes the power usage graph to not show anything since it reads off from Battery #1 instead of Battery #2 (the actual battery present).

Any ideas on how to disable Battery #1 permanently so that the power usage graph can be shown?

Recommend me a wireless headphone!

petrofsky77 — Fri, 27 Apr 2018 16:10:04 +0800

Hi, not sure if this has been posted before, tried searching but only found those subforums belonging to individual brands. I need help in choosing the best value for money Wireless Headphone under RM600. Prefer over ear but could also settle for on ear. No earbuds suggestions as I already have one. I've read too much reviews online and it seems that online suggestions are endless. So, i need your help to suggest me an all rounder from a user's perspective. Just looking for a set that has decent high, mid and lows. Not really into the rumbling bass thingy. For playback time, anything above 10 hours is good enuff for me. No preference on overall weight and design of the set, as long as not too fugly. Thanks.
