Tap Water in Malaysia Safe to Drink?

Cee74y — Tue, 17 May 2016 13:21:38 +0800

Having done some research, I've come across that other countries such as Sweden provide safe tap water to drink without the need to boil or filter the water. Which got me wondering, is our country the same when it comes to tap water? Specifically for Wangsa Maju area in Kuala Lumpur and also Bayan Lepas area in Penang.

Price Check on Laptop Servicing

Cee74y — Sat, 09 Apr 2016 23:17:22 +0800

Hi lads,

What is the appropriate pricing for cleaning and servicing my laptop (SONY VPCSA, a quite complex model to disassemble). My problem with the laptop is the quick heating and slowing down due to congested dusty fans. I have not cleaned my laptop before for the entirety of my laptop's lifetime which is about 5 years. Asked around and found out that it is quite pricey being around 70-100. Is that price range appropriate. I am in KL area.

Has Anyone Tried Ultimate Nutrition IsoCool?

Cee74y — Sun, 27 Mar 2016 18:12:05 +0800

In accordance to darklight79's How to Spot a Good Protein, this supplement meets criteria mentioned in the post. Having Premium Whey Isolate as first ingredient, 0g carbohydrate, 0g fat, 23g protein out of 26g serving size and costing RM 2.59 per serving from MuscleManiaClub, this seems like the perfect protein supplement to go for on paper. So my question is, has anyone tried this supplement before? Or rather, is there something bad about this supplement that I have missed? Or is there any other better protein supplement to go for other than this? Please feel free to enlighten me should I missed out anything.

Whey Depot

Came across this on Facebook. RM400 for 20 lbs (2 x 10 lbs pack). 130 servings per pack, RM1.54/serving. Serving size 35g, protein 28g, 1g fat, 2g carbs. No Glycine, no Taurine. Seems like a good value protein. Has anyone tried it out? Planning to go for it if there is no negative review.

Problem description:

Hey people,

I've been trying to resolve this problem for a couple of days now. When I connect my LAN cable to the PC, it starts identifying the network and ends up with Unidentified Network (Public Network) which has no network access at all. Wifi works perfectly fine on both my iPad and laptop.

Failed attempts :
Connecting LAN cable to my secondary laptop.
Removing Bonjour service which is said to be causing the issue.
Resetting the modem by using the end of a pin and pressing the reset button for 5 seconds which I think I screwed up big here.

All help would be really appreciated.
