hafizhans — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 10:46:30 +0800

Hi, need some help here.
Recently i cannot install .ipa file to my iphone 5, iphone 6s, ipad 2.
In iTunes, when i set the apps to 'Install' and then sync, on device the apps appear with 'Installing' remark,
but after iTunes finished syncing, the apps is gone from device.

previously, i've done the same things many time already, last time about a week ago, it worked just fine.
I even try installing the old version .ipa to see whether the problem lies on current .ipa,
but now even old .ipa got same problem.

i already update the phone to latest iOS version available.

remarks:
i have very basic iOS/Mac knowledge bcoz i never own one,
this was for company and i just started dealing with this stuff

thanks in advance

[UNIFI] Terminate VIP5, Subcribe Advance30

hafizhans — Sun, 18 Oct 2015 13:35:54 +0800

Currently VIP5 user, contract ends.
instead of upgrading, i wants to terminate first, then apply for Advance30.
this way i can get new modem, hypptv stb n etc.

just now, went to tm point,
they said if new application need to pay advance paymenent n also installation fee (if needed).

during my VIP5 installation, no installation fee is charged,
is Advance30 setup the same or not?
if same, i probably wont get charged.

[IT field] Not meet Job requirements

hafizhans — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 16:18:03 +0800

Hi,
recently a recruiter offer me to help submit job application to a company.
I asked her to email job details and I found out I did not even fulfill the main job requirements.
The requirements is 1-3 years as embedded engineer in Lunix.
I've done less than one year embedded software in windows and I used to learn coding in Linux during my study.
So, Im thinking apply je lah, not expecting the company will offer me for interview because of reason above.
3 days later I got the interview.

So my questions are:

1. Do the recruiter oversell me? because I did not mention doing embedded software in my resume
2. If you guys in my shoes, would you go for it?
