EVPAD vs Unblock Tech

Vaedoris — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 17:23:07 +0800

I own an Unblock Ubox and the picture quality of the main streaming app Ublive is no more than 720p. Most channels are like maybe 480p, which suck.

My connection is 100 Mbps down and it's quite consistent. So, it's not a problem with my internet.

Just wondering, which one provides better streaming quality, EVPAD or Unblock?

Thanks

Blu-ray + DVD Player Recommendations

Vaedoris — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:11:11 +0800

Hi, I'm looking to replace my old Samsung DVD player with a Blu-ray player that can also play DVDs.

I don't know much about players other than ports. So, please give me some good recommendations with reasonable price tags.

Thank you for your help

Package Forwarding Service

Vaedoris — Wed, 22 May 2013 12:33:58 +0800

Hi, I need advice on package forwarding services in the US.

I'm planning to buy something on Amazon but as you know many Amazon items are only shipped to US address only.

So there are many services (so called "package forwarding service") in the US that let one buy items on the internet and help you ship the items around the world.

Have you ever used such a service to send items you bought from a US website to Malaysia?

How much does it usually cost?

Do you know any reliable package forwarding service provider?

How does it work?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate section to create this topic. So I apologize first if I've made a mistake here.

M.Sc in Mechatronic or Mechanical or other field?

Vaedoris — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:37:39 +0800

I'm a recent graduate of Mechatronic Engineering, and I plan to study in a specialized field because studying for a bachelor degree gives one sort of introductory-level knowledge in engineering.

What do you think about the job prospect of someone who holds an M.Sc in Mechatronic or Mechanical?

What other field can or, maybe, should I consider?

Also, for a foreigner, is it hard to get accepted by the National University of Singapore?

Thank you

Computers for Internet Cafes

Vaedoris — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 08:30:37 +0800

I don't know the suitable sub forum to post this and I am kind of noob with computer hardwares; so I want to apologize first.

I just want to know why are internet cafe computers so responsive and fast?

Is it only because internet cafes use good hardwares?

What about on the software side?

Of course there are internet cafes with not so good computers but there are many good cafes nowadays and I am talking about the good ones here.

Modem-Router Recommendation

Vaedoris — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:06:00 +0800

Personal equipment
I'm currently using TP-LINK TD-W8901G in my apartment and it's SHITT!

Problem details
My router is located in my bedroom, and the signal it emits is incredibly unstable and weak at 10 to 20 meters away.

It's so frustrating and funny that I can receive FULL signal strength from my neighbours' routers but I get almost no signal from my own!!!

So I am planning to buy a new one and please recommend me some good ones that give full signal strength at that distance range.

Thank you

Malaysian websites for discussing problems

Vaedoris — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 03:02:59 +0800

Can someone recommend any good and active websites, with largely Malaysian community, where I can discuss about textbook, exam, and assignment problems?

I'd like to join a community that is stimulating where people only want to share their knowledge rather than just talking about universities and degrees.
