Bulge at front tyre

Stormflyer — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 10:36:49 +0800

Hi all, I just sent my Vios to the service center yesterday and found out that my front right tyre has a small bulge at the side (probably hit a divider or smtg). I'm thinking of replacing it but not sure which are the better options:

1) Replace the bulged tyre with the spare tyre (they're the same size if i didnt check wrongly) and continue using the car. The bulged tyre kept as spare.
- since I don't drive my car much (2 years+ in, about 12k mileage), was thinking if i can do this?

2) Replace the bulged tyre with the spare tyre, go change the bulged tyre and keep as spare.
- with this then i can utilize the spare tyre all all 4 of the wheels are same brand

3) Drive to tyre center and change the bulged tyre straight (spare remain as spare, not touching).

Of all 3 options, which one do you think is the better, safer option i should do? Not sure if just changing 1 front tyre is advisable? I checked the condition and thread of the other good tyre and it is still in good condition (can use maybe another 2 years?) Quite a noob in car so really appreciate the help of all the sifus here.

Advice what to do

Stormflyer — Wed, 05 May 2021 12:24:29 +0800

Hi all, my dad recently just got discharged from hospital (after getting heart attack and procedures to "unclog the arteries").

So doctor say cannot work for 30 days. But my dad very workaholic and has his own business (involves heavy work) so he very grumpy duduk rumah. Wanting to go out and resume business even though we can still get by just okay without opening the business for a month.

Any advice what my dad can do to make him more wiling to stay at home? I tried movies, phone games (sudoku and candy crush) but all he don't want cause not interesting or don't want to learn (not tech savvy). Thought of gardening but no space to do gardening at home.

Quite frus since a lot of things he doesnt want/like to do.

Carrying knife for camping/hiking purposes?

Stormflyer — Wed, 23 May 2018 00:39:53 +0800

So i've been browsing a lot here and there and try to this question.

Is it legal for someone to carry knife (like columbia knife) along with them when they go camping or hiking?

Even if it's allowed, what if you're stopped and search on the way to the hiking trip or on the back from the trip? Does the 'carrying knife for hiking/camping purposes' still hold?

Been reading here and there but can't seem to find anything much related to outdoor activities.

Buying new or used phone?

Stormflyer — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 15:13:59 +0800

Hey peepos. Am looking to change to a new phone with a 1.2k budget.

So I've been looking at the Honor 7x or the Huawei Honor Nova 2i.

However I'm also considering to get a used phone (either Huawei Mate 9/Oneplus 3T) with around that budget as well.
Reason for it is because I was hoping (not a must) for OIS for video recording as well as the USB type-c for faster charging.

Which do you you guys think would be a better choice? I'm afraid to get he 2nd hand phone (despite having 3-4 more months warranty) as I've not bought any 2nd hand phone before. Takut. XD

Thanks in advance for the opinion!

Asus H61M
1 TB Western Digital
4GB RAM
Sapphire HD 7750 1GB GDDR5
Any DVD reader

Any review on this? How good are the specs?

Should I go with the ASUS mobo or should I get the Asrock B75M-DGS? Cause I heard that the Asus H61M is a very old model. :/

[WTA] Dota 2

Stormflyer — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:08:57 +0800

So I am going to build a rig to play Dota 2 with these specs:

i3 3220

I wonder if I can play Dota 2 at mid-high settings at a constant 60 fps?

A6 6400k vs a8 5600k vs i3 3200?

Stormflyer — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 21:52:11 +0800

So yeah.. I went lowyat today and did some survey.

I was planning to build a custom rig with quite a limited budget to do some Dota 2 gaming on mid - high setting at 60 fps constant, some facebook-ing, some youtube-ing and also some spreadsheet work.

I was told that I can choose between the i3 3200, A6 6400k and also the A8 5600k ( both AMD cpu got built in gc).

So can someone advise me to which one I should choose? In terms of life span, performance etc etc.

I was also told that with the 2 AMD proc, i dont have to buy any GC as there are built in already.

Besides, I also wanna compare between Sapphire HD 7750 and Gigabyte GT630. Which one would meet the Dota 2 mid - high setting 60 fps constant requirement? ( Note that it'll be played on a 20" led monitor)

Thanks in advanced for the help.

[WTA] Custom rig for gaming

Stormflyer — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:32:29 +0800

Well, I plan to build a custom gaming rig just to play Dota 2 on middle setting.

May I know what is the lowest price I can get one and if possible, list down the hardware combo as well?

I don't want to set a budget as I want to see how low it can go. I'm quite broke actually.

Thanks.
