Microsoft Surface Pro 7 - Auto Shutdown Issue

WisdomTrumps — Wed, 27 May 2020 20:42:52 +0800

Hello! I did a forum search and nothing come up. So hopefully I'm re-posting a known topic.

So only after I got a Surface Pro 7 then I know that it was a known issue that some devices will auto shut down if it is not plugged in.

I tried some of the recommended fixes on the internet such as:
- updating windows
- force shut down
- adjust the power settings

But the problem still persist so, I wonder if anyone has come up with a fix?

If not, I'll probably return it to the shop to claim the warranty. Which s*** because I used this laptop for work regularly.

Cheers.

BIT BACKSTORY
About 4 years back, I was a chunky 130kg man. Then, like any other who decide to lose weight, I started out with an exercise regime and diet plan. The first 10kg was a breeze, I'm sure most people on the weight lost journey would know this too. There's nothing particularly exciting or extraordinary about my exercise regime, it was more consistent than anything. Come one evening, I came across an interesting documentary called "What the Health" and it peaked my interest when I learned about this "super" diet, plant-based diet (aka veganism). It started out as an experiment, then come 3 months, 6 months, then a year. AND NO, I'm not here advocating anyone to start a plant-based diet, that's for you to decide on your own. As for my personal experience, it worked wonder for me. My diet before this was in no way healthy or balanced, I was a carnivore who could devour a bucket of KFC in one sitting. So it shocked those around me of this dramatic shift. After a year on plant-based diet, I shifted to lacto-ovo vegetarian diet due to inconvenience as I have just started out on a new job. By early 2018, I have lost 40kg, sitting on 90kg. Due to the nature of my job, I had to abandon my exercise regime and was also drinking pretty heavily at time. Suffice to say, I regain some weight and lost some muscle mass. Now come to present time, I decided to hop back on the wagon and continue to shape my body.

CURRENT

Objective: Lose 2 - 3kg per month (hoping to hit my target by the end of 2020)

Floor Area & Built-up Area

WisdomTrumps — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:36:58 +0800

Hello Everyone,

I have done a little googling but little to no luck, I can't find a definitive conclusion as to how to calculate between floor area and built-up area.

Anyone with experience with this especially those themselves that do the calculation with software such as AutoCAD?

My questions are:

1) Which part of the building do you take into account in the calculation (walls, balcony, terrace, flat roof, corridor, etc.)?

2) What should be excluded?

3) Which point of the part of the building should you calculate for? (half the balcony, half the wall, etc.)

Sorry if my descriptions are confusing.

Thank you.

Regards,
WT

P.S. I am hoping for answers more suitable for high-rise building or more than 2-storeys.

Hello Everyone,

I have just got my Bachelor of Business not long ago and I am currently employed.

But I feel like continuing my study part time.

I thought of MBA but I was denied admission because it requires me to have at least 2 years working experience to apply.

So the question here is, "What & Where can I study for a master in Kota Kinabalu?"

1) It doesn't necessary have to be related Business. IT also can.
2) Which Institution/University.
3) Where & Contact.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

WT
