National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Malaysia

edinbird — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 14:27:20 +0800

Hi...

Recently few personnels claimed to be from National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Malaysia came to my work place. They talked like a sales personnel and kept persuading me to commit a monthly donation package although I already agreed to make an one-off donation. This morning, came another one and this one really looked like a salesman. I guess NKF is genuine but does NKF hires these people (like full-time worker) to collect donation?

Thanks.

Proton Saga FLX CVT Oil no stock?

edinbird — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 11:19:54 +0800

Went to an Authorized Proton service center yesterday. Told told them I wished to change CVT oil (already 60km since the last change). Then left my Proton Saga FLX at the service center.

They called for car collection after 3.5 hours. When I made payment they said the CVT oil was not changed because "KL pun tak ada stok"... is this true?

They asked to come back for service after 10KM and will change CVT oil in next service. Can my CVT oil last for another 10KM?

This service (change engine oil, switch rear defogge, bulb FR turn signal lamp, change spark plug) >>> labour charge is RM150... is this too much?

[WTA] Toner Enhancing Spray

edinbird — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 00:29:32 +0800

Hi...

I read from the internet that a "toner enhancing spray" can be used to enhance the opacity of laser toner (on a laserjet print out) to create a sharper and darker positive/negative film.

Examples:

Do you know where we can buy similar toner enhancing spray in Malaysia?

U Mobile Broadband Manager - Quite High CPU Usage

edinbird — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 08:23:29 +0800

When "u mobile broadband manager" is opened (but without connected to the Internet), the CPU Usage always hovering around 10%~20% and my laptop becomes quite warm. Is this normal?

Without opening the "u mobile broadband manager", the CPU usage is around 1~3%.

Think of getting a 3G/4G USB modem (with wifi) or MIFI... Recommendation? Thanks.

Without part number - Normal?

edinbird — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 10:05:13 +0800

I bought two Kingston DDR2 sodimms.

In CPU-Z, only the Part Number of one of the memory modules was displayed while that of another was not shown. The same thing happened when I did memtest86+.

Is it normal for a Kingston memory module NOT to have Part Number?
