            <title>[WTS] MEIZU 21 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 12gb 256gb</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5553159</link>
            <description>. [b]Item(s):  MEizu 21 12gb 256gb UFS 4.0, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Amoled 120hz with HDR10+, Ultrasonic finger print reader, Ring-LED flash, Aluminium frame,&lt;br /&gt;                     Android 14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phone and everything that comes with the box, sim ejector, tpu case, warranty card, receipts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike most &amp;quot;Flagship&amp;quot; phone that comes with flagship Adreno CPU + Vapor chamber/heat pipes only, this comes with metal body frame, as well, , which many phones lack nowdays.&lt;br /&gt;So, even though this wasn&amp;#39;t targetted as gaming phone,, u can game or do high performance task without hiccup, no temperature throttle. &lt;br /&gt;Most plastic phones nowdays feels cool cause u don&amp;#39;t feel it through plastic but maxed out performance will suffer after a while, or if not, reliability in long term is not the best.&lt;br /&gt;This,,, i just tried gaming for long hours,, pubg or watever games,, it just keep flying. Even the 80watt charging doesn&amp;#39;t feel scary.&lt;br /&gt;Screen is Samsung made. The HDR is really nice when watching movie or even highly graphic insta reel. Everything else is, just on par like usual phones nowdays.&lt;br /&gt;Anything more, you can ask.&lt;br /&gt;Camera is really not bad, but not greatest. But, at least, apart from its stock camera,, all whatsapp or insta camera,, its close to natural and looks solid decent. Low light is practically good.&lt;br /&gt;I can take selfie photos at night, under white road light for Job loggout app(Infotech) and it detects my face everytime no issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Package includes: all above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Price: RM730&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Warranty: Remaining 7 months from Direct/Meizu . &lt;br /&gt;                    Also, i think i have registered for additional extended another 1 year warranty. Till then i havent checked it. I will confirm this soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Dealing method: Meet direct, test and verify everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Location: N9. S&amp;#39;ban or PD. Else, can be arranged, weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Contact method/details: 0177154490 - Siva,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Item(s) conditions: Condition 100%, not even tiniest scratch. Just the screen protector ade bubble but thats cause at first, it doesn&amp;#39;t look applied properly and my itchy finger tried to peel of and apply back,, but well, i&amp;#39;m not good, ade bit bubble,, bit can be applied at shop,, but i&amp;#39;m lazy even for that and phone still been flying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Picture: Will upload soon,, lavender purplish color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[b]Reason for sale: I actually wants something even smaller. by todays standard, this phone is small,, but i want those old day single hand usable phone. So, switching to smthing smaller lagi.</description>

I need software advice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i open Chrome&amp;#39;s task manager, it shows some info, it shows all the tabs, the websites and process(Urls) that is running. &lt;br /&gt;To my hatred, i be only using 1 or 2 tabs(and hnce just that much of webpage). But beneath those webpages, i can see A LOT of subframes url running beneath it. It&amp;#39;s just annoying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOr example, i opened a website Gsmarena. Then, i check on chromes task manager, it shows that website but under it, &amp;quot;Subframe&amp;quot;, there are so many(20-30) other Urls(process running on the webpages i believe). &lt;br /&gt;SO, can i ask how do i block those urls?? Is that using ad blockers? It just too many processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can add those urls to block list on my CHrome? Are there steps for it?</description>

Yes, it might not feel a lot,, but,, those who works here,, the buruh paksa,, the labors, form Bangla,, &lt;br /&gt;they are working here as their life depends on this. None of them have healthy skin. bla bla abou them.&lt;br /&gt;The temperature is really high,, like,, we be sweating crazy, not few mins,, but hours and EVERYDAY. Basically, the recovery is very hard.&lt;br /&gt;And talking about occupational health n hazrd shit,, well,, its in theory,, but if they were to follow that,, no job will get done, thats the nature of work here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, being exposed to scorching sun, while wearing safety helmet, ppe(thats basically useless against heat as the fabric itself decolourised in 3 weeks&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33;),&lt;br /&gt;so imagine the effect it have on skin. All this is fine if it&amp;#39;s only occasionally, but, its not,, its long, prolonged,, and EVERYDAY.&lt;br /&gt;Its always sweaty, oil, and yeah,, even after i got back home,, my body is tired everyday,, cause its too hot everyday and its harsh environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ofc there are workers here doing that, they do complain, many of them,,, but some of them,, their pay is on different level. they work inside tents. + they are 20s young, they think, they can push their body all they want. they dont know the effect it have in their future.&lt;br /&gt;The olds??? they consistently complain they wnna leave but they don&amp;#39;t have choice to leave,,cause,, they are old and this is the only job they know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE HELP I NEEd,&lt;br /&gt;IS THE any cloth that is heat resistant??&lt;br /&gt;I can do research about this,, but, i couldn&amp;#39;t find anything , and not gonna lie,, i dont even have time for THAT.&lt;br /&gt;I only get one day free and and that too only twice per month. So, for now,&lt;br /&gt;how or any idea?? any fabric or shirt that is heat resistant? against sun uv ray???&lt;br /&gt;@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, help on job hunt mybe,, i did graduate as chemical process engineering studnt,&lt;br /&gt;but struggled to secure after years, and ended on this.</description>

WHich is more durable?? are they around the same?? &lt;br /&gt;*usually 100k miles,, let&amp;#39;s say been driven equally average abuse, &lt;br /&gt;generally,, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cvt,, usually scary. Some tahan,, but if dah nak rosak,, mmg payah to recover,,, is this true??&lt;br /&gt;Cause,, i saw in shopee,, there is a shop that provide overhaul package,,RM3k. &lt;br /&gt;BUT, not for the 4-speed auto ? &lt;br /&gt;SO,&lt;br /&gt;The 4-speed auto,, usually not scary like Cvt,, but the one in SAge,, is it reliable?&lt;br /&gt;(i heard Saga uses few 4-speed models, Mitsu, Hyundai,, confusing),,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I DON&amp;#39;T WORRY ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY OR &amp;quot;shiftless&amp;quot; experience,,Jnji boleh jalan everyday.&lt;br /&gt;i don&amp;#39;t abuse also but not uncle driver la, brisk type a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If i buy, ofc i will do some major preventive maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;2. But, which will be easier to restore?? parts? &lt;br /&gt;WHICH ONE CAN RESTORE TO CONSIDERABLY HEALTHY LEVEL?&lt;br /&gt;- all being equal,, which one is doable/ease of repair?&lt;br /&gt;Avoid the one that is hard to repair. Nnti foremen *can used this reason to chrge extra extra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Let say once i restore,,, for example, the CVT Auto Clutch Damper,,Clutch Set Friction KIT VT2.&lt;br /&gt;But, for the 4-speed auto,,anything??  &lt;br /&gt;Which can be done durably? Is there computer diagnostic??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some times,, the cost is low,, but,, need frequent chnge.&lt;br /&gt;sometimes the cost is high,, but,, lasts long,, or v long if jaga elok.&lt;br /&gt;but somtimes,, costs too high,,last pun not long. Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;cvt or 4 speed??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I&amp;#39;m well aware,, cvt with clutch,, if sit in jam,, holding brake while in D,, in overheat. &lt;br /&gt;4 speed auto could be better,,&lt;br /&gt;Is the 4 speed auto in the Sage Fl/FLx/Blm 1.6 good enough??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*i pernah ade Wira 1.6 auto,, damn,, that is real ticking time bomb and no way to restore.&lt;br /&gt;My father Babied that thing, early oil chnge, managed to last 10years though,, but,, mileage just 80k,, n, kaput jugak.&lt;br /&gt;After that,, mmg rubbish,, never recover. NIght mare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEnerally, i found, very little helpful video,, only bashing videos.&lt;br /&gt;If for Toyota, my father now own 2002 camry, damn, most of things are there on Youtube.&lt;br /&gt;I can even learn about the mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUt for Saga,, i couldn&amp;#39;t find much</description>

            <title>Advice before using pcie riser cable</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5493389</link>
            <description>Hye i&amp;#39;m planing to use pcie riser cable, i got 2 questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - What brand should i use? Anything wrong with cheaper ones(Still yg ade brand la, like Tecware). The Cooler master, same spec, same length,&lt;br /&gt;but way more expensive, am i missing anything??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - Are things i should know before buying one?  and to know while using it?? Safety precautions.&lt;br /&gt;GPU is pcie device that is not hot swappable, hnce it must be secured tightly with screw,, if loose, any shock to pc can cause damage,&lt;br /&gt;or pc to restart(i experienced this already, multiple times, haha).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANyway, here is my spec,&lt;br /&gt;i3 10105f - Pcie 3.0&lt;br /&gt;Mobo - Asus Prime B460m R2.0   - 3.0&lt;br /&gt;GPU - Rx 570 sapphire PUlse - also 3.0 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXtras - i think this falls under modding,, but do advise me.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My setup is actually open setup. Yeap, gpu don&amp;#39;t have much steady support other rubber i used to make it stand straight lol.&lt;br /&gt;But i suspect, the weight of gpu is slightly bending my mobo. MOthboard also i placed on rubber cubes, place at bottom of every screw holes.&lt;br /&gt;hehehe. v stupid. But it works for 3 years now. No issue. Though i have t be careful not to accidentally hit the table with my long legs when standing up,&lt;br /&gt;else the shock causes pc to restart, sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;ANyway,&lt;br /&gt;I recently cleaned my open setup,,replaced new ruber(i think this one softer). And, it&amp;#39;s not happy,, smtimes, tk nk start.&lt;br /&gt;sO, OUT OF Fear, i dissambled it again.&lt;br /&gt;Now, MY PLAN,,, Mobo, i got nothing to worry,, i can place on flat cotton padded surface - all very light,, cooler pun basic je,,,i got this.&lt;br /&gt;BUt the heavy gpu,, i wnna isolate - Hnce using the riser cable.. and place it on different structure,, sitting flat - the gpu have MEtal Back plate. &lt;br /&gt;ANY advise??  Can the riser work well???&lt;br /&gt;IS it sensitive??? EVErything need to be held tightly and precisely gitu??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t have a casing currently and i hate to use one though, unless no choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Intel Cpu Bending</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5469680</link>
            <description>Hye everyone, purpose of this thread is, to know about an issue, but directly Malaysian pc user/builders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all over the internet that Intel cpu on lga 1700 is facing lots issue, one famous is stability/degradation issue of 13th and 14th.&lt;br /&gt;BUt another issue is the cpu itself bending. This is what i wnna talk about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Can you people(builders, normal users, etc) share here if u experience this ? Does the cpu get bent, compared to older gens.&lt;br /&gt;Can share pictures?? the bent seem to be very visible, a simple ruler can distinguish it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Could this be the reason that cpu is actually degrading and unstable?&lt;br /&gt;The cpu is so tiny, rigid(the die is like black glass cincau block), then tiny traces, solder on capacitors? All can withstand bending??&lt;br /&gt;the electrical pathway will now have different length, resistance, etc. Mybe that&amp;#39;s why it degrading?&lt;br /&gt;- How about heat cycle,, heating bent metal will bend even more/concave. And then cooled and repeated,, any thermal crack, integrity ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, Intel is Billion dollar comp with geniuses that sells a legit product with RnD, TESTED before selling.&lt;br /&gt;Surely, they would have tested many times and saw the bending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually don&amp;#39;t mind about temperatures, can manage unless i9/i7k.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, is the bending really fine?  All over reddit, people just say, its fine one la, but now, mcm2 issue.&lt;br /&gt;Even for upcoming socket, i read smwhere they will use same ILM,&lt;br /&gt;but also provide option better ILM(like server) with added price(sounds like only premium board will use while the budget market will have a product that might not last long?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Is contact frame a safe solution? This is another confusion i have. &lt;br /&gt;They are selling a product but one with whole purpose that would deny warranty. Is this legal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I start to feel that, cause dekstop custom builds are kind of niche segment,, they are treating us like experimental guinea pig,&lt;br /&gt;releasing products without proper testing, features with unclear benefit and implementation and over pricing in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXTRA. &lt;br /&gt;Internet is busy pointing to the same thing over and over again = Too much power/Heat spot/Voltages.&lt;br /&gt;Ofc, i think i gonna be entirely wrong cause im just a no one and out there those peoples are more,,professional.&lt;br /&gt;BUt question i do have. Teach.&lt;br /&gt;See, if its extra power related issue, i don&amp;#39;t think that alone will cause degradation cause cpus are made to basically operate at its rated clock and power continuously and very long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Cpus are not like tires, the more u use, the more it degrade but very slowly,, nope. Contoh, ssd have TBW but not cpu.&lt;br /&gt;In past, cpu either work(same performance) or just dead. &lt;br /&gt;Lasting beyond 3 years warranty, personally never seen cpu kaput after warranty also. Mybe other reasons but not due to time. I think all here knows that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) If more power gives degradation, no logic yet. Intel can&amp;#39;t decide length of warranty. Some people use for 1-2 hours/week,&lt;br /&gt;some use it 24/7. Some only push a lil, while some games/maxed load for hours,(llike i3 whch many people buys in our country for gaming) clock, boost power; high temps(stck cooler; many non tech savy still).&lt;br /&gt;In this instance, maybe after 1.5-2 years, cpu could be unstable or unable to hold the same clock? degradation? &lt;br /&gt;All this will point wildly varying lifespan, and warranty claims? &lt;br /&gt;Pls don&amp;#39;t say planned obsolescence cause this sounds too aggresive and obvious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, like i said in Point 2, could it caused by the bending?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess i will skip this whole generation.&lt;br /&gt;On amd side, 8 core 7000 is almost twice of 5700(but no igp and ddr4).&lt;br /&gt;12700 is in mid though, bending.</description>

            <title>Why can&amp;#39;t get full 100mbps on 2.4ghz</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5441902</link>
            <description>Hi everyone, my issue is wifi speed not hitting the target. Let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;My internet connection 100mbps - i test using wired connection, it&amp;#39;s a solid 100mbps and the same even on 5Ghz wifi(same distance  as well).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My problem is, when testing using 2.4ghz, i could only get 43mbps, regardless the distance(just next router, afterall, even the 5ghz can hit full speed till my far room). &lt;br /&gt;Why is this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The device:&lt;br /&gt;Router : Tp link Archer 1200 - checked the spec, supports 2.4ghz, n/b/g&lt;br /&gt;My pcie wifi adapter - TL-WN881ND : supports only 2.4ghz, and n/b/g as well.&lt;br /&gt;Both promises 300mbps up to 2.4ghz, using 802.11n.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, why can&amp;#39;t i get full speed??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advertisement misleading or deceiving ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Rant&lt;br /&gt;I spent more then just getting usb wifi adapter, more hassle for installation and ease of use(portability), no 5ghz,&lt;br /&gt;yet why can&amp;#39;t the adapter receive full receive,,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then tested on other devices: 2.4ghz on my phone as well, same 43bmps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, Why?</description>

            <title>Does android safety/security patch depend on brand</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5412560</link>
            <description>Hi i wish to be educated on 2 things here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I don&amp;#39;t know how to ask accurately since i don&amp;#39;t knw anything about software and coding, but let me try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a safe and secure use of Android phone, it needs security patches right ? &lt;br /&gt;Now, those security patches/updates/fixes for safety, is it produced differently based what brand/model(let say All running same OS) or just the version of OS and whether brand release the update or not? &lt;br /&gt;For example, let say la, Samsung and Vivo, both on SAME OS and up-to-date patch things,&lt;br /&gt;Will the update patch/level same? or is different by brand? Or Phone spec, like, Vivo motherboard, different security patch? OR is it all same security patch from Google release??&lt;br /&gt;Sorry if sound noob, i ask cause i don&amp;#39;t knw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lil own experience: I hv 1 Xiaomi Note 6 pro and Samsung J6. Xiaomi, mmg superior and fast spec wise.&lt;br /&gt;BUt, i can&amp;#39;t use Cimbclicks, can&amp;#39;t login, but i can do with Samsung. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OR TO make it short la &lt;!--emo&amp;:P--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; , If  2 phones, Both same OS and SAME patches, can expect same level of protection/safety?(that is contributed due to patches/updates)&lt;br /&gt;*Other factor aside.           Or do i still need to check what brand? Samsung ka, Vivo ka, Oppo ka, Techno ka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I have been eyeing some Global set phones. Way more tempting but, is it safe? &lt;br /&gt;I wanted to to buy Asus zenfone 8, less then 1.8k but global version. Is it a legit version from Asus, safe and intend to be used in Malaysia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, for Xioami pulaq,,, if i buy local set, is that Global set or how?&lt;br /&gt;Is it intended for use in Malaysia? with all possible security and safety compatibilities ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw Xiaomi official store, selling sets from Oversea, global set they say, is that same as the one we buy here locally?&lt;br /&gt;All MCMC certification,, anything i need to know ?</description>

            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5410990</link>
            <description>Hye everyone, i&amp;#39;m really kind of struggling to start. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need few advises or suggestion. &lt;br /&gt;Any companies where i can join as apprentice/protege/intern? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t mind low pay as i really want to gain/build experience first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My previous intern was next to nothing. I doesn&amp;#39;t involve real engineering knowledge, insufficient depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all. &lt;br /&gt;- My cgpa is low 2.8. I know this is very low for todays standard - I know how to set my expectation but, i still hope for my best chance.&lt;br /&gt;I will be ok if couldn&amp;#39;t perform higher due to my own effort. But again, i had external issues. &lt;br /&gt;I still performed at times(subs), just inconsistent.  So, just best try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- And the duration i been no in field is 2 yrs now(had my personal and family reason but lets keep that aside(maybe advice how to navigate still)).&lt;br /&gt;I been doing free lance jobs meanwhile. And, i know how to make sure my mind still active, all the knowledge gained.&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to start where i can keep building, gain expertise. &lt;br /&gt;An as for what field to venture, for my interest(NOT priority or picky) is towards research based actually, on energy industry, renewable industries perhaps, environmental solution or deals.&lt;br /&gt;Basically where i can work on projects, deal challenges as such.&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m less into managing kind of job such as safety or maintenance, except mybe for environmental engineering.&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m not being picky, not in that position, but just few interest.&lt;br /&gt;For example, i know some had the opportunity to venture into Production engineering, PDC and PIC handling, Or gaining competency certs like CePIETSO. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t knw yet how to begin, don&amp;#39;t have an idea where to begin.&lt;br /&gt;OFC, im not gonna aim at high end companies like Shell, Samsung, etc, to high for results.&lt;br /&gt;But any other companies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>no more Gpu&amp;#39;s below RM1000</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5381181</link>
            <description>Well, this is not a question or rage topic, just talk about my thoughts and i couldn&amp;#39;t find anyone talking about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally, GPU are for games, basically to play games, some sort of entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years ago, but still well within a decade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can buy a gt card in range of Rm200-450(considered expensive for gt cards already).&lt;br /&gt;And with this gt card, yeah, everything have to be on minimum settings, though, they can be afforded by students or young teens like i was.&lt;br /&gt;I was able to get a gt 630 ddr5 bck in my days, and that was one hell of a card. Sure i couldn&amp;#39;t max out most of current gamers, let alone at 900p lol.&lt;br /&gt;But the thing was, i was able to play almost any game. In short, i was actually able to have fun, with lots compromises, but hey, RM250, no need high end PSU.&lt;br /&gt;While my rich friends were rolling on Ps/Xbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, there was gtx cards, most value to price oriented card,, ranging from RM550 to all the the Rm1400.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the high ends, likes of GTX 780, 980, 1080. Ranging from Rm1400 - 2000.&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;But fast foward today:&lt;br /&gt;There are barely any cards(pls, lets not mix used cards here) below Rm1000.  Yes there are some gt 1030(but seriously? terrible value, i don&amp;#39;t think i hv to explain much).&lt;br /&gt;I currently own Rx 570(bought for Rm550 4 years ago). Its good, performed great and still can play some recent games. And if not mistake, this was the upper mid range card back then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, a Rx 6700 card costs no less then RM1700.&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, there are some Rtx 3050 or Gtx 1660 below around Rm1000(still, twice...). but, this is 2023 already, performance difference is barely more than 40%(ini pun theory ja, real life lesser).&lt;br /&gt;The power consumption? All requires a very decent PSU still, especially Rx 6700.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rx 6600 or rtx 3060, seems the most value oriented(while at same time capable of playing any games at decent settings). But, still a whooping Rm 1500ish??&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m not here to complain, we don&amp;#39;t run the world. We get what they give only. But, anyone? any thoughts?&lt;br /&gt;Mybe average income globally have increased i think, meaning, economically, its entirely new standard. I feel that.&lt;br /&gt;Still, the price hike this high, &lt;br /&gt;_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;Like, JUST TO PLAY GAMES, one needs around Rm1000(just for gpu). I know some gonna talk iGPU/APU nowdays can play some games, bla bla, but really? come on. &lt;br /&gt;Or think it this way, there are no GPU at range of Rm600- which is also decent amount of money - i mean, i don&amp;#39;t think Malaysia dollar got that much worse ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, just wnna share and hear thoughts. Peace, no war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Fake Gainward gtx 1660s ?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5352598</link>
            <description>Hi everyone, i recently saw a Gainward GTX 1660S but with unusual gold cover and green fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/Ell4XP' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://pictr.com/images/2023/02/02/Ell4XP.md.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJqPBzS5Sk' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHJqPBzS5Sk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is on sale, as used and &amp;quot;original&amp;quot;, but is it legit ? I couldn&amp;#39;t find any website for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked the seller, he just said photo is real. Asshole kind of answer, but, card seems have a good cooler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would be helpful if anyone could share some input.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Why is windows actively using hdd while on ssd?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5338616</link>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;I installed windows fresh from Microsoft on SSD, and i don&amp;#39;t have any bloatware on my pc. Not even windows built-in stuff like OneDrive and such. &lt;br /&gt;I have an internal 5400rpm HDD as, used for storage only, not programmes or anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though my pc is running on SSD, i hear sound from HDD while using my pc. When i&amp;#39;m opening a programme(even folder from ssd), there is delay in launching and i can hear the sound of hdd spinning/clicking.&lt;br /&gt;The worst offender is Edge, while using certain websites, like twitter or such. I can hear activities on it, followed by micro delay. Other activities include, right clicking on My computer icon, using Control panel, i can hear click noises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope the noise is not RANDOM, only when initiating or doing something. Otherwise fully quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, Why TF is windows still disturbing the HDD?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I can confirm this for 2 reasons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) the HDD never went to sleep even after hours of not accessing any files from it - in power management, its set to sleep after 20mins but this bitch always awake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) that delay won&amp;#39;t be there once i disconnect the HDD. I have tried another 7200rpm hdd as well, same issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The noise includes hdd spinning and lil clicks, but what really annoys me is the slight delay/slow down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Yes, i have checked all the settings such as Virtual memory. Its fully on default. No hdd used for caching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&amp;#39;t have any special hard ware, just i3 10105f, Rx 570, Asus B460m r2.0, 2 x 4gb 2400mhz ram in dual chnnel, all the drivers needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, this in not my first time. I have tried many fresh installs, since windows 7, many build of pc. Only now i&amp;#39;m asking, annoys me since i&amp;#39;m on SSD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could this be the culprit too ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.ghacks.net/2022/07/28/what-is-disk-caching-in-microsoft-edge/' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.ghacks.net/2022/07/28/what-is-d...microsoft-edge/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ssd is just 128gb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://pictr.com/image/ErKTLl' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='https://pictr.com/images/2022/12/13/ErKTLl.md.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
