Upgrade laptop's Wireless N-15 WiFi Card

Glitcher — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 22:00:21 +0800

Hey everyone, my friend recently came up to me saying that he would like to upgrade his laptop's WiFi card caps his laptop's at 20Mbps (on a good day).

The laptop currently has a single band AzureWave AW-NB097H based on the Atheros AR9004WB chipset. He wants my help to upgrade to a card that supports AC WiFi.

I was thinking to get an Intel AC-7260HMW as an upgrade as the form factor fits and his laptop already has both Main and Aux antennas built-in.

So would this work? Can the old antennas effectively receive AC WiFi and 5 Ghz connections? What are the problems I should expect if I proceed with his upgrade?

Laptop specs are as below:

Asus K55VD
Intel Core i5 (Third gen)
Nvidia GT 610m
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 10 Home

Any advice and help are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Ford Fiesta Daytime Running Light Removal?

Glitcher — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 11:43:54 +0800

Hi,

I have a Ford Fiesta S 2014 with bodykit and daytime running lights.

But recently I've switched to a Volkwagen and gave my mom the Ford Fiesta, due to the low clearance of the body kit, my mom basically wrecked
the whole front skirt and to replace it will cost more than a thousand.

So I am wondering is it possible to just remove the body kit entirely and maybe even the DRLs as well?

Mass Communication in Malaysia

Hey, I was just wondering which universities in Malaysia provides the best course for Mass Communication. I've personally checked out Inti Subang and KDU Glenmarie.

Both universities have their own perks. Inti offers a better degree which is recognized by UK or Australia. But the environment around the campus seems a bit sketchy. KDU offers a mediocre degree which is recognized by MQA but the facilities provided and environment is more well thought out.

So what are you guy's thoughts on these 2 universities and which universities do you guys think provides a better Mass Communication course?

Should I Choose Audio Engineering Technology?

Hi guys! I've always been really fascinated with Audio Mixing consoles and the way audio is produced.

So the first course that naturally came to my mind to further study is a Diploma in Audio Engineering.

But it's obvious that this course is REALLY unpopular in Malaysia.

Was wondering the possible career path in Malaysia that is available for this course and the hardships that I will face in the future.

As I was never trained traditionally in any music instruments, is it extra difficult to make it in this field?

Or should I just pack my bags and take my chances with STPM?

Is there anybody who is currently in this field? Am a newbie and is in need of a senior's advice!

General further studies advice are highly welcomed!!!
