Opinion on professional programme

GnarsAttack — Wed, 21 May 2025 16:28:50 +0800

Im a 37yo family man with SPM, over 12 years in medical devices manufacturing engineering and personnel management. Looking around to upskill myself and advance my career. Been eyeing Professional Bachelor in Plant and Operation Management, but not sure is it MQA accredited or not.

What's your opinion on professional bachelor program in career advancement, in Malaysia? There are Bachelor program that i can get through Apel program, but full time, which i dont have the time since i have a family. Or part time programme mostly in business, which i dont prefer.

Budget Analog Watch

GnarsAttack — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 23:28:31 +0800

Hi. I want to buy for myself a watch since ive never owned one. I was overwhelmed by how many design and brand in the market. Alas,im here for an input from the expert to at least narrow down the choices.
My preference would be
1. Analog
2. Quartz or automatic,i dont mind.
3. This is important. I like how we can see the gear inside of the watch spinning. I prefer this.
4. Have date.
5. If possible,id like leather straps rather than the steel one.

My budget is RM200 to 500. Is it possible? Thanks in advance

Ryzen Build not booting

GnarsAttack — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 12:13:11 +0800

Hi, first time building pc after almost 10years. Ive build the pc lst night, and it wont display anything, even after half an hour. Everything's running, cpu fan, gpu fan, case fan, but no display.
Open back, reseat ram, gpu, 8 pin cpu, 24 pin MB, 6pin gpu, still nothing. Please help, or ill be left with pile of crap.

Ryzen 3 2300x
Gigabyte B450M S2H
Galax Gamer II 3000mhz 8gb x1
Super flower eco silver 500w
Galax GTX1060 3gb
SSD and 2 HDD

Ive heard in the past, ryzen had ram compatibility issue. Is it still happen?
And based on this, my cpu is pinnacle ridge, which is supported from the start.

Update***
Ive taken everything out of the case,on the mobo box. Just gpu,cpu and ram. Still no display.

Update**
Changing ram slot. Nothing.
Boot without ram. Keeps rebooting. Does it indicate something?
Swap PSU. None
Clear CMOS. Nothing

Update****
Found the culprit. Ram and bios neverhad a problem. Its the damn hdmi to vga adapter. I booted using othr hdmi monitor,boot up the first time. Thanks everybody that helps me getting through this procedure.

Opinion on upgrading

GnarsAttack — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 20:31:18 +0800

Hi all. My mobo are nearing its end since since several ports are problematics already. Im thinking building a new pc on a budget. This are my current build:
I5 2500
B75M-D3V
2 x 4 gb Value Ram
RX 460 2g
Hercules X580
Ssd and 2 HDD

Imthinking of building a Ryzen rig, using R3 1200 since its the cheapest used Ryzen cpu i could find. Im not an OC'er, just a casual gamer playing witcher 3 and some other RPG, Illustrator and movie. Graphical are not an issue, as long as it gets the jobs done.

Is going Ryzen a huge leap, or just a skip? Or maybe i could save more money by going Haswell? Need some input from veterans. Thanks in advance.

Calling electrician

GnarsAttack — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 18:28:19 +0800

Good day. I recently started screenprinting business, though from home. I've been using heat gun to flash and cure plastisol, but it takes to long to cure 13" x 20" design. Im thinking of diy my own flash cure unit to accelerate the process. Ive got the idea of building halogen cure unit from internet and youtube. My question is:
1- How do i wired the halogen tube to fit home socket? Do i need one of those r7s socket connector?
2- How do i wired several of 500w/700w/1000w halogen tube safely? Failsafe?
3- How can i control voltage/heat generated by the tube? Ac voltage controller/dimmer?

I have a minimal electrical background, but i can read diagram and a friends who knows electrical, but never done this halogen before. Any help are appreciated. Thank you.

the problem is, is it possible? has it been done before? is there any family oriented game possible to be played on a single tv, split screen? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.
