I was wondering the other day, how did it get its name? All I can figure is that it was renamed to Bukit Tunku in Tunku Abdul Rahman or his house. Any ideas?

Public Track for Training

botak91 — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 15:06:31 +0800

I am a Ultimate Frisbee player trying to get into a routine of sprint and running training but I can't seem to find a place other than the MPSJ stadium that has a track open for public use. I'd very much appreciate if any of you have a place to suggest that is open for such use. I live in PJ and work in Glenmarie so anywhere in the general vicinity would be great.

New Wireless Router

botak91 — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 00:55:58 +0800

I live in a medium sized home with multiple devices (minimum of 7 devices at one time) and have the 10mbps package. At this time I can only stream Twitch at low although my Youtube is fine. Amongst the devices that are connected there's one desktop and the rest are mobile devices. Would you suggest I get the Asus RT-AC55UHP or the 56u?

Where to Buy

botak91 — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 15:10:01 +0800

I have been looking around for a replacement for my HTC One M7. Other than the big brands like Apple and Samsung that have dedicated shops or retailers, where do I buy the Motorola or Asus phones out there without fear of a fake device or problematic seller.

Mobile Phone Shop

I am thinking of buying a new mobile phone. Anybody out there have a particular shop or dealer you trust or has the best prices?

Mouse Issues: Hardware or Software?

botak91 — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 16:41:57 +0800

Over the past month or so I have struggled with the issue of random mouse disconnects. It seems to have increased in frequency and become more and more sporadic. There would be days where it would happen throughout my time on the computer and days where it would only occur once or twice at a time. It is extremely frustrating especially so when I'm playing CS:GO and my mouse randomly decides to spaz out.

I have tried several ways of solving this but to no avail. I have checked the drivers, unticked the power management box for the USB ports, switched around the orientation of the USB ports used and even unticked the USB power box under Power settings. I am going to try and use a spare mouse to see whether its a mouse hardware issue failing which I am out of options.

I recently updated to Windows 10 but my system is fairly new. I'm using a 4690k Intel i5 processor, 8GB HyperX Fury, MSI Gaming 5 MOBO, MSI GTX970 Twin Frozr GPU, Corsair (?) 750W Gold PSU, Samsung EVO 250gb SSD and Kingston (?) 1TB Hard Drive. My keyboard is a Logitech G710+ that allows internet pass through and when I plug it in, the problem also arises.

PLEASE HELP!

Twitch Issues

botak91 — Wed, 20 May 2015 10:50:49 +0800

I have been using Unifi for a while now, recently upgrading to the 10mbps option as my house has many devices. Youtube videos at 1080p are no issue and I regularly maintain 1mbps download speed when the network is not under load. However, I have always had issues with streaming Twitch. I have lowered the resolution to low or even mobile quality but my PC needs time to buffer the video. I still use the default router and modem that came with Unifi but have contemplated upgrading the hardware. Does anybody have any idea on why this happens? Is it the modem and router? Too many devices at home? The need to optimise the network? Or plain Unifi that sucks.

Android vs. iOs

botak91 — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 18:40:38 +0800

I'm due for a phone change and I am undecided between Android phones and the iPhone.
I have always been a just-use-what-I-get kind of guy but I want to be able to Tweet and Facebook on-the-go now.

Please post your opinions about this and possibly some phones or brands that you suggest I look into.

My budget is RM1500++ and have no particular brand in mind because I'm new to the Android scene.
I want to be able to surf the net on the go - Tweet & Facebook.
The thing to note when and if you would like to suggest something to me is that I would be going to the UK in September and so the customer service in UK for that particular brand and model needs to be good because I would be studying.

Please HELP!

Dell Warranty

botak91 — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:12:47 +0800

I'm currently an undergraduate law student who will be transferring to UK next year. There are several questions I want to ask:

1. Are there anythings I need to know about Dell warranties that I need to take note of?

2. Are there certain package options such as Dell Care Premium or Complete Cover (other terms included) that are not applicable for transfer or usage in the UK?

3. If Dell is one of the worst (in your opinion), are there any other brands that I should look into that provide better warranty service?

LANs

botak91 — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 20:57:53 +0800

I don't know why but I have a notebook and a desktop. I recently bought a Belkin wireless router so that I can use my notebook around the house. The reception is great and nothing is wrong with it. However, when I want to use the desktop to surf the net, it is slow and laggy. I can't even get into msn.com because it times-out. Please advise...
