I have such high regard for our police officers, I thought our police officers have a duty to protect the vulnerable, how can he do this kind of thing, seriously wtf. He even tried to cover up some more, wah piang, this guy really lost his direction, or probably don't even have any direction at all, why did he even sign up

Spent SingapoRediscovers Voucher

Yesterday booked the cable card ride, it's unlimited so can take as many times as we like. Adult is S$27, child is S$17 so total is S$71. Minus S$10 child subsidy so end up using S$60 voucher and paid S$1 by credit card. Daughter liked the cable car ride, we ride to Mount Faber then to Sentosa, then went to the beach but didn't go into the beach, now blocked off, need to book first then can go in, can also book there but we didn't, so daughter just played outside a small area with sand. Still left S$40 voucher don't know what to do, maybe just leave it there.

Hades Canyon Overheating Fixed?

Since today on leave, thought I might as well try a few more things, first is to clean the fans and also make sure the chasis is clean too, realise the fans are damn dirty, see before and after cleaning. Just use a normal cotton bud will do, when the bud breaks off it's actually even better. Well after cleaning the fans didn't help, temperature is still crazy. So I went into BIOS and changed a few things. Under the "Cooling" tab, I changed: Fan Control Mode: Custom Fan off capability: don't tick P

Bought a UGREEN USB 3.0 to Rj45 Gigabit Adapter

But at least now it seems to detect the temperature better and fans kick up more responsively so it happen less, again not sure if it's an illusion. Then I googled for USB to RJ45 adapter and saw this UGREEN product, so I thought I would give it a try, not expensive so might as well. Ordered last Friday and received today, seems like nowadays Amazon delivery is much faster. It comes in a sleek and slim packaging, works right out of the box for my Windows 10. It also comes with a driver CD for older Windows OS, Mac OS and Linux. The design feels sturdy, doesn't feel cheap at all, the port also snaps in nicely unlike some other cheapo USB

Thermal Throttling on My Hades Canyon

Bought my Hades Canyon in 2018 , only open up to clean the dust and didn't replace the thermal paste at all. So these few months I noticed that if I play games, the network card will suddenly just turn off by itself, I thought it's the network card faulty or maybe it's the ethernet cable but confirm is not ISP because my wife and daughter have no issue with their mobile devices. At one point I even replaced the ethernet cable to my room because I thought the cable was faulty but it didn't solve the problem, now that I think of it, I don't think there is anything wrong with the cable. Only these few days then I realise that the network card will auto switch off when the temperature of my CPU go too high like 80+ to 90+, I thought this temperature is normal during load so that's why it didn't dawn on me, I also thought the network card is a separate piece so I didn't think if the CPU throttle, the network card will shut down. So I thought maybe I can try r

No Wonder Scammers are Trying so Hard...

https://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/man-loses-over-50000-investment-scam Because there are really dumb people out there who will foolishly just give away their hard-earned money just because a "friend" they know on Facebook tell them to. " Mr Lin (not his real name) was not familiar with investments. But last December, a woman he had befriended on Facebook encouraged him to open a trading account and introduced him to a broker. He trusted her and since Jan 1, on two occasions, he invested much of his life savings into the account. " I think other than dumb people, the other reason is similar to making cold calls, try hard like really hard, because all they need is one gong kia in every 100 calls, they will be rich already. Anyway these days I see a lot of ads on YouTube that says you can start a business with less than $100, or they show you their profit, if you look closer they are actually trying to sell you a course, I mean come on, if whatever that they are trying
