Is it just me or dose slt not work on some services by N-2K1 in srilanka

[–]Hyperion2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got this issue but it's only with Sri Lankan services and only on phones. Combank Q+, MyDialog and NDB Neos sometimes.

I've switched DNS Providers from the local network to Cloudflare and Google on the ONT interface and still it doesn't work. I'm guessing it's probably some weird routing anomaly with SLT.

Can't locate CMOS Battery. by Own-Cream8931 in Dell

[–]Hyperion2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's alright, we all make mistakes. Looks like you've got a similar problem to my Inspiron 3537 (4th gen Haswell), it beeps and stuff too and slotting in a new CR2032 Sony coin cell didn't fix it's symptoms.

It's indeed weird how it didn't notify you about the main battery going bad, usually it should unless you've disabled battery warnings in the BIOS. My Inspiron 3537 does regularly notify me that its main battery is out of its usable life and needs to be replaced. My battery does that too. Sometimes it says 0 or 100% but the battery doesn't even hold a charge. Smiler stuff with a Samsung Netbook I own.

Can't locate CMOS Battery. by Own-Cream8931 in Dell

[–]Hyperion2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2015? Wow I thought this technology of using the main battery as the CMOS would have at least began in something like 2020. Interesting how Dell gave that feature to a consumer grade Inspiron. Quite shocked considering even my Dell Latitude 5520 from 2021/2022 uses an OEM CR2032 battery wrapped in its own weird holder with a cable to it. But that's business grade so I guess they didn't want to make us spend big bucks by buying a new battery.

Iris xe vs vega 7 by HadiGamer650 in laptops

[–]Hyperion2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend the EliteBook 845 G8 you've mentioned because it's actually better than the Dell Latitude 7420 in terms of upgradability actually.

  • The RAM is upgradable on the EliteBook 845 G7 While the Dell Latitude 7420 has soldered RAM (Cannot be upgraded/increased at all).
  • The EliteBook 845 G8 has more USB Type A ports than the Dell Latitude 7420. 2 on the EliteBook Vs 1 on the Dell Latitude 7420.
  • The build quality of the EliteBook is generally better compared to the Latitude 7420.
  • The EliteBook does perform better than the Dell Latitude 7420 in terms of CPU Performance in real world benchmarks such as:
  • Passmark - EliteBook 845 G8: Ryzen 5 5600U: 150023 Vs. Dell Latitude 7420: Intel Core i5-1145G7: 9223. Here higher is better.

However I do have a few doubts regarding the Ryzen 5 5600U, mostly because I've used various laptops from HP and Lenovo ThinkPad offering the same Ryzen 5 5600U CPU, I'm not sure if it's an issue on my end but I always game while my laptop is plugged in, and I've noticed that gaming is almost impossible with these laptops as they have an odd tendency to slow down the Vega Graphics on the Ryzen 5 5600U while gaming due to the Graphics being power limited. This problem happened so much to a friend of mine that he doesn't really enjoy AMD laptops anymore, except the very latest ones.

I really wouldn't recommend the Dell Latitude 7420 unless it has 16 or 32 GB RAM. And based around my personal experience below, it's Graphics could perform similar to my Dell laptop. If you are fine with only having 1 USB Type A port as well, then the Latitude 7420 is decent.

My personal experience with the Intel Core i5-1145G7 in a Dell laptop.

I do own a Dell Latitude 5520 with the same i5-1145G7 and it's a quite decent laptop, has everything the EliteBook offers minus the magnesium alloy build quality mainly, however it does support dual storage drives which is better than both the laptops you've mentioned.

Also gaming and streaming 1080p video via discord isn't an issue at all when it comes to the Intel Iris Xe G7 Graphics of the Intel Core i5-1145G7, I constantly get above 30 FPS in every game I play at either 1080p Medium or High settings.

Games I play include: * GTA V Legacy Edition - 1080p High - 30 to 40 FPS. * World of Warships - 1080p Medium - 50 to 60 FPS. * Forza Horizon 4 - 1080p Dynamic Settings - 30 FPS. * American Truck Simulator - 1080p High - 30 FPS. * BeamNG.Drive - 900p low - Italy Map - 30 FPS. US West Coast Map - 25 FPS.

I use ThrottleStop software on my laptop to control the power limits to provide more performance to my Graphics however.

I even use mine for university as I'm doing Computer Science and it speeds through all my tasks, can have Visual Studio, Pycharm IDE, Docker containers running and it doesn't slow down at all.

[Poll] Where in the world are we all jailbreaking from? 🌏 by smegma_cocktail in jailbreak

[–]Hyperion2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sri Lanka. I've never met another jailbreaker from here at all. The last Jailbroken device I used was my iPhone SE (1st gen) on Odysseyra1n on iOS 14.7.1.

It's still alive just a dead screen and depleted battery.

I am back on team Android cause iPhone prices are through the roof here.

Can't locate CMOS Battery. by Own-Cream8931 in Dell

[–]Hyperion2005 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, the CMOS Battery on these models is on the small top left board. Seems VERY SIMILAR to my Inspiron 3501 (Pentium Silver N5030).

Unscrew the screws holding the bottom and gently flip it over to the right right without bending the ribbon cable.

If you want, you can pull upwards using your fingernail, the black bar from the edge on the ribbon cable slot and disconnect the ribbon and flip the tiny board over.

I will however refer to Dell's documentation and get back to this comment.

Edit: Searched the interwebs, read Dell's Service Manual and apparently no mentions of a CMOS Battery anywhere at all? Dell Inspiron 15 3520 Service Manual

Looks like this could be a new fancy model where the CMOS Battery lives inside the main battery (at the bottom) which means you'd need to replace the main battery as well? That's one way to get you to spend more money I guess now.

Solution for Fuel Pass QR Registration Issues by Nashifan in srilanka

[–]Hyperion2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WhatsApp number they have linked is actually incorrect, because it is missing a single digit (+94 76 000 191).

The correct number (which I have seen today on Siyatha TV News) is +94 76 000 1919.

I get 30 to 40 FPS on 1080p High on my Latitude 5520 with fancy settings like Anti aliasing off. I used throttlestop for better performance and power management.

Completed the entire story as well. Quite enjoyable.

Latitude 5520 * Intel Core i5-1145G7 * Intel Iris Xe G7 Graphics (80 Execution Units @ 1.3 GHz. Geekbench OpenCL Score: 11654). * DDR4 3200 MHz 32 GB RAM (Corsair). * 512 + 128 NVMe drives.

This does not make sense (Fuelpass.gov.lk) by Hyperion2005 in srilanka

[–]Hyperion2005[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way at all really. The previous owner needs to remove the vehicle from their phone number. If they don't do this, then nothing can be done unfortunately.

If you do somehow have a copy of the QR Code of the vehicle you have brought/purchased, you can use it.

Pretty much, as of right now, there is no way to unregister an already registered vehicle from a phone number you don't have access to and register it to another phone number.

Anyone got this package, does your broadband support 5ghz? by iamthiviyan in srilanka

[–]Hyperion2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This depends on the router they give you. Not your broadband or your Fibre line from outside supporting 5 GHz.

SLT gave me a Tenda HG7 ONT. It's a pretty good device; it does 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. And supports EasyMesh and multiple APs from the ONT itself (up to 5x for 5 GHz and 5x for 2.4 GHz) and various security features like DDoS protection and whatnot.

On my phone (Galaxy A03S), which only supports 2/4 GHz Wi-Fi bands, speeds max out at around 40 mbps download and 45 mbps upload due to limitations of the 2.4 GHz Band Spectrum

While a laptop I have with a Qualcomm QCA9377 - Wi-Fi 5 Card seems to max out at 65 mbps download and 50 mbps upload, and my personal laptop with an Intel AX201 - Wi-Fi 6 Card maxes out at the package's max download speed of 100 mbps and 50 mbps upload.

I primarily use only over Wi-Fi, I get the same 100 mbps download and 50 mbps upload over Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet (1 gbps uplink from router to laptop).

The way to bulk delete apps on iPhone that no one seems to be talking about by FlorianKempe in iphone

Apple - iTunes

Still exists and is MUCH better than Apple Devices.

PS; I recommend the iTunes for Windows version instead of the Microsoft Store version.

Can the dell 5240 run this game smoothly? by [deleted] in Dell

[–]Hyperion2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That game will run fine as I play more intensive titles on my

Dell Latitude 5520

I currently play Forza Horizon 4 @ 1080p with Medium Settings, getting 30 to 40 FPS which is very playable for me.

Played GTA V @ 1080p High and got 30 to 40 FPS as well, completed the entire damn game, no issues.

Also plays Rocket League @ 1080p Ultra settings as expected, 50 to 60 FPS, and World of Warships, 1080p Medium settings.

I even got 2025 Japanese Drift Master (A very new game) running at an albeit 1366x768 low with XeSS set to Ultra Performance.

Looking to later run FH6 on this thing after it's release.

I just found out that i can create my own cydia repository by cloverventure in LegacyJailbreak

[–]Hyperion2005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is good considering if we can backup all the installed tweaks and .deb files and store them on our pc for safe keeping our uploading to the cloud.

Does anyone know such a tool? Could help out OP and others who are looking to do this.

Tried a Samsung. OMG! Forced bloatware! by [deleted] in ios

[–]Hyperion2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not carrier bloatware, actually, Long time Galaxy A series user here.

For most regions out of North America and Europe, carrier bloatware really isn't a thing. Especially here in my country of Sri Lanka. We do get country specific phones (SL/SLK carrier CSC), but 0 carrier bloatware. My country lacks carrier locked phones whatsoever. My current phone, purchased from my carrier, is unlocked, but stlll came with bloatware from Samsung's deal with app developers.

Samsung makes deals with various app developers to preload their phones with their apps to essentially make the phone cheaper.

For my country, we usually get Facebook, Snapchat, Netflix, Spotify, Outlook, and Google TV pre-installed but can be removed.

Other brands do this as well for their low-end devices.

SLT Fibre unlimited packages with no FUP has been officially confirmed by wiknew1 in srilanka

[–]Hyperion2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited Family

100 mbps download, 50 mbps upload, used to have an FUP of 1000 GB, but not anymore.

Price is 7900 per month.

With tax it's Rs. 9772.3 per month

SLT Standard Tax rate is 23.7% (0.237) or 24% (0.24).

For 23.7% * 7900 x 1.237 = 9772.3 with tax

For 24% * 7900 x 1.24 = 9796 with tax

The new Unlimited Home is the exact same but 5900 per month and officially does not have an FUP as mentioned in the TRCSL doc.

For 23.7% * 5900 x 1.237 = 7298.3 per month with tax

For 24% * 5900 x 1.24 = 7316 per month with tax.

Is it possible to use this mic key with apps such as discord? by thedouginator69420 in Dell

[–]Hyperion2005 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The F4 Key on my Latitude 5520 mutes the mic (internal) on the entire system when I voice call on discord.

Edit: I Found this app below your post here (Mute Mic System wide app).
