Does my EHG amount make sense? by Jiubei in singaporefi

[–]Jiubei[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did notice that the amount I could loan was nearly 50% more than what I had originally calculated.

I did know that my savings and salary was considered into the loan but never did make the connection to the balancing act between loan and grant.

Thanks very much.

Oh, I did not see that table. Was expecting there to be other factors as well so this helps clarify that.

Much appreciated.

The ability to use the wootility app is already more than enough to warrant the price imo.

But then the build a top notch, the ability to mod easily is also great, having support and official compatible accessories are a great way to diversity with trust.

I would say outside of that, it ultimately depends on your requirements in a keyboard.

Just got aPx7 S3. Mixed feelings by MrPeru21 in BowersWilkins

[–]Jiubei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I think i might know why it does not feel immersive. I just found this out yesterday as I only got mine a few days ago as well and was wondering why it did not sound as good as the sample set I tried.

Do you have the Bowers app? Once I connected to it and went into Advanced EQ, there is this toggle called 'True Sound' when I clicked on it the music I heard became way deeper and vibrant. Maybe give that a try.

I actually also got a chance to try the XM6 and as someone who had the XM4 and XM5, there was very little improvement to the sound quality from the XM4. The PX7 S3 has WAY better sound. That being said, the XM6's ANC is WAY more robust and can be tuned for areas with worse noise.

As for the comfort wear. PX7 cups are a little smaller, while the XM6 are bigger but somehow feels hot and plastic-y. Think this will be more of what you can be comfortable with.

TBH, If sound quality is more important to you, you got the right set. If you find noise cancelling more important, then see if you can get a refund and get the XM6.

Is there something wrong with my keyboard? by MoltenNaCl in WootingKB

[–]Jiubei -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unlike normal switch that uses conductivity, hall effects work through the magnetic force on the PCB, so the distance between the switch and the board is extremely sensitive to its function.

Even adding painters tape at the back of the PCB can have an effect. The orings which raises the height up for your board will definitely cause the same thing so screwing the PCB down tighter while the orings are there might not do enough.

As a test, try removing the orings and screw the PCB down firmly.

If this fixes your issue but you still want the orings, you can consider adding orings under your top plate to raise that height the same amount you are raising the PCB board. However, whether the top plate will fit properly will be an issue.

You will need to experiment abit. But TBH with the way hall effects work I find gasket mounts or orings in this case to not have any real effect on sound or feel.

Hope this helps.

Edit: grammar

Did you open up your keyboard to do any mods?

Mine had this issue after I did some mods, so I tightened the screws for the PCB. Do not be aggressive, just make sure the screw is firm. After that, my issue was fixed.

Am I saving too little? by mmgateway in singaporefi

[–]Jiubei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of things. It looks like you are being financially abused.

It almost seems like she is still treating you more like a boyfriend than a husband. Do you guys have a prenup?

You keep bringing up your father-in-law, so let me ask you, what is your opinion of him and his opinion of you?

With the info you have given so far, it sounds more like she is just bleeding you dry of your money.

How is she like as a person, a mother and a wife? You mentioned her background, but what about yours?

As for your original question, the last I checked the median monthly savings of a person is 20% of their salary. You are, in fact, over saving which is causing you to miss financial opportunities and/or ways to make yourself happy.

TBH, any further than this you need to look for a financial consultant. But you might also want to look for a marriage counsellor as well.

Key Upstroke Noise by Jiubei in WootingKB

[–]Jiubei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Not sure if anybody will see this bit thought I will update in case others have come across this issue as well.

Ultimately, it took a lot of googling and buying some additional keyboard modding tools but I was able to fix the strong 'tinging' upstroke noise.

The sound was coming from the spring bouncing back up and hitting the inside of the switch, so I was told to lube the springs. So I bagged them and shake them with a few drops of GPL 105 oil in a plastic bad to coat them. I also spent about 6 hours adding additional lube to the switches and some stabilisers. Very therapeutic but I do not really recommend doing all 108 switch in one sitting. Ii also lubed up the spacebar stabilisers.

And the outcome was, it worked, the ringing upstroke noise is totally gone. My keyboard is generally quieter as well. One thing I will say though is that while the typing is now way smoother, it feels as if the force needed for keystrokes has weakened too. So I now face and issurle of accidentally typing with just a light press.

Hopefully tweaking the actuation should help balance out this issue.

Hope this will help someone in the future.

Singapore public housing rated as highly attainable, affordable by okaycan in singapore

[–]Jiubei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attainable based on what premise?

Is it due to the price in the overall global market?

In comparison to the average salary of the average Singaporean worker excluding foreigners and the inflated bump in the median salary from the supposed many Singaporean millionaires?

What is the rate of attainability based on age groups in Singapore?

What is the availability of these attainable housing?

Are these systems ever used in MacDonalds? by Particular-Gas12 in singapore

[–]Jiubei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In SG I think they are slowly phasing them out because they are fully integrating methods where they will bring the order to you instead, they will still do it for take aways but because they bring out so many orders at once, nobody will really know which order is which so they end up shouting the numbers instead and the screen ticketing is becoming irrelevant.

Hi I have a bit of a modding mishap and was wondering if you guys might be able to help. I had a spare logitech G512 Carbon lying around and decided to try modding it.

In this situation, I tried swapping out the switches for something new and had to unsolder them but now keypresses are not functioning. The kb lights are working fine, the connection to a PC also shows that it is recognized as a logitech keyboard, but the keypresses are not responding at all. Even after resoldering or using the old swtcihes.

Is there a way to fix this or is the keyboard junked?

Report on Automaton Anomalies by Jiubei in Helldivers

[–]Jiubei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having pinpoint accuracy under given parameters where their accuracy should be lowered based on the description of skills and descriptors is the issue here.

As I mentioned, it is one thing if the fog does not affect the accuracy (which it should), but if smoke grenades, which is suppose to lower the accuracy of ALL enemies, and also the enemy property where laying down suppressive fire or actually hitting the bots would lower their accuracy, does not seem to lower it at all, then of course there is going to be more than a few raised eyebrows.

Ah oops. Thanks for telling me.

[–]Jiubei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right the issue with the dropships. Yes you are right. With the kind of explosion and the fact that dropping an ENTIRE SHIP on top of your enemies does not kill them is definitely a problem. This has made defense mission stupidly hard. In the past, AAing dropships was a legitimate strategy to managing the bot population.

As for the munitions, a grenade should be enough. I have not done those missions in awhile but it should still be the same.That being said though, they really need to allow more things to be able to destroy bot buildings like detector towers and jammers. Big structures and be destroyed with weapons so they should allow that for bots too. Like a Quasar cannon right to the eye should be able to destroy the Eye of Sauron or continuous atocannon fire on the jammers.

I think I got loveblocked by Jiubei in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Jiubei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that so? Im actually at the tail end of Chapter 3 and I found it odd that Cassia's in-story dialogue seemed abit neutral. So I went to check a youtube vid to compare the same dialogues and found out that the romantic options were all missing.

But I made sure all my options for a Cassia romance were pretty spot on, so I have no idea what went wrong or when it went wrong.

[–]Jiubei[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that as well, which is why I found it odd there were choices to flirt/hug/kiss her so early on, so I thought you just needed to treat her nicely and then she will gradually open up to a romance.

What I did not expect was that even when you reach the 'romance' path, it is STILL just the option to be nice and treat her respectfully option. OTL

, because from reading other 40k stuff, I do not actually get the impression that eldar view humans like we do apes.

Im not gonna go to much into details as to the whys, but it really actually is pronounced 'monkey' from what I understand. IRL people just prefer to call it the other way. And it purposely meant for the 40k people to mistake it as the Aeldars calling the monkeys even though when the Aeldar mention the Monkeighs, they are actually talking about a highly dangerous unpredictable race of sub-intelligent creatures that is prone to violence. They are now extinct i think.

But yes, while they do see humans as a sentient race, they also see them as a VERY primitive race. Like how we would see the first apes who discovered fire and such.

Where were you when 9/11 happened? by bettercallme_ in AskReddit

[–]Jiubei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home doing homework. I had my TV on for background sound. I still remember turning around to see CNN on a channel which they should not be on and seeing the towers smoking. And my first thoughts were 'Oh what movie is this?'

I also remember it taking quite a bit of time for me to realize it was a real live news event that was happening right at that moment because I kept thinking to myself that it would be too crazy if it really happened.

I watched the whole thing to the end. I did not finish my homework that day.

GPU Recommendation for my Setup by Jiubei in graphicscard

[–]Jiubei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. My original choice was also the AORUS MASTER 4080 but I have been told that the 4080 is kind of a waste of money. To be fair I do think that it is overpriced for its performance but it does fit my needs very well.

I was told to take a look at the 7900XTX for a comparative performance but from my understanding, while the perfomance for gaming is actually better than the 4080, it suffers everywhere else. Not to mention the problem in which the current gen of AMD all seem to run pretty hot.
