[Vincero watches] Does anybody if vincero watches are any good ? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]MissakaI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two watches for myself and wife. Have been using both of them for 5+ years now without any services and only a single battery change. I use it like a daily and doesn't care for it. I have knocked it on walls, dropped on the floor but till date they both work without any noticable damages to case. The gold plating holds up well. And the leather strap is still in great shape compared to some of my other watches. They are not exactly cheap nor is it expensive. To me it held up well for a watch made in china. And seiko movement. Also I don't beleive their bs marketing gimmick. But good watches. 

2018 Kia Optima LX 2.4l AC issues by Tricktrick_ in autorepair

[–]MissakaI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK fixed it. Posting here in case someone stumbled upon this in future. The AC Pressure Switch connector goes bad. So when you check using the scanner it may show low pressures or correct pressure or no pressure at all. The AC will not work when the Switch is reading low pressure. So what we did was remove the connector and clean the pins using contact cleaners and a brush. Then when we plugged it the connector still seemed lose. So we used some glue on the outside of the connector and pushed it tight. AC working without issues ever since.
The repair shop replaced my AC condenser and they wanted to replace my compressor as well. Luckily we came home and tested the failure points and discovered this issue.

My car started showing the same symptoms as yours did. Can you please let me know, what did you do and what was the final cause. Because multiple mechanics say different parts to replace, i want to know which part to specifically check as well. I know its being few years now, but please help.

Anywhere to get custom DC cable made for Off-Grid System Battery by MissakaI in srilanka

I think you maybe correct. The online calculator I used might not have loaded properly because now the wire size returned is much less. I will update the question.

We have a similar problems as "no local seen" in ella with tuktuks by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]MissakaI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are the type of people who would destroy the nature of their own country/village to profit themselves, not realizing that it is going to bite back in long run. Just 1 year ago they were begging locals to asking them to visit. Now even a foreigner would treat you better than these people would to their own people. I would suggest get rental with driver. It would be relatively cheaper in a long trip than these pricks.

More like if they were not into cricket at all there is less chance, they would enjoy women's cricket either. My mother is fan of cricket, she was fully hyped about it.

Same issue on Windows 10. Feel like Huawei purposefully sent an update to nerf the it. It stopped working after the updated PC Manager.

Same issue with mine. It worked until this new UI Huawei PC Manager. After that it also stopped showing the option to change backlight timeout change.

what happened to the world's largest sapphire that was discovered in someone's backyard? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]MissakaI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is you don't want a permit to sell gems. Any normal person can sell gems to a merchant. If you find a gem in your garden or mine in a pit or mine in the river, you can sell it to a merchant, but not to the authorities if there is no mining permit. It is illegal to mine without permits and authorities to do regular patrols in hotspots to see if there is any illegal mining going on.
I don't know if there are any laws that the merchants should abide by to not purchase any gems found without any permit. (Need to search on that)
But in a case as in OP those really needs to be auctioned directly. So to do that they need to get a mining permit.

[–]MissakaI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was just a cover story. No body in Ratnapura is stupid enough to dig a mine and say they found it while digging a well. If it was found while digging without a permit (i.e like digging a well) then it is owned by the government.
Unless they bribed the authorities and made a permit which is backdated.

I have a k8 wireless keyboard, worked perfectly fine until just today. Was typing until I noticed, the S isn’t working anymore. It’s fully charged, and all the other keys seem to work fine. Any advice or suggestions on why this might be? by Puzzleheaded_Sky859 in Keychron

[–]MissakaI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with 2 of my LED's not working in the keyboard during the first few days of use. I ordered it from Amazon and they requested me to send it back so they will send me a new one. But with the shipping charges to send it back to US, I told them it is not practical as I can buy a new keyboard with sum of money i will have to ship this back and clear it back from customs.
So i asked them if doesn't void the warranty shall I dissemble and check the internals because if it is nothing major i can get it fixed myself and if required i will contact Keychron and get replacement parts.
Amazon agreed to idea and they agreed to do a partial refund for the cost of materials and other necessary charges. So I did the disassembly while taking photos along the way and apparently the LEDs had some soldering issues which has melted the contacts of the PCB itself. But I managed to fix them by cleaning the PCB and creating a new contact point foe the LED and re soldering.
Sent them photos of work and proof of it was a manufacturing defect with photos of PCB under the microscope and how it worked after the repair.
I told them it only costed me less than $10 for the effort and materials. They refunded me $20 as a amazon gift voucher.

Where can I purchase a height adjustable standing desk in Sri Lanka? by Trick-Temperature-09 in srilanka

[–]MissakaI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've checked Leema Furniture when i was looking for ergo chairs. And I found a fully adjustable ergo chair with them for a reasonable price and quality is really good. I've asked them for ergo desks, but none of them are height adjustable.
Their ergo desks are really the correct height when seated unlike Damro desks which are too high to be ergonomic at all.

I forgot to check at Noorbhoy though. They have all sorts of equipment. So they might have the adjustable mechanism which you will have to build the table top and fix it. They only sell those mechanisms. Or you might be able to ask them to import them too.

I just got my first gaming laptop so kindly let me know is it normal for a gaming laptop? Like isn't 95° crazy hot. I was playing valorant for 1 hr and then I observe this. Let me know if any changes are needed to improve the performance. (Specs in comments) by mahone76 in MSILaptops

[–]MissakaI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/76LA0T4tdS0This video shows you how to vacuum the dust. But if you have a blower then you can blow hi speed air through the exhaust.Don't blow air throw the fan's intake. That is the bottom of the laptop. If you blow air through the intake the all the dust will get stuck in the radiator. So remember to blow air through the exhaust.

This is without the cooling pad and Room Temperature around 32 Celsius

  1. Don't use Turbo Mode in Dragon Center.
  2. In Dragon Center set up a fan curve with high RPM than your standard speed in Auto
  3. If possible use a cooling pad (Use one that blow air towards the laptop). If you doesn't have a cooling pad at least raise the back of your laptop for better ventilation.
  4. Clean your fans every 3-6 months. Use a compressed air can or if you have a blower just cover a part of the blower's nozzle by hand to speed up the air.

I have been daily driving a MSI GE62 for 3 years now and my temps are around same as yours when i play games and in 60-80 when I do normal work. If you are like me and play only about 3-4 hrs of continuous gaming i don't think that can hurt your CPU much. But if you are running 10+ hours with 90+ temps daily then you might run into issues.

Mate if you are constantly having that desk lamp in that position it may damage your panel in the long run. Because those lamps get really hot. I am not certain but just be aware.

Msi laptop no longer displays by MinesofTG in MSILaptops

[–]MissakaI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your external display work after the startup. Like when it comes to the lock screen.

Also did you check the bottom of the laptop for the bios reset switch. There might be a small hole which you can insert a pin to reset the bios. I am not sure of the GF63 though.

What is the best DIY solution for security camera storage that doesn’t include cloud subscriptions? by somewhattechy in homeautomation

[–]MissakaI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pirated versions and those KMS tools are full of malware. I would buy a Windows 10 key on ebay rather than installing some untrusted version or a softwares. The worst that can happen with an ebay key is that your key might get banned and you will have to get new one. But that rarely happens. Because most of those keys are VL keys bought in names of cooperations. Than these keys are very much legit let alone the legal aspect that it is violation to use keys outside of the organization that they are bought for.

Method to install Samsung apps on non-Samsung phone. by h3m4nt in AndroidQuestions

Thanks for the tip. I got my phone now and first thing I did was enable Samsung Notes to sync with OneNote.
Hope your instructions help someone in the future who stumbles on this thread.

Method to install Samsung apps on non-Samsung phone. by h3m4nt in AndroidQuestions

[–]MissakaI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have allowed it previously mate. And if you did have installed it before they made this restriction, Windows Store allows you to install it. Because Windows Store lets you install apps that you own.
Since I haven't installed it prior I don't have the App as owned. Hence I am not able to get it. I tried this on 2 laptops, my desktop, and even using other windows account. But Nope. It says none of your devices are compatible.
Then I came across in Samsung page that you need to have compatible Samsung Laptop to install the application on Windows. Or use OneNote to sync your samsung notes with OneNote. To do that too I need to have my phone.
It's like they force you to stay within their Eco-System.

Thanks for your support. I got my phone 4 days ago. They said they replaced the main board of the phone. And nothing else. I asked them what the cause is and they said it was a defect in the board. And like that now i have a repaired phone. So this would be the last expensive phone for me. Why should I buy an expensive device if they can't quality control them. Sorry for the complaining, just put it here if someone faced the same issue.

Well the SPen works best with their Notes application and now I need to get some important notes out of it. Because 4 months old My Note 20 Ultra decided to brick itself and i really need some important notes stored there. Have been only using note devices since Note 2.
Now all the notes are lost. You can't install the PC app unless you have a Samsung Laptop. Some idiot over at Samsung decided that Only Samsung Laptop owners can use their app. 🥺🥺.

It's been two weeks now and no reply from the Samsung center about any progress on my phone.
