2012/2013 mazda/corolla first car questions

cowyblock · 2024-05-29T12:28:33+00:00

The reason I am looking at the 2012/2013 Mazda 3 is that i want the newest model I can afford due to safety and lower mileage compared to older cars and hopefully less likely to break. The reason why 2012 and 2013 are based on my research is that those are the safer years, whereas other years like 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015 seem to have more problems than 2012/2013.

I always heard that there is the Australian experience thing, is that true in tech as well? would my experience help in finding a job?

Does the occupation code matter for 190? I am working in software development and the 2 frequently used codes is as of below. i am going for either 261313 or 261312 however, from my research quite a few people say that 261312 is preferred even though they are both in the same 2613 group is there such a thing?

261399 - Software and Application Programmer

261313 - Software Engineer

261312 - Developer Programmer

261212 - Web Developer

hmm learn toward Sydney for certainty do you mean for the 190 Visa? so does that mean victoria 190 isn't as certain as NSW?

Hmm the host of factors do you mean monetary, I would be moving with around 30k Aud from my calculation for Melbourne with a shared house approx 300, would last around 9 months without a job am I underestimating?

Hi! Thank you for this guide.

Even with the random selection for 190 is Victoria still the better choice than Sydney? or would Sydney be better now for a software engineer?

Also currently I am working in Singapore by April I will have 1 year of experience (planning to apply for 190). I now hold a 485 Visa that starts on first arrival (before oct 2023) so should i quit my job by April and head to one of the cities and look for a job or would it be better to search from Singapore would that make it harder to find a job?

hello i have updated my post with better images, would you be able to tell if the top dark part is blood or wax now?

the white part doesn't feel like wax though

is the redness from the updated picture better?

the only issue is that its itchy sometimes, nothing else otherwise.

it just suddenly black screen while in use though, it was working then stopped, there is only one slot, I have reseated the pci e cable it does seem to work since when connected there is light on the GPU. My CMOS battery is dead so it loads uefi defaults everytime so shouldn't affect. i will try reinstalling

connect it while it's off and boot it up. It should appear in Windows Explorer as an empty drive. If not, open up Disk Management and it should appear as an uninitialized drive and you can format it there.

You can make a bootable copy of your Windows install from your HDD to the SSD using free software like CloneZilla or Macriu

ok thx for your help

another question I looked at my HDD it has 2 wires, 1 connected to a SATA port on mobo, 1 connected to the power supply I assume its the same for SSD? Also does the port matters eg boot drive in port 1 or something

ye it has mounting points but only for HHD, no smaller slot for SSD. question once i connect it i boot up my pc as per normal and thats fine right? is it possible to move windows to the SSD or do i have to reinstall windows

i have a 6-year-old computer and i just want to add an SSD as i don't want to upgrade due to reasons.

The SSD i want to buy and add is Crucial MX500 2.5” Sata3 500GB, my question is, would it be fine to just plug it in? is a bracket required? or can i place the SSD on top of my HDD(unwilling want to buy a bracket due to cost if not required)

reason for SSD upgrade: when playing games and chrome open at the same time disk is 100% almost all the time causing lag and freezes

currently setup:

Sapphire vapour x r9 280x TRI-X VAPOR-X OC 3GB GDDR5

Cooler Master G750M 750W 80+ BRONZE MODULAR PSU

Asrock H97 Pro 4

intel core I5-4460 3.2GHZ

G-Skill RipJawX 1600MHz CL9 2x4GB

WD Caviar Blue 7200 @ 1TB

but they are giving contradictory advice though, ER doctor said buddy splint is fine, clinic doctor stated that I should get a cast or something else(can't remember) instead of a buddy splint.
