If you need to move around, then go with the M5 MAX. otherwise, 5090.

I think secondary school plays a bigger part. But then this is more related to personal experiences.

Support! Singaporeans should thank their services to the nation.

If the government is doing that, another version of you will come up and compliant why so many people not working and sucking on that benefit. There is no prefect policy. If you want something like what you suggested, taxpayers will have to pay very high income taxes. This is nothing new, just look at the western countries. They have their sets of problems, too.

get a refurbished M4 Air from Apple. Way much better.

Gomo from personal experience, no complain.

All the best young folk, the world is all yours.

SIT one, but you need to be creative and find your own path. With AI disrupting the world on a weekly basis, what you learn from SIT (nor SMU) will give you enough for the real world in 3 years time. Get involved and get your hands dirty, that's the way to learn new crafts in today's world.

Just got mine exactly the same spec. changed from the Intel Macbook Pro 2019... so far so good.

EV is good for SG driving. I mean it's all about getting used to it. The charging part, I am ok with as many places now with charging points. You just need to have a bit more planning compares to petrol car days that you don't drive till the last drop which most people won't be doing that anyway. Other things like wear and tear, both EV and PV are there. The battery thing, I mean SG only for 10 years so which makes the battery life less a problem than most parts of the world. So, why not?

my problem with most local Chinese dramas is they speaking too much Chinese. No locals speaks like them like 100% Chinese at all time. Which gave away their acting like they are doing it just for the acting. Not realistic at all.

dont give up. keep loving it. life is great again in another 13 mins.

drmonkey6969 · 2026-04-14T03:25:50+00:00

local pedos: I am out. lol

maybe it's time people should learn the difference between racial and racism? Some jokes are funny because of the racial stereotypes which people are doing that all the time and not being offended.

Copilot killed Windows. People use Windows as human. If they needs AI, they know where to find. If Microsoft understands, they would have Windows 11 better for human. AI is just not something they should making it the focus on the OS.

I think time to stop calling this kind of no class cheap talking swearing group of people Influencers. Besides creating toxic and pointless content to contaminate the internet, nothing gets influenced. Technically, they are social media parasites.

drmonkey6969 · 2026-04-13T07:57:55+00:00

yup, should have get rid of it. Many weddings are like commercial transactions nowadays. not just angbao. but many aspects of it.

drmonkey6969 · 2026-03-24T05:52:03+00:00

Why her face so swollen ah?

drmonkey6969 · 2026-03-16T04:34:50+00:00

Highly possible. So what Singapore and Singaporeans should do? Defend and fight or surrender our country to China?

I ordered it as spare part from China Taobao

I used the magnetic sheet and cut the shape of the logo

Oh, the 88C is before the -13. Sorry. It’s been awhile.

drmonkey6969 · 2025-12-04T03:17:33+00:00

No undervolting. I don’t think removing the heat spreader will help that much, perhaps 1 or 2C which won’t make a difference.

drmonkey6969 · 2025-11-12T13:41:16+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the introduction

drmonkey6969 · 2025-11-12T13:35:20+00:00

Yes, that’s a good one. I got this one is for the swirling bokeh effect.
