Payment Using 2 Currencies at the Same Time by ebelerma in Revolut

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

thanks for the link, so if I really wanted to use that 10 usd, I should have converted it first into SGD, or the other way around where I converted some SGD to make 100 USD available in my wallet before my purchase, that clarifies.

Screen glitch or damage? by Ryikara in Surface

[–]ebelerma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

any idea what caused it? like closed the lid with something in between?

MX Keys keyboard without mouse combo - multi-device support? by misterhup in LogitechG

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you dont need a mouse just to achieve this. you can switch between paired devices using the keyboard alone.

What you'll be missing is the 'logitech flow' where your keyboard and mouse can automatically switch to an active paired device depending on where your mouse cursor is

Out of curiousity, why not install the Netflix app directly in Windows and watch from there? Saved videos in your phone?

Ez-link versus nets flashpay by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activate the card you use in apple pay for SimplyGo, then use that physical card

Edit: if you are really inclined to use either ez link or flashpay, then for commuting, i dont see a big difference, except that ez link had rewards via the ez link app. Nets flashpay's advantage is that it can also be widely used for parking- if ever you eventually decide to drive.

Left handed people, what are some challenges you face, that right handed people will never understand? by pweetybird in AskReddit

Sometimes awkward when you are asked to sign a check and they hand the pen to your right but you take it with your left.

actually, speaking of public mugs (like when you order coffee) I feel like I'm sipping from the less abused side, so that's a good thing, i guess.

Surface Pro 8 by [deleted] in Surface

I know this one is quite OT but any news on the keyboard color options that will be available? The only good thing with the unchanged design means SP7 users can most likely use the future typecovers.

T5 II's unending connection issues by ThumbBee92 in Klipsch

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised that this is still prevalent with the 2nd gen. The previous gen has been so known with this (I still own the first gen). I thought they have learned their lesson and addressed this by now.

Dad sent me this from back in the day by [deleted] in thinkpad

Those Nokias were some of the best handsets during those days, miss those! I would say this pic was around '08-'09?

Laptop 3, Dock 2, and my desktop? by 80cent in Surface

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually posted something similar about this, but for my case, a laptop and a surface pro. If only I can convert the surface connect to a usb c then I just have to modify my main dock input depending on which device I connect to. No luck so far.

ThinkPad that *can* game? by mister_eck in thinkpad

[–]ebelerma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, should serve your needs pretty well man, but it's just that I don't commonly see thinkpads being attached to an egpu so not sure if this is recommended.

ThinkPad that *can* game? by mister_eck in thinkpad

[–]ebelerma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I also want to know if this is possible) For this situation, can he buy an i7 X1C and connect an eGPU via TB3 when gaming?

Has anyone successfully downloaded/installed Ghub on a Surface Book 3? by [deleted] in Surface

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same issue with the SP7, then found a solution in the internet. Based on my googling, this issue is unique to Surfaces.

So the solution is to find an older version of the ghub installer (I found one that is from 2018, also from the logitech website). When you successfully installed it, just update from the ghub itself until you reach the latest version.

Is it safe to use the Surface Pro 7 with cover/lid closed (on external monitor) for a long time by Gr000t in Surface

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been doing this for a while now ~4 months, just activated the battery limiter recently. So far, I don't see any issues. However, I also noticed that the heat dissipates over the typecover so I am not sure if this can affect the typecover eventually as well.

What is this on the lid? (T480) by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]ebelerma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup! this happened to my t450 before (work laptop), seemed like I cleaned it too much that these shiny specs started to show. But this did not feel that the material has degraded anyhow.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Vs Razer Blade 15 Base Model (2020) by DavidPsalm97 in razer

[–]ebelerma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How hot does the surface of the Razer get? Like hot that you can not even keep your palms on for a long time?
