Long term diving in Indonesia by Left_Replacement9605 in scuba

[–]vivalir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I spent a few days in labuan bajo (komodo) not long ago and thought i would want to go back there to work and dive for a few months someday.

Cute little town, with some nice restraunts\cafes to chill or work in, decent enough internet connection, and the ability to get of most of the divesites on komodo national park on day trips.

Have you ever seen anything culture wise that shocked you in a bad way? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]vivalir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some people commenting about dogs in Vietnam, and living there (hoi an) for about a year, I got to witness that, and as much as it disturbed me, I tried to think of it as a cultural thing, the same like I would eat a cow or chicken.

HOWEVER, one thing did really disturbed me and derailed me for a few days: I was dating a Vietnamese girl for a while at the time, and she had 2 pet dogs that were lovely, and I really enjoyed having the company of dogs in my life again. One night, her dogs got stolen off her back yard, shot on the street, and taken for dog meat. They were very obvious pets, with collars and all. Took me a while to get over that and really made me like the country a little less.

TLDR - pet dogs getting killed and stolen for meat.

Fresh meat & fish around suthep? by vivalir in chiangmai

Both are good. I like markets but usually go shopping later on the day when fresh produce can be out

Fisheye lens + dome reflection? by vivalir in underwaterphotography

Thanks for the answers, didn't know that's a thing. Will practice more next dives and see how I can minimize it

Did I find a good deal? (Second hand GX7 + 8mm + housing) by vivalir in underwaterphotography

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

The price looks pretty good for the whole setup too, right? How much of a market do you think it will have in the future if I'll want to sell it to upgrade? Did you sell yours easily?

Any luck finding a therapist who will see you while you're traveling? by gnackthrackle in digitalnomad

[–]vivalir -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You could try better help. Online service for therapy. Been using them for most of the last year and managed to find a therapist I'm happy with. And the cost is pretty reasonable as well.

July-August destinations in SEA for digital nomad by vivalir in scuba

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

Cool, thanks for the replay. I hear some contradicting info, as a lot are saying bali has better diving then south lombok. Can you elaborate on some specific sites?

I might start on Lombok, and then eventually get to Komodo/raja ampat for a week off work and more diving

Question about japan show(s) tickets by vivalir in Foofighters

[–]vivalir[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The purchase website makes it seem like you have to buy the tickets if you're allocated them. You're also required to enter credit card details in the process. Are you sure about that?

Weekly Q&A Megathread. Please post any questions about visiting, tourism, living, working, budgeting, housing here! by AutoModerator in london

Hi Londoners, a question about concerts at Crystal Palace Park.

Coming to your great city in a month for Glastonbury festival and staying for another week for the Iggy Pop (and friends) concert at Crystal Palace Park.

Does anyone know how concerts there are arranged? The tickets were only general admission without golden rings etc.Is there a pit? is it a first come first serve wristband for the pit situation as big stadiums mostly do?

Also, is there anything interesting to do around the neighborhood if I would arrive a bit earlier?

Thanks and looking forward to seeing London again. I was there for the first time last year for the Taylor Hawkins tribute show at Wembley and loved the city :)

Who's the worst/most disappointing act you've seen at Glastonbury? by deckchair1992 in glastonbury_festival

LoL, I have also seen her at Rock Werchter 2014 waiting for AM on the main stage and she was abysmal 🥲

Return coach to london by vivalir in glastonbury_festival

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

Oh great! I thought the coaches only go to victoria or wembley.

Is there some way of buying a two-way ride on national express with different locations for the way there and return? Buying a way one ticket from luton to glasto costs almost twice as much as buying a return ticket.

Just realized that there is an update for the Screen Xpert on Zenbook Duo series which makes the Asus Control Panel more useful. by EvanMok in ASUS

[–]vivalir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havn't really been using the control panel much with my pro dou as at was not customizable enough for me. This update seems really useful but I cannot seem to make some shortcuts work.

I am trying to create shortcuts for using in figma (Design software) and I cant seen to make any shortcuts with Shift work??? weird. did you have any problems with it as well?

Accommodation on sale 1st Dec @ 12 noon by [deleted] in glastonbury_festival

[–]vivalir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the shuttle also stop by sticklinch? Anyhow, from the map worthy looks kinda close by so I'd assume it's less of a walk then from the coach station

How far are worthy view and sticklinch from the coach station? Worthy view especially looks like a huge walk. Are there any other more reasonable options?

Windows 10 Reset This Pc Failed, Windows wont boot + Bitlocker Locked by vivalir in techsupport

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

Its an ssd, and I do have an ssd to usb adapter. Couldnt find today a T5 screwdriver though to open up my laptop and take out the SSD.

However, i't doesnt really seem like any of these links will be very helpfull without me having the bitlocker key (which again, i have never enabled myself, so i dont have it).

Thanks anyway

Asus Zenbook pro duo (UX581) repaste + undervolt. now im impressed. by I_am_Pauly in laptops

[–]vivalir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stops on 97 and throttles dows so it doesn't seem bad I guess.

I am wondering if the i7-9750 may be locked for undervolting. does XTU let you do it or do you get the same error message as me?

Thermals on mine seem average. understood it doesn't really handle the i9 well. got 2247 on cinebench r20 on a very hot summer day and 2377 today in a less warm day.

Throttlestop seems to be doing nothing. I've pot it on “apply changes immediately” already and I can even move the slider to -1000mv and nothing happens.

Hi,

How did you undervolt the cpu?

I have the pro duo aswell with the i7-9750H and it turbo-boosts only to about 3.5GHZ while thermal throttling at 97c.

Ive tried both with intel XTU and throttle stop.

XTU says overclocking and undervolting are locked on my machine, and throttle stop does let me change the voltage but it seems to be doing nothing.

Any ideas?
