Change Windows installer CD from Retail to OEM

Tweaking SETUPP.INI
For best results, you should always change both the media type and the key it will accept (i.e. change the entire PID string from 51883270 to 82503OEM). Changing just the media type sometimes doesn’t work (trying to use VLK media with OEM keys (51883OEM) , for instance).

Recovery CD/partition related

Having a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium sticker and product key attached BUT no recovery discs and the harddisk is damaged
just find someone with an actual Windows 7 install disk of the same type as yours ... and do a clean install from that disk and use the Product Key from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop to activate it. Then install the drivers, utilities, etc. from the Toshiba Support Site

Any valid Windows 7 product key determines only the edition (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise) ...
the bootable disks can very easily be converted into universal installation media supporting all Windows 7 editions (except Enterprise). There's only a single file that needs to be removed on the DVD. The file named ei.cfg in the sources folder restricts the choice of Windows editions that can be installed with that particular DVD. To remove it, you can apply the ei.cfg Removal Utility very easily.

Can I reinstall XP Home using my Dell CD on a different computer?
More than likely if the installation disk is a full install Microsoft XP Home OEM installation disk it will work, but first check the HDD of the laptop and make sure it isn't partitioned with a restore partition the runs a Ghost clone reinstall.
You may only be able to discover that through the CMOS setup and see if theres a restore boot function that you can enable that takes you to the reinstall feature on the HDD if it has one.
Some laptops have had that feature on them at least check because you may already have the OP/SYS reinstallation software already on the HDD.
...
I have used it before on a few different computers. It worked fine but it does not install drivers. Make sure you download all the drivers before re-installing windows

Regarding starter cartridge

What is a “Starter” Toner/Ink Cartridge?
An unfortunate side-effect of the starter cartridge stems from the fact that very few of them can be properly refilled. The starter cartridge often omit (or block) key components of the cartridge which would need to be “reset” in order it bring it back to full capacity.

Toner Refill Instructions
When you buy a new laser it will often come with what's called "starter cartridges". These are often only quarter full with toner and will last no longer than 1000 pages and being made of inferior plastics will often fail if you attempt to refill them (how else do you suspect the manufacturers can get you to buy a genuine cartridge so quickly!) so its best not to rely on these as potential for refilling as they are not built to be used time and again however if you are prepared to clean the roller and clean the cartridge interior each time then you may be able to artificially extend the life of cartridges significantly

How to Remotely Control Your PC (Even When it Crashes)
Intel vPro is a management platform built into Intel processors and other hardware that allows companies to manage their desktops and laptops out-of-band (OOB). That means the computers can be managed no matter if the computer in on or off, and even if the operating system has failed or there is no hard drive present.
Because vPro is designed for business use, not every Intel processor supports Intel AMT KVM. Specifically what you want to look for is a vPro logo somewhere on your computer.
Note: Only some Core i5 and i7 processors support vPro. Intel does not currently make an i3 processor with vPro.
Along with the supported processor you will also need to be using Intel’s embedded video and Intel network card. Both of these are required because in order to allow out-of-band communication, the KVM server needs direct access to the network interface as well and display to be able to show the connected machine exactly what is being displayed.

 iLo port / card for home PC?
It's worth noting that this [Intel AMT or vPro?] is only available on Q-series Intel motherboard chipsets, so it's not really an option on a lot of home PCs.

HDMI Cables Reviews
Some HDMI cables are ridiculously priced, while you can have others for only a few dollars. Because you either get a perfect signal or the cable doesn't work, it's almost always better to buy cheap cables. As mentioned above, the only real exception to this would be if you need to have very long runs.
All high-speed HDMI cables offer similar performance, with the possible exception of very long cables. In that instance, better build quality can keep the cables' bandwidth where it needs to be. With cables less than 15 feet long, you don't need to worry much about overall resistance lowering total bandwidth.

Connect Windows 7 to a shared printer on XP

Share a Printer from XP to Windows 7
...
Step 4: Next choose Add a local printer. Yes, that sounds counter-intuitive, but this is what you have to do!
Step 5: Next, click Create a new port and choose Local port from the list of options.
Step 6:  Click Next and in the Port name box, type in the path to the shared printer. It should be something like \\Aseem\HPXP, where Aseem is the name of your XP machine and HPXP is the shared name of the printer.

Sekering sering njeglek:
Cara menentukan penyebab MCB turun
cara menyentuh bagian putih dari MCB, apakah panas atau tidak.

Apabila tidak panas,
kemungkinan ada bagian instalasi yang korslet, biasanya bila instalasi yang korslet tersebut telah di perbaiki, MCB langsung dapat dinyalakan. Jika sesudah beberapa menit MCB tersebut tetap tidak bisa dinyalakan kembali, artinya MCB tersebut sudah rusak

Apabila panas
Itu menandakan MCB mengalami kelebihan beban dalam waktu yang cukup lama, tunggu beberapa menit baru menyalakan MCB tersebut, biasanya apabila langsung di nyalakan, MCB akan langsung turun kembali, hal ini disebabkan oleh BiMetal yang memuai dan membutuhkan waktu untuk kembali ke bentuk semula. Bila sesudah beberapa menit, MCB tersebut tetap tidak bisa dinyalakan, artinya MCB tersebut sudah rusak

Objective:
Want to search for all files on folder MYFILES (and its subfolders) with Date Modified = 2011 or later and then burn them to DVD

Since we can NOT directly search for files modified on 2011 or later AND WRITE THEM TO DVD, we must search for 2012 or later instead then to remove them prior to burning:
Copy MYFILES to MYFILES_2
Perform Windows search on MYFILES_2:

Delete all files found
Burn MYFILES_2 to DVD
Now you can remove MYFILES_2 folder

How NTFS Works
Last Access Time
Each file and folder on an NTFS volume contains an attribute called Last Access Time. This attribute shows when the file or folder was last accessed, such as when a user performs a folder listing, adds files to a folder, reads a file, or makes changes to a file.

So it kinda hard to tell when a file is actually opened and when it is just being scanned (by directory listing)

Baterai Tablet
Jangan mengisi baterai lebih dari sekali atau dua kali 'life cycle' per hari. Menggunakan baterai tablet sampai habis kapasitasnya/ sampai muncul peringatan/notifikasi dan melakukan pengisian hingga full menyumbang kerusakan baterai. Karena usia baterai juga dihitung berdasarkan 'life cycle'. 1 life cycle = 1x pengisian sampai penuh (full charging) + 1x penggunaan sampai habis (full discharging).  Umur usia keawetan baterai lithum rata-rata 500 life cycle/ tahun, dengan asumsi kita melakukan charging-discharging 1x per hari maka usia baterai adalah 500 dibagi 365hari. Jika kita cas 2x sehari jelas baterai tablet jadi lebih boros.
Solusi yang baik berdasar panduan penggunaan baterai lithium polymer dari perusahaan 'Apple' yang memproduksi iPhone dan iPad adalah dengan mengisi ulang baterai setelah periode penggunakan berjalan sebelum mencapai 50 % dari kapasitas untuk menghindari penghitungan 1 x life cycle. Itulah mengapa pada tablet lebih baik melakukan charging saat off atau dalam kondisi mati untuk menghindari penghitungan life cycle.
Jadi berbeda dengan type baterai nikel (yang digunakan pada handphone tahun '90an) yang lebih baik dicas saat sudah kosong, kini pada type baterai tablet berlaku kebalikannya, akan lebih baik jika dicharge sebelum benar-benar habis/ kosong.

Canon MG3570 useful user comments by "BHASKAR SKYNET"
The printer DOES NOT HAVE a label or a sticker mentioning its:
a. No MAC Address Label
b. No WPS Code Label
c. No Serial No. Label

This makes it hell when you need the above information to configure the wifi printer on your router/network.

You have to press & HOLD the Red 'Stop' Button and when the Orange Alert LED starts blinking, you have to start counting till 15 LED Blinks and release, then a network configuration page is printed which has the above info. But only tech savvy person can get to this extent, it should have been made easy for general people as well.

All network devices in the world whether a printer or a mobile or TV, anything that is on a network or is having a Wifi HAS a label/sticker mentioning the above information but this is not found on Canon.

2.  The USB Cable is very short meaning you have make an arrangement to keep the printer nearby your computer if you are printing via USB.

3. The Cartridges are double the price you get with that on HP Printers.

4. WIFI CONFIGURATION IS HELL. THE PRINTER SIMPLY DOES NOT CONNECT TO ANY WIFI NETWORK THROUGH ANY COMPUTER. I TRIED ON THREE COMPUTERS ON TWO DIFFERENT ROUTERS, CHECKED MAC FILTERING, DISABLED FIREWALL BUT ALL IN VAIN.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP REINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE FOR RECONFIGURING THE WIFI EVERYTIME AND YOU HAVE TO TRY YOUR LUCK. AFTER MAY BE 15-20 TRIALS IT GETS CONNECTED TO YOUR ROUTER & THAT TOO DELIBERATELY CHANEGING YOUR ROUTER NAME (SSID) BY ITSELF AS IT WISHES AS IF THE PRINTER IS OWNING THE ROUTER/NETWORK.

5. Its manuals, guides, information all are webpage files which is very annoying. No PDF Docs. Whenever you click in the software: 'User Manual', 'Product Information', 'Version', 'Guidance', 'Help', it simply redirects to its preconfigured webpages. An opening of PDF doc would have been more useful.

6. THE PRINTER IS VERY SMOOTH RUNNING WHILE PRINTING, NO PAPER JAMS, NO NOISE, A VERY SILENT PRINTER 'EVEN WITHOUT THE 'QUIET MODE' ENABLED. ELSE WHEN YOU PRINT FROM HP PRINTERS, THEY MAKE SUCH A NOISE 'KHAAD KHUDD KHAAD KHUDD 'AS IF AN 8.9 RICHTER SCALE EARTHQUAKE HAS COME.

7. When you open the Scanner Flap, you'll see that the White board inside, that covers the paper to be scanned, the white board is not a thick plastic piece but rather just a piece of white paper sheet which can get teared off very easily by use.

Also the Flap is very thin & delicate. Do Not keep anything heavy such as books or laptop on the printer, the top is very delicate & will not hold it for long.

8. There is no Numeric LED Display mentioning how much times you have pressed the copy button to get the number of prints. You have to count yourself.

9. DUPLEX PRINTING IS SUPERB.

10. USB & WIFI PRINTING BEGINS SO FAST ONCE CONFIGURED, THAT IT IMMEDIATELY BEGINS PRINTING THE MOMENT YOU HIT PRINT ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN. NO DELAY, NO ADJUSTMENTS OF CARTRIDGES OR THE 'KHAAD KHUDD KHAAD KHUD' in that of HP Printers.

11. NO WINDOWS APP FOR WINDOWS PHONE FOR CLOUD PRINTING. YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ANDROID PHONE TO USE GOOGLE CLOUD PRINT.

12. CLOUD PRINTING ON COMPUTER VIA GOOGLE CLOUD PRINT WEBSITE IS FABULOUS.

13. INK GETS REDUCED BIT FAST THAN INKS ON HP CARTRIDGES. I PRINTED ABOUT 60 NORMAL PAGES IN STANDARD MODE & THE CARTRIDGE LEVEL DECREASED BY 25%

14. NO DEDICATED SCAN BUTTON ON THE PRINTER. YOU HAVE TO OPEN SOFTWARE ON THE PRINTER AND THEN CLICK SCAN.

15. SINCE A WIFI PRINTER IT SHOULD HAVE A FACILITY TO SAVE/EXPORT NETWORK CONFIGURATION FILE, SO THAT NEXT TIME YOU FORMAT YOUR PC, YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH HELL ALL OVER AGAIN. BUT THE PRINTER DOES NOT HAVE EXPORT CONFIGURATION FACILITY.

REST ALL:
1. FABULOUS WIFI/USB PRINTING.
2. FAST PRINTING.
3. DUPLEX PRINTING SUPERB.
4. NO EFFORT CONFIGURING ON USB.
5. COLOUR QUALITY AWESOME.
6. SCANNING QUALITY SUPERB.
7. CLOUD PRINTING SUPERB.
8. DRIVERS INSTALL SMOOTH & FAST.
9. VERY QUITE PRINTER.
10. VERY COMPACT, EASY & PERFECT SOFTWARE INTERFACE.
11. VERY HASLE FREE PRINTING.
12. ONCE CONFIGURED & SET, PAISA VASOOL FOR LIFETIME.

HP Laserjet Multifunction 3050 reset method
If the issue is still not resolved we will need to try some resets on the HP LaserJet 3050.
1. The first reset we can try is a soft reset, it is done by pressing the MENU key then holding *# together. Â This will bring you into a Developers Menu. Â Scroll through the options until you find reinit FFS and then press the ENTER key.
2. If this reset doesn't clear the issue we can try a harder reset. Â We can do this by pressing MENU, scrolling over to SERVICE, pressing ENTER, scrolling over to RESTORE DEFAULTS and pressing ENTER to restore the defaults and ENTER to confirm.

WARNING: Restoring the defaults will clear your fax settings, phonebook numbers and headers so you may want to print a phonebook report and Config Report first. Â We can do this by accessing the Reports menu.

3. If these two resets do not help there is a third reset we can try.This reset will completely put the HP LaserJet 3050 back to factory defaults.WARNING: Before doing this reset we will need to disconnect the power cord, the phone cable, and the USB cable from the back of the HP LaserJet 3050.We can do this reset by unplugging the power cord from the back of the HP LaserJet 3050 then holding down the MENU/ENTER key and * symbol at the same time,then powering the HP LaserJet 3050 back on with the keys compressed.We will release the keys as soon as PERMANENT STORAGE INIT appears on the display screen."

Kumpulkan ke satu registrar dan seragamkan expiration date

Berbagai istilah utk menyebut penyeragaman tanggal expiration:
name.com: Sync Domain Expiration Dates: Harmonize Your Domain Name Renewal
pair.com: Exp-Align

Penjelasan via e-mail dari support@pairnic.com:

We can adjust the expiration dates for COM and NET domain names. We cannot
make changes to the expiration dates of other domain names. To make use of
this "Exp-Align" feature, all the domain names must be on the same pairNIC
account and a pay source needs to be saved on the account.

If the expiration date is extended more than six months, the cost is $19
per domain name. If the date is extended six months or less, the cost is
$15 per domain name.

If you want to have the dates adjusted, please let us know what domain
names and the date you want them to expire.

Chat dengan IDWEBHOST @ 2017-04-19 :
Mohon maaf sebelumnya pak, Bapak berkenan ketiga domain tersebut diperpanjang sampai s/d 13 juni 2018 namun itu tidak bisa Bapak dikarenakan untuk ketidak domain tersebut masa aktifnya berbeda beda sehingga kami tidak bisa custom untuk masa expirednya :)

Error when "Undo shipment"

"You cannot undo line 10000 because warehouse shipment lines have already been posted"

We have designed it so that you have to delete the posted Whse shipment if you want to undo the sales shipment.   When trying to undo a sales shipment - The message: "you cannot undo the "line xx" because a Whse shipment line has already been posted", is a warning for someone who is undoing something that is in fact not undoable (if the goods have been sent!). The fact that you have to delete the Whse shipment represents a kind of stressing that it's something important, some physical work has been made and you are undoing it.”

Cara reyen motor baru


HARD REYEN

Pertama sekali adalah dengan menggeber motor langsung begitu datang dari dealer. Kalau mesin masih bagus berarti memang bandel, namun ada juga yang langsung rontok dengan indikasi macam-macam bunyi dari blok mesin. Nah dari kedua kondisi ini dapat dilihat bagaimana mesin yang bandel dan yang tidak. Timbul pertanyaan dari kondisi kedua, "wah, masa motor baru saya langsung rontok??" dijawab dengan alasan, motor kan masih baru dan garansi, jadi kalau ada apa-apa bisa diganti. Setelah tahap ini lanjut ke tahap berikutnya yaitu untuk 200 km pertama.
1. panasi mesin sebelum dipakai (warm up) sekitar 5-10 menit
2. bawa motor jalan beberapa kilometer
3. kalau kira-kira udah cukup, cari jalan datar terus geber motor dengan gas penuh (full throttle) secara perlahan sampai gigi 2.
4. setelah beberapa ratus meter hentikan motor dan diamkan selama 15 menit dengan posisi kunci kontak off.
5. lakukan secara berkala sampai 200 km pertama.
6. setelah mencapai 200 km ganti oli.
7. selanjutnya pemakaian motor secara normal.

The Short Answer: Run it Hard !

The best method is to alternate between short bursts of hard acceleration and deceleration.


[Keterangan untuk gambar piston yang TIDAK baik kondisinya:]
The one on the left was "broken in" [di-reyen] exactly according to the owner's manual. The resulting leaky rings have allowed pressure to "blow by" down into the crankcase on acceleration, and oil to "suck-up" into the combustion chamber on deceleration.  
Needless to say, this bike was slow !!

The best thing you can do for your engine is to change your oil and filter after the first 20 miles [=32.2 km]. Most of the wearing in process happens immediately, creating a lot of metal in the oil. Plus, the amount of leftover machining chips and other crud left-behind in the manufacturing process is simply amazing !! You want to flush that stuff out before it gets recycled and embedded in the transmission gears, and oil pump etc...


Use Valvoline, Halvoline, or similar 10 w 40 Petroleum Car Oil for at least 2 full days of hard racing or 1,500 miles [=2414 km] of street riding / driving.

** Keterangan yang menunjang tapi juga agak bertentangan **
Tingkat gesekan (friction) yang lebih rendah mengakibatkan oli [sintetik] ini tidak cocok untuk situasi break-in (misalnya pada saat awal mesin-baru dijalankan) di mana gesekan diharapkan untuk menghasilkan permukaan yang aus. Tetapi pembuatan mesin yang lebih baik menyebabkan proses break-in tidak terlampau kritis seperti dulu.
(Pilih oli (pelumas) mesin mineral atau sintetik ?)

Window lost focus

Symptom:
You're working with application X but suddenly it loses focus but no new window appear frontmost.
You must click mouse to continue working with app X

Solution:
To find the culprit:
Open several (more than two) applications
Remember current order when pressing Alt+Tab
For example, pressing Alt+Tab from app X will switch to app Y
Now, while app X is in focus, wait until it loses focus again
When it happens, press Alt+Tab
If the next app has changed then you've found the app causing problem
Sometimes an unexpected app is the culprit, like the wireless adapter config window.
