Covid19 : Is panic buying good or bad?

Panic buying is always painted in bad light. I am also exponent of panic buying. But I always look things from many angles.

Let's talk about bad side:
1. Create artificial shortage causing other people unable to buy it. Example is egg hoarding causing other people unable to buy.
2. Wastage due to expiry if hoard too much fresh produce

How about the good side:
1. Reduce frequency of travel which indirectly reduce covid19 transmission

So there's not everything black and white.

Covid19 in Malaysia

This will be updated time to time

January - no more influenza vaccine (stock finish). Not related to Wuhan Virus bur since the symptom are the same, some people will link this two. At this time, people still call it Wuhan Virus. 

February - news come out from China about lockdown and for Malaysia, we start to get a bit scared. More people are infected. But recovery is 100%. Nothing is alarming. At start, it was foreigners. Then some locals. Still, everyone survived. 

March - after  backdoor government is formed, this is when shit start to hit the fan. The whole country lockdown due to Tabligh infection rate goes up to 10% and people start dying. Mostly dead are diabetes and high blood pressure patient. Lockdown is called MCO here. Movement control as they said. But its really a lock since nobody can go to work (except exempted company). 

April - to be continued.... 

Legacy software on Windows 10

I didn't realise Excel 2007 cannot do proper ALT-TAB.

Here is the solution:-

1. Open Registry Editor (Win+R followed by regedit)
2. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
3. Create a new 32-bit DWORD value named AltTabSettings and set it to 1
4. Sign out and sign back in again (or restart)

Another Product Dies with Audio Cassette

Cassette have died a long time ago. Probably in the 90s. It's a bad format. Cassette head that reads the cassette always need cleaning. And we always use Swan Alcohol to clean it. There might be other brand but this ubiquitous cassette head cleaner is always sold it every cassette shop.

Aside from using it to clean cassette head, this alcohol solution can also be used to remove sticky plastic. Very useful for Transformers toys that have gone sticky and other plastic items like phones and case.

So while the death of cassette have been long, the swan alcohol still sold for years until last year when I tried to find it in Penang, it was no where to be found. Not even Kulim. My Amazon HDX case is sticky and I need this alcohol to remove the sticky portion.

After searching high and low, I managed to find it in Mahkota Parada in Malacca. There's a shop that still sell cassette tape and I am shocked they still have loads of Swan Alcohol. Thanks to them, I can now clean my sticky plastic. Bought 2 bottle at RM6 per bottle.

Awesome! This show that Malacca is great place to get old items. LOL.
