Chevrolet Volt Electrical Teardown

Every now and then I will post teardown from other websites, mainly from iFixIt. And these teardown are mostly on smartphone, tablet and game console. Recently I stumble upon a different type of teardown, it is on a car, an electrical car to be exact. Even though this is a car teardown, it was focus on the electrical and electronics circuitry teardown, I found it is quite interesting. If you however don't find it interesting, you may leave a msg in comment and I will add "waste time" tag for this post. :P

Chevrolet Volt is the hybrid car from General Motor. ubm techinsights is the company in charge of this teardown. The teardown covers:

• the electronics used to control the complex transmission system
• the motors use to generate electricity, inverter system, how AC connect to the system
• the home charger system
• the lithium ion battery system (it provides 360V DC!)

Unfortunately I can't post the teardown directly in this blog, it require registration to get 3 powerpoint files that contains the teardown. Registration is however free! One thing to note is I can't register with free email (gmail/yahoo/hotmail/etc), the website require an company email account.
Register and get the teardown free at this link:

new iPad (2012) is selling in Malaysia now

Okay, new iPad is selling like hot cake in US for a while already. However today is the first day new iPad (or I called it iPad 2012) selling in Malaysia. And the price is the same like iPad2 before price reduce.

So to complete this post, here is the price list:

• WiFi only:
• 16GB: RM1499
• 32GB: RM1799
• 64GB: RM2099
• WiFi + 4G:
• 16GB: RM1899
• 32GB: RM2199
• 64GB: RM2499

Got rumors said that the 4G on iPad 2012 is not being supported in Malaysia telco because of different operating frequency of LTE of Malaysia compare to US. This was enforced by the government, so nothing we can do about it if this rumors is true. For additional RM400, you get a piece of junk that operate just like the WiFi version only. Will Apple fix this? or Already fixed? We have to wait and see.

I have posted the cost of making a new iPad:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-much-is-your-new-ipad.html

Anyway, I don't care is it selling like curry fish head or hot cake because I am not buying it now. Check out why I am still not buying new iPad:

BleachBit: the real HDD cleaning agent

I am happy with the lightning speed of SSD however suffer at the same time with the tiny space on SSD. SSD is still super expensive compare to the conventional (magnetic) harddisk. I have the quick check on Amazon just now and found out Cricial 128GB SSD (US$146.34) is much more expensive than Seagate 750GB (US$105.65), with both are 2.5 inch.

Due to the tiny diskspace on SSD, I have always watch out the stuffs I store on this SSD, and disk cleaning is become household chores (hate it but have to do it!). However "Disk Cleanup" which come with all Windows is one heck of useless software. It can clean up some of the junk, but most of the junk still remain as it is, hiding somewhere in the harddisk.

Today I bump into BleachBit, this guy really do what it is called, bleach!



Not only Windows OS's junks, it can also clean up junks from:

• Adobe Reader
• FireFox
• Google Chrome
• IE
• Java
• MS Office
• Paint
• Silverlight
• VLC media player
• Windows explorer
• Winzip
• Wordpad
• etc, whichever it can find in your HD. (The author claimed that the list is 780+ apps for Windows)

It can also shred files, directory and free space. Shred free space is a really important things to do before sending your computer to repair shop. Because delete file and flush it in recycle bins does not really get rid of it. I have posted methods to retrieved deleted files:

http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2012/01/recuva-another-file-recovery-freeware.html

BleachBit is available for Linux and Windows.And it is portable, in 56 languages.
Best of all, it is free!

Which Android Antivirus Should You Use?

Even though Google now is reviewing every single apps that going to be available on Market or Google Play, there are still huge amount of malware apk that being distributed outside of Market/Google Play. The best practice is to install apk from reliable source(s) only, another method is to install antivirus, but which one to use?

According to AV-Test.org, an independent IT-Security institute from German, there are only 3 out of 41 antivirus apps that are really doing the job:
F-Secure Mobile Security [€29.95]
Kaspersky Mobile Security (Lite) [free]
McAfee Mobile Security [7 days trial, US$29.99]



Looks like Kaspersky Mobile Security (Lite) is best choice from the list. However it is still depend on your own preference. This is just a suggestion only.

How to Print PDF to Multiple page in Windows

This is the combination of previous post to complete this post.

Sometime some companies/banks/gov offices/etc etc would publish some info into PDF. These kind of PDF have too much of information that printing it out would just waste of paper, since everything is too small to see if we print it into single piece of paper.

Thanks to Tokyo Subway and Railway Maps PDF, I have found the method to print huge or large PDF into multiple pages, so that it is clearer to see on papers.

There are about 103,000,000 results if we search for "how to print pdf to multiple pages" on google. I looked at a few of them, but some of them did help to provide idea to me. So there is how I did it:

1. Install PDF-XChange Viewer or download portable version and unzip it:
http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer
Free version can do this job. :-)

2. Open the PDF file using PDF-XChange Viewer.

3. Click "File" -> "Export" -> "Export to Image".

4. Pick your options:
4.a: Page Range: All, or current page, or selected pages.
4.b: Save As: export file format [I picked BMP or TIFF], destination path, and export mode [use default]
4.c: Graphic: page zoom [100%], page background [just pick white], resolution [a bit tricky here, you have to play with it until satisfy, but 300dpi would do the job for me]

5. Click export.

6. Print the image file into multiple pages using this method:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2011/09/print-large-image-to-multiple-pages-in.html

I told you that this is a combination of previous post with this port.
Now go print your humongous PDF.


Note: Adobe PDF Reader will never have this export to image feature, stingy Adobe.
