My favorite stuffs from Plants vs. Zombies shooter games...

Even though if I clearly only play standard Plants vs. Zombies tower defense games on various of my devices that I own, but since I also watch various of Plants vs. Zombies shooter gameplay videos on YouTube by various YouTubers who uploaded them since my childhood, I decided to create this particular article here because I also interested by all of those contents that are available on each of the games themselves, ranging from the characters themselves from both plant and zombie sides, until all the way to the IRL merchandises that were once existed back in those days. So, as usual, let's take a look about the particular topic that this particular article's title clearly says, shall we?

C. Maps

Through three different games themselves, there are plenty of those locations that are my favorites (though not all of them that I listed here, especially for those ones that are from Battle for Neighborville [which they're somewhat obscure to tell]), so those are:

1. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare

a. Multi game modes

• Garden Center
• Zomboss Estate
• Suburban Flats
• Port Scallywag
• Crash Course
• Jewel Junction

b. Gardens & Graveyards

• Main Street
• Driftwood Shores
• Cactus Canyon

2. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2

a. Multi game modes

• Z-Tech Factory
• Zen Peak
• Frosty Creek

a. Multi game modes

b. Turf Takeover

• Peachy District
• Preserve Pastures

D. Ports

Even though I still clearly don't have any physical copies of (at least) one of those games and proper device to play them since then, but if I want to play them, the PC port is definitely the one that I'm looking for. However, since there are lot of total hacker problems in PC version of Garden Warfare 2 since last several years since the entire game's initial launch (excluding those of the genuine mods by several of their respective genuine authors out there), the console version is also my good option. Also, the Switch version of Battle for Neighborville is possibly my good option as well.

E. IRL merchandises...

Believe or not, since I also centering around the IRL merchandises of the franchise as a whole (both from the standard tower defense games section and shooter games section), there were plenty of official IRL merchandises that were existed somewhere from several years ago, which those were Diamond Select Toys, Minimates, Funko Pop, Jazwares, and K'NEX, respectively. So, those ones that are my favorites are:

1. Diamond Select Toys

• Scientist and Peashooter (in his Pea Gatling ability)*
• All Star and Shadow Flower*
• Foot Soldier and Camo Cactus*
• Marine Biologist and Toxic Pea*
• Goalie Star and Sunflower*
• Captain Deadbeard and Kernel Corn**
• Super Brainz and Rose**
• Disco Zombie and Peashooter**

* means it was based from the Garden Warfare.
** means it was based from the Garden Warfare 2.

2. Minimates

Even though there were bunch of them that packed inside those blisters, but I spotted few of them that were my favorites, so those were:

a. Plants

• Peashooter
• Fire Pea
• Sunflower
• Shadow Flower
• Kernel Corn
• Rose

b. Zombies

• Foot Soldier
• Scientist
• Captain Deadbeard
• Super Brainz

3. Funko Pop

AFAIK, Funko Pop only released just a single Super Brainz figure. Though it wasn't my favorite, but the design of it was great overall.

4. Jazwares

Believe or not, Jazwares did release some of the figure sets that were based from the shooter games section, specifically from Garden Warfare 2. Though those weren't as memorable as their tower defense game's counterparts which they used to produce and manufacture them initially since 2012, but I spotted couple of them that were my favorites. So, those sets were:

• Captain Deadbeard and Parrot Pal, and
• that one box which contained 6 certain figures like Peashooter, Chomper, Kernel Corn, Foot Soldier, Imp, and Captain Deadbeard, respectively.

5. K'NEX

And finally, those ones that I always excited the most since 2014, which were those of the K'NEX ones. Similarly to the Jazwares, they also used to release those characters from the shooter games section right after they initially released those ones that were from the tower defense games section, specifically based off Plants vs. Zombies 2 judging by their designs... Since I own most of those figures since I got them from a while ago, I spotted plenty of them that were my favorites, which majority of them were the plant characters (because why not, every zombie characters just simply didn't come with their primary weapons, except Super Brainz [since he is a melee character class]). Anyway, those figures were:

a. Series 4 blind bags

• Kernel Corn
• Rose
• Citron
• Peashooter
• Super Brainz

b. Series 5 and 6 blind bags

Note : Kernel Corn, Rose, and Citron aren't included in this particular list, because they all look exactly the same.

• Power Flower
• Plasma Pea

c. Small building sets...

Courtesy: SquirrelStampede's YouTube channel (which was the one that featured me in there...)

I would choose that Crazy Targets one, since that set was the only one that exclusively featured that Sunflower, albeit it also obviously came with the Foot Soldier with that weird looking ZPG... That Boat Blast building set was also my favorite thanks to the presence of that Peashooter, although I was so utterly disappointed by how awful the building set itself looked.

6. Others...

a. Limited edition figure of Z7 Imp in his mech...

Similarly to that Funko Pop Super Brainz figure, it also wasn't my favorite, but the design of it was great though.

b. Bootleg figures...

Of course those of the bootleg ones were existed, although they were rare to come by, unlike those of the mad common ones that were from the tower defense games section. Despite it's existence, I spotted few of them that were my favorites, which were those of the cheap knockoff version of the Diamond Select Toys ones.

Before I wrap up this entire article, do you have your own memories when it comes to playing those of the Plants vs. Zombies shooter game trilogy? Or even collecting those figure sets from those games instead? If so, feel free to share your own story in your comments section if you still remembered them though. Anyway, that's basically it for what I could share particularly about my favorite stuffs from Plants vs. Zombies shooter games as a whole, and as always, thanks for reading this particular article.

My weird experience with remote socket fan + LED light things...

Being an electric fan enthusiast since more than a decade ago, I'm recently interested by those of the popular remote socket fan + LED light things that are currently available nowadays, mostly on certain online marketplaces that are available overseas, including our country. Ranging from those of the ring light ones, until all the way to those ones that roughly resembled those of the average mini ceiling fans. Without further ado, let me share my own experience about those of my mini socket fan + LED light things (which I actually got 2 of them in my collection, for now).

Before I begin, you may recognize about how come if any of those mini socket fan + LED light things are now exist everywhere? Well, this kind of trend is actually existed since few decades ago, although those ones that were existed back in those good old days were the ones with just the fans themselves, albeit they were insanely rare to come by... However, somewhere in 2022, specifically in the US, this kind of trend went increasingly popular thanks to those predecessors of the socket fan + LED lights themselves that were existed there (for this case, it was that Bell + Howell/Emson brand), which they initially released them with their own first version (the ones with 4 straight blades with the light on the center part of it, and the color of it is white [but then they also released even more versions besides that one, such as the black version of it, and that one "ring light" version which also comes with it's own RGB light]). This also led to how any of those random cheap Chinese manufacturers also produced their own versions in WAY much higher quantity, which those are the ones that are now exists overseas. So, those versions of themselves are:

• Simple "ring light" with the fan on the center part of it (which comes with different variants per each of them [such as different colors and motifs of fan grill cages themselves, different wattages between each of themselves, and etc.),
• Those ones which roughly resembles those of the simple "ring light" ones, except with the weird mini "orbit fan" on the center part of it,
• 4 straight bladed version (33 cm/13"),
• 6 petal bladed versions (both 42 cm/~16" and 52 cm/~20" versions, including those with their own light sockets under themselves instead of their own built-in white LED lights which they originally come with them),
• 5 straight or petal bladed versions (62 cm/~24", or sometimes 42 cm/16" [?]),
• Those of the "drone" fans (which comes with either 3 or 4 fans),
• Those ones with retractable blades that resembled those of the actual full-size "Fanaway" ceiling fans, and
• Many more of the obscure designs of themselves...

As of those ones in my collection, I only own 2 of them so far, which both of those are:

• PPlus (simple "ring light" with white fan grill cages, 3 blade, 50 WATTS), and
• Kawachi (4 straight bladed version [33 cm/13"], white-blue version, 14 watts [7 watts for both fan and light themselves, respectively])

PPlus

Kawachi

Then, as of my own experience of me using either one of the two, there's not much else that I could particularly say about it apart from the fact they both seem to work just properly and blow reasonably good amount of air delivery as what I expected on their own (depending on where I installed them both, otherwise they would only generate less amount of air delivery compared to regular electric fans in general), although each of them both do have their own respective flaws while they're operating. So, those flaws are:

• They sometimes produce some constant sparks while it's operating (especially when I tried to install them on certain light sockets). They also doing so every single time right after I turn them on by simply flicking the light switch...... Oh, on the worst cases, they will outright shorting the MCB if they're out of control (which causing the MCB itself to be popped or broken). This exact problem usually occurs somewhat frequently, particularly on certain ones with ludicrously higher amount of wattage (precisely for those that consumes 50 WATTS or above).
• When both fan and LED light themselves are on, the LED lights themselves sometimes flickers slightly.
• They always produce weird high frequency sounds from their own DC motors every single time while it start-ups regardless of the speed that I'm choosing to. This doesn't apply to those of the "ring light" versions, although they also produce weird sounds from their own DC motors while they're operating, albeit with completely different way and much more quieter than those of the non "ring light" ones that I've mentioned just earlier.
• Certain ones with ludicrously higher amount of wattage may cause some weird interaction with certain electronic devices (for example, few of my own digital TV's stations that is broadcasting at the moment just gets stunned severely every single time I turn them on [which resulting them in "no signal" state], until I have to turn them off to fix them).
• Most models tend to have much heavier weight, especially for many of those that aren't simple "ring light" ones. Which means, in case if you want one of those, you must prepare at least one strong installation of your own ceiling light socket in order to prevent any of those obvious accidents while it's operating there.

Despite several of those flaws that they have, that still doesn't stop me to get even more of those, although I still don't have enough budget for purchasing another one of those soon. Anyway, if you have your own experience for using one of those remote socket fan + LED light things, feel free to share your own short stories in the comment section if you're able to. That's basically it for what I could particularly say about it, and as always, thanks for reading this particular article.

FAQs: my childhood YouTube stuffs...

Believe or not, I watched any kinds of YouTube videos particularly since 2012. Although the ones that I'm watching right now are basically just the ones that resembles to what I usually upload on both of my own YouTube channels that I have, but there were even more of YouTube videos of any kind that I ever watched particularly since then... Without further ado, let me answer them into this sort of frequently asked question essays, ranging from the common ones, until all the way to bunch of those specific ones that are related to both of my own YouTube channels. So, here are my essays particularly about them, right away.

Q : What was your very first YouTube videos that you ever watched in general?

A : My very first YouTube videos that I ever watched were various videos of drum band parades performed by various schools (mainly junior high schools and senior high schools) in Rantepao (North Toraja, South Sulawesi, Indonesia). Those videos were originally recorded specifically several days after our entire country's 62th independence day (August 17th, 2007)... Those were also my very first YouTube videos which I also downloaded them from the internet, and surprisingly I still keep most of them, although those were got deleted from YouTube later on since around a decade ago. 🥁

Q : Did you ever watch that legendary Jawed's "Me at the zoo" video that he uploaded back in 2005?

A : Unfortunately, no I didn't.

Q : How did you able to watch YouTube videos initially in those times specifically from then?

A : I used to watch them casually using a browser on my very first laptop, which I connected to the internet using a (some sort of) painfully slow USB modem that always didn't deliver it's own internet access very well... Even though I also used to have my very first smartphone, but that also wasn't really that reliable to do so, because I always opened the browser instead of the YouTube app itself.

Q : What was your very first YouTube gaming videos that you ever watched in general?

A : If I guessed that right, both of the original game trailers of Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, respectively... That also applied to most of the retro gaming videos too, because the fact I used to play some of those NES or Famicom games on my old Famiclone that I used to own (which the one that I used to have was the one that shaped like original Playstation 1), and so for those of the bootleg Game Boy Advance multicarts that contained hundreds of NES or Famicom games that I also used to play them on my old original Game Boy Advance. 🎮

Q : What was your very first YouTube music videos that you ever watched or listened?

A : This might be a tricky question, but my very first YouTube music videos that I ever watched or listened were various of music covers from one of my favorite dangdut koplo bands in our whole country that were existed in those days (specifically from East Java province), though those videos were deleted due to the obvious copyright infringement... As for any foreign music tracks that I ever listened, those of the 009 Sound System songs were also the inclusions for this too, since I watched many of those electric fan videos, most of the people used to equip random songs from themselves in those days (which YouTube obviously demonetized them anyway, including most of mine as well).🎶

Q : What was your very first YouTube animation videos (of any kind) that you ever watched?

A : Those of the earliest Alan Becker's creations of his famous animated cartoon videos, followed by FunVideoTV's 3D fanmade animation videos of their own Angry Birds stuffs.

Q : What was your very first YouTube channel that you ever subscribed?

A : Rfm vs Games, because the fact I started enjoying Plants vs. Zombies franchise since then, I also decided to watch YouTube videos in it's days by subscribing him thanks to his entertaining contents that were relevant to the aforementioned franchise itself.🎮

Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan video that you ever watched in general?

A : "World's Loudest Ceiling Fan".

Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan videos by some collectors and enthusiasts that you ever watched in general?

A : There were plenty of those that I watched since then, especially that one ceiling fan collection video by a fan collector who used to live in a trailer park filled with themselves... However, certain people such as Vintage Fans & More (formerly known as Cole S.), Dan "Spiffy" Neuman, and Pankaat (that one fan collector from UAE) were the ones that I always recognized the most until today.

Q : What was your very first YouTube electric fan videos specifically from your country that wasn't from your own?

A : From what I remembered since then, those of TheeXtremeFanEnthusiast's first electric fan videos that he uploaded in the late of 2013. Not only just that, I also watched bunch of electric fan videos by a guy who lives in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia (unfortunately, his old channel got deleted later on in favor of his current one that exists since few years ago [though some of his friends were able to retrieve some of his old footages of themselves]).

Q : What was your very first YouTube smashing stuff video that you ever watched in general?

A : That one Beno's video of him smashing a desk fan and messing around with it's own 220v/50Hz AC motor that came with it, simple as that.🔨

Q : What was your very first YouTube smashing stuff channels that you ever subscribed?

A : Garret Claridge and Shawn K... For Garret Claridge's case, it's because it was my very first YouTube smashing stuff channel that I ever subscribed thanks to his unique contents of mainly blowing speakers and smashing random items (though most of them were vintage electronics though, so yeah)... Meanwhile, as for the Shawn K's case, I was impressed by the way how he and Matt smashed random electronic items in their own entertaining way which caused I sometimes laughed every single time I watched his destruction videos (though they both also ever destroyed certain random vintage electronic items, especially for that Macintosh Classic II that they both did in 2013, but it's okay I guess).🔨

Q : What was your very first YouTube toy review videos that you ever watched?

A : Probably the reviews of those of the Jazwares sets of the original Plants vs. Zombies mini figure sets (both blister packs and blind bags). Those were existed right when K'NEX mini figure sets of themselves still yet to be existed until roughly around a year later... Not sure for other franchises like Angry Birds though.

Q : What was your very first YouTube bootleg toy review videos that you ever watched?

A : Those reviews of the weird, cheap bootleg Plants vs. Zombies mini figure brick sets, including plenty of those that ripped off their packaging from K'NEX.

Q : What was your very first YouTube device review videos of any kind that you ever watched?

A : I believe it was that Ashens' video of reviewing that exact fake iPhone 4, called "Airphone 4", followed by most of his "Pop Station" mini LCD handheld games that he reviewed too... Bootleg devices aside, I couldn't remember my very first YouTube's official device review videos that I ever watched though (including those that are particularly available from our entire country too).

Q : Apart from electric fans, toys, gaming stuffs, music, marching or drum band stuffs, smashing stuffs, and hardware reviews...... What was your first random YouTube videos that weren't from those of the aforementioned categories that you ever watched?

A : Somewhere around a decade ago, I used to watch various random YouTube videos that weren't from those of the said categories; those were abandoned places videos, random compilation videos, random skit videos, random documentary videos, and so on.

Well then, there you have it for my frequently asked question essays particularly about my own childhood YouTube stuffs. If you have your own good old memories regarding to this particular article, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if you still recognized them though from your own perspective. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and cheers!

Archive: Quick experience with my Asus ZenPad C Android tablet (2016)

You probably recognize if I actually used to have yet another Android tablet besides both of those old Advan ones that I mentioned in some of my older posts that featured them? Obviously no, thanks to that one nearly 9 year old Blogspot article that explained about it and those of the other two aforementioned tablets that I made from 2016 (though I accidently deleted all of those pictures of themselves, leaving them with just "❗" marks), which coincidently also the same year where I purchased this particular tablet. Without further ado, let me tell my own quick story about the aforementioned device itself right away... (yes, "quick" because why not)

A. Purchasing the device itself...

Believe or not, I purchased this particular tablet because I used to look at one of those popular physical catalogs that featured the review of it before, simple as that. Although I noticed some weaknesses that this thing delivered according to how they initially reviewed it in there, but that didn't stop me for purchasing it from one of the local cell phone stores in my hometown, which costed around IDR 2.000.000 (which means it was my most expensive tablet that I ever purchased among all of them).

B. Specifications...❓

Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the full specifications for this particular tablet. However, I still remembered the model number of it, which was P01Y, and it originally ran on Android 5.0. The amount of RAM was probably similar to what my old Zenfone 5 had, but I'm not 💯% sure. Also, just like many average Android devices that they were available on sale in those times (or even today), it had two SIM card slots and a single microSD card slot, respectively... As of the other stuffs that originally came with it from it's own box, it came with it's own microUSB cable, adapter, instructions, and the 1-year warranty card.

C. The experience of it, but...

There's not much else that I could particularly say to it apart from the fact it performed almost identically to what my old Asus Zenfone 5 would do when it comes to basic stuffs in general (including game tests, albeit it was much less amount of time), except it's own internal storage space was 4 GB lower than that of my old Zenfone 5. Which means, if I put too much files or apps on it, it eventually led into that dreaded insufficient storage space notification. There were no absolute option apart from the fact I must uninstall bunch of apps that I didn't need in there (including some of those bloatware ones). Unfortunately though, I was unable to uninstall them because I'd only able to disable them natively by myself instead of doing so straight away (unless if I had a knowledge to access some third-party apps or certain methods in order to do so).

As for the camera itself, the quality of it was roughly similar to my old Zenfone 5, with an exception of how this one simply didn't have the autofocus on it's own single rear camera... The picture quality of it was mildly mediocre, and so for it's own video recording too (which was somewhat lower volume but noisier sounds compared to my old Zenfone 5). Even if this particular tablet had THAT exact amount of internal storage space, at least I was able to save my saved pictures and saved videos separately on my own microSD card that I used to equip in there (coincidently, the microSD card that I used to equip in there is the same one that I'm currently using on my Asus 📱 that I'm heavily using it right now since 2019, which I also used it initially on one of my old Advan tablets too since I purchased that particular microSD card from then).📷📹

(this was taken when it crashed right after i unlocked it from it's own lock screen...)

Apart from that major insufficient storage space issues that I mentioned just earlier, it also had another issue where I tried to unlock it right from the lock screen, it immediately crashed the entire operating system then rebooted straight after by itself for some odd reasons. This occurred numerous times, and it eventually fixed by itself for unknown reasons that I had no clue about how come it initially occurred just before... With the weird state that it specifically had, I only used it for several months by myself until I decided to give it away to my cousin in the same year where I purchased it instead of selling it to someone for mildly steal price like what I did with my old Samsung Galaxy Y (or on the worst cases similarly to what I did to one of those Advans, smashing it), but he probably didn't satisfy by how it performed which caused he ended up purchasing his own better Android device later on (though he also used to have his old Evercoss tablet that performed similarly to one of my old Advan tablets).

Since then, I had no clue whether if he still keep it or not, due to the fact I no longer noticed the aforementioned tablet itself anymore after few months later... Well then, that concludes about my short archive story particularly about this Android tablet that I used to own there for several months within that year. With plenty of those flaws that it specifically had, I doubt it if I can purchase another Android tablet again, since most of those modern day Android devices will perform much better than one of those. Although there are some modern day Android tablets out there, but I absolutely have no clue about which one that I want to purchase in case if I need it...... Only the time will tell about the actual truth particularly about it soon.

my Android 📱's performance suddenly did this... (and eventually...)

After that one occurrence where my 6 year old Android 📱 suddenly got it's own original 🔋 just inflated by itself in the last year which I was able to troubleshoot it, but then in this year, it's own performance suddenly went totally dropped where my 📱's entire old Android 9 (🥧) operating system just lagged horribly. Seriously, it's own entire operating system literally did so because I was once opened one of the random apps which I rarely used it for a while, but then it suddenly led into the aforementioned problem itself which I couldn't even get rid of it by myself... Well then, it's time to find the actual truth about how come if it suddenly occurred initially like so, until how I was able to troubleshoot the problem itself later on.

As what I clearly mentioned just earlier, I was once opened one of the random apps that I rarely used it for a while (for this case, it was one of those random floating browser apps that I was officially installed on it from the Play Store). The reason about how come if I decided to open the aforementioned app itself, it's purely because I was so bored, simple as that... However, right when I demonstrated the app's key feature of it, instead of working properly as what it should be, it just caused my entire 📱 just lagged absurdly by all of the sudden. This particular sudden total lag problem literally existed, even if I already uninstalled the aforementioned app that probably caused this to occur initially. It also made the matters worse, no matter if I kept restarting it numerous times, deleting unnecessary files on it's own internal storage, installing some antivirus and cleaner apps on it, or tweaking some stuffs on it's own settings (precisely on it's own developer options section), this particular problem always returned by itself after roughly several minutes depending on which apps or mobile games that I opened (ranging from those of the light ones, until all the way to those of the heavy ones), or on the worst cases, it occurred by itself during it was on standby. During this occurred, it literally struggled severely to open almost any apps or any mobile games that I tried to open them specifically on it (which either they went unresponsive or they just crashed instead), and so for it's own System UI itself. It also caused my 📱's back part of it went overheated as well, but it was mildly less compared to those times when it used to equip with it's own original 🔋 that got suddenly inflated in the last year though.

Even if this lag problem existed, but I just found out about how come if my 📱 suddenly did this by all of the sudden. It turned out if certain system background apps literally bloated almost my entire 📱's RAM for severely odd reasons, which I was able to check it from one of the options of it's own developer options despite it's unresponsive state that it had, specifically right during I tried to access the aforementioned section itself... However, I was able to fully troubleshoot it by bringing it into the same service center where I used to replace it's own original 🔋 with the better one in the last year, by simply resetting it's own entire Android operating system itself back to it's factory settings for relatively cheap price (which was exactly IDR 50.000 for doing so). Though I obviously lost all of my own data and all of those progresses that I saved on it's own internal storage, but I was able to restore whatever else that I used to do those stuffs that I usually do on it, but not all of them though (unless everything on it is all set already as of today). Well, that simply concluded about how the problem itself that was initially occurred from (supposed to be) that one random app, until all the way to how I was able to fix it by resetting the entire 📱's operating system itself back to it's factory settings. 

As of today, it now works fairly 🆗 as if it was brand 🆕 from 6 years ago. Unfortunately though, according to the repairman who repaired this in his own service center, the entire old Android 9 operating system itself that is installed specifically on this 📱 will definitely obsolete roughly in the next year (or two). Because of this particular statement that he specifically said so to me, I don't think if I will decide to get a brand 🆕 Android 📱 with newer Android operating system(s) once this 📱 no longer support it's own old Android operating system soon (unless if he would able to install custom Android operating system on it [such as something like Lineage OS, CMIIW], but I highly doubt it)............ Only the time will tell about the actual truth particularly about this once it will happens soon.

My mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection...

It's been a while since I made bunch of my YouTube fan videos of themselves, so it's time for explaining about those of my mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection. However, all of them had their own stories per each of those, which I ended up got rid each of them for good (except for one of them which it simply lost). Without further ado, let me list all of those aforementioned mini ceiling fans that I'm referring to, right away.

1. Another Elitesat FC-08-50 500mm

First off, you may recognize this exact blue Elitesat mini ceiling fan which I featured bunch of times on my YouTube channel already, but I actually used to have another identical Elitesat mini ceiling fan, and that one was my very first mini ceiling fan that I ever purchased in my life back in 2008, followed by this one. It worked similarly as this one, except it was slightly less wobbly compared to this one too... It initially used to mount in the living room of that house (and so for this one), but then I decided to move it in two different bedrooms of that house (and so for this one too). However, during the mini renovation of my childhood house where I used to born in there, I accidently forgot about where I temporarily saved both of these while both of them were dismantled from the ceiling (including this one), therefore I lost that one, which means this one was the only one that remained until one of it's own original blades broke off and lost. I had no clue about how come if I accidently lost that particular one, but I also feel sad for not keeping that with me.

2. Extend 700mm

After I purchased both of those Elitesat mini ceiling fans, I also purchased this one. It was also my very first mini ceiling fan that was larger than 500mm, although the color of it was roughly the same (albeit it was brighter). It worked perfectly fine, and it generated averagely the same amount of air delivery as both of those Elitesats were, except it was slightly less. Everything about it was okay until I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my childhood house, right after I used to mount it in the living room of that house first... Due to the intense heat of the kitchen itself, it caused all of it's own blades broke off so easily by itself. So that was basically it, I wasn't even able to glue it's own brittle blades probably due to they simply lost right when they broke per each of them while it was operating, which I also ended up trashing it later on.

3. Meet 500mm

Well, after roughly 5 years since I purchased both of those Elitesats and Extend, I finally purchased my very first mini ceiling fan that wasn't in blue color, which was this one. It did generate fairly good amount of air thanks to slightly steeper blade pitch that it had compared to those of my aforementioned blue mini ceiling fans that I purchased a while before, except for that one hiccupping problem while it was hanging in the living room of that house. This problem literally lasted until one of it's own blades broke off by itself. Due to the weird state of it, there was no way to fix it which I ended up trashing it later on, except for one of it's own blades which I used it on that remaining Elitesat there in those times.

4. Sivicom FC-08-50 (SV-500) 500mm

Not too long after I purchased that Meet, I also purchased this one simply because of how different it looked compared to the average mini ceiling fans that were available on sale in those times. Although this one was cheaper than that Meet, it worked perfectly fine without hiccupping problems, and it generated reasonably good amount of air with it's own original white blades (it's because this was the old version of it, meanwhile for the newer versions have turquoise blades)... During those times in my childhood house, it initially used to mount in the living room of that house. However, after I moved out from that house, it eventually moved into one of the bedrooms (which used to be my bedroom of that house), until I decided to pluck it with me and mount it in the kitchen of my previous house, and then one of the family's relative's replaced it with the Oshaky in that exact room of my childhood house.

During those times in my previous house, it managed to last for approximately 6 years before it stopped working suddenly by itself. Well, after it stopped working specifically like so, I let my dad to take it down, but for some reason he decided to do so by passing it's own motor to the top part of the wood travers of the asbestos roof above that house's back porch, which caused the it's own motor housing got dented severely. Although I was able to salvage it's own original blades, but I was once used it as a horizontal windmill by removing some parts of it's own synchronous motor, except I used Jiamei blades on it. It was all that fun until a random squirrel that came from nowhere accidently dropped it while it was hanging, which caused all of the Jiamei blades that I equipped on it got destroyed to bunch of small mosaic pieces, right when it got impacted to the concrete. Due to the state of it after that exact accident, I ended up trashing the motor itself later on.

5. Bright-G FC-08-50 (BG-500) 500mm

Some of you may recognize this exact Bright-G mini ceiling fan that I purchased specifically back in 2015, which I mounted it in the back porch of my previous house along with my other mini ceiling fans that I used to mount in there. Judging by the classic style of it, it was a new old stock fan according to one of the online fellow fan enthusiasts... As for the fan itself, it worked perfectly fine and generated fairly good amount of air. However, instead of keeping it with me like the rest of my mini ceiling fans that I'm currently own, I decided to give it away for free to my vocational high school in order to install it in the canteen of that school (don't ask me about how come if I did so). However, some of the senior students didn't able to connect it's own cable properly, which they ended up trashing it instead in that location, including about how come if they also destroyed those blades too. 🤦‍♂️

6. Bright-G FD-10-70E 700mm

Believe or not, this one was purchased initially by my dad in order to mount this in his main workplace first until it's own original blades broke off (which for that case, in order to replace one of the Jiamei mini clip fans in there)... After all of it's own blades broke off, he was able to find another nearly identical blade set that perfectly fit of it by simply glued all of them on it. Then, he asked me in order to bring it home from his personal workplace, and I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my previous house in 2021. It worked just alright, except it used to have all of that squeaking and grinding noises while it's operating until I was able to fix it by oiling it's own synchronous motor. Everything about it was okay until the time where I moved out from there in 2023, I had to take it down even with it's own daily beater condition that it particularly had (because my mom always turned it on while she used to cook in there). After I moved out from there, I was once attempted to remove it's own brittle blades out from it (and so for cleaning it), but I ended up breaking them instead due to the difficulty of me tried to do so with all of it's own blades that he glued into it. Due to the horrible state that it specifically had, unfortunately I decided to trash it away.

Before I wrap up this article, here are two random fans that were once existed but then I got rid of each of them later on, except I didn't purchase both of these in the first place (though one of them wasn't even from my collection anyway). So, both of those fans were:

• Unknown black-red oldie 500mm : This one was originally purchased by my cousin back in ~2005 (if I guessed that right), and it used to mount in one of the bedrooms of my childhood house before he and his parents moved into his current house (including this fan by installing it on his bedroom). It lasted for approximately 7 years before it broke off and replaced by that 500mm Shukaku SKU MF-50, however I was once able to pluck it from his current house and use it as a display of my mini ceiling fan collection in my previous house, even if all of it's own red blades were lost already. Due to the fact it was broken since then, I just got rid of it right when I moved out from my previous house.
• Jiamei JM-590 700mm : This one was originally purchased by one of my family's relative's from my mom's side in early of 2016 in order to mount it inside my grandma's bedroom of my childhood house. After she was deceased in 2017, my dad eventually used this fan in his main workplace, in order to replace his HTC industrial ceiling fan with it a year later. It lasted for few years before it stopped working by itself. I was able to salvage it's own blades, but unfortunately he decided to trash the motor itself later on.

Well then, there you have it for those mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection, but then I had to get rid each of them for good due to each of the reasons that I already mentioned above (except for one of them, which it was simply lost). If you have your own good old memories regarding to this particular topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this exact article.

imagine if i would keep my very first 💻...❔

This is rather short article that I made here, but imagine if I'd actually doing so instead of owning my current one that I'm using it nowadays? Well, if you may recognize this in few of my older articles that I made from a while ago, you might recognize that old Acer Aspire 4741Z laptop that I used to own since somewhere in 2009 until roughly 4 years later. That laptop had some error where it always went to BSOD all the time, yet the BSOD itself lasted about few seconds until it automatically restarted again by itself until I forced to turn it off. Although I used to bring it multiple times in the large electronic store where I purchased this back in the day, but in the meantime where I encountered that exact error itself, instead of fixing it due to the condition of the aforementioned laptop itself was okay, I stupidly exchanged it with the 2013 Samsung (which I realized if the Samsung had somewhat lower build quality compared to that aforementioned Acer or other brands [including the one that I'm using right now, which is the Lenovo], TBH).💻

(this screenshot has nothing to do with the 💻 that I'm talking about)

Even though I still recognized that exact time where I exchanged it with that crappy Samsung, but imagine if I would keeping it instead of that particular option that I actually did it back then? Well, the answer of it would be obvious, by upgrading some crucial components inside, specifically for storage, RAM, and processor... First off, for the storage itself, that laptop originally had 320 GB of HDD (if I guessed that right). I'd upgrade it with (at least) 128 GB of SATA SSD for the operating system storage, and I'd also reuse it's own original HDD that came with it by replacing the obsolete DVD-RW drive using the HDD itself by installing the aforementioned hard drive itself on a caddy... Then, for the RAM that came with it, it originally had a single 1 GB of DDR3 RAM stick (if I guessed that right too), I'd upgrade it by purchasing pair of brand new 4 GB of DDR3 RAM sticks... Lastly, for the processor itself, it originally had Intel Pentium P6000 (❔). I had no clue about the replacement processor that would work with the entire laptop itself though... As for the random miscellaneous components like the LCD screen, battery, and CMOS battery, I also had no clue if either one of them would be replaced since last time I used it back in those days, they were all in fairly good condition per each of them (though the original battery itself didn't last for at least an hour though, from what I remembered back in those days).💻

Well then, there you have it for my short story that literally explained about it in general. Even though that laptop may seem obsolete on it's own, but that laptop would also have it's own potential if I would keeping it with all of those upgraded components equipped, unless if my budget would enough for doing so, otherwise that would cost averagely similar to the one that I'm using nowadays... If you have your own thoughts regarding to this exact topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right (if you used to have at least one of them in your own). That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this short article.💻
