    2002 Toyota Corolla Sagging Headliner Repair Tutorial

    By Chongchen Saelee

    It’s inevitable that your car will go through some wear and tear and one hazard is when the fabric on the car’s headliner eventually falls off and sags. If this fabric fell off during driving, it would block your vision! So you need to repair this as soon as possible.

    I’ve had the headliner of my 2002 Toyota Corolla replaced by a carshop and have done so myself for the past 3 to 4 times now with reminders from YouTube videos. Works like a charm. Each repair lasts for a year or two.

    You don’t have to disassemble everything like in some YouTube videos. I may have disassembled too many parts as of this tutorial’s writing, so I’ll correct or not add those steps in this tutorial. I’ll just tell you the necessary steps you need to do everything and in the least amount of time. Especially because most people won’t have all the tools and replacement parts on hand, so it will take much longer than absolutely needed to complete this repair. (more…)

  • Math You Might Find Useful For Daily Problem Solving

    Order of operations

    Parenthesis, Exponents/Power, Multiplication, Division/Modulus, Addition, Subtraction

    Notation example
    (a2 * b) + c – d
    1. a2
    2. * b
    3. + c
    4. – d

    Proportions

    a / A = x / X

    a b
    — = —
    A B

    You’re trying to solve x. You have to cross-multiply. Be mindful of order of operations.

    x * A = a * X
x = a * X / A

    Because I’m so nice, I coded up a very basic proportions calculator for you. Give it a try now!

  • WordPress 5.8 Adds WEBP Image Format Support

    Testing it out. Not a fan of it. It works, but only because I’m previewing it in Chrome. However, it’s slow to load maybe because it’s doing some additional Javascripting to make it work. So unless there is native support, I wouldn’t recommend using WEBP images just yet.

  • How To View HTML Source Without Loading The Actual HTML

    In Chrome and Firefox, you can view a web page’s source code directly by typing into the URL bar:

    view-source:[webpage address goes here]

    for example:
    view-source:http://www.example.com

    And that will load the source code without actually loading the HTML. This is useful if you don’t want any popups or malicious code to execute, or you’re debugging a webpage.

  • How To Fix Windows 10 Icons Not Updating

    How To Fix Windows 10 Icons Not Updating
    By Chongchen Saelee

    I found a link to instructions that actually works for Windows 10 icons not updating. Prior to Windows 10, the icons were stored in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db and all you had to do was delete that file and kill explorer.exe and start it again. At least, that seemed to work perfectly in Windows 7.

    In Windows 10, you’re lucky if it updates the icons completely. You can follow the same steps, and it might work partially, but you’ll notice some icon sizes not updating. It’s associated to the filename and folder, so it’s cached somewhere else!

    Well, indeed, Windows 10 stores multiple databases for all different icon sizes now, and in a whole different folder %homepath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer. So you’re gonna have to delete all of those database cache files in order to properly update your Windows 10 icons!

    This article gives you the details on how to do it properly:

    Hope this helps anyone from pulling their hair out.

  • Using Now Patent-Free MP3 Audio Format For Your Indie Games

    Originally published on December 12, 2020

    I’m super late posting this, as the news happened THREE YEARS AGO and the media didn’t spread the word. Anyway, as of 2017, the MP3 audio format is now patent-free. It doesn’t mean that you can now pirate all the commercial songs you want. What it actually means is now that the audio format is patent-free, you can implement an MP3 encoder/decoder into your game engine! That’s sweet! (more…)

  • Solution: Laptop audio/video is slow, crackling, out of sync

    Solution: Laptop audio/video is slow, crackling, out of sync
    By Chongchen Saelee

    If your laptop seemingly is slowing down in performance, you hear audio crackling, your video is sluggish and not synced with the audio, then make sure your laptop battery is in good condition. Odds are, your laptop is literally in its last breath of life, like literally only 10% health. Replace it with a brand new fully recharged laptop battery and see if this solves your problem! You’ll know your old battery is about to die if it is physically bloated. So time to throw it out and replace it. Hope that helps!
