Classes of SD cards

在数码相机和多媒体手机普及化的时代，消费者对记忆卡的容量需求日益剧增。当您选购记忆卡的时候，您是否对于卡上面的Class 2、Class 4、Class 6之类的字眼感到好奇？我来帮大家揭开疑惑吧！

SD Speed Class/UHS Speed Class

Greater Performance Choices

There are two kinds of Speed Class, "Speed Class" and "UHS Speed Class."

As a characteristic of flash memory, actual transfer speed varies. Variable speeds are difficult to reliably record streaming content such as video because it requires a constant writing speed. Speed Class and UHS Speed Class provide the constant speed necessary for video recording by designating a minimum writing performance so that minimum and constant speed is guaranteed for camcorders, video recorders and other devices with video recording capabilities under the conditional write operation specified in the specification.

Speed Class, designated as Class 2, 4, 6 and 10, is designed for normal and high speed bus interface (mode) and UHS Speed Class 1 is designed for UHS-I bus interface*. (Speed Class and the UHS Speed Class are not compatible.)

*UHS (Ultra High Speed), the fastest performance category available today, defines bus-interface speeds up to 104 Megabytes per second for greater device performance in SDXC and SDHC host products.

	Marks	Operable Under...	Applications	SD Memory Card
Speed Class		Normal Bus I/F	SD video recording	SD, miniSD, microSD SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC SDXC, microSDXC
			HD ~ Full HD video recording
		High Speed Bus I/F	Full HD video recording HD still consecutive recording
UHS Speed Class		UHS-I Bus I/F	Full higher potential of recording real-time broadcasts and capturing large-size HD videos	SDHC UHS-Iand SDXC UHS-I

Fragmentation and Speed

The memory of a card is divided into minimum memory units. The host writes data onto memory units where no data is already stored. As available memory becomes divided into smaller units through normal use, this leads to an increase in non-linear, or fragmented storage. The amount of fragmentation can reduce write speeds, so higher SD card speeds help compensate for fragmentation.

The SD Association has specified operating conditions for SDHC, SDXC, SDHC UHS-I and SDXC UHS-I memory cards to guarantee the minimum speed according to the card's speed class. Speed logos are provided to help identify cards that comply with these specifications.

Check your credit card statement regularly

This morning I as usual checked my credit card transaction record. I was shocked when I saw a transaction that my card was charged for an insurance premium and the policy is not mine! I called the insurance company at once to verify the policyowner (luckily the policy number was stated in item description). The Customer Service officer realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly looked for related documents for verification. All of the evidence have proven that the policy did not belong to me, and no documents showed that I endorsed the auto-pay. The insurance company agreed to credit the same amount of money back to my credit card account. I would like to advise all credit card holders to be very careful. Please check transaction record regularly to prevent unauthorized swiping!

今早我如常登入网上银行查看信用卡刷卡记录。我看到我被盗刷了一项保费！我火速致电保险公司查证该保单。客服员了解到这是很严重的问题所以马上展开调查，找来了该保单的所有文件。文件显示该保单的主人不是我，Auto-pay表格上的资料也跟我的卡不吻合。铁证如山，保险公司向我道歉并承诺将汇入相同数额的款项到我的信用卡户头，以抵消该笔刷卡项目。我要借此机会呼吁所有信用卡用户要时时监督刷卡记录，以免遭到盗刷，帮陌生人买单！

有些人死都不用信用卡就是这个原因吧？;p

隔热膜的透光度

天气酷热，嫌冷气不够冷吗？想为爱车弄隔热膜，可是不知JPJ对于隔热膜透光度有什么标准？不用担心，我帮各位问了JPJ。

答复是：Windscreen (大镜) 不少过70%，后镜和侧镜不少过50%。

“不少过”其实就是指“超过”啦。大镜要透光超过70%，我想是要方便大众（尤其是警察）通过最大片的镜子看清楚司机和旁边那位乘客的样子吧！

陆路交通局建议车主在确保该商店的隔热膜符合规格之后才安装，并且向商店索取guarantee letter，以保障车主的法律权利。

安装后，请到临近的JPJ或PUSPAKOM进行镜子透光度检验。万一检验结果显示透光度不符合规格，车主有权利要求该商店把隔热膜拆下并索取退款。

若商店拒绝这么做，车主可以以该guarantee letter为证据，向消费者仲裁庭讨回公道。

How to minimize credit card service tax

Some family members own credit cards from the same bank. Actually, they can sit down and talk. One person must be the principal cardmember, and the rest hold supp cards. The credit card tax can be shared by average.

Each person pays [(50 + 25N) / (N+1)].

I know, some ppl do not want to mess up money matter with others, haha.
