Singapore Ubuntu Mirror Always Failed on Weekend

I'm not sure everyone facing this issue or not. When I update or install something on my Ubuntu 14.04 server, it always uses "sg.archive.ubuntu.com" Singapore mirror and it's working during weekdays and failed on weekend Sat and Sun. So I make changes on the apt repository.

$sudo vim /etc/apt/source.list

comment out  # deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/xxxx

and add  deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/xxx

then run the command apt-get update then solve the issue.

Fixing Acer Aspire Z3-605 All-in-one speaker buzzing noise - Part 1

 My Acer Aspire Z3-605 AIO PC speaker has buzzing noise. So I decided to replace the speaker. Unscrew 8 screw from the back side. Total 8 screw at back side Pry up starting from below silver color area. Take out speaker You can see the vibrating membrane or sound film has melted. I search in ebay and the price is about USD $19. So I decided to open and see whether I can just replace the speaker only.  The size of the speaker is 24mm diameter and 10mm thickness. I don't see any label or model no on the back side. I search in google about the wattage of the speaker found it's 3 watts. Then I measured with multimeter and it's 4 ohm. So I searched in China site and found the speaker about SGD $2.  So I just purchased 2 pieces and approximately 2 weeks time to reach to Singapore.  To be continued
