How to fix touchscreen not drag and drop when playing at chess.com live

Hello Everyone!
I just notice today that i cannot do the drag and drop action with my laptop touchscreen when playing live chess game at chess.com. I've looking the net for some solution but failed to find one.

For your information, I was using latest Mozilla Firefox. When using google Chrome, did not encounter this problem.













So, I went to look at Mozilla Firefox configuration, at about:config that will give out this kind of warning:













I went to click "I accept the risk" and searching for touch_event, and my screen looked like this:














I doubled click the key named "dom.w3c_touch_events.legacy_apis.enabled" so the value went from false to true.

When I open a new live game at chess.com, the drag and drop has worked once more.
I hoped this log help anyone.

What to try when (3D Viewer) mixed reality not recognising your laptop built-in camera


Finally, it works :)
Today I try to use 3d viewer and then try to used the 3d model in mixed reality. But the app (mixed reality) always ask me to setup camera first. But another application can use my laptop built in camera normally.
I then search the web, of course, looking for other user with same problem. I found a couple, but no solution could cure my finding.
But, then I try to update the camera driver via windows device manager. It appear that windows find more updated driver and install it. When I open 3D viewer again, tap on mixed reality, it does recognize my camera. May be, you can try that to if you have same problem. Hope this help.

How to use your old CanoScan Lide 20 on Windows 10 64 bit

If you happen to have that old flatbed scanner,  Canoscan Lide 20, and intend to use it with windows 10 64 bit, you might find it difficult to get a working driver.
Well, there is a work around. Use VueScan, a scanning program that will automatically install your CanoScan driver. This software is developed by Hamrick.
It enable me to keep the functionality of my old Canoscan, which is no longer supported by Canon. You can program the Button on the scanner to meet your preference.
This software is stright forward, easy to understand user interface. It allow you to adjust various setting, it saves to pdf and tiff.
But the price is not cheap. More than a half price of the Scanner it self. I hope someone find this post useful. Thank you

Playing Throne Rush on Your Advent Vega

This week throne rush has make me addicted. This war game is really has effect on my time management, I must warn you before you decide to play. Hehehe. The game play is like Stronghold or Warcraft or Battle realm or even the great Civilization. You start the game with a ruined castle along with minimal support for a village. How have to make your way to gain enough support to build an army. Buliding minery, windmill, barn and barrack. When you finally has your army. Try attacking real player to get morale, gems, and even ruines on some occasion. There is also a rarity fair which I think a genius addition to the game play, make it even more addictive to me.

Upgrade Your LG L5 E612 to Android JellyBean 4.1.2

I seldom use the phone software checker (Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update) to see if any firmware update are available from the server. I never thought there would be a major update for this phone. I realized about this update from web news I accidentally  read.
It says that LG L5 got a major firmware update from Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) to Jelly Bean (4.1.2).

If you want to do this upgrade, prepare the following:
1. LG PC Suite for LG L5 (just google it), update it to the latest version
2. A computer, USB data cable.

then do as follow:
1. Connect your LG L5 E612 phone to your PC/Laptop via USB.
2. if this is the first time you connect your phone, the phone will let you choose USB mode for this connection, choose PC suite mode. Also the PC may install the driver for the phone, it may take a few minutes, or restart the PC/Laptop once.

3. Lauch the PC suite, confirm that the phone is recognized by the suite, select menu, [Mobile Device]-> [Mobile Device software update], it will check the server for update. The jelly bean firmware will be named by V20E_00.kdz. Choose to download the upgrades (it's a big about 700MB file).
4. Do not disconnect you LG during the upgrades. Wait for the download to finish, LG PC suite will change your phone mode to download mode and upload the upgrades to your phone.
5. Once finish uploading, the phone will restart, optimizing application already installed and ...
you have android jelly bean on your phone.
You can now install google now, and say OK google to start search :)
