    Activating Windows on a refurbished PC

    If used in office, stick to Windows Pro as that is what you are licensed for. LTSC variants are meant for specific tasks devices only. Not general purpose work etc. Plus there is always risk when getting stuff from 3rd party sites. Just upgrade the HDD to an SSD - this will be more than...

    Seagate Backup Plus External Not Getting Detected - Help!

    Freezing method did not work, so that a no go. Another method is to disable automount on Windows, connect the HDD and try a recovery software like R-Studio for data recovery.

    Inexpensive router with guest network

    I was surprised by how the discussion was veering off into the stratosphere. If this has remote access then even better. I have been so much into the commercial market that I hardly have looked into the consumer market. Using Decos here at my house and clients. I doubt for guest network its...

    Setup TP-Link Deco M4 Mesh without LAN cables?

    Yeah, I have seen such guys, who dont know what they are doing. At my ex company, they deleted the Deco network and tried to blame someone else for it. Modem to Deco, deco runs as router and remove dlink.

    Inexpensive router with guest network

    Get a TP Link Deco used - some are selling cheap, setup as a access point and enable the guest network. It will do the job and you can manage it remotely using the Deco app. I would suggest to take the E4 - these are limited to 100mbps, but will be easily fitting your budget. If you can get M4...

    Activating Windows on a refurbished PC

    Thats because Tiny10 is mostly based on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. The key that is in your bios is for Windows Pro only. Hence the mismatch Either format and reinstall Windows 10, it will works without needing any key OR if you want to continue using Tiny10, use the MAS scripts from...

    This is a whole other chapter. Many are brainwashed by the propaganda and supporting one side blindly without realizing similar tactics are employed in business as well. Yep! Yeah. Even though I wasnt born, my uncle was in a company which did import and boy how this was in terms of...

    Not true for all. As I said, these are business decisions done by the company which wants to sell in India. Moving tooling or setting up a new tooling is not something that can be done just because they can save some money. Most of these are amortized by the local contract manufacturer for...

    PC Peripherals Directional Wi-Fi antennas (DIY or otherwise)

    You can try, but mesh is truly enjoyable. Had the same issue as yours, corner of the house router, horrible wifi. Moved to mesh.

    People who have not worked in the manufacturing sector will also continue to post like yours. MII is not bad, its being badly implemented and checks and balances are needed to sort things. Which I think are also being done, the PLI scheme recieved an overhaul in 2023 which will also link quality...

    Use TP-Link XC220-G3v for Timbl instead of TurboFi after MAC Clone

    @kuduku As I told you earlier, your issue is either the cloning is imperfect due to device problem OR the ISP is doing some additional checks. Until you know what that is, none of this will work. My guess is the latter. Your ISP is blocking TCP traffic but allowing ICMP on the TPLink and the...

    Thats because for the initial run, no company will jump the gun and make everything from scratch. There were plans to make the items in India eventually, same as they are doing for the Jio Phone - my ex company makes the body for the same in Hosur. Thats called protectionism Well, it...
