Which laptop, what OS? It varies. There was a bug with some laptops and some versions of Windows 10 & 11 that drained the battery completely either overnight or over the course of a week. A few tech channels covered it: This is called battery calibration and ideally it should be done once a...

Placed order on 23rd February, recieved it today on April 21st. I had emailed them on the 4th of April, asking for an update. They replied in a few hours saying there's been customs clearance delays. Delivery was done by Delhivery, it was sent out two days ago. When you're placing an order...

As everything IOT races to the bottom, that looks like a steep price considering the components. A 2 channel module from Tinxy is 850 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.in/Tinxy-Smart-Switch-Compatible-Google/dp/B08QF5WVN2/ And there's information on how to flash Tasmota/ESPHome on their forums...

Is this a forum member? If this person does not have a reseller badge on the forum, walk away from the deal.

No, it'll be fine. The adapter is rated for 2 amps. I've used others like it to power low power PCs, they're mature but low cost designs.

Do follow up with how it goes and share photos.

If by exactly you mean inside of a network/server rack then you should have access to either a USB port or a power socket to where you can plug in a USB charger. In that case, you could make or buy one of these: https://www.amazon.in/CRJ-Voltage-Step-Up-Sleeved-Adapter/dp/B07QFG6LFR If it's...

Probably because this is the reality of ordering online, refunds take time. The razorpay link above explains why refunds aren't instantaneous. Never mind that we spend a significant part of the year with the banks closed due to some festival or the other. Same day refunds are done out of pocket...

I recently had to wait for a refund from a smaller seller that has nowhere near the order volume of PrimeABGB, it took nearly a week with twice daily reminders on WhatsApp. The delay appeared to be because of the payment processor requiring multiple steps that are spread hours/days apart before...

thanks for the quick shipping!

Yes, my last shipment with Stackry was in 2021. I've preferred to seek out sellers in this part of the world. I've had 20+ shipments in the last three years from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia through the post office with no customs, so I've gravitated to finding what I need from those...

I've mainly used Amazon, Newegg, eBay, Walmart and KEH with both MyUS and Stackry. I prefer Amazon because I mainly buy used items and Amazon sellers that sell used items usually undervalue what they have since they're trying to win at a numbers game with other competing sellers on Amazon. For...

Sharing a couple more of my older builds from my makerbeam era, haha. They were built to be used as bedside table lamps, one was a seedbox and the other was a streaming box. After years of being an Intel snob, I had switched over to building purely AMD-based systems, so these small builds...
