    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    Thanks for the replies. I got the mouse a few minutes back. I like it's size and in hand feel. I prefer it's shape to the MX518's. But I prefer the way the MX518 buttons clicked. About the rechargeable battery, I'll just have to wait and see now. Hopefully it'll work with the rechargeable...

    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    How long do the batteries last? Is it easy to get the cover off to change them?

    Want a wireless mouse for about Rs.2000

    I've been using a Logitech MX518 for about 15 years now, and it still works well (till a few weeks back) and looks great. But, I think it might finally be beginning to die off. It stops working sometimes, and I need to unplug and plug it in to get it working again. It's also giving scrolling...

    Great write up. I'm using Calyx OS on my Mi A2. I really want a KDE Plasma phone, but it looks like that project is dead. Debian on all my machines. Firefox with ublock as my browser on all devices. Along with multi-account containers so that my tabs can't spy on each other. Got a Raspberry...

    5600x running at 96C

    Post some pictures of your computer. It looks like your airflow is restricted causing the high temps. 60 degrees plus at idle is very high. How have you installed your cabinet fans? How many are pulling air in, and how many are pushing air out? Who installed your cooler? How much, and which...

    5600x running at 96C

    Your CPU is designed to keep boosting it's clock speeds till it hits it's max temperature, ie ~ 95 degrees. So, it is running within spec. I've got a 5500GT and that used to run at max clocks, and max speeds till it touched 95, but that was with the stock cooler, but then it would throttle a...

    Anyone from Kashmir or Assam, need help in sourcing Chili Seeds.

    If you're used to Bhut Jalokai you grow immune to it's spiciness over time. My wife's from Nagaland, and we used to have it with practically all our food for years (as a chutney/salsa). Then, one day we ran out of the chili - during covid, I think, and our taste buds reset. 6 -12 months later...

    Rusting inside microwave cavity

    Same thing happened to my microwave after about 5 years. We then used a microwave lid - https://www.ikea.com/in/en/p/prickig-microwave-lid-grey-50186091/ - to prevent any debris from falling onto food. We used it for 2-3 more years without any issue - don't know about the long term health...

    The book I am reading currently

    I loved the Mistborn series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I just finished "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's really good. I picked it up because I'd just read "Klara and the Sun", also by Ishiguro. That is the best book I've read in a long time. A haunting, sad, sci-fi...
