    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Ofcourse we need to thoroughly analyze what's being written and why. The point I was trying to make was, FIIs getting a break at common man's expense with no barrier at all.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Well as long as it makes sense logically there is some truth to it. And some truth is always better than none.

    Review Electronicscomp.com not shipping order placed 3 months ago

    NCH only helps when the organization is genuine and cares about its reputation. Most importantly when NCH can extort money from the entity for complaints. For scammers and bad players, it's useless and even encourages them to an extent. Real scammers are also a source of revenue for govt...

    Got hacked via email address reset method

    Man at his point instead of running Malwarebytes, just Nuke the OS. Get any non-executable data out, it's too much risk at this point. @rsaeon is on point regarding the admin account. This is a basic practice used in enterprise deployment. Even the admins avoid (and are asked to) the local...

    "Do you have XYZ Credit Card?" Thread

    Absolutely agree. As I mentioned if Buyer pays in Full and saves some extra cash, it's all good.

    "Do you have XYZ Credit Card?" Thread

    EMI would be a risky bet (for both buyer and seller), assuming no malice, you don't know what would happen in future and you would be on the hook. Moreover you won't be able to make any official complaint either cuz you took the risk and violated the Credit Card terms and conditions. The card...

    Review Electronicscomp.com not shipping order placed 3 months ago

    electronicscom.com has indeed turned into a scam. I have been using it since 2020 and they were solid from 2020-2022. Somewhere around 2023 they started scamming customers. To extend the scam they will always ship your order (or credit the amount in their useless wallet) with missing items but...

    Feedback ON BSNL

    BTW does anyone have any idea about the go-live date for the new voice/SMS-only plans (mandated by TRAI in Dec). It would solve a lot of problems with keeping a secondary SIM.

    How to convince older family members to use Password Manager?

    Honestly, if they just have one or two netbanking passwords let them be. They are adults and they can figure out their needs, every time I have tried to push a QoL/security improvement to their workflow, it has come to bite me in the ass. And forget about elders, try convincing a teenager to use...

    Have r/India always been like this?

    Why would anyone even with two brain cells would think that belittling Trump was the way to defeat him is beyond me. They tried it in 2016, didn't work. Hollywood's virtual signaling never works, didn't work in 2016, and didn't work now. They didn't take him seriously in 2016 and to some extent...

    News META wants to fill it's platform with AI generated bots

    Reddit bots are on a new level these days. The bots will post something completely polarizing even on a cute dog pic to get a reaction out of people. This is unavoidable since every revenue stream for anything free on the internet comes from (likes/engagement/comments/ads) and bots are now part...
