    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    We're in 2025, lol... What's the need for threads to devolve into theoretical arguments always? OP asked for suggestions. If he were using Autodesk, Adobe, or Final Cut, he would have mentioned it. He specifically said regular office work. 256 GB is sufficient for office laptops, usually you...

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    The reason they're called small caps is because their market capitalization ranks them outside of top 250 in the country. That's pretty much it. Being small cap doesn't say anything about debt ratios.

    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    I did myself recommend 8GB Air above, but I'd like to reiterate that 8 GB is not "more than" enough. It's just barely enough and you can make do for the next couple of years.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    That's true for individual stocks, not the market as a whole. The markets will recover, be it small cap or large cap. If something so serious happens that small caps as a whole never recover, then large caps aren't recovering either

    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    Not tech advice, but you need to invert this approach. You shouldn't think "I'll quit gaming and use the time for something productive". Instead, think "I'll spend my time preparing for Gmat and will reduce gaming time" or "I'll spend more time working on my open source projects and reduce...

    15-20K Reliable phone with good build quality for Dad.

    I have a Moto G84. Using it for a year and would definitely recommend it. Well, 84 is not available anymore, so G85. Coming from Pixel 4a, my experience has been fantastic. Almost no software bugs, battery life is great, and the build quality is solid. As an added bonus, the phone is lighter...

    Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac – Need Your Advice!

    If your work mainly involves web browsers and office software like MS Office, you should be fine with 8GB RAM. I have used an 8GB Mac Mini and browsing, coding, Excel etc. were all perfectly smooth. Never faced any stutter. Will it improve your productivity? Probably not. Unless your current...

    News State .gov.in related domains redirect to a gambling website.

    Working fine for me. Either there's malware on OP's device, or these sites were hacked en mass and the situation has been resolved now.

    Binocular recommendations around 7k

    Hi friends. Over the last year or so, I've visited a couple of national parks. Every time I visit, I feel like I'm missing out on a lot because the birds and animals are all far away. So I thought of buying binoculars for my next visit. Hope someone will be able to help me decide. Purpose...

    FS: Headphone AKG K92 Headphone and ATH M50X stock earpad

    https://www.amazon.in/dp/B00MFDT894 Pretty large and very comfortable. Pressure is bit high as the headphones are designed for thinner earpads, but it doesn't bother me much. I've used them for upto 3 hours at a stretch and no issues at all. Feedback exchanged, thread can be closed.
