    90K+ Planning my first PC - Budget 1.5L

    Ideally at 4k. I only play single player games, would like to try out cyberpunk and upcoming titles like the alters which look a bit graphically intensive. I also dabble a bit in paradox games, mostly CK3 and Victoria 3. (I'm wondering whether I should get a beefier CPU for these, maybe...

    90K+ Planning my first PC - Budget 1.5L

    Not in the near future, but when I upgrade in like 5 years, I would have to get a new PSU right? I'm ok with spending money now if it lets me save long-term. Do let me know if it's smarter to get a smaller PSU now though, I might be missing something.

    PC Peripherals Most Silent 80-100% Mechanical KB with volume Knob

    I've been using an RK N80 for a few months now. I like the sound, it's quiet but not silent. It is low profile though, might not suit everyone but perfect for me. Also has a little screen in the volume knob which is handy sometimes.

    90K+ Planning my first PC - Budget 1.5L

    I am thinking of waiting for the lancool 217 instead. If anyone has better cabinet suggestions, please share. Bonus points if it looks cool.

    31-40k Looking for an upgrade from i7 4790

    I would add for an extra 1k, you can get an AG620 cpu cooler, which is a dual tower cooler. Should run quieter, and they last forever so it should stay with you through quite a few upgrades.

    No backup found on this account issue in whatsapp

    This happened to me when I reset my phone. Tried whatever I could for a week, had to give up eventually. Hope you find a solution where I could not.

    Review Flac vs Premium streaming services (Alac, Spotify etc)

    I'm not really an audiophile, but I've saved this website in bookmarks to bring up whenever my friends start talking about how they only use 32 bit flacs, might be interesting to you guys. https://secure.aes.org/forum/pubs/journal/?ID=2

    News Tesla Recalls Nearly All Cybertrucks Over Stainless Steel Panels Falling Off

    It's interesting how there's so much noise online over this car when they've sold less than 50k units.

    Hearts of stone is amazing. The best dlc I've ever bought for any game, even including blood and wine.

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    Anyone here finished the outer wilds? I've tried to start up the game like 3 times now. I haven't been able to play more than an hour through it for some reason. Maybe it's how aimless I feel at the beginning, is there some point where it clicks?

    News Y Combinator deletes posts after a startup’s AI-camera worker efficiency demo faces backlash

    I've seen the exact opposite in play, a factory in India where workers were proud of what they did and matched global quality standards. The price of finding such workers is a good union, so the workers actually feel like they're partners in the whole venture and not just being exploited. Of...

    Which generative AI tool have you used the most and how?

    I had a chance to try paid chatgpt at work, the really expensive one with the o1 pro model. It was scary good, especially with deep research toggled on. It does take about 15 minutes to answer your query, but that's fine for the deep research use case, where I'm trying to automate hours of...
