@nRiTeCh check if your phone WiFi settings has a certain "privacy feature" where it randomizes it's MAC everytime it joins a network. Mine had it enabled out of the box, which freaked me out and thought I was under attack in spite of having a long random password + SSID broadcast disabled. If...

Adding to this, Noctua provides new mounting hardware for your future platform changes, so you don't need to buy a whole new cooler every few years.

I just texted a US number from my Airtel prepaid and it went through. Got charged 5 bucks. Guess I'd activated international outgoing at some point

Check if international calling is enabled on your number, they might be blocking SMS as well. International plans will give you discounted rates, but shouldn't be a requirement as such

Got the latest from the Store. Not as good as it was before, but still way better than the ridiculous POS that Gboard is. Retards at Google think everyone in India wants to type in Hinglish In fact I've kept Gboard only to easily insert GIFS/emojis:

Bumble bee Three!

What are my options for a non cloud, LAN only controlled wifi switch? I've played around with ESP32/8266 based projects on breadboard, but a commercial package in a small form factor that I could reprogram is enticing

Grey market = without bill = 18% less than MRP + no warranty Contact your local shops for more info PS: I'm not encouraging buying from grey market; I'm saying it's stupid to buy some stuff refurbished from Az with no manufacturer warranty

For a little more, there's tripods with ball heads, where one of the legs is detachable to work as a monopod. You get the best of both worlds

How? For physical damage you still need to record unboxing, which takes away the fun/excitement

So, to summarize: physical stores are not only cheaper, but you can be sure of getting a working product without having to run to a brand's service centre/make unboxing videos/fight with customer care. How the turn tables have...

You just need high pressure air to blow away dust particles, which all your options provide. Where the air comes from is irrelevant. Electric options are better for the environment than single use cans. You won't remove 100% of the dust, but that's totally fine. Physically touching components...

That's like my total home consumption o_O I think your testing methodology is wrong

With HDD, the data has to be physically moved to create free space at the beginning of the disk. Like on a book shelf you have to move all the books to the right, if you want to create space on the left. With SSD, the physical area where the data is actually stored is irrelevant, only the...
