    Guide Buying something from this forum for the first time — need tips to stay safe

    If this is the first time you're buying something on this forum, people might not agree to ship without full payment. But you can always try asking. Live video call might be good, if the seller is ok with it. Delhivery is cheap and has great coverage for many far flung areas, but level of...

    Logistics when renting a camera

    haha, what a timely question, I just received the item today for my upcoming trip. I got it from https://www.tapprs.com/ -- which delivers to Bangalore only. What I learned is that there are many local shops in most cities, you can look them up on Google Maps, call them, and visit their shops...

    DIY Idea: PC Status monitor using optical fiber

    I have a problem: I don't like RGB, so I turned off all the RGB in my CPU Case (and also because Armory Crate is a PoS, and I don't want to install Signal RGB). Now, I also have an unreliable power button on my CPU Case. So when I press the button, it is hard to see if the computer actually...

    Logistics when renting a camera

    Thank you! I did not think about the strap, I will keep that in mind. We both have high end phones (Pixel, Samsung), so I felt that going for a cheap rental DSLR will not give us the extra oomph over what the phones already produced, that's why thinking of going for the more expensive option...

    If you like side-printed keycaps, consider this one https://meckeys.com/shop/keyboard/75-keyboard/aula-f75-wireless/ (choose the Black side-printed option... it seems to be shine-through keycaps. Note the top-printed keycap options are not shine-through, which means you will see the backlight on...

    21-30k Should my cousin get a tablet for note-taking in college?

    Don't discount just using pen and paper. I think sometimes we get stuck on using technology, but for many use-cases, the act of writing it down is more important than the medium in which you are writing.
