    Definitely should watch it in Imax. The first few minutes and last 20 minutes the sound effect of war zone was an absolute stunner. This movie is very raw. Gives you a real perspective of civil war. The violence is unimaginable in this movie. In the end nobody needs a war and no one wins a war...

    How to boost mobile reception inside house

    An update on this issue - Strangely when I started using an old Samsung S21 and another iPhone 11, the call drop issue disappeared. The same problem appears when using Xiaomi, Realme and Motorola phones.

    The Gentlemen - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13210838/ - 8/10 Witty, dark humor and liked the dialog which was sharp and to the point. Daniel Ings who plays as Freddy and brother to the Duke is brilliant. The story is not fool proof but keeps you interested for the next episode. Guy Ritchie...

    Camera Found an old Sony Cybershot DSC-W5 in cupboard, need help for testing it.

    Just remembered and brought back old memories. These still take excellent pictures but never used it and I think I had kept it for nostalgia. The battery is Lithium ion. BTW don't use Duracell instead use energizer. Duracell has a bad reputation of leaking.

    Inverter & Power consumption

    I called up the Microtek inverter service technician and as per him the transformer in the inverter degrades over a period of time and might pull up more power. He wanted me to buy a new inverter with an exchange offer but I am not sure if what he said is true or he was trying to make me buy a...

    Inverter & Power consumption

    Let me check that. I have it connected with couple led lights, 3 fans, desktop and few wifi routers. It is fairly accurate. I had earlier checked this with an inverter ac, 1800Watt water heater, a non inverter ac, refiregirator etc... However I am thinking of buying a meco now to double check.

    Inverter & Power consumption

    It is 325W constantly. So in case I want to change the inverter, is there any inverter that saves energy like consumer gadgets which has star ratings for energy efficiency.

    Inverter & Power consumption

    I have a Microtek 1100VA inverter connected to a Exide Invared 500+ 150Ah battery. As I noted for the past couple of months the power consumption from this unit is around 7 units per day and roughly around 200 plus units per month. This is when the inverter is in standby mode and not charging...

    How to clean the inside of a washing machine and keep it that way

    Not done descaling before. Do I need to add the citric acid directly in the drum or in the powder compartment? Yes, it is well water and use it for drinking as well through RO. There is no scaling on the tiles or pots. However, during recent washes, I could see white sediments on dark colored...
