    0-20k Looking for an alternate to the Logitech MX518

    Was the MX 518 a claw grip mouse? I recall it being too big for my hands. I personally find the g102 size perfect There was a recent g MX 518 reissue. I bought two of them on clearance from the US for two of my friends. Check if you can get one of those

    0-20k Is buying a refurbished thinkpad T495 a good idea?

    then get from someone like aasim. the only other seller i have bought from online is oldlappy - still wouldn't vouch for them as it was a long time ago and dont know them otherwise. Even if you buy from a reputed seller - given you are new to this, you will need servicing at some point, and...

    15-20K Need phone under 20K, regular to heavy usage.

    all good phones - I would say try to get a phone with a gen 2 chip - 4nm process = better battery life on the other hand https://techenclave.com/threads/poco-x5-pro-5g-8-256-horizon-blue.220895/#post-2536247 Personally I was not satisfied with an X4 pro which had a SD695. I eventually got a...

    Laptops HP 14s i3 11th gen Laptop compatible RAM

    Hp 14s are from their budget line and have very heavy cost cutting. I bought extra ram to upgrade my dad in law's 14s laptop when I found there were no ram slots soldered onto the board :D do check before spending your money

    sorry not much idea about delhi - I wouldnt rely too much on reputation - Different sellers have different inventory. I go with whoever has the best stuff at the best prices. Visit them in person, check out the merchandise, verify the spec - pay a bit extra for upgrades if they offer (RAM, SSD...

    If you live in a decently big city, check your local classifieds. Your local sellers may have better options

    Best IEM under 10k for fun bass listening

    I would say what you say about peq is an ios ecosystem problem . Wavelet Works just fine in the Androids I've tried and a wide variety of DACs

    0-20k 10k build for light gaming (older games) and productivity (web design), does not have to be completely new.

    I was agonizing over a low end cpu build, but finally bit the bullet and got myself a ryzen tiny pc from aasim's refurbco. Pretty solid low-mid range config (3400g, 16gb,512gb+ 2tb) for 20k. Was much cheaper than any budget build would be. If he's looking for a desktop, a tiny pc is not a bad idea

    0-10K Budget Phone less than 10k for gaming use

    don't be fooled by dimensity specs. They're paper tigers, and generally cannot handle sustained advertised performance - they tend to cheat on their performance benchmarks and in real life dont take up heavy use well - you'll hear a lot of stories about lagging, overheating, crashes etc.

    0-20k 10k build for light gaming (older games) and productivity (web design), does not have to be completely new.

    My Suggestion, get a used laptop from a refurb seller - should happen easily within 10K. I got a decent laptop for 15K for a relative who was on a budget, still doing fine. Much more usable given the crappy electricity supply etc that you get in remote areas. if you feel an i7 7700K feels a bit...

    Car & Bike Renewal of registration of 15 year old car

    1. Usually yes, unless there is some state policy in effect 2. I recall aadhar and DL copy, old RC, Insurance policy, and I had to share some OTP with my agent 6. Fitness test is very strict - Consult with your agent. With the right agent, things can be a lot simpler ;)

    Laptops Do laptops not come with LAN port anymore?

    Video over usb c is a minefield. There is no standard. There is display port and hdmi based standards. Most generic docks will not work. Best to get a dock guaranteed by the laptop manufacturer as compatible

    Best IEM under 10k for fun bass listening

    Thank you for trying out peq. The simplest solution is to go to the auto eq tab and search for your iem there. Most kz etc are there. If not search for your headphone + peq configuration. You'll get pdf with values for these configuration items which you can plug in. Trying to do this manually...

    The Ill-Advised 1kWh LiFePO4 1U Rack Mount Battery 3S1P 105Ah

    Can you simply measure low resistance values just by hooking up a set of leads? Looking at a bridge circuit itself gave me a headache so i just gave up ( i wanted to measure iem cable impedances)

    WTB USB 5.25 optical drive

    I need an optical drive for my htpc, but hard to find any modern slim cases with a full size drive bay and slot. I have a couple of laptop style drives but it's very fiddly to change discs. So looking for a full size tray loading usb drive. These are probably antiques by now. Even if it's a cd...

    Best IEM under 10k for fun bass listening

    Have you tried peq /autoeq on the qudelix? A better dac is not going to help bass. You need high output power and low impedance. Try to get an e1da 9038. Bass demands power. If drain is a concern for you, and you don't want to carry a separate battery powered dac i would say just give up...

    Best IEM under 10k for fun bass listening

    Have you tried peq? You have a qudelix 5k so should be fairly easy. Eqing down to the harman curve usually improves things. In my opinion, that's the more effective option that trying a bunch of more flavour of the month kz's. In my opinion the sony mdr xb55 is the definitive budget bass cannon

    0-10K Smartphone for a senior citizen's regular use

    I would say cough up for the 256 g version. Have you seen the amount of junk senior citizens forward on WhatsApp. One on the things I hate the most is cleaning up whatsapp junk, and having more space means i don't need to do it as often
