    Minimum recharge for jio prepaid to keep the number alive

    Yes, I activated the same number. Only if the number is not assigned to someone else, you can get it. From what I heard, this is a common issue wherein people took a Jio number because it was free and then registered it for some service but never made it their primary number so there did not...

    Minimum recharge for jio prepaid to keep the number alive

    I too have a Jio number that I did not recharge since 2 years and it was obviously deactivated. This a new jhoomla of motabhai's company. Anyway, I just reached their service center, submitted my adhaar number to which the number was registered and a week later, my number is active. I am fed up...

    PC Peripherals HDMI to VGA Cable

    I have an old monitor that I don't want to discard right away. The issue is it only has a DVI-D and VGA ports. I can use a HDMI to DVI-D cable and use the former but the latter seems wasted. I have been looking for a HDMI to VGA cable, not a converter, that can solve my woes. So far, I have come...

    2 Cables or 1 Cable With A Switch

    My current card is a Realtek RTL8821CE and upgrading the card is not an option for me. This card has a single antenna cable unlike an Intel card so, I might get WiFi by swapping this, I will need to rely on a Bluetooth adapter to connect any devices. I would rather deal with inferior speeds than...

    2 Cables or 1 Cable With A Switch

    This comment got me thinking while I have set up RE540 in Access Point mode, I was wondering why I saw a drop of 100 MBPS in my speed on WiFi. I ran a speed test on my work laptop and surprisingly, the results were on par with the wired connection. To make sure it wasn't a fluke, I ran tests on...

    2 Cables or 1 Cable With A Switch

    My internet speed is 300 MBPS. My router is TP Link Archer C9 and the access point is TP-Link RE450 which I've connected with a cord. To ensure no downsides, I used the wire as crimped from the manufacturer. On 5Ghz, I get 180 MBPS on the Access Point which is just 10% lower than the router...

    2 Cables or 1 Cable With A Switch

    i was looking forward to a build showcase with this case. I feel one should make holes in the front plate and also use a SFX psu with front intake fans.

    SFF On A Tight Budget

    If I could rely only on NVME SSD, modular PSU and a PCI express powered card, I my cleaning woes will reduce substantially but it really isn't worth the cost.

    Graphic Cards GPU pricing trends

    Diverging to a bit of different query here, but will a fully functional GTX 460 have buyers as well? Not trying to make a quick buck in any way but I think this GPU can be put to a better use by someone.

    SFF On A Tight Budget

    Every time I look at the internals of the system, I wonder about the day I need to take the whole thing apart for just dusting. About Rs. 3000

    Graphic Cards GPU pricing trends

    What's with the MRP of Rs. 65,000 which translates to $900. Where did IT Depot find a 3050 for that price? I disagree with some of the posters above assuming this is the new normal. It cannot be the case as the people who buy a GPU are not 30+ old folks with full time jobs and 40k to 60k of...

    Usb/bt speaker for zoom/ teams calls

    I was going to recommend a solution on the lines of Bose Soundwear Companion. When I used it, the audio felt like coming off a small speaker on my shoulders and it lacked the clarity of over-the-ear headphones. In your context, such a speaker is a good solution over the Jabra 510 however I have...

    FS: Processor Intel Core i5 2500

    It is a 2500. Back in the day, the 2500K was more popular and in demand which this was a relative niche version thus processor was listed as under the same SKU as the 2500K. In the invoice, to separate it, the guys at Prime mentioned the version as 2500 which was essentially a quick fix.
