    Audiophile and gears

    Also, I doubt anyone in China is making fakes of Blons because they themselves are quite cheap and also not much in demand (in the normal world, not audiophile world).

    Android Touch repsonse stopped working

    Since you got the screen replaced just 2 months back from service centre, it should still be in warranty. You will have to ask them to show you that it is a mobo issue and not a screen issue, by connecting a new screen first.

    Flipkart deals

    If it shows 'Currently unavailable /undeliverable' for most pincodes in India then it simply means that the product is just out of stock. This seems to be the new way of saying 'Out of Stock' and even Amazon shows the same for such products.

    Slimmer Replacement to Wallets?

    I find the major issue with carrying a wallet, is that we don't empty it from time to time. I make it a point to keep removing the junk from my wallet once every month. Also, I prefer not putting my wallet in my back pants pocket unless there is no other option. I keep it in my car, my backpack...

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    For the exact same diabetes medicine that my Mom takes - Gluconorm G2 - there are around 20 manufacturers. The one we buy (as recommended by doctor) is the second most expensive option at 16 bucks a tablet. Options are available at nearly 1/3rd the price as well. But not everyone produces the...

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    Older people have nothing to worry about their medical history getting shared. They will mostly not get medical insurance anyways or already get charged an exorbitant amount for it. My mother's diabetes medicines cost around Rs. 28k per year. Currently getting 25-30% discount online compared to...

    Need wifi routers to cover a 8000sq foot hospital

    What are your bandwidth requirements? If it's only for using internet, most router/mesh setups will be good enough provided they cover the area well. The best option will be to have a wired backhaul between the mesh routers. You can also look at commercial options from Ubiquiti and yes, some...

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    My Mom used to take 1 medicine for her Diabetes which used to have 3 salts. In 2018/19, I think, govt banned medicines which had those 3 salts together. Now, we had to buy 2 separate medicines to get those 3 salts and the cost for us increased nearly 2.5 times. Over the last 2-3 years, prices...

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    All these movie people go and quote carbon footprints for agriculture. Agriculture, whether it is animal agriculture or plant agriculture is most important because we won't be alive without it. If these guys are really so concerned about our planet, then they should first stop with the wasteful...

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    Not much difference nutrition wise. I mean all cooking oils including Ghee are 99% fat. So I don't understand what people mean when they ask for nutritional value. For sources of vitamins, minerals, etc, you should look someplace else than the oil/ghee medium you are cooking with.

    Electronics Spare Parts in India - Repair Mafia?

    I've bought stuff from sellers on Indiamart. Sometimes, in person and sometimes online. A lot depends on what you are buying and who you are buying from. Many wholesalers don't want to deal with small orders, but some do. Just this week, I went to Delhi to procure some pipe fittings from a few...

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    Pasteurization is a good enough process as it has been for a long time. Here, in North India, we go even ahead, and, at least in my household, milk has always been boiled. This is what I've seen in most households. There is an even higher process, known as UHT, which is what happens with...

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    No, if you can find a good source of milk that you can trust, then of course, that would be better than the milk packets. I was talking especially about Ghee, because both Milk and Ghee can be adulterated in different ways. With the huge amounts of milk being mixed together, those adulterants...

    Non Tech/ General hot deals thread

    Almost, all major shoes companies have good products in their range. I personally prefer, the Boost range from Adidas. Sadly they stopped making their more comfortable Pureboost shoes and prefer selling their more expensive Ultraboost ones, which I also have. In sale a few of these can be found...

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    Yes, full cream will be best option. Also, these co-operative companies sell something known as institutional packs, which are 6 L packs at discounted rates. See if you can get your hands at that. As for the cream separator, you will have to contact them and ask for the latest price -...

    Flipkart deals

    I haven't been using it regularly, but haven't faced this issue yet. This was an issue that I faced with my KZ Bluetooth cable, whenever it's battery used to get low. I'll check more closely for the Soundcore and revert back

    A2 Ghee a scam?

    Cheapest way would be to still make Ghee at home, even if you do it with packet milk instead of own cow's milk. Best way to do that would be to buy a small manual cream separator. Lakshmi brand from Chadha Sales, New Delhi is the best option whether for commercial or home use. The separated...
