    FS: Others Miscellaneous Accessories For Sale

    Just a tip. Consider using Registered Parcel service of Indiapost to keep shipping costs down. Not everyone will consider paying 100 bucks shipping on a 200 bucks item. GLWS

    Microsoft's acquiring Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion

    Because you are just outsourcing your hardware requirements to someone else. The company who is offering the services will have to purchase that hardware so they can offer it to you on rent. Yes, there will be some impact as these companies will have better efficiencies and since everyone is not...

    Wifi 6 Card & Router

    FYI, I recently upgraded to a good dual-band router which has decent range on the 5Ghz band and it can barely cover 1000 sq ft. I paired it with a TP-link AC1200 adapter and it just shows a link speed of 433Mbps for that. With my phone it shows a link speed of 866Mbps because of 3x3 MU-MIMO...

    Review Thermal body warmer issues

    Then it's all about tolerance in your case. You are not accustomed to these temperatures. Also, if you tend to sit at one place, you will feel more cold as blood circulation also becomes slow, i.e. why our extremities are the first to feel cold. The ads will always have an 'asterisk' and...

    30-40k To upgrade or replace Battery?

    If you are happy with the phone, then just get the battery replaced. Even if replaced through Apple service centre, it will only cost one tenth of the price of a new iPhone.

    Wifi 6 Card & Router

    You need to read and learn a lot of things it seems. First go and read what all these bands mean and what their range are. Why do you think Wifi 6 will solve your issue?

    Review Thermal body warmer issues

    Aren't you wearing anything on top of them? IIRC, you live in Mumbai so you are probably just not used to such temperatures. Wearing multiple layers is the solution and not just the thermal capabilities of the cloth. I make do with just 2 layers of the cheapest fleece tshirts from Decathlon...

    40K+ Samsung's pricing strategy

    So you use your phone while it is actually plugged in, like one would use a laptop. I thought you keep using it and plugging it back (which is what I do, but don't charge beyond 80%). You say that you use a 5V charger. Have you ever experienced battery dropping while using the phone still...

    Wifi 6 Card & Router

    What has Wifi6 got to do with range? Currently most cheap Wifi 6 options aren't really that good. Most of them have skimped out on radios for other bands making them overall weaker than Wave 2 Wifi 5 devices. You haven't mentioned what speeds and distance you are looking to cover and with what...

    Car & Bike banggood shipping to India?

    Also, they are not shipping a lot of stuff to India, it seems. They had the Xiaomi Pad on sale for $350, but unfortunately, not shipping to India. This seems to be true for other phones and tablets as well.

    I think all laptops have this since a long time now. When you hover over the battery icon after it is fully charged, it will show that it is running 'On AC power'.

    LG Split AC 10 year warranty with gas charging?

    No specific websites are around. I just use Youtube and answers to specific queries on the various internet forums. I designed and did my whole house plumbing myself with the help of a labor guy. It was a learning curve for me as well, but I could anticipate my needs and issues better and plan...

    40K+ Samsung's pricing strategy

    It depends. In laptops, they stop using/charging the battery and switch to AC power when the battery is fully charged, so they can be left plugged in. Many of the newer laptops also have this option of limiting the charging to 80% and it switches automatically to AC power once that limit is...

    40K+ Samsung's pricing strategy

    I hope you know that you should be cycling your phone's battery between 30-80% for battery longevity. Since even I stay at home, I keep it cycling between 50-80%. Keeping it plugged in and fully charged will actually be detrimental to the battery life.

    LG Split AC 10 year warranty with gas charging?

    It's a vicious cycle. Even if you are willing to pay more, there is still no guarantee that the tradesmen have good knowledge of their job and then there is the other side of the coin that most people can't or won't pay for quality workmanship or it is just unaffordable, like, in the west, where...

    Help me choose a TWS / bluetooth receiver to use in bed

    There is KZ AZ09 TWS attachment available at one of the newer audio stores online. I personally use the KZ bluetooth cable, but even I am looking for a pair of TWS for watching TV. My only caveat is that they need to have 'over ear' attachment or design and finding it hard to find options in...

    LG Split AC 10 year warranty with gas charging?

    From the wordings as shared by dexterz, if the compressor fails within warranty, it will be replaced and gas charging done for that instance only. If however, you would need to recharge the gas during your normal usage, it won't be covered under warranty. That aspect is only with regards to...

    Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    So, even we didn't have a place in our kitchen for the dishwasher. I ran pipes for the inlet, but the drain was always going to be an issue. I found an alternative for the time being which is how we have been using ours for over 2 years now. I just placed a bucket next to it and keep the drain...
