    reliable good displayport cable

    I too vote for cable creation or Bluerigger. Cables are unnecessarily expensive, yes. But the good thing is, if you buy a good quality 8k capable cable today, they'll basically last you a lifetime. Cables don't go bad.

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

    Refurb mini PCs from Dell, HP, and Lenovo are pretty good for this usecase. We have a few people selling those here as well. You can get something with i3 8th gen for 8k. Then all you need is a cheap monitor. 10k is definitely a bit dream territory though. I built a PC for 10k in 2005. My uncle...

    Storage Solutions Is it safe to buy HDD from vishal peripherals ?

    Vishal peripherals is generally trusted shop, but I don't have any personal experience with them. I have bought the same drive 2 years ago from PrimeABGB and they had packed it well. The cost is only 100 more on prime, but I don't think they have card offers. You can get 2% discount by paying...

    Laptops Do laptops not come with LAN port anymore?

    I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad and it came with an Ethernet port. Of course, if you're planning on using ethernet, then it would be at a fixed position. So Dock works as well. But good docks are expensive. If you don't need display out, then you can use something cheaper.

    FS: Networking Ubiquiti U6+ Access Point

    I have hourly notifications using RSS feed and NTFY. The Python script runs on my NAS. Works only when I'm on home wi-fi, but I get notified with max 1 hour delay for any new posts. It was a fun side project. It's been up for more than 6 months but I've never actually bought anything because I...

    Airtel and JIO have kept their prices unchanged for years, giving 100 mbps for 900 rupees. I hope it will change in the near future.

    CPU/Mobo Cpu building advice ryzen 8500g

    In this case, you should have asked for the build beforehand. The problem with 8500G is that it's AM5, Which is newer. So it's not very budget friendly. With a 5500GT, you could have gotten motherboard + RAM for 7.5k. DDR5 and AM5 boards are still going for a premium over their "4" counterparts.

    CPU/Mobo Cpu building advice ryzen 8500g

    IMO you should get 5200 or 5600 MHz RAM. Also see if you can spend 1k more on the motherboard to get this https://mdcomputers.in/asrock-a620m-hdv-m-2-plus.html?sort=p.price&order=ASC It has 2 display outs, USB-C port, and a slot for M.2 wifi card.

    Hisense U7H - buying help needed - urgent

    I could not decide in such a short time and the sale was over at midnight. Too little time to decide on a 40k expenditure. I wish I had noticed it sooner.

    Hisense U7H - buying help needed - urgent

    At what price had you bought? Thanks for the inputs. Literature online seems to say there won't be a huge difference between QLED and mini-LED. Have you had a chance to compare yourself? Viewing angle should not be a problem as it's not a regular PC usage but just for gaming.

    FS: Mobile Pixel 4a - 3 years old

    Selling my Pixel 4a. This is one of the last decent compact phones. It's very light compared to today's phone. The only reason I upgraded was the battery life, with many apps like Tasker and all running, it was a struggle to make it last a full day. So great for a light user or someone who...
