    Netflix crackdown is coming

    After I picked up the 14 services bundle on JIO TV, I realized that I actually do not need Netflix. I was part of a shared pool--which we are dissolving due to members moving to other parts of the World. Netflix was all the hype when they came in (maybe) due to the over priced subscription. I...

    MS Excel Advanced and Macros

    Buy any book on Visual Basic. It is same to the VBA available on MS Suite. Just objects are different. But language syntax varies. VB does not have the Excel object model directly exposed.

    Some questions about Jio Fiber

    See if you can lower the MTU value. https://broadbandforum.co/threads/how-work-from-home-over-reliance-jio-fiber-working-for-you.208139/ Though I did not have to do this. I use Cisco VPN on my office laptop-at home. Works without an issue for all applications.

    Some questions about Jio Fiber

    ^^ You get prime membership for all the 14 apps mentioned in the 999 plan. Netflix is not mentioned, so it is not part of it. The app is there, so you can login using normal process. Even Youtube is there (as app icon), but you do not get paid membership, but you can login using QR. When I see...

    Apple Event 2022 recap

    Still using SE 2016. This model lineup rocks. Still updated to iOS 15.0. Small and functional. And can fit inside a pocket. This new one seems the face. SANS: face recognition.

    Smart bulb Wifi

    Was able to replace on Philips Wiz Bulb. It is working fine now. Got a Homemate 9W E27. Works well. App is decent, but the yellow colors not that nice. Pairing was easy.

    How do sleep trackers tracks sleep?

    I have the Amazfit Bip2. It seems to be quite accurate for sleep tracking. I have an approximate idea when I fell asleep. And of course when I woke up. The sleep dial shows it accurately. I think it is a combination of the gyro + pulse sensor. Like how these watches do not register movement /...

    Share your automations

    I also got one smart bulb and it worked great. Was quite happy. Got two more. One behaves in the manner you described. So have stopped. I just use my Alexa DOT (given as a gift from office) to launch songs. For this reason I would never ever attach a smart plug to a device like a geyser or...

    UPI app recommendation (alternatives to paytm)

    PayTM is seriously a bad application. I have to use PayTM once a month. When money is being added, it defaults to "keep wallet topped up" or something. It is so annoying. And yes the solicitation is miles ahead.

    Smart bulb Wifi

    Bump... Need some feedback on smart bulbs. Back story: Some months ago I picked up three Philips WIZ Smart Bulbs. (B22 E27 type). Two are working perfect, but one seems to be a lemon. It keeps getting disconnected from the Wifi and randomly switches on/off. So I do not want to go for this...

    UPI app recommendation (alternatives to paytm)

    Yes it can. Notify bills and fetch bill details. One good aspect of BHIM is. You can associate multiple bank accounts with your 1 UPI id. And choose a default account for receiving money or doing transactions. Once the BHIM app opens (for payments) you can toggle which account to use. With...
