    The Other Guys (2010) The time around 2010s was such a great time for comedies. Easy A, Jump Street, She's Out of My League, The Change-Up, Zombieland - you name it. And somehow, this movie flew under my radar, until I came across a snippet from the movie, thanks to Youtube recommendations. As...

    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    Let's not dilute the reliability and brand power of a company like Deepcool to the likes of unreliable and cheap-ass brands such as Zebronics, EVM, or even Orico. At a time when the CM Hyper 212 was the only affordable and reliable aftermarket air cooler was in the Indian market, Deepcool broke...

    News Apple to halt US sales of Series 9, Ultra 2 smartwatches over patent dispute

    This was indirectly a win for Masimo, actually. The article conveniently (and intentionally) omits the major talking point of this jury ruling - Apple lawyers wanted injunction against sales of Masimo’s smartwatches - a direct retaliation to what Masimo did to Apple last year. Instead, no...

    Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K is reportedly (slightly) slower than the i9 14900K in gaming

    This isn't even remotely comparable to Ryzen 1st Gen. When Ryzen 1xxx launched, AMD offered consumers with the benefit of 'high core count at value pricing'. It was a dream getting a 12-core R5 1600 at $219 launch price, when Intel was selling the 6-core i5 8400 at $170-180. Couple that with...

    Discontinued Amazon prime finally!! I am so happy. .

    Subscription services are a financial blackhole. They trick you into thinking that you will make full use of them, when in reality, you make use only 40-50% of them. This applies to all subscription services, including Prime, Netflix, Game Pass, etc. When you are a working professional, you...

    PC boots up, no video output

    I think it's high time people should stop buying AsRock products. Their shoddy quality components have become more apparent in recent years. I still remember how their 'Taichi' line of motherboards were the gold standard. Not anymore. Your issue was almost replicated by one of Greg's videos...

    20-25K Phone with Clean(ish) OS

    The higher SOT is because of the LTPO display combined with the phone set to auto-brightness. LTPO displays generally provide the best results when the brightness levels are between 40-50%. And with the brightness set to auto, the display almost manages itself, leading to higher battery life...

    Thank you for the insight! Also, I loved Snatch. The 'infamous' pub scene first came to my mind when you mentioned it, and the raw British humor reminded me of Blackadder from the 80s. The entire film was a roller coaster from start to finish.

    The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Releasing this movie just a couple of days after of MI: Rogue Nation was Guy Ritchie's biggest let off, because people wanted more spy action and this in turn hid the movie's massive shortcomings. While I couldn't properly make out whether the story was...

    Any tips for booking a ticket for the Coldplay: Music Of The Spheres World Tour (MUmbai)

    Maybe I'm getting old, but the last time I saw Coldplay being relevant was 10 years ago when they released 'Ghost Stories'. And even then their popularity was on a downward spiral, similar to Linkin Park/Green Day/Maroon 5, bands which also didn't stand the test of time. It's sad that they...

    Android Samsung green line issue after software update

    Situations like these remind me why I stopped updating all my devices long back. Post COVID, the shoddy quality of software updates has marred every device out there, including iPhones, which were considered to be the industry's 'gold standard'. These mega-corpos guaranteeing 6-7 years of...

    Confused between iPhone 15 vs S23

    Any electronic device - if taken good care of - will have multiple years of longevity. Such a concept isn't exclusive to Apple devices. All my previous smartphones are in perfectly workable condition - the Nokia 5233 from 2011, the Nokia Lumia 630 from 2015, or the Samsung J2 Pro from 2016...
