    Android Google Pay reset to default automatically ?

    Been facing the same issue recently. Seems like a bug on GPay's end because force-closing and launching GPay again solves the issue.

    Nearby Share (Airdrop) For Windows (BETA)

    Haven't seen much discussion about this here, but apparently Nearby Share has now become a game changer with its release on Windows. Even though the app is still in beta stage, the functionality is pretty fantastic. Here's Rupesh from Beebom having a go at it: You can download the Windows beta...

    Kape technologies owns major VPN's

    This was before the Swiss Court ruling that email service providers do not have to comply with data retention laws: https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/27/protonmail_data_victory/ The laws have changed and Proton Mail is in the exception now. You can read more about it here...

    Kape technologies owns major VPN's

    Add to that list is Nord VPN and Surfshark. Nord VPN's data breach have shown that you cannot trust their security. And Surfshark's HQ is based in Netherlands, which is a part of the Nine Eyes Jurisdiction, meaning that your privacy is in for a toss. That's why, I always suggest people to...

    Why do some iPhone users forcefully also carry an Android phone?

    My entire post is about information security researchers and bug bounty programs related to Apple was to highlight the single fact - how Apple is seen as a company in the field of independent security. When you preach user security and privacy on a global scale, and then instead treat the...

    Why do some iPhone users forcefully also carry an Android phone?

    Let's not move away further from the truth. You'd expect a company that advertises security and privacy of their users for a most part of the last 10 years, would also value the effort and time of white-hat ethical hackers and security researchers. Instead, that is not quite the case. Apple...

    UPI Merchant Transactions Over ₹2,000 To Carry Charge Of 1.1% From April 1, 2023

    Let's not move away further from the truth. UPI was Dr Raghuram Rajan's brainchild. And its governing body (NPCI) created UPI's vision during the UPA-II era (2012). Thus, the current government had nothing to do with UPI existence.

    Nvidia 4000 series cards

    What the review does not mention that TLOU Part 1 on PC is a piece of trash. It is worse in terms of optimisation than Arkham Knight, and that is saying something. Fact is, a reviewer shouldn't use one of the worst PC ports in the last 5-10 years, to mislead users that games need more VRAM at...

    30-40k Is buying a demo phone a good idea?

    Ask your friend to avoid buying demo phones. This is because the batteries of demo phones get the most hit because they always stay connected to the charger. Since S22 already has a crap battery life because of the 8 Gen 1 chipset / Exynos 2200, being a demo unit will mean further decrease of...

    Mechanical Keyboard Switch Recommendation

    The screenshot isn't from Meckeys. Actually, Meckeys do not even disclose if Ink V2 Black is factory-lubed. Gateron's own website mentions that the V2 Black, Red, and Yellow come factory-lubed. Only the the Ink V2 Blue comes unlubed.

    Mechanical Keyboard Switch Recommendation

    Also, just ignore my comment. Will be better for me.

    Mechanical Keyboard Switch Recommendation

    Tactile/linear isn't as black/white as you make it sound to be. I can see that he has already tried the RK Reds, and didn't like it because of the low-actuation force. The Gateron Black fixes that. And at 20 INR per piece (thereby fitting his budget), it's an absolute steal.

    Mechanical Keyboard Switch Recommendation

    Get the Gateron Black: https://www.meckeys.com/shop/accessories/keyboard-accessories/key-switches/gateron-mechanical-switch/ 60g actuation and will be miles better than the RK Red you used before. I have used Gateron Yellow (50g) and even though they do not come factory-lubed like the Gateron...

    Counter Strike 2

    No anti-cheat solution works properly on Linux, and since Valve is a big supporter of Linux (including Steam Deck), it would be infinitely better if Valve can stick to their in-house solutions. In that way, Valve will not be at the mercy of third-party anti-cheat solutions for updates and...

    Co-op (Local/Online) Game Suggestion Thread

    Apart from Stardew Valley as mentioned by @psyph3r, I'd also suggest Terraria and Streets of Rage 4. Streets of Rage 4 has to be my absolute favourite because of how well it plays, the music, and the brilliant graphics. Definitely the gold-standard when it comes to beat-em-ups. River City Girls...

    Upscaling 720p to 1080p

    Unless you are getting monetary benefits (as a project), there is no point in upscaling. The time spent and resource trade-off for the quality improvement is not worth it.

    Laptops Excessive Heating Issues in Lenovo Laptop: Seeking Solutions and Advice

    You are instantly calling for trouble when you are buying a high-performance H series 8C/16T CPU inside a slim form factor. I mean what were you thinking? A 6C/12T 5600H would have choked inside that chassis too. Your current solutions would be to change the thermal paste to high-performance...

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    So, last week, I was browsing through r/movies (as I usually do seldom), and this post asking Which movie traumatised you? irked me. I looked at those replies and for some reason chose The Human Centipede (First Sequence) [2009]. Generally, I can't stand or watch movies that promote gore or...

    All OS Best Smartphone to replace iPhone

    This isn't 2010 where smartphones are the new fad. Unless you are a senior citizen with Alzheimer's, jumping from iOS to Android will cause the least friction, since the OS basically behaves like a pocket PC. Can't say the same for users jumping from Android to iOS.

    Foodies lets talk chili sauce and pickles etc

    Most of the red chilli sauce brands I used (including Chings) are insanely tangy. The only one that I feel worth buying is from Weikfield: https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/40053870/weikfield-red-chilli-sauce-200-g/ It has a dense texture and does not cost that much. I'd also suggest trying out...
