    CPU/Mobo Would adding RAM help my laptop?

    During my work, I use Chrome with 10-15 tabs, Firefox with about 5-6 tabs, Edge with 5-6 tabs and sometimes more. These browsers are used for specific different purposes. I see that the consensus opinion is not to bother with increasing RAM. I am not working today so this laptop does not have...

    CPU/Mobo Would adding RAM help my laptop?

    I use a hp laptop that is i3-8130U based with 8 GB RAM. It is very slow specially when running many browser tabs. In task manager, I see typically 7.1 GB used all the time. I believe that is the reason for the slow speed but I could be wrong. Correct me if I am wrong. I see the laptop has 2...

    Requirement to connect from India

    I have just returned to India now and will be able to submit from the app I guess. Actually, I did not want to jump through hoops to get it done since I was ultimately going to return so the worst case scenario was that my annuity payment would be delayed. Didn't really matter so much. Speedify...

    Requirement to connect from India

    No. I guess the app is to ensure that the person is alive. You have to shoot the picture in the app. Last year when I switched my car insurer, I had to use Tata AIG app and take pictures from within the app too. Probably to show that my car was not damaged.

    Requirement to connect from India

    I tried this and it seems to be working without adding a subscription. I will now try to submit my life certificate. Hope it goes well. For each policy I add to the LIC app, it does not send me the otp in the first attempt. Then it tells me to wait for 15 minutes and try. Buggy apps as usual...

    Requirement to connect from India

    Thanks for all the helpful posts. Most users of VPN probably use it for privacy/security and India content access. In my case it is more a kind of one-off requirement to use LIC's Jeevan Saakshya and Digilocker from my iPhone. Has any of you had previous experience of using govt. apps like that...

    Requirement to connect from India

    I am currently in Canada and will be here for several more months. Meanwhile, I have to submit my life certificate to LIC for receiving my annuity. The best method is to install their app on my phone to submit and also use Digilocker to validate my Aadhaar. However, both Digilocker and the LIC...

    Can I pair a dual channel RAM with a single channel RAM?

    My Lenovo G50-70 has a 4GB DDR3 1600 1.35V RAM in slot 1. The laptop has slot 2 available where I want to install another 4GB RAM. I see on Flipkart a decent price for a Hynix RAM with similar specs except that the description mentions dual channel while the original one mentions single channel...

    PC Peripherals Want printer for home use

    I don't need anything more than a printer. Ideally, it should have network connectivity. This doesn't meet my needs.

    PC Peripherals Want printer for home use

    Thanks guys for all the valuable feedback. I was aware of the low cost printers from Ricoh which were available in the 3K range and I had told my daughter and son-in-law that they could have a print solution in the 5K range. That set the price bar very low. I now learn that those same printers...

    PC Peripherals Want printer for home use

    For my daughter's place in Goa. Usage is low and occasional. My past experience with inkjets has been bad because the head tends to clog if not used for a few weeks at a stretch. Although on paper it looks like inkjet is the way to go for low volume usage, my experience says to stay away from...
