    Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals (that can be availed in India)

    Good reason to resurrect this thread. ProtonVPN at $36 for first year is probably better than the other options. https://protonvpn.com/blackfriday Rosetta Stone lifetime deal at $149 for those okay with spending that much. https://www.rosettastone.com/black-friday-sale/

    pCloud Black Friday lifetime storage deals

    I have been following these deals for years. pCloud fingerprints every file and bans accounts if something turns up on the DMCA list. Wouldn't really bother unless you have large amounts of personal files to keep in cold storage as shared OneDrive is by far a better option in terms of sync.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    Foreign investors are not going to pour in anyway, so it isn't going to make huge jumps, mostly sideways wit few spurts based on news and "sentiments". Anyway, glad that Swiggy jumped today and I could offload my IPO shares.

    FS: Consoles Wii U Console plus 21 Original games.( For collectors )

    You will really need an obsessed collector to pick this one up though, not sure you will find one here. I had picked mine up from Japan for 6k and modded it to run any title from a SD card, and all the games themselves can be downloaded directly from Nintendo servers. Not sure how much value...

    Review Amazon India - Very bad experience

    Since Amazon was forced to divest its stake in sellers, the marketplace has been filled with a lot of local trading companies that have least consideration about customer service. It just doesn't make sense to purchase from a seller which has less than 90% positive ratings.

    Virtual Desktop / DaaS suggestion

    Just seems to me that it might be difficult to hit that price point. I think Rentaflop is one of the cheapest rendering providers, so you can estimate the cost somewhat. Otherwise, I don't think too many services will offer dedicated GPU VMs for bespoke usage. https://rentaflop.com/

    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    The problem with using R&D as a measure is that every Chinese manufacturing company will have one in terms of protyping for manufacturing, not necessarily to move forward technologically. Most of the unknown firms that make new products are actually OEM themselves and white label stuff, like...

    Review Amazon India - Very bad experience

    I already posted in the feedback thread about my experience with RetailEZ. They either don't ship or repack used items and are owned by the promoters of Rupa garments. I made it a point to never purchase from this seller again as my one and only experience with them required 3 replacements...

    4th Stage Cancer - Treated with Diet

    When I first replied to his post, the title was worse, it mentioned "cured by ayurveda" and then changed to the current one which is milder but still misleading. A lot of the Ayurvedic treatments are empirical. The human biology and lifestyle has also changed over these thousands of years and...

    Deepcool isn't having a great time since they were banned in US which has also affected their operations in countries that follow the US sanctions list. Wouldn't call it a behemoth. https://9meters.com/technology/pc/what-the-deepcool-ban-in-the-us-means-for-you Orico is fine for a cheap mass...

    "Do you have XYZ Credit Card?" Thread

    Could do with a Bobcard for 10% discount on Flipkart but I guess the offer ends today, so a bit late in the day. Also, it is a pair of sunglasses with a return window that I may have to avail of of it doesn't fit, so not sure how that will work.

    PC Peripherals What is the state of USB 3.X and 2.4 GHz wireless interference these days?

    I switched from a desktop to laptop before I started using wireless controllers and never faced any issue. It is almost always a matter of shielding and having sufficient separation between the radio and the ports.

    Fitness watch to get from USA.

    Garmin is more of an outdoor runner's watch, especially the more serious Forerunner series and wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a smartwatch. The Vivimove would fit the budget but it is not the greatest smartwatch or fitness tracker. The Venu series is more realistic but out of your...

    PiHole should be a must

    I have a Mi Pad and the first thing I do is get off the official ROM. Unfortunately, that is not an option on TV. It can simply refuse to work if it doesn't get a ping back response, which in most cases is to Chinese servers. And yes, the data collected by the Chinese government is up for sale...

    buying domain

    It is the registrar who redacts it from WhoIs while recording the registered data to the register. Hence it is a paid service in most cases. I have also been using Spaceship for several years as I use a fake name and don't need to provide documents. You will probably get screwed if you use an...

    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    Their Indian site lists just one shop in Dadar East, Mumbai which I suppose exists just to import stuff. I would be surprised if they ever replace a product. Also, used to import Orico shop from AliExpress in the past and like other mass Chinese brands, they skip QC to cut costs, making it a...

    Honest review of apple intelligence

    It is not even an Apple Intelligence feature and was added in iOS 16. AI by whatever name in any mobile device is presently a marketing feature. Every company is trying to find a way to move more rectangular slabs that look the same with every software update...
