    Hazy and foggy windscreen issues while driving in rains

    The defrost mode (windshield icon) will enable both AC and heater on simultaneously. The air first passes through the AC cooling fins, releasing moisture on it as condensation, then goes through the heating coil (a mini radiator through which engine coolant is allowed to flow when heater is...

    Hazy and foggy windscreen issues while driving in rains

    I've been using hoods for years. More effective at slow speeds/stand still. Recently applied Clear Vue, can't discern any improvement, probably since there's no airflow on the surface to carry the droplets away

    Hazy and foggy windscreen issues while driving in rains

    Warm air can carry away more moisture, so you need to increase the temperature if you have climate control. Not sure how manual AC works, so this might be applicable to those only. But making the glass too cold will definitely cause condensation both on the inside + outside. This is what I call...

    AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review roundup : Confusing and all over the place

    Just need to reflash the SPI BIOS chip with a patched/clean version using a 800 bucks flasher, which will remove the infected code. The hard part was attaching the clip to the IC legs properly. But you're missing the point: if your kernel is compromised, then you're in already deep trouble...

    Dehumidifier for room

    This is just marketing BS and plain wrong. An AC removes moisture + cools the air, so it is doubly effective compared to dehumidifier which only removes moisture. You can confirm this by observing water dripping under a car when AC is running, or the water drain pipe from indoor AC units. This...

    Dehumidifier for room

    ACs also run only when required to achieve the target temp. In fan mode, the compressor is not running at all, so temperature + humidity is not affected. It's just like a ceiling fan. I've never used a dehumidifier so can't comment on running costs or how effective they are.

    Dehumidifier for room

    Then AC is your best bet since coastal areas will always have high humidity. (A dehumidifier is also an AC + heater, but comparatively less powerful) But I'd suggest you try the hair dryer method for a day or two first. RH makes a bigger difference than what a thermometer says

    Dehumidifier for room

    How cool does it get there? An alternative way of reducing relative humidity is to heat the air, which will let it contain more moisture, thereby reducing RH. AC is no doubt the best way to dehumidify air, but when travelling by car, it dries the air a bit too much for my personal liking...

    Review Amazon India - Feedback Thread

    @prime the problem with statistical metrics is that it doesn't take into account legit cases. Just because someone returns more than an arbitrary no. of orders, doesn't mean they're scammers. Even a baseless "warning mail" has you thinking twice about returning legit defective/wrong items, so...

    AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review roundup : Confusing and all over the place

    There is no such thing as a "gaming" CPU. You can game on any CPU Just because a CPU has x3D cache, it doesn't magically improve gaming performance in every game. Only games that are heavy on simulation will actually benefit from the extra cache, for all others, single core performance is what...

    NPCI may be planning to dump OTPS and PINS for UPI transactions, may go with bio-metrics

    Are you seriously saying you can feel your finger tips while you are sleep? Exactly. Face scanner might be more "secure" than fingerprint since it needs your eyes to be open.

    AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X review roundup : Confusing and all over the place

    The CPU itself is good no doubt, but the price hike makes it a less VFM product. Efficiency is meaningless when the price difference is so much, and the performance difference so little. If it were priced close to the CURRENT market price of 7000 counterparts, then the extra efficiency would...
