    Amazon India lightning deals

    Good for you. Realistically, i doubt they will have quick turnaround and may take maybe a month for RMA.

    Rasp pi 4 slow response

    Actually, Pi4 has hw support for h265 decoding, and encoding/decoding for h264. So not really an issue. You just need to use the omx stuff or something - been a while since i looked into this. The pi can also easily keep up with the transfer rate as long as its not using NTFS. With ext4 or...

    Amazon India lightning deals

    EVM at least has local warranty. I dont think SD has that either. Not taking solace in the warranty part when the drive dies, but data backups should also be there, considering the sandisk saga.

    Good brand, but ASSC might be an issue. @SoulFire had this but no idea about now.

    16GB RAM for Laptop CL19 vs CL22 which one to BUY

    Gangadar - take the higher speed RAM and then narrow down on other numbers (CL, etc) AFAIK, 6th and 7th 2400, 8th gen 2666, 10th should be 2666 or 3200 depending on comet lake or ice lake while 11th should do 3200. Could be wrong, but this is a good estimate.

    21-30k Does lenovo provides good aftersale service for their laptops?

    Also for earlier Ryzen ie 5000 series and older. My experience with Lamington Road B2B has been good. However not with direct Lenovo, even if trying to get older stuff. Mainly the SKUs which are cheaper are not with them

    Linux How to run Win11 on KVM/QEMU?

    Check if this is also supported. Because nvidia did some allowances for quadros. Mention model number and details.

    India has restricted imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers with immediate effect

    Sorry, but we should try to do local manufacturing as much as possible because we have to survive. Today's jobs which are outsourced to us can be eaten away by other countries on lower costs. In the grand scheme of things, this is cyclical. Every couple of years, outsourcing will be done and...

    Linux How to run Win11 on KVM/QEMU?

    AFAIK, if using Intel there was a way of slicing up the GPU. Need to check back, will revert in a day or two. THIS IS OT - Oracle is notorious for requiring a lawyer for understanding license agreements. Fun fact - I know someone who is using Java apps and my opinion is that they are going to...

    India has restricted imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers with immediate effect

    Where exactly can we get this for such a low price. Lowest I have seen is ~85K. And India price lowest i have seen is 1.07L after card discounts. EDIT - we (my company) can claim GST so our price comes to around 90K plus GST and depreciation benefits YoY as the phones are used for business use.

    India has restricted imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers with immediate effect

    The line of price increase is entirely beyond reasoning. We still have phones at all price points. If you are expecting flagship phones at cheap prices like Mi3, that not going to happen. Look at OnePlus as well - they are equally expensive abroad as well. Also, remember that in USA, there is...

    India has restricted imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers with immediate effect

    Dunno about importing new, but my vendor who imports refurbished laptops, has already informed me that prices will be shooting upwards till this clears up. Secondly, this is actually needed to increase manufacturing in India. I have seen cost sheets of what it will cost to make an item in China...

    Multi gigabit switch

    Some do have. I just setup mine yesterday and the other will setup when wiring is changed - currently stuck at 100M Most are gigabit ready already. Take your choice of WiFi 5/6 devices. If you want a cheap mesh AP that is cheap and good, look at the Deco M5 - it has come down to 7K for a pair...
