Subscription services are a financial blackhole. They trick you into thinking that you will make full use of them, when in reality, you make use only 40-50% of them. This applies to all subscription services, including Prime, Netflix, Game Pass, etc. When you are a working professional, you...

I think it's high time people should stop buying AsRock products. Their shoddy quality components have become more apparent in recent years. I still remember how their 'Taichi' line of motherboards were the gold standard. Not anymore. Your issue was almost replicated by one of Greg's videos...

The higher SOT is because of the LTPO display combined with the phone set to auto-brightness. LTPO displays generally provide the best results when the brightness levels are between 40-50%. And with the brightness set to auto, the display almost manages itself, leading to higher battery life...

Thank you for the insight! Also, I loved Snatch. The 'infamous' pub scene first came to my mind when you mentioned it, and the raw British humor reminded me of Blackadder from the 80s. The entire film was a roller coaster from start to finish.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Releasing this movie just a couple of days after of MI: Rogue Nation was Guy Ritchie's biggest let off, because people wanted more spy action and this in turn hid the movie's massive shortcomings. While I couldn't properly make out whether the story was...

Maybe I'm getting old, but the last time I saw Coldplay being relevant was 10 years ago when they released 'Ghost Stories'. And even then their popularity was on a downward spiral, similar to Linkin Park/Green Day/Maroon 5, bands which also didn't stand the test of time. It's sad that they...

Final call before I take both off sale: Nintendo Switch Lite: 9,000 INR shipped Red Dead Redemption: 2,400 INR shipped

Yes. This was purchased first hand locally. Since there is no official warranty in India, no point in sharing invoice. The condition is 4/5 is because of the triggers. They have turned slight yellowish due to usage. Surprisingly, the joycons have maintained their original color. There are some...

Situations like these remind me why I stopped updating all my devices long back. Post COVID, the shoddy quality of software updates has marred every device out there, including iPhones, which were considered to be the industry's 'gold standard'. These mega-corpos guaranteeing 6-7 years of...

Any electronic device - if taken good care of - will have multiple years of longevity. Such a concept isn't exclusive to Apple devices. All my previous smartphones are in perfectly workable condition - the Nokia 5233 from 2011, the Nokia Lumia 630 from 2015, or the Samsung J2 Pro from 2016...

When you're buying a tablet for entertainment purposes, with the sole purpose of watching movies, your first priority should be to get one with a good/better display. Unfortunately, the Pad X9 skimps on that department with its TFT LCD compared to the IPS LCD of the Redmi Pad SE. So, it's a...

TL;DW - Apple Silicon still takes the cake when it comes to efficiency and cooling performance. However, the X Elite is promising so far when it comes to day-to-day tasks such as web browsing and on-the-go gaming. And as usual, Windows 11 is a sheep's turd of an operating system and a major...

I'd suggest taking a look at the Nicehck YDK earbuds: https://conceptkart.com/products/nicehck-ydx-earphone Priced at under 1K INR, it comes with a removable cable (which is a major relief as it will not be a e-waste once the stock cable gives up) and a mild V-shaped sound signature. On the...

The CMF Phone 1 isn't a worthy phone that can be suggested to people. The cameras are pretty mediocre, comes with no stereo speakers, display brightness is pretty average (especially outdoors), and the worst offender - having no headphone jack. On top of that, you need to purchase a charging...

Nope. The 7S Gen 2 is a re-packaged 778G (6nm) on the 4nm process. As a result, you get better efficiency i.e. less heating and extended battery life. Snapdragon's naming scheme is just as bad as MediaTek.

The POCO X6 is an obvious choice. It's like the perfect phone with all the bells and whistle under 20K. Performance is stellar thanks to the 7S Gen 2 and HyperOS, display supports Dolby Vision, camera supports OIS with average results, and one of the few devices to come with a headphone jack...
