    Camcorder for professional videography

    Reviving an old thread here. Thinking of buying a Camera/Camcorder for basically shooting home/vacation/travel videos. Was searching through the forum and found this thread where you are specifically advicing not to go for camcorders. Would be interested in knowing why? I am not a Photography...

    AAP got a great idea to fight against black money/corruption in Real Estate

    I appreciate your intention, not taking or giving bribes is the most correct way to tackle corruption, It is just not possible in all cases. I have gone through it myself when I applied for an international drivers permit and was asked for a bribe. I refused to pay, and was made to run in...

    AAP got a great idea to fight against black money/corruption in Real Estate

    Your solution is too simplistic, even naaive to some extent, but your analysis is fair and then you go on and lump AAP and BJP together and mess up the conclusion. Please see the difference here, AAP is actually trying to tackle the "Aam Junta- Black Money" as you call it by introducing this...

    Android Samsung : Rooting, Knox and Warranty

    Yes I know I can turn off unwanted apps, the issue is with the wanted apps that keep running in the background. For example, I use TTPOD as music player, but even even after I close it properly, some service keeps running. Greenify cannot auto hibernate in non root version so that doesn't help...

    Android Samsung : Rooting, Knox and Warranty

    I have a non-rooted Note 3 Neo N750, which is about 8 months old now. I have been considering rooting it, but havent done that yet due to the Knox Warranty Void issue with newer Samsung devices. Basically, the bootloader is locked, and if you flash custom recovery with Odin, the Knox Warranty...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    Please refrain from making personal remarks and don't take too much load of somebody's preference or dislike of specific brands. @Jambumali and Eddy check on amazon.in they have Deskstar NAS 4TB drives listed. These are 7200rpm and RAID oriented so they are similar to Reds and Seagate NAS drives...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    I'm glad (sort off) that I am not the only hoarder here. And I am not saying that with any malice, like I said I have well over 1000 CDs/DVDs and my father has about 200-300 Cassettes + 200-300 Gramophone disks. You can imagine the issues of storing all that. And you are absolutely right about...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    Literally LOL'd at your statement about Seagate. Are you using Hitachi Drives? And doesnt storing a large amount of DVDs get cumbersome? I have over a 1000 DVDs with me, because I have kept every DVD/CD I ever bought. I am slowly transferring all the data from the DVDs onto my WD externals...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    Well the HGST website lists the Deskstar, the NAS series, and megascale 3.5" drives in the product section. And the Wikipedia entry says its a company wholly owned by WD and it was decided to retain HGST as a seperate competing brand. Then it goes on to say that based on regulator suggestions...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    Not enough votes in so far. To my surprise WD Blue has most votes at 5, with Seagate 7200 and WD Green with 3 each. As far as I know the largest Blue drive is 1TB, so it doesn't really cut it as a storage drive. Dual purpose as boot+storage if you are on a shoestring budget ... yes sure. They...

    Storage Solutions Best HDD Type for Desktop Storage

    I keep reading good things about WD Red. But Red drives are relatively newer released about 2 years back. So the data about failure rates wouldn't be that reliable IMHO. My WD green died on me just short of the 3 year mark, thankfully it had 3 year warranty then so could get it replaced. There...

    Debit card fraud .... Help

    Like most people here have said, file a police complaint, cyber crime cell complaint and dispute the charge with the bank as fraudulent. If required get help from a lawyer, the bank should reverse the charge. There is a good chance that the bank will reverse the charges.
