    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    Demonetisation helped them win the 4 state elections afterwards. That's how they went from minority to majority. Why do you think Modi spends so much time wooing NRI's and other Indian diaspora? They're a massive source of funding for the BJP. Plus, the donations are in $'s.

    Graphic Cards Graphics card makers will be forced to slash prices after GPU shipments fall by 40%

    I've noticed that whenever a new product launches, our @#$%^&* distributors don't reduce prices of old cards but instead they jack up the price of the new ones.

    OT but is it me or is our PM wearing women's shoes in the screenshot? I wouldn't take their word for it. Remember what they said about aadhar security?

    Karnataka Elections 2018

    FYI, Vajpayee's term involved getting slapped with sanctions post 'Smiling Buddha' so i'd consider it an outlier. History will show: When global economy was bad, India was growing under MMS. When global economy was recovering, Indian economy is struggling under Modi.

    Laptops Does Laptop fan not working cause it to not boot ?

    You're right - overheating usually doesn't cause an immediate shutdown. The other causes could be a failing hard drive or corrupted memory.

    Laptops Does Laptop fan not working cause it to not boot ?

    Yes. If the cpu is not cooled properly then safety measures kick in to keep components from overheating. The ssd won't make any noise even when failing since it has no moving parts.

    Laptops Little known bargains - Used enterprise laptops

    I don't know about computers but they definitely do this with cars sold here. If you compare post-crash pics of swifts you'll be able to see missing protection bars in Indian models. But this is probably more due to cost and lower crash safety requirements.

    Gtx 1060 3/6gb

    It will be hard to find a decent gpu at a reasonable price these days due to the cryptomining boom. i'm also looking for a gpu but waiting for the crypto craze to die down (or for asics to take over).

    Impact of RAM Speeds

    Pairing ram dimms with different speeds leads to the faster ram clocking down to the same speed as the slower ram. Normally, having more ram beats having faster ram but do take into account possible incompatibility issues.
