    Android End of Xiaomi ?

    After having purchased a Redmi 3S Prime for use in my wife's clinic, I tried it out for myself. My experience led me to question why folks still recommend Redmi. I mean sure the specs are great for the price but the display and the software experience left much to be desired. The screen was...

    News Apple will start building iPhones in India by April end

    I wonder whether the concept of getting outdated significantly applies to the iPhone as it does to Android phones. I'm not an iPhone user but from what I've seen over the years with my colleagues iPhones, the icons, navigation and way of doing things has basically remained the same. Plus, Apple...

    HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI start charging for Cash transactions

    They refused to replace my grid based card with a non grid based card saying that it's not possible. The bank official claimed that all ICICI debit cards are grid based cards(though I did not get the feeling that he was being completely honest).

    HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI start charging for Cash transactions

    Do you not feel that you are forced to carry your ICICI debit card wherever you go? Because I for one have 5-6 debit cards from multiple banks and a credit card also. But I only carry a Citibank debit card in my wallet. If I attempt to make any net banking payment in for example my office via...

    HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI start charging for Cash transactions

    As if the uncivilized overnight demonetization did not put the people through enough trouble, now banks are using this excuse to extract more money from the people. HDFC especially has been expanding rapidly over the past two years and is trying every method to make customers pay for their...

    Angry with poor pay hike, Indian techies push govt to make resigning easier

    Keeping other discussions aside, the petition clearly defines the problem and has merit in my opinion. Companies, especially large service oriented companies do not give a damn about growth of their employees. The scenario is especially bad for employees who have joined as freshers and see...

    Havells v/s Wipro North West

    I don't know about the commissions part but I have Anchor ROMA switchboards in my apartment and Havells fans installed in one of my father's apartments. One of the Havells fans developed a nasty bearing noise. The others weren't great either. The Anchor ROMA switchboards of a decade ago were of...

    Storage Solutions Advice required on procuring a 120GB/240GB SSD

    The Crucial MX300 used TLC NAND instead of MLC. http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Crucial-MX300-275GB/Rating/3642 Also, based on my mediocre experience (which may or not be justified) with the TLC based Samsung 850 Evo in my wife's laptop, I prefer to stick with MLC SSDs for now.

    How Income Tax Department Is Tracking Your Transactions

    These moves amount to sheer harassment of individuals who are part of the banking system and does nothing to catch those who keep their money out of it. Also, if folks believe that India is going to even incrementally benefit from these moves (or even the uncivilized and highly questionable...

    Problems with Yahoo mail

    I've not tried this but thanks for sharing this technique. I've never used the "Archive" option in gmail. Looks like I should try it once as I really need to isolate key, important emails. Edit: Now I can't seem to find the "Archive" option in the cluttered gmail interface :banghead:.

Yahoo, the company is also a key source of PUP (potentially unwanted programs) that are bundled as part of most free software. I wonder why folks don't talk about this more i.e. we have a supposedly...

    Some of my friends have also told be about this and I remember reading some threads on TE about non-existent Transcend service. I suppose it's better to stick to Samsung at this point.
