    Storage Solutions Suggest new internal HDD for PC.

    Thanks for pointing the non-returnable bit about Amazon. Wonder how many days it will take to reach from Vedant but yes, I will definitely take a look at it.

    Storage Solutions Suggest new internal HDD for PC.

    My 5yr old internal HDD is on its last legs. Looking at this one for a replacement. Will this be good enough for regular desktop storage? (games & files)? https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08VH8R94B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AJRK4JF48YXA&psc=1 Thanks and regards

    [Update: Ban Lifted] VLC Media Player banned in India

    I was under the impression that when you update VLC, there could be issues on the computer. Not in India, if the sword belongs to an MBA;).

    [Update: Ban Lifted] VLC Media Player banned in India

    So, my question here is - Should I retain the existing VLC player on my PC without updating it ever or should I delete it from my PC forever? (Not that the Chinese or Modi Uncle will be thrilled to find the contents of my computer - No bank balance worth speaking of, Not an MBA which...

    Agree with your points but she does have a loan against her name with a 100% repayment-on-time record. Anyway, doesn't matter in the end. The lesser CCs, the better. Also, this credit score biz is again just corporate mumbo-jumbo according to me. In my parents time, the world worked just fine...

    Ya I meant "foolish" in the philosophical sense that is there even something called "honest marketing/advertising?" :)

    Nice. So have decided on one thing at least, not going for HDFC Millennia. I absolutely detest misleading advertising although I am afraid I might be taking a foolish stand here.

    Credit card recommendations?

    @Ssreek That's a important point you mention there. 5% cashback without any restrictions on HDFC Millenia sounded too good to be true. Am I correct in understanding that for e.g if I buy a laptop worth 70K my cashback will be limited to 1000 rupees?

    Thanks for the recommendations. However, I don't need so many cards. One should suffice.

    Credit card recommendations?

    @ascalon What kind of rewards are available with HDFC Millennia? Any idea? Most likely will get that as there is a salary account with HDFC. Edit: Reading reviews and member comments on technofino now. :bookworm:

    Credit card recommendations?

    Yes, used to have one. But gave it away due to financial issues few years ago. Thanks for the recommendations. My past experience with SBI, RBL, and SC has not been good. SBI has horrible support in case something goes wrong. So, will probably avoid it. Anyway, thank you everyone for your...

    Credit card recommendations?

    Read an article on Paisabazaaar about best credit cards in India in 2022 but still wanted to get an idea from real user experiences. Between Axis Ace, HDFC Millenia, and Amazon Pay ICICI credit card which would you recommend for mostly online shopping via Amazon, online food orders, and the...

    Recommendations needed for burglar alarm system. My experience while searching so far

    Hey, sorry for the delayed response. The make is true view. I don't know the model numbers. I just know that there are 2 dome cameras and 5 Bullet cameras. Camera support is up to 9 cameras on the DVR I guess. Again not sure.

    Hey, so I got 7 outdoor 3MP IP cameras with inbuilt motion sensors and the other requisite material such as hard drive, board, wiring etc. for around 48K. This included installation charges as well.

    Recommendations needed for burglar alarm system. My experience while searching so far

    Hello :) . So went the old-school way after getting unsatisfactory/ no responses from the different companies I contacted. My mom's friendly neighbourhood jewellery shop recommended a security guy who had installed cameras in his shop. Got his number, contacted him, and got a favorable quotation...

    Need suggestions for a UPS

    Yes, I was thinking about what you have mentioned above but inverter + battery will cost around 20k-22k at min. if I am not mistaken. Since I only have the minimum budget, choosing the UPS will be the only way I guess. Thanks.
