    Qualcomm processors running android affected by security flaws.

    Am a complete newb with this regard to this but can someone explain how rooting your device (willingly by me) compromises security? What aspects exactly are compromised?

    How is Mi Power Bank (10000mAh) ?

    Bought the older version off eBay and it's rock solid for almost a year now. Am about to buy the new one for a friend. Get it eyes-closed.

    Monitors Asus PA238Q vs Dell Ultra Sharp Unit vs Your Suggestion? 22k Budget

    I am another user of the PA238Q. As psyph3r mentioned, some of the early units had issues with backlight bleeding and I unfortunately owned one of those. Thankfully, the bleed/glow was never that much and now, after almost 5 years of use, it's hardly noticeable. I got it for 16K as well and...

    Monitors DELL S2216H Monitor Issue (Backlight Bleeding)

    Actually, that is the exact purpose. To filter out that blue-white light that messes up with your eyes. Just turn it on whenever you're working/reading on your monitor and switch it off when watching movies etc. I do the same and have got used to it now. Keep a 4200K temperature even during...

    Liked the episode. Btw, Tormund seems to have a real hard-on for Brienne :D!

    PC Peripherals Is there any official web store of LG products

    Bought an LG Microwave off Croma website and when a guy from the company came for a demo, he said it was eligible for warranty claims.

    Monitors DELL S2216H Monitor Issue (Backlight Bleeding)

    You can do it if you like but you cannot be sure that the replaced one will not have any bleed/glow at all. Refurbished or new doesn't matter here. My monitor had excessive bleeding on one set of diagonal corners, I pressed for replacement and fair enough, they sent me a new one. It was worse so...

    [Spoilers] Game of Thrones (ASOIAF) thread

    As if much ambiguity is left as to what's cooking inside! R+L=J theory gets confirmed every episode they delay showing what transpired inside the tower.

    [Spoilers] Game of Thrones (ASOIAF) thread

    True. I wasn't surprised either. Having said that, after the timid manner in which Barristan was killed off, glad that the epic-ness of at least one of the great knights (Dayne here) lived up to the billing. Just watched the sequence again. Brilliant!

    There had to be something on Ned. Most of GRRM's characters have grey shades barring Ned; so far.

    Which Banks' Debit Card Support International Transactions?

    Their debit cards don't. I visited their branch to ask them to enable international transactions on my VISA Debit Card and was told straightaway to apply for a new Debit card (had some name I don't rem now and also had a 5K MAB condition attached to it) to perform international transactions. I...

    Arthur Dayne was indeed epic. The high-point of the episode for me!

    English TV series discussion

    Nobody talked about 'Better Call Saul'? Amazing amazing second season. It's awesome how the writers manage to add so many layers to a plot that I thought wouldn't cut ice when the series was first announced. Can't find a single fault and must say, BCS is right up there with BB so far.

    Kotak Mahindra or SBI?

    I currently have my only banking account with SBI and it's clearly time to move on. Back when I got the account opened, majority of the staff was middle aged and you encountered 'sarkaari' attitude often. For the past couple of years or more, most of that old staff has been replaced by...

    Cycling - An expensive hobby?

    @rdst_1 I do seriously suggest you trading in an MTB for your hybrid or buying the former in addition to the latter. In your case, an MTB would be highly justified and you won't miss out on cycling outdoors either. @onlyravi I was at first very tempted by Schnell bikes but they do not seem to...

    @rdst_1 The picture second from last reminded me of that shot from Brokeback Mountain. The moment I saw this pic, that humming guitar track from the movie rushed back. Thanks for uploading them man!
