    Counter Strike 2

    No anti-cheat solution works properly on Linux, and since Valve is a big supporter of Linux (including Steam Deck), it would be infinitely better if Valve can stick to their in-house solutions. In that way, Valve will not be at the mercy of third-party anti-cheat solutions for updates and...

    Co-op (Local/Online) Game Suggestion Thread

    Apart from Stardew Valley as mentioned by @psyph3r, I'd also suggest Terraria and Streets of Rage 4. Streets of Rage 4 has to be my absolute favourite because of how well it plays, the music, and the brilliant graphics. Definitely the gold-standard when it comes to beat-em-ups. River City Girls...

    Upscaling 720p to 1080p

    Unless you are getting monetary benefits (as a project), there is no point in upscaling. The time spent and resource trade-off for the quality improvement is not worth it.

    Laptops Excessive Heating Issues in Lenovo Laptop: Seeking Solutions and Advice

    You are instantly calling for trouble when you are buying a high-performance H series 8C/16T CPU inside a slim form factor. I mean what were you thinking? A 6C/12T 5600H would have choked inside that chassis too. Your current solutions would be to change the thermal paste to high-performance...

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    So, last week, I was browsing through r/movies (as I usually do seldom), and this post asking Which movie traumatised you? irked me. I looked at those replies and for some reason chose The Human Centipede (First Sequence) [2009]. Generally, I can't stand or watch movies that promote gore or...

    All OS Best Smartphone to replace iPhone

    This isn't 2010 where smartphones are the new fad. Unless you are a senior citizen with Alzheimer's, jumping from iOS to Android will cause the least friction, since the OS basically behaves like a pocket PC. Can't say the same for users jumping from Android to iOS.

    Foodies lets talk chili sauce and pickles etc

    Most of the red chilli sauce brands I used (including Chings) are insanely tangy. The only one that I feel worth buying is from Weikfield: https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/40053870/weikfield-red-chilli-sauce-200-g/ It has a dense texture and does not cost that much. I'd also suggest trying out...

    25-30k Phone for Day to Day use

    Nothing Phone 1 has become a worthy suggestion only recently after the drop in price and the launch of Android 13 Beta which started 15th December. The Android 13 Beta fixed a lot of issues with the phone and even enhanced the camera quality. Before the Android 13 update, the phone was shit...

    0-20k Need budget case/fans advice without rgb

    Check out the NZXT H510i. Should cost around 6K and is worth the extra bucks! https://mdcomputers.in/nzxt-h510i-matte-black-tempered-glass-ca-h510i-b1.html

    21-30k What on earth is an ASUS Eeebook.

    Ah, good ol' nostalgia. Your post reminds me the time circa 2009 when the market was flooded with netbooks. This was before the launch of the iPad 1st Gen in 2010, which was responsible for effectively killing the netbook market. Sadly, the Asus Eeebook was one of them. These netbooks were...

    Audiophile and gears

    I agree. The hearing accessibility features in One UI are great. I also use a custom profile as well!

    40K+ Switching from iPhone 13 to Pixel 7

    The OP never bought a Pixel 7, unlike @desiibond said. He chose to stick with the iPhone 13 because of better battery life. And the regular S23 has a much better battery life and minute idle drain over the regular Pixel 7. That's why people here are suggesting the S23 (as a compact phone).

    40K+ Switching from iPhone 13 to Pixel 7

    I think it's time you should stop gaslighting people. Android 13 improved battery life on some Samsung phones, but on some the update also decreased the battery life, most notably the S21 and S22 series. When the foundation of a phone is wrong, there's so much that software can fix. And the...

    40K+ Switching from iPhone 13 to Pixel 7

    That's a myth. Here's a Keepa screenshot for the the S22 which launched at 73K The first drastic price drop for the S22 was at 52,999 INR in September, which was like 7 months away from launch and if we put that into percentage, that's roughly 27%. If the OP can wait that long, then by all...

    40K+ Switching from iPhone 13 to Pixel 7

    Check out the regular S23. Lots of offers going on right now, and you should be able to get it at close to Pixel's price. Battery life with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Custom has been phenomenal. Just yesterday Ranjit dropped his first impressions and on WiFi that thing lasts close to 1-1.5 days...

    No 'Mid-range' brands for smart/fitness watch?

    Well, your 'The Quantified Scientist' had pretty nice things to say about the Inspire 3 and he even recommends it over other Fitbit models: Saying Fitbit is nowhere close to Apple Watch, when most of their models sell at half or even 1/3 the price of an Apple Watch is a pretty misinformed and...

    No 'Mid-range' brands for smart/fitness watch?

    Check out the Fitbit Inspire 3: https://www.myntra.com/fitness-bands/fitbit/fitbit-inspire-3-fitness-tracker-with-skin-temp-heart-rate/20415016/buy A major upgrade over the Inspire 2 and the battery lasts upto 10 days (5 days when using always-on display). When it comes to tracking fitness, I'd...

    PC Peripherals Need Highly dust resistant PC Case

    No. Sadly, the H510 does not have front filters. However, you can expect the dust settlement to be very minimal, since the front is fully closed off and the intakes are on the sides and bottom. Even then, temps are pretty great, considering the cabinet promotes silence over performance...

    Get the NZXT H510i: https://mdcomputers.in/nzxt-h510i-black-red-tempered-glass-ca-h510i-br.html I'm using an NZXT H400, which is built on the same foundation as the H510i, and it gathers very minimal dust. Have 2x intake and 2x exhaust, which also helps in balancing out the airflow, since...
