    Which Stock market app do you recommend?

    Share prices are known to jump for milliseconds. However, that should be visible in "Day" graph of the Script. Check if this Share peaked for a brief moment. If it did, then the trade was successful. If not, there could be some error. Regardless, T+3 is usually stretched time period for...

    32 inch or bigger TV/monitor

    In the INR 25K to 28K there are several options from HiSense and Vu. I would personally stay away from some weird sounding brands. In the budget mentioned, you could get a decent 43-inch 4K LED TV from Budget Brands ONLY. As for Warranty, Service, and Installation, many buyers face issues in...

    Which Stock market app do you recommend?

    Share Trading may now be a Two Field Game: Those who trade on smartphones (apps), and those who trade on their Laptops/PCs. The charges seem to be similar across the board. The differences would majorly lie in the ease of use, speed of trade, convenience, data presentation, and other factors...

    High density power bank (30k-50k mah)

    Charge smartphones from a wall outlet, preferably a slower or standard charging that's between 10W to 30W. This will help keep battery healthy longer, especially if users charge their phones fully. "Blazing Fast" charging adapters are good for an occasional quick boost. Power-banks too should...

    Jio Airfiber feedback?

    This shouldn't be taken as a definitive view. However, all these "Air" Fiber devices latch onto the nearest 5G tower using a bulky outdoor unit and then send the signal through a small RJ45 LAN cable to a Router, where the connection negotiation and data transfer occurs. There's NO "Fiber"...

    Official Windows 11 LITE Version Released for OLD Generation PCs

    There is NO Windows 11 LTSE Version. There's Windows 11 LTSC and Windows 11 IoT LTSC. Secondly, Windows 11 won't officially run on older devices that lack Secure Boot and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0. This eliminates MANY systems. By releasing such a version, Microsoft would be going back...

    0-20k Need help with a (used?) budget low-power-usage build for a NAS.

    Go for refurbished (used) CPU+Motherboard+RAM combo on eCommerce platforms. Then get the cheapest possible iTX or Mini-ATX Cabinet and Power-supply of about 240W. This could allow about 4 HDDs. Should be cheaper than off-the-shelf NAS and allow services.

    0-20k Need help with a (used?) budget low-power-usage build for a NAS.

    There's another cheaper but possibly riskier option to get NAS-like functionality. Use a 3.5-inch USB enclosure and external power adapter. Connect them to a Router that has a USB port. Configure SAMBA. This is useful for backups and occasional media consumption.

    0-20k Need help with a (used?) budget low-power-usage build for a NAS.

    Seems like an old thread, but building NAS is a little complex. One of the best ways is to repurpose an old computer, remove all unnecessary peripherals. Then get used HDDs and install them. Then run Open Media Vault or similar NAS OS.

    0-20k Refurbished or New PC

    This an excellent choice, but you must know how to assemble and install everything. There are MANY such cheap combos, and they work really well. You will not be able to officially run Windows 11, but Windows 10 is still supported. Additionally, these older devices work well with Linux.

    0-20k PC Upgrade Advice

    If there's no definitive budget, it would be difficult to offer some concrete advice. Having said that, consider going beyond Windows and Linux. Buy an Android TV Box and connect a USB Hub. Then connect a Keyboard, Mouse, and a Printer. An Android TV Box with 4GB RAM and 64GB Storage costs...

    Crowdsourcing junk calling numbers?

    The Indian Government has recently mandated all Legitimate Calls to be originated from 160-XXXX Numbers. However, this still doesn't address the Spam calls from Personal Numbers. Spam Calls has become a HUGE Menace in India. Nearly EVERY Call is a SPAM Call. The only solution is to STOP taking...

    TP-Link AC1200 dual band router speed is only 94Mbps

    Based on your statements, it is amply clear that ACT is at fault. They could be throttling your speed. How else would your speed jump to the advertised level of 400Mbps. My simple advice is contact ACT and tell them you are connecting your MAIN device (PC/Laptop/TV) DIRECTLY into the ACT's...

    Router with good range under 4k ?

    What is the difference between software locked special bands and the "General" bands available universally. Bands are either physically available inside the Chipset or they are not. They can be locked by software in accordance to regions, as mentioned by @kuduku. @guest_999 unless you can...

    Which AC for 250 sq ft room ?

    Thanks for the response. I wasn't referring to the STAR rating. I was referring to Ton. Is there a significant saving between using 1.5T AC and 2T AC for the same room size, while BOTH being 5 STAR rated?

    Router with good range under 4k ?

    That's a review from October 2020. It is possible Netgear OS restricts users to four bands. However, there have been updates, which might have unlocked more Bands. Having said that, the R6850 is NOT recommended as it is a VERY OLD device. There are far better modern Routers, but they might not...

    Advice on USB to 3.5mm for laptop

    @calvin1719 How is the Portronics USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter? Did it work properly with your laptop, which I assume has a USB-C port. Traditionally, the USB-A to 3.5mm adapter work well with ANY laptop/PC. Interestingly, they are "Driverless", and hence start working instantly...

    Which AC for 250 sq ft room ?

    Interesting insights: Go for the larger model for better efficiency. What is the average number of units that a 2 Ton AC consumes? If you could, break it up in hours per Day. i.e.: KW/Hour The price of a 5 Star 2 Ton AC starts at around INR 65K. Does this price justify in the long-run, and are...
