    (Politics) Social media giant Facebook and BJP/Modi nexus

    Would have to disagree with the ballot paper thing. In a country where Vikas Dubey and gundas like him are given tickets by every single party, ballot papers can never be the best. They might work well in first world countries where every small politician doesnt have a posse following them...

    (Politics) Social media giant Facebook and BJP/Modi nexus

    Guess BJP doesn't need Cambridge Analytica like some other party i remember :p They just infiltrate the main source instead.

    Logitech Mouse starts working after blowing warm / hot air using hair dryer

    But keeping the devices in places like that CAN actually help a bit. I live near the coast in Goa and the humidity here is always high, at least for 9 months out of 12. What I've noticed is that things start corroding faster if dust settles on it. This dust absorbs the moisture and accelerates...

    Logitech Mouse starts working after blowing warm / hot air using hair dryer

    Isopropyl alcohol is used in most of the hand sanitizers and that's why they show up in the search. But DON'T use those on any electronic components. Most of them have only 70% alcohol along with other stuff in it which might not be good for the PCB. For cleaning electronics, more than 90% is...

    Logitech Mouse starts working after blowing warm / hot air using hair dryer

    I think it would be better if you get some isopropyl alcohol and try cleaning the PCB first and see how it goes. It will be a lot cheaper than the new mouse and will also come in handy for cleaning other electronic components in future. Just put some of the solution on a microfiber cloth and...

    Spam and inaction on Jio

    Lol. First of all, you can't directly contact coz you dont know who it is. They just show a picture. No number. If you want to see the number of the person who has checked your truecaller profile then you have to buy premium. Secondly, its not actually some girl checking the profile. Anytime...

    Spam and inaction on Jio

    Well I dont care who sees my profile. But the thing is, the app shows notifications with ALWAYS some random girl's blurred out picture in hopes that the user will upgrade to premium so that he can find out who has seen his profile. Its like "Look! so many girls have viewed your profile! You can...

    Spam and inaction on Jio

    I use truecaller for the same reason. But i TRULY hate that piece or crap. Every time they send a notification saying that someone has viewed my profile and show a blurred picture of some girl. What a sleazy way of getting people to upgrade to their premium service. And insulting too. Is this...

    PC Peripherals Need help with External casing for HDD

    Currently it seems like there are no big brand 3.5" hdd enclosures. For 2.5" there are ones from Adata and transcend, but for 3.5" there are only more of the type that you showed and they all just look like clones of each other. Would be better if you just go with the one with better reviews...

    PC Peripherals Need help with External casing for HDD

    1. Your HDD is PROBABLY sata 2 but it will still perform better on usb 3.0. Most 7200rpm hard drives have speeds of 80-160 MBps. Whereas usb 2.0 is about 25-30MBps max! Its better to opt for usb 3.0 to eliminate this bottleneck. 2. Yes. As you can see from my first point it has more than enough...

    Should I get jio fiber please help.

    3000GB o_O:eek: Jokes aside, how much speed do you get after you cross the FUP limit? 1597147203 And are there any other benefits? Like any streaming service subscriptions?

    Is plugging a surge protector into a UPS too risky?

    O Ohh. Well....I have never heard about this before. I tried to process this in my brain for a while but I just dont know how it can happen. Like how can the UPS send power from its own batteries to the inverter?!! Its not like a usb cable where the data can go back and forth. The only things...

    Android OnePlus Nord is a "budget phone"

    The last 2 cameras are not used at all? How can such a big company get away with something like this? Isnt it false advertising?

    Is plugging a surge protector into a UPS too risky?

    Well the thing I know about Inverter to UPS is that the UPS will work fine if the Inverter is pure sine wave. If its not, then the UPS will think that the power supplied is bad for the electrical devices connected to it and will switch to the backup battery to protect them. If the inverter is...

    Is plugging a surge protector into a UPS too risky?

    Yes I can use those too i guess. But the thing with the power stip is the ease of acces it offers. I can just bend down to plug or unplug anything i want on the neatly laud out sockets. I mean, i dont keep removing plugs from it all the time but it's still better then trying to reach the back...

    Is plugging a surge protector into a UPS too risky?

    Oh yeah! I think I saw one of these conversion plugs fitted onto the old speaker plugs a long time ago when i was a kid. God knows where that thing went. Thanks for reminding me of this. Its pretty irritating when the speaker keeps losing power and i have to keep fiddling with plug to get it to...
