    Monitors OLED Monitors

    If I were to buy an OLED today, I'd wait for the newly launched 27" 4k qd-oleds. I have the AW3225QF (bought for 90k) but for me 27" 4k is the sweetspot, has better text clarity at 150% scaling and 27" is great for multiplayer gaming.

    Petition to keep the forum apolitical

    Why? No, I'm on a forum called called TechEnclave, not SelfHelpEnclave, I'm here to discuss tech and I don't want people to cast judgement on my political beliefs (or lack thereof) and I hate when a discussion gets hijacked by politics. It ruins my interest in the thread as I get notifications...

    The Photography Thread !

    I have the Hiniso Ad-50c, got it for ~10k. Has temp/humidity readout (not what I'm using to monitor) and keeps the relative humidity down below ~50%, with the sensor placed at the exact opposite corner (built in display reads ~30%), even with BLR humidity reaching 80%+ this week. Friend uses a...

    IoT Geysers? Racold or Havells

    I use a dumb geyser with a polycab 16A smart plug. Keeps the internet connected part separate from the actual geyser, if the plug breaks I can just replace it instead of having to repair the entire geyser unit/throwing it away. Scheduled Alexa to turn it on at 8 on weekdays and turn off at 10...

    Storage Solutions Orico SSD service

    Received the SSD today, packaging looks good (= not generic) at least. Endurance ratings are on the lower side, but similar to QLC SSDs available on the market (crucial p3, intel 660p), and while they don't specify the flash type, going by numbers we can assume this to be QLC. Will test...

    News Apple Announces Redesigned Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

    I think this thread should be closed, it has ran its course of m4 mac mini announcement, and has devolved into platform arguments and name calling. If anyone has any specific questions regarding the m4 mini they can create a new thread instead.

    Silly question alert! Warm white (not yellow) LED bulb

    Just got these Osram LED lights https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B08F9MKBCM 4000k 10w LEDs, they advertise 120 lumens/watts, so probably aren't driving the individual LEDs very hard, and will likely last longer. The light itself is very soothing and they claim >80Ra (CRI). All this however means...

    Hypocrisy of Firefox [Mozilla Corporation]

    I don't think this is correct. While brave is based off of chromium, they patch the sources to force enable manifest v2, and their internal ad blocking ("brave shield") is independent of these manifest shenanigans. Source https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/

    51-70k Moving to desktop after ages - need help building PC

    Pretty much everything is really low end, you can probably build one with similar/better parts, new, if you purchase parts during sales. I'd skip it.

    51-70k Moving to desktop after ages - need help building PC

    This is very much out of touch with reality. 2 of my friends use the same CPU (12400 and 12400F) with stock coolers, both of them play AAA games and esports like Apex (3060ti and 6650xt, both using high refresh rate 1080p monitors), one edits videos using filmora, and they're working perfectly...

    Storage Solutions Optane M10 16GB drives

    These drives originally came out as storage accelerators, to be used with cheaper laptops with HDDs (as a cache). Intel used their Rapid Storage Technology driver/application to cache frequently used applications/files on this drive. Needlessly to say, they were never going to perform better...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    5x Intel optane m10 16GB nvme drives. These aren't very good nvme/optane drives, and at 16GB capacity you can't fit much, but 16GB is enough to install/run server/nas/router OSs like pfsense, opnsense, truenas/scale, proxmox etc.. At 300 Rs per drive, I don't need to keep hunting for cheap 128GB...

    Need a 3.5mm AND USB-C dongle thing.

    Can't use USB C dongles with office laptop? I know some companies disable the USB ports entirely.
