With our current 5.1 setup (a cheap no-brand that has existed for close to two decades) dying a slow death, and with the impending sales on Amazon/Flipkart - looking for something to replace it. Here are my requirements: 1. Would dearly like to stick to something under ~10K 2. Totally alright...

Both HTML and CSS are quite easy to learn (they probably aren't even languages, depending on how one looks at them) and complement each other, so it might benefit you to learn them both together. And if you wish to take it up a notch, be sure to learn Javascript as well. And the next obvious...

Afraid they may not yet be eligible (since in a transition phase between school and college). Have PMed @Ra.hul about Office Home and Student 2019 - I think Office Home/Business may be beyond their budget. Did look at keys on ebay.com. Then again, the choices and offers are way too confusing...

Need help with deciding the right MS Office version for a student getting into college. Coming from a non-Windows background, totally confused with the zillion different versions/licenses and just need something that: 1. works over a lifetime or a reasonably long time (no renewals) 2. isn't...

As stated, OP needs a way to turn his old CRT "smart" using an Android-based device - something that has an analog A/V output and outputs a PAL video signal. My own setup using a X96 Max Plus Android box with a generic RCA cable eventually turned out fairly usable on my old 14" CRT. The thing...

At 1080p, I think the distance is quite reasonable. My own setup is a 27" screen at 1440p and I sit ~0.8m away - have been hesitant to get a stand similar to yours to move it further away, though it would clear up considerable desk space. On that note, could you please share details of your...

Your desk appears to be around 0.5m deep (a very rough extrapolation from your keyboard dimensions), which means the screen is very likely around 0.75m away from your eyes. Is it not less than ideal to have the screen so far back? What size/resolution is your screen? Cannot help feeling...

Need around 60m Cat 6A cable as part of rearranging some of my network setup. Anyone looking to buy a longer roll and looking for someone to go halves with? Also open to ordering new online - would appreciate suggestions/pointers. Haven't give it any thought, but I guess anything beyond Cat 6A...

Are you certain about this? AFAIK, only the earlier versions (only v1, that I know for certain) lacked a web management panel and used their own Windows-only management program. Am particularly keen on this point, since I don't have access to a Windows machine. Sorry, it just stuck me that you...

Am buying the 8-port version of this same switch. As I understand, these are not truly managed switches, but with only a few features like VLAN, etc and are advertised as "smart" and "unmanaged pro" switches. Will only know what they actually are once I get ahold of mine. Still, don't think...

Bought from @saifbukhari Please consider this fulfilled. Thank you for the suggestions, and @saifbukhari for the offer.

No offers here, yet. Will wait for a day or so, and go with the TP-Link @rsaeon recommends - I'll need a fairly stable setup and this looks more than enough for my purposes. Am a bit worried about the seller's recent ratings, though. Any thoughts on this model that I originally had in mind -...

Minimum requirement: 8-port, Gigabit, reputable brand, 100% functional, okay with dumb switches. Beyond that, I'm open to considering whatever comes my way, within reason (and within a 4~5K budget). Please PM your offers. Also open to buying one anew, and would appreciate suggestions on decent...

By any chance, do you have large storage devices connected to the Pi - something that could potentially do lengthy filesystem checks after a hard reset?

Were you able to gather anything from the logs? If you run qbittorrent as a systemd service, journalctl -xb -u <unit-name> might give you some clues. Afraid I'm unfamiliar with qbittorrent - you may also want to look at any program-specific logs, if available. In every torrent program I have...

Received the modules and they test fine. @SunnyBoi Thank you for the great deal. Kudos too for the nice packaging - in an anti-static bag no less.

Apologies to the OP for going OT. So am I. Have never actually used these devices. As I understand these are meant for hardware accelerated decoding - largely used to offload this task on lower-powered/incapable CPUs. Don't really see much of an use case for these now on desktop/laptop class...

Thank you! I had downloaded books from the NCERT website several times before, but had never realised they had a postal delivery option. Ordered right away - was straightforward and worked surprisingly well.

Had been looking to buy CBSE school textbooks (NCERT, English medium) online for my kids. Would ideally want to buy an entire set for the year (class 6 and 4 are what I particularly seek). Sets are difficult to find on Amazon/Flipkart, and the sites that do sell them are often obscure/unknown...

Would only consider this a novelty (or a proof-of-concept) project and won't really recommend this for actual usage - definitely not with the analog A/V outs on these no-brand Android boxes. ** See update below ** The quality is so horrendous that my son started feeling nauseaic after watching...
