As it happens, I always have my computer grounded while blow-cleaning - in true literal sense no less, since I have them on the ground. While this explains why I haven't suffered any disasters, I'm still curious as to the actual reasons and the science involved w.r.t. blowing air and static...

Is an electric blower actually bad, as long as the nozzle doesn't come in contact with the electronics? Curious, since I occassionally use a blower but from a fair distance (30cm or beyond) - I do hold/tape the fans from spinning. Is there a documented link to blowing air and static electricity?

Not white, still should offer similar contrast: https://www.totalpowertools.in/store/Total-Ruler-TMT636002-p381370143 Appears to be white, fancier and pricier: https://www.totalpowertools.in/store/Total-Measure-Mate-TMT646003-p381370144 Neither of these are steel (both aluminium). And just...

Received the MMCX cable - neatly packed and brand new. Works as it should.

Interesting builds. I'm basically looking to dip my toes and try out something I could get hold of, even if at random. Just to see if it works out for me. A pre-built or even a DIY kit would be neat. And willing to learn and be patient (may not actually be able to get started on this "project"...

Presently using a "regular" TKL and have never before used a layout with layers, so I'm certain there's a learning curve involved. Not sure if I can try out several, given the availability and cost involved. Still curious to actually give this a go, being a long-time Emacs user and getting...

Looking to try out the 40% keyboard layout, mostly just for the sake of trying and to see if I can improve my typing speed and possibly reduce finger strain. Are there any models available here in India? Any regular 40% users here? Would appreciate thoughts, suggestions.

Aadhaar *may* work, but just to be safe take their birth certificate or any school/college certificate, if available. By the way, ECR does not matter unless you will be visiting an applicable country (country list). I think your best bet would be to use a single login to register for...

Their age (over 50) should exempt them from ECR anyhow. So, you will likely only need a birth certificate (or something else with their DOB). There are specific documents mentioned here - https://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/onlineHtml/NonEcrDocuments.html Though in my experience...

ECR is actually a means to protect emigrant workers to certain countries (largely Gulf nations). Education above 10th standard exempts one from ECR, along with a host of other conditions (age, parental, spousal qualifications, etc.). Source (long read, but the only detailed one I could find)...

Unsure about earlier MX models, but the newer MX Master 3 and MX Keys both support only charging via wired mode. They do support connections via BT and their Unifying wireless dongle (though for some inexplicable reason, the MX Keys Mini does not support the Unifying receiver). @Vandal : If...

The W apparently stands for the colour of the unit (W - White, B - Black). Source: LG monitor naming convention

@raf1988 Received the HDMI switch in excellent condition. Works as it should. Thank you.

Looking to upgrade to a 34" ultra-wide (21:9) screen for primarily text-based work (coding, reading documentation, web browsing) and occasional media consumption. No gaming. Budget around 40~50K. Requirements/preferences below: 1. Resolution: 3440x1440. Presently using a 27" 2K 16:9 screen and...

Vacuum is indeed what we use indoors. The blower was only meant to blow out dust outside the windows or on the verandah where we have leaves and larger debris, and where a vacuum just won't do. And since we live in the suburbs (with houses farther apart) and blow dust away from the house, it's...

Right, and your ECR status should be resolved during renewal on providing the qualification documents.

After watching a few video demonstrations of both the Stanley 600W and the Bosch 620W, where the Bosch consistently appeared the more powerful, had a last minute change of mind and went with the Bosch since I didn't want to compromise on power. Having used it for a couple of days, I'm...

The variable speed is definitely nice to have. The Stanley also comes with a 1-year warranty (against 6 months for the Bosch), so will go with it. Thank you.

It is for use around the house - blowing cobwebs off the window mesh, leaves/dust from the verandah, balcony and such. Hence the priority on power. Don't mean to use it on computers/appliances.
