My own priority is the availability of as many ports as I need, so may be a bit different to your own. Also, I'm keen on a smaller screen for lack of space - prefer 19"~21", but can go with 24" if it ticks all other boxes. These are some models I have boomarked on Amazon, in the earnest hope...

With Secure Boot enabled, your firmware verifies the bootloader programs against pre-loaded keys before letting them proceed. This basically means that any other blob (the Linux bootloader, for instance) that doesn't match these keys (initially set by the manufacturer and almost always including...

If you haven't already, have you made sure you enabled 2FA and an app-specific password for your Google account? Google tries to make it harder it should be, but I think you can find a lot of instructions/troubleshooting tips online.

Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't have anything to exchange it with. And without an exchange, the Mi 11X was at least 8k more, which I couldn't quite justify. For my use case - no gaming, social media or google services, a couple of hours daily talk-time + a bit of media/YT consumption + a...

Thank you. At this point, still looking for something with DisplayPort and under 10k. There are a few I found in the 12k range on Amazon, and hopefully can get one of them for a discount during the upcoming sale. One other thing I forgot to mention - need a unit with standard VESA mount holes...

If you are keen to take the free/open software route you may consider FairEmail and K9 Mail. Have used K9 Mail for a fairly long time in the past and recently switched to FairEmail. Bear in mind that if you are looking to sync your Gmail account, both these programs require a setup with...

Did actually try gcam and was not totally happy. The device-specific configuration appears to be very much a work in progress and I think the general consensus is that the stock app is still the best option available (at least at the time I last tried it, a week or so ago). Also, it was a bit...

Looking for a secondary monitor for some of my test setups. Can someone please recommend a cheap monitor with VGA/HDMI (and if possible, a DP), preferably with links to buy online? Will almost always use this to run just a console - so size, resolution, refresh-rates do not matter. Would be...

Ended up going with the Note 10 Pro Max (with help from a generous forum member who helped obtain a discount) and been using it for a few weeks now. Some thoughts. Found the stock firmware bloated and pretty much unusable. After initially trying LOS, found it a bit too bland - also their camera...

Have used MuPDF on Android and Linux for quite some time and found it quite fast and no-frills. I believe they have a version available for Windows and hopefully it is just as good. Have since switched to the even faster and keyboard-based Zathura (based on the MuPDF library) on Linux, but it...

While it may not matter with your use-case, the Ryzen 7 CPU has a clear 2-core advantage over the Ryzen 5 model. (Edit: As pointed out by @Sammoka there's the power efficiency/battery life of the Ryzen 5 to consider.) Personally, with most other things on par and if the price difference is...

Your mind probably is made up already, but have you also looked at the Asus G14 Zephyrus line-up? Have been using one for a few weeks now, and am quite impressed by the display and battery life so far. The display is supposedly 100% sRGB (maxes out at 250 nits, though). You also have one...

A few points you may want to consider: 1. Fitbit devices are known to be quite good with fitness/sleep tracking, since your primary requirements are fitness-based. 2. Tracking cycling activity will very likely be inaccurate in nearly every wrist-worn device. There may be odd exceptions. If this...

Yes. Received the drive and tests fine. Very well packaged and just as described. Thank you @aercy

If your primary requirement is reading PDFs on a Kindle, you may want to re-consider buying one. As far as I have seen, Kindle scales up/down a PDF document just as it would a bitmap image. This makes it painfully slow and pretty much unusable, unless if your PDF files are specifically optimised...

Thank you for all the suggestions. Unfortunately, won't be able to take up any - thanks to my paranoia, I don't use mobile payments which rules out app-based options. And since every other option I looked at leads to the same IRCTC service, it's not something I wish to go through again, either...

Been years since I last booked a train ticket online, and the IRCTC service appears far worse than I remember it from last time, with multiple failed bookings already. And their website is impossible to navigate on Firefox and Chromium (the only two browsers I have access to, right now). Also...

Oh well, not so impressive then. Didn't actually notice it. Don't have a ICICI card myself, so didn't even attempt to read the fine print.

5000 off on ICICI cards on the Samsung T5 (1TB) https://www.flipkart.com/samsung-t5-1-tb-external-solid-state-drive/p/itmezny8gfpxgh2a

Had been looking to get this - https://www.amazon.in/dp/B089MVC43X/ Just realised they have a running offer on HDFC cards. Would appreciate if someone is willing to help out. Kindly PM.
