    90K+ Need a build for heavy multitasking that can drive up to four 4k monitors for work only

    1. What would be a good UPS for this build + 1 or 2 monitors. (Assuming additional monitors don't need to be connected to UPS). 2. The x570 steel legend at this price is the non-wifi one, it seems? Are there alternate x570s that are recommended? I see possibilities in the 'Asrock Taichi' variant...

    90K+ Need a build for heavy multitasking that can drive up to four 4k monitors for work only

    Thanks for the suggestion. This was helpful. Someone else suggested 5700 XT for the GPU. How do the two options compare for my usage? Also, does 3200mhz vs 3600mhz RAM make any difference for my use? (Read about it - no practical difference)

    90K+ Need a build for heavy multitasking that can drive up to four 4k monitors for work only

    Would I really need a threadripper? :oops: I'm also not running any ML stuff. To clarify the querying thing - it's just querying over relational DBs, and maybe some search indexes - ES/solr.

    90K+ Need a build for heavy multitasking that can drive up to four 4k monitors for work only

    What is your budget? Flexible. 1.5L+ without monitors. Of course I want to avoid unnecessary spending, but I see this as an investment in my work and hope it will last many years. What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) I have nothing :(...

    Myntra to bring back Desktop site after Failed attempts

    Myntra have become a case study now. Ballsy move it was, though I didn't agree with it. Someone had to go the whole distance and try this experiment out - now it's done.

    Other Where's the Mi Pad 2 and the N1?

    I'm in the same boat :/ Postponed tablet purchase for too long. I just want a good large non-ipad tablet within 25k :( I guess I just have to make the dive and get the Mi Pad 1...

    71-90K [Budget 50k-1L] Need a programming laptop with FHD display

    I get this hardware info when I query my system: Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Maybe you can dig a bit to see if that supports ac. I assume that the required support is for standard IEEE 802.11ac? I did a cursory attempt at checking for...

    71-90K [Budget 50k-1L] Need a programming laptop with FHD display

    The laptop is great so far. Use it for 6+ hours every day. I love the display (though I'm no expert). I use it for programming with a dark background and my code looks vivid and gorgeous over the dark BG :D. Very good viewing angles as well. Plus screen is FHD, which was critical for me. For...

    TinyOwl’s hostage crisis

    You bet. I spent a couple months helping my company hire developers. We looked at a hiring marketplace and it's crazy what these funded companies have done. Sub-standard candidates with 1-2 years of experience were asking for (and being paid) 17L-20L+ easily. A couple of them had skill-levels...

    Anyone from IT startUp ecosystem ?

    I just left after a 4-year stint at a startup. It's hectic, but I feel like I wouldn't have traded it for anything else. There are pluses and there are minuses, as with everything.

    Thanks, found it on FK for 10k. Also seems to be a 10% offer using SBI cards. So many complaints about Kent customer service, though :(

    Review Paytm says bus ticket is non cancellable!

    paytm CC emails have always seemed to carry some aura of incompetence. Sometimes I feel if the person is replying just because he is obligated to even though he may not know the actual answer or is afraid to ask answers from their seniors. Might want to call up and speak to them on phone just to...

    What is the best Hosting in India ?

    If it's just going to be a static website (ie. no user login or sessions or fancy functionality etc.), you can just use GitHub pages powered by jekyll. It's free. You would store your HTML code in your GitHub repo (which you should) and using GitHub pages, you'd automatically get a website for...
