    Anyone used Desertcart recently?

    I have used https://www.desertcart.in/ once in November 2023. It was for kids toys worth Rs. 7000. Order was shipped the next day, and reached my place in Kerala on the 10th day from shipping. It was shipped from UK, passed through Dubai, and then India. India delivery was handled by BlueDart...

    Cross platform note/Journaling solution ?

    So far, I haven't had a need to change notes in mobile. I always add/modify the notes in PC. I use mobile only as a reference, to read the notes to refresh my memory. Disclaimer: There may be better apps than FolderSync. It's just that I started using FolderSync Pro years ago, when they were...

    Cross platform note/Journaling solution ?

    I am a big fan of Obsidian. I would say use Obsidian if you want to ensure cross platform compatibility and to make it future proof. Even if Obsidian stops development, you will still have access to your notes (since its just a folder of markdown files, images, and other files). And on top of...

    Monitors Please suggest a 27 inch 2k monitor for gaming & work under 30k

    I had this Acer 21.5 inch SB220Q back then, which is probably their cheapest model. It just died completely after about 1-2 years of use. It just won't turn on. It was out of warranty (had only 1 year warranty I believe). This occurred when I was abroad, not in India. I was in a hurry to get a...

    New Scam Amazon seller using Clicktech Retail's name

    I think "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" may be genuine. These are the reasons why I think they are genuine: 1. In the sellers page, once I click on "See all products currently offered by the seller" for "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd", Amazon shows over 60000 results. If I do the same with...

    Looking to replace R7000 for a wifi router with better range

    The house has only 1 plug point per room. So, if I have to connect another router or even move this router to the center of the house, I have to either get a power cable extender or run the ethernet cable all the way to the next room. Do you have any recommendations on DIY cable hiding methods...

    Looking to replace R7000 for a wifi router with better range

    I live in a 2 bed room 900 sqft house. My current router is a Netgear R7000. The router is located at one end of the house (cannot be moved since the internet optical fiber equipment is kept there). I get poor signal in one of the bed rooms and a bath room, and sometimes, no signal at all...

    Suggest a router

    I believe the problem is only for repeater mode. I haven't tried connecting with a cable though since the main router is in a different room.

    Suggest a router

    Sorry for the confusion. R7000 as a standalone router supports WPA2. The issue is when you are using two R7000s- one as router and the second as a wifi repeater. I have two R7000s. Due to range issues, I decided to use the second R7000 as a wifi repeater. In the official Netgear firmware, I...

    Suggest a router

    I am not sure if Netgear R7000 has good range compared to others. I have this router. Earlier I used to keep this in one room. If I sit in another room parallel to the first room (separated by a brick wall), there was no 5 ghz coverage. 2.4 ghz was not good enough either. I had to move the...

    I am not a fan of underwears to be honest. They feel too restritive.

    What do you wear at home instead of pants?

    I grew up in a small town and didn't really bother about what to wear at home. Earlier, I just used to wear old nearly worn out pants. Recently, thought of moving to something better. I tried a couple of track pants. 2 of them bought for Rs. 500 each (from Big Bazaar) got damaged within 1-2...

    New cable TV Tariffs to put a hole in your pocket!

    My cable operator is charging 153.5 for the minimum 100 and also another 20 as service fee. They also said 2-3 weeks ago that there is a mandatory 30 rs STB maintenance contract fee, but looks like they later made it optional. NCF of 23.5 is in addition to this 153.5+20. I am keeping cable for...
