    Thank you, I'll look into the MOVs. They seem interesting and doable. The whole house one is currently not viable for me.

    Games Steam Games at 15% Discount

    Cross region gifting has not been a thing for a while. People use VPN to create accounts in cheaper regions and pay using giftcards. This was the case in Argentina. Now, people contact other users in said countries and have them buy the game as a gift or transfer wallet amount. The person...

    https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1636418037465957691/ Many more cases, this one came up first. The ban just stops you from gifting anymore games. I'm not aware of any other restrictions rn.

    Just a heads up, steam has been known to ban accounts (trading/gifting) that send out a lot of gift on the basis of commercial use and exploiting regional pricing. This is highly frowned upon even by legitimate users who regularly send out gifts. Afaik this only happens in the case of wallet...

    Cloud storage services with lifetime option

    I do understand. However I've heard Oracle randomly takes away capacity from free users when needed. Is this true?

    Monitors Samsung Odyssey G3 or Gigabyte G24F 2 or something else? Both 24inches.

    A 2k monitor is unfortunately out of budget for me. Either it is too expensive or has a very low refresh rate.

    Monitors Samsung Odyssey G3 or Gigabyte G24F 2 or something else? Both 24inches.

    I looked at the LG. Both Gigabyte and LG seem to be almost the same. GB having a bit higher contrast, also has a built-in USB hub. I guess GB seems to be the best option right now.

    Monitors Samsung Odyssey G3 or Gigabyte G24F 2 or something else? Both 24inches.

    I'm looking for the 24" not 27". Honestly after reading a couple of reviews, Gigabyte seems to be a better option. Samsung has very bad performance in GTG rise and fall times, possibly leading to smearing. It also does not support HDR. Gigabyte also supports a 125% sRGB. My only question now...

    Laptops Where can I get a replacement battery?

    Hello everyone. I'd purchased an Avita laptop in 2019. It was working fine till about last year, when I started facing issues with the battery. There were a couple of other issues as well but those are irrelevant. Over time the battery backup started to drop, and around Nov last year it was...

    Storage Solutions HDD not spinning up, any troubleshooting steps or is it toast?

    Ant Esports VS600L. I know, I know, Horrific PSU and I should've gone with a reputable brand, but when I bought it I thought it being rated for 600W, should be able to handle around 150-200W loads easily without a unscheduled rapid disassembly. And this system wasn't meant to run 24x7 anyways...

    Storage Solutions HDD not spinning up, any troubleshooting steps or is it toast?

    I'm already aware of this. This decision was taken after taking this into consideration. The drive wasn't accessible via the NAS and was only written to while taking the backup at night, which lasted <10mins in most cases. Hence I didn't really see a need for it to be running for long intervals...
