Nevermind the YT and influencer hype, the Ally really shat the bed in terms of user experience. Not to mention, lower wattage performance is still a mess, as predicted by @t3chg33k. No amount of TDP or FPS limit through Armory Crate is able to improve battery life, as the system eats up power...

The S22 was universally criticised for its battery life, due to the presence of the hot-turd, Samsung-made SD 8 Gen 1. I don't know what different were you expecting from your use case scenario.

Avoid the XM5. It has a terrible design and is prone to snapping at the ear cup ends. Not to mention that they cannot be folded properly, which can be a pain in the butt while travelling. Instead, choose the XM4. However, if I were you, I would have got the Meze 99 Neo instead. Built like a...

Stop buying wireless earbuds. I seriously can't stress this enough because you are not only allowing these companies to charge exorbitant prices for their pathetic products but are also destroying the planet with their non-disposable batteries, creating more e-waste. If you really have to get...

I tried out the official app in the anticipation that third-party ones may die, when the news of Reddit charging for API access first broke out in March. One of the major issues I faced is the way comments on a post were showcased. I was so much used to the clean comment sorting that Sync...

Been an avid user of Sync Pro since 2017. Bought it when it was retailing for 50 INR (currently 400 INR) and I got more than my money's worth. Feels really bad for the dev because just six months ago, he overhauled the app with Material You design language and was by far the best third-party...

There are two very straightforward reasons for this: Phil Spencer Xbox's hands-off approach Phil Spencer is the number #1 reason why Xbox's brand value has dropped off a cliff since the 360-era. His obsession with Game Pass and the mentality of pushing games as a service concept has been...

When you are searching for anything on YouTube, be it through desktop or mobile, use "-" (without quotes) followed by your defined category, to eliminate that category of Youtubers from your search results. For instance, if you are searching Samsung A34 on Youtube and you do not want videos...

No one in their right minds should buy the ROG Ally. The ROG Ally isn't a handheld console. It is a PC, shrunken to a handheld size. As a result, you do not get any quality of life upgrades. For instance, the major area where the Steam Deck flourishes is its quick resume. You can jump in and...

I would suggest you to spend the lion's share of your budget on the headphones (80-90%). Think about the headphones first. DACs/AMPs should come into the picture much later. Since your usage involves both gaming and music/movies, look at headphones that provide the best imaging, because that is...

Yes. On Flipkart, you can claim credit using the same email address. Just enter the GSTIN and company name during checkout by checking GST Invoice. However, for Amazon Business, you will require a separate email address than your regular Amazon account (preferably your work email), for creating...

When using Flipkart, click on GST Invoice during checkout. For Amazon, you need to make a separate business account to make business-related purchases.

Exynos and good-battery life does not go hand-in-hand. Hence, avoid any Exynos-oriented chipset (such as Samsung F14/A14/M14) like plague if your primary criteria is good battery life. Instead, take a look at the Samsung F23 5G 6GB/128GB. Comes with a Snapdragon 750G chipset, so you can enjoy...

Been facing the same issue recently. Seems like a bug on GPay's end because force-closing and launching GPay again solves the issue.

Haven't seen much discussion about this here, but apparently Nearby Share has now become a game changer with its release on Windows. Even though the app is still in beta stage, the functionality is pretty fantastic. Here's Rupesh from Beebom having a go at it: You can download the Windows beta...

This was before the Swiss Court ruling that email service providers do not have to comply with data retention laws: https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/27/protonmail_data_victory/ The laws have changed and Proton Mail is in the exception now. You can read more about it here...

Add to that list is Nord VPN and Surfshark. Nord VPN's data breach have shown that you cannot trust their security. And Surfshark's HQ is based in Netherlands, which is a part of the Nine Eyes Jurisdiction, meaning that your privacy is in for a toss. That's why, I always suggest people to...

My entire post is about information security researchers and bug bounty programs related to Apple was to highlight the single fact - how Apple is seen as a company in the field of independent security. When you preach user security and privacy on a global scale, and then instead treat the...

Let's not move away further from the truth. You'd expect a company that advertises security and privacy of their users for a most part of the last 10 years, would also value the effort and time of white-hat ethical hackers and security researchers. Instead, that is not quite the case. Apple...

Let's not move away further from the truth. UPI was Dr Raghuram Rajan's brainchild. And its governing body (NPCI) created UPI's vision during the UPA-II era (2012). Thus, the current government had nothing to do with UPI existence.
