    Help protect my PC cabinet from dust, kept very close to big Window max distance 14 inches.

    do you have a hair dryer with a cold shot? flow will be mild, but worth trying. cold shot means only normal air - no heating is involved. If you intend to buy a blower, they are useful not very frequently but still useful, look at small handheld ones like Stanley, available on Amazon.

    Weird secondary monitor intermittent issue

    apart from adapter (amazon basics adapter are good), consider checking resolution settings; I read sometime back about differing resolutions on 2 different monitors in a dual-display, causing issues.

    Help protect my PC cabinet from dust, kept very close to big Window max distance 14 inches.

    if you have a vacuum cleaner, most of those have a reverse mode where they act as blowers. You may not need to buy a separate blower only for this purpose. Don't use a vacuum cleaner on electronics - in vacuum mode, they can cause physical damage with huge suction power.

    Recommendation for a good chair under 10K INR?

    Featherlite has some Taiwan-made chairs usually ~15k range. Check those out too, above your stated budget but then you won't be buying chairs that frequently. Get a comfortable one, sit and try.

    25-30k Need a new phone for dad

    Samsung S21FE may be available during the next sale, it was ~30k during Deepavali. If urgent, look at Pixel 6a or Moto; the UI will be less complicated. Samsung A53 is overpriced for what it offers.

    15-20K Phone for regular use

    for most of us, 4G is adequate. Some may shift to 5G as fad fanfare continues and realize it is not worth paying a premium.

    31-40k Laptop recommendations?

    ultimately any emulator needs to run on the underlying hardware. Your budget seems too tight.

    10-15K Mobile phone or tablet for my mother?

    Depends on if she's using that phone for calls also. If yes, if you buy a tab, mental muscle memory will make her go back to the phone. But, if she's using it mainly for media consumption, a tab will be perfect.

    Android Apparently Samsung has disabled carrier aggregation in most of their budget phones.

    S21FE's update feedback is positive - supposedly increased the SoT. I haven't updated yet, my wife's phone (21FE); will probably do it tomorrow. May be. Unless one is using a small phone with a tinny battery like a Pixel 4a (or, the old LG G4, yeah used to have one incl a leather back :) )...

    21-30k Lightweight, small laptop suggestion

    there are good stories too, MSI is huge. saurav, for the stated needs any recent i3 would do, the only speed breaker can be the Handbrake (pun intended). You may need a color-accurate display which is impossible in that budget. Think how imp is that for your needs. If "yes" then only...

    Android Apparently Samsung has disabled carrier aggregation in most of their budget phones.

    Need not be. Nowadays most phones come with big batteries and SoCs too have become much more power efficient, net result is that we may not observe a noticeable difference in overall battery life.

    Windows Free Offline PDF Compressor for Windows?

    if the need is for a short duration, an Adobe Acrobat trial version should be enough. It has a specific option to save "reduced size PDF."

    51-70k Looking for a windows laptop with great battery life !

    I understood your query. The charging rate is not selectable, and AFAIK no one offers that. These days selling "faster" is easier, as it is deemed "better" and can be touted as an added feature.

    On Lenovo, generally stops charging at 60%, after which the power socket will feed the laptop in something like a trickle-charge mode.

    Dedicated thread for Only- Cyber Monday and Black Friday Deals- 2022

    if only for "fishing", Opera integrated VPN works well. Proton also has a free tier, that allows access to all sites - it disconnects automatically if "downloads" are detected, which anyway is not needed once one has the file.
