This question is not about a product but I couldn't find a more appropriate section. Does anyone know anything about bharatecomerce.com in Navi Mumbai? Are they reliable? (Note that there's a single m in the name).

My motherboard has a USB type E header for connection to a front Type C socket but my cabinet doesn't have a Type C front port. Amazon has Type E to Type C connectors but they start from about 1k upwards. I think this is too much. AliExpress has them for as low as $1 (INR 84). If our countries'...

How big is your Windows 10/11 partition? Do you feel it's too small or needlessly big? Would you change the size if/when you get a new drive? I know how much C: space I need for my own use. I don't play games any more and I don't install huge programs in my computer. The 90GB partition I've...

I'm not a power user and the only times I used third-party CPU coolers were when I wanted something quieter than the stock coolers of pre-Ryzen CPUs. I'm now in the process of choosing parts for a new computer for a friend who will use it primarily for video editing with DaVinci Resolve, and...

This comes from having to help someone choose a monitor but perhaps it has more to do with the associated GPU and CPU. The friend is getting an RTX 4070, Ryzen 9 7900, 32GB RAM and a 27-inch monitor, mainly for video editing and playing MS Flight Simulator. In general, a higher resolution and...

I haven't bought a new monitor over the past several years and the market as well as user expectations are always changing. I now have to decide on a 27-inch FHD monitor for a close friend who's always depended on me for his hardware requirements. The primary use of the monitor will be for...

I've bought about a dozen Mi TVs since 2018, both for home and for relatives and friends. Out of those, two of them had the backlight fail - one of them after about 15 months and the other after 4 years. I'd like your help in re-evaluating the reliability of Mi TVs. Is this failure rate...

The title really says it all. Does anyone know about this online shop based in Thane, MH? Are they reliable and good to deal with?

I'm thinking of building a desktop for my wife from old parts that I've accumulated over the years.. I have everything except the monitor. She doesn't need a fancy rig - just something for browsing, youtube, playing music, typing, and the like. From a first quick search, I find that the MSI Pro...

I want to buy an active speaker system and have my eye on Ahuja XPA-3010DP. Online prices range from 24-28k. Moglix is one of those offering the lower prices. I've long heard of Moglix of course but have never ordered anything from them. Are they reliable in terms of efficient service, quick...

I'm looking for a free file manager for Windows that I used to have but lost. Now I can't even remember the name. Here are some of the features that are important for me: - Two-pane side-by-side window (don't remember if it could have more than two panes) - Can show folder sizes, not just...

I don't know if this question belongs in this section, but here goes: I want to revive an old laptop - a 15-year-old Samsung RV509 - for use by someone who doesn't need a fast modern model. It still works fine except that the battery's quite dead of course. Can anyone recommend a brand of...

My 2TB HDD (Toshiba HDWD120UZSVA) with ~700GB of data crashed due to a severe power fluctuation that overwhelmed the UPs. The drive is still accessible and I managed to copy a few GBs of data from it. But it's slow going, probably due to bad sectors from the crash. So far, I've tried only one...

Can you please share your preferred method of backing up a Windows 10 installation to a bootable USB drive? I know there's a ton of information out there and I've read some of them. What I'm asking for is your personal experience and preference in terms of speed, ease of use and restoration...

Inexpensive re-branded "Indian" SSDs like those from EVM, Ant Esports, Zebronics, etc. have been around for some time. Is anyone here using or have used them? Can you share your experience, not only about performance, but also about reliability and durability?

Does anyone know about jetlaptechnologies.com? They seem to specialise in custom-built PCs but also sell parts. Their location is given as Nehru Place. I've gone through their T&C but didn't read every single word. The impression I got was that their terms are self-centric rather than...

I need a few microSD cards for projects that involve data sizes from a few MBs to a few GBs. Unfortunately, low capacity cards are practically non-existent online nowadays. Buying multiple cards of 32-64GB feels wasteful. Some devices don't even recognise them. So, if you have some low-capacity...

I'm in the process of re-organizing and trimming my data in preparation for moving to a new computer with all-new all-SSD storage. It will run on Windows 10. Over the past 25 years or so, I've accumulated a lot of files backed up by dumping the contents of a directory to a backup folder marked...

Does anyone know the difference between Redmi and Xiaomi series of TVs? Since their debut in India in 2014, I've bought nearly 100 phones and more than a dozen TVs from the company. These are for friends and relatives and I don't make a profit from them. Now they are offering Redmi and Xiaomi...

WTH? That's the most ridiculous T&C I've ever heard of. The sender should be able to send a piece of rock and claim the insured amount if it's lost in transit.
