I've got 2 Mi A2 phones, which are running Calyx OS, and I love them. They're both about 3-4 years old and are serving all my mobile computing needs. But I dropped one of the phones about 3 years ago, and damaged the screen in the bottom left corner. It was still working perfectly, with a...

I'm getting a AMD 5500GT AM4 -65 watt processor and a Gigabyte B450 DS3H M/b. I have the stock heat sink of my 125 watt AMD 8350 processor. It has a copper core, and heat pipes, and looks much more powerful that the wraith stealth that comes with the 5500GT. I was thinking of using that instead...

I'm looking for a phone that doesn't serve me ads, has a good camera. The reviews from 2020/21 praised the S20FE's camera's. How does it's camera hold up today? I know it'll probably not get an Android 14 update, but besides that, how does it compare to other phones available at close to...

Should be better than a 1030. Anything under warranty would be nice. If I can't get something in a few days, I plan to pick up a new 1030. Should be willing to ship to Pune.

My router located in a rather inconvenient place, and I can't move it unless I call an electrician and pull a few cables. Which is not something I want to do. My buildings got power back-up, but it takes about 30 seconds to kick in, during which time my router goes off. I'd like to use my...
