    Budget 0-20k New to NAS, looking for a cabinet

    I know that Robu provides 3D Printing services: https://robu.in/product/3d-printing-service/ But I have never actually printed anything. I think using plastic should be a last resort since it may melt while trying to handle how hot our electronics can get here :P Last time I had to use a 3D...

    PC Peripherals What wireless mouse is everyone using and how long have you been using it?

    I used to have a Logitech G403 (wired), which developed double click issue after being used for gaming by my brother for a year when I was away. :p Now I have Logitech G304, for 3+ years. I love it. I had one of the M series that were available on Amazon, but they're too small for my liking...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    Wow, that sounds kinda bad. And not unexpected. I think they did that previously for one of their mobile chips too? I remember seeing it all over the news back then, as well. Honestly, I want them to succeed, if nothing, at least it'll make Intel perhaps focus more on lower power division...

    Budget 0-20k New to NAS, looking for a cabinet

    I always suggest Node 804 for this, but it's no longer available on the sites I kind of frequent... https://www.theitdepot.com/details-Fractal+Design+Node+804+Case+Window+(FD-CA-NODE-804-BL-W)_C5P30743.html And aside from the HH video @demikaun linked above, there's another kinda popular 3D...

    Android Small / Mini Tablets?

    What's wrong with that? I think Legion tablets are a bit more cared of than P-series? That said, I'm definitely not leaning towards Lenovo. My pick would be Samsung or Xiaomi, but none of them have good small tablets. Lenovo's offering is at least looking really good, spec-wise :p Are there...

    Sudden spike in ping while gaming... Need help!

    Okay, that bufferbloat result is kind of terrible for real. I think a minimum of C can be considered ideal for normal gaming. Firstly, get your router credentials using what @rockyo27 described. Then, try changing the channels and everything else already said on this post. Afterwards, you can...

    Sudden spike in ping while gaming... Need help!

    @the_beginner Good luck! Let us know how your testing goes. In case it turns out it's not your PC: If it's Jio's router, then number of devices could be a plausible issue since their routers are kinda shit. Also, if you're on a connection whose speed is less than the maximum speed of WiFi...

    Sudden spike in ping while gaming... Need help!

    It's most likely caused by interference. And/or perhaps bufferbloat, but since you don't experience it with LAN, maybe not? For the first, you can try changing channels on your router's page, and see if there's one that doesn't have ping spikes. Another thing worth trying might be to remove...

    Budget 51-70k need a laptop for college (coding, light gaming) decent battery life, lightweight, bright panel.

    I don't really have multiple suggestions, so I'll just share my experience with my laptop. I've been happily using my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 for college and normal day to day purposes. It lasts me 6+ hours on a normal day, but if I'm debugging and building a lot while coding, the battery life...

    Simple Guide to Share Mouse/Keyboard & Clipboard Data Across Multiple Machines in same Network (Barrier KVM Opensource)

    Syncthing checks for data using hashes and timestamps. So, if you copied in a way that doesn't preserve timestamps, it'll resync them all. I think. That's also the reason I don't transfer using USB from Android to PC, it seems to overwrite timestamps. Your best bet is to use sftp in this case...

    Android Small / Mini Tablets?

    I locally run Jellyfin, so Widevine is not really an issue. I just want a bigger screen that I can still carry around for quick Google Docs/Sheets or notes. As for Samsung, if it's from the A-series, the specs are kinda… bad. 3/4 GB RAM like they give in older A series is not enough at all...

    Simple Guide to Share Mouse/Keyboard & Clipboard Data Across Multiple Machines in same Network (Barrier KVM Opensource)

    I'm not sure I understand the question… In my case, I've my DCIM folder as the shared folder between server and phone. Every picture I take is uploaded to the server. It does support delta sync tho, i.e, if you edit the same file, only the changed blocks are sent. I've not really messed around...

    Android Small / Mini Tablets?

    What are the options if we want a small tablet, somewhat in the iPad Mini range? Closest one with good specs is Lenovo Legion Y700, but not sure if it ships to India. Another option I'm seeing right now is Redmi Pad SE, but its quite big at 11 inches. Redmi Pad Mini is also small, but the...

    Simple Guide to Share Mouse/Keyboard & Clipboard Data Across Multiple Machines in same Network (Barrier KVM Opensource)

    I use https://syncthing.net/ and that works well for simpler things (I use it to transfer camera photos from phone to home server). I also used to use Nextcloud, but that's rather resource hungry. So yeah, mostly SFTP using Wireguard and/or Syncthing. I do run other services for accessing...

    Simple Guide to Share Mouse/Keyboard & Clipboard Data Across Multiple Machines in same Network (Barrier KVM Opensource)

    Lovely write-up. I currently use https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap which is the successor to barrier. It's not production-ready yet, as they say, but I haven't seen any major issues. A bit off-topic, but: There are some DIY solutions too https://github.com/hrvach/deskhop A full KVM...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    The X Elite looks promising! I wonder what AMD/Intel will launch next to compete. They'll definitely compete on the more efficient end, as can be seen from Steam Deck or such devices. Intel Ultra looks pretty good too. I am so excited to see how this pans out. However, I think in the next few...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    I agree on all points. Battery life matters to me a lot too, and is why I'm holding out on purchases and will directly buy an ARM one when they become available. I just wanted to point out that x86 could also be a lot more power efficient, just that Intel and AMD are not that interested in...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    This is likely not going to happen. WoA will likely have backwards compatibility since that is what MS' is known for. And that is what corporate people need. It will not be a ground-up build at all, to the rest us, it'll likely be the same thing ported to another platform. Okay, I'll nitpick a...

    Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite - looks like the Windows world’s answer to Apple Silicon

    The laptop lasted around 6hr average on Windows with Battery Saver mostly on (so lower brightness). 8hr figure on Fedora is running youtube, or watching movies with earphones or doing basic document editing without much else running in background (maybe music or ssh, but those shouldn't affect...
