    Where to buy Used Servers for HomeLab

    Yeah, a lot of firms that I work with used to give an option to buy back their old desktops after they get a new upgrade. But lately with everyone getting powerful developer laptops or Macs, they have stopped giving that option. I assume this is because of the growth of used pc market post...

    Where to buy Used Servers for HomeLab

    Hi, Does anyone know where can I buy used servers for my home lab and server ? Usually in Mumbai and Bangalore, I could get it from the IT Cos scrapping/decom their servers. Over the last 3 years, either there haven't been too many direct sales or the prices are insane. Any sources online or...

    All OS Suggest me choose a good Tablet/ipad.

    I would go with an iPad PRO. But that one is crazy expensive. You could try a Lenovo 13 inch tablet or a Samsung Galaxy pro for the screen size and the display. Best option would be a Amazon Fire tablet but those ones are not available in India.

    40K+ Best Mobile for about 60k to 65k?

    Pixel 8 at 50K seems to be the obvious answer. Best camera due to post processing software from Google/GCam. Longest support for Android updates as well.

    YouTube Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Ramping Up

    If at all your adblocks aren't working, get a VPN and switch your country to Russia, North Korea, Myanmar, Swaziland, Cuba etc. Usually it works as these countries don't have any video monetization for various reasons. Ads are fine, but watching an unskippable ad for a 3 min video is pretty...

    21-30k Best Places to Buy a Computer? Looking for Advice!

    DON'T GO For Amazon or Flipkart. Its not that they would be sending you older stock, but a lot of times, the prices are higher than what you can negotiate offline. If you are NOT from Delhi, Mumbai, then you can still try Primeabgb if you are looking for some components that can't be found in...

    Decent 55 inch budget 4K tv?

    can't go wrong with a Hisense 4K Google TV. Would recommend you to get speakers/soundbar/home theatre as the sound is pretty low as with all other TVs

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    Certainly not Atomberg. BLDC fans are prone to failure than your regular old-school induction motor fan and getting custom service from Atomberg will make you cry. Had 6 Atombergs, only 3 of them bought 3 years ago are still working. Orient & Havells are pretty nice.

    Fossil quits smart watches segment

    Bought one for my partner. These watches were good for fashion and nothing else. As expensive as an Apple watch but with delayed updates. Good riddance !

    20-25K 5G compatible 8GB/128 GB minimum, better then existing Redmi Note 11 PRO, budget 25K, delivery needed this week max

    Both of those things are possible in iQOO. I was using MI earlier, then Apple, then seamlessly switched over to iQOO so UI is never a big issue for me. If you prefer the familiarity of MIUI, then go for Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G 8GB. There is a 3K cashback no cost EMI offer on Flipkart bringing...

    20-25K 5G compatible 8GB/128 GB minimum, better then existing Redmi Note 11 PRO, budget 25K, delivery needed this week max

    I would recommend you look for the iQOO series. Much better than the Redmi Note 12 Pro with a great screen and a great processor. The camera for Redmi Note12 Pro is obviously great. I purchased one of their Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 series phones and I am so happy. This is a gaming phone and doesn't...

    Review Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 (2023) AMD Ryzen 7840U, 32GB, 1TB laptop review

    I agree that the Ryzen 7 M is much better than the Intel i7 M. I had the Ryzen 7 earlier and I liked the portability of it. It was great as a secondary portable device in addition to my desktop. Unfortunately I ended up buying the P14s Intel i7 due to a hefty discount and after 2 years, I hate...

    YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers

    Partially disagree. If you are watching it for pureight entertainment, you wouldn't mind ads. But start consuming long form content like documentaries, news, Indie movies, tutorials etc and you would never want to use YT. I loved a YouTube series about the Science of Music. It goes on to...

    21-30k PC for light programming

    Thanks, no laptops with U/mobile series. Usually I have bought a great mobo with a cheap CPU to upgrade later. That's what I would do now as well. Expectations revised :( Thanks, a NUC would be a great option but I couldn't find it anywhere in any of the offline stores here in Pune for...

    I bought a IQOO Neo 7 5g - https://www.iqoo.com/in/products/neo7pro Great display and has a fingerprint sensor on the screen itself which I find very useful. Has a huge battery which Lasts an entire day and has a ridiculous fast charger that takes 30 mins to fully charge itself. It doesn't...

    Are cooling pads for gaming laptops really helpful ?

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad and it has a known issue with extremely loud fans that don't cool the laptop enough. Most computers start throttle at high temps and this cooling fan helps the sluggish laptop. I bought a cooling pad from Amazon.in that certainly helped me. It brought down the...
