    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    It doesn't look like app allows the speed to be set to in between say 0 & 1 or 1 & 2. I just tried it, and the app's slider will allow me to place the slider between 0 & 1. But, after a few seconds, the slider automatically positions itself at level 1. Same happened between level's 1 & 2 as...

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    Disclaimer: I am not an electrician, nor do I have much knowledge in these. I replaced my old fan with the Atomberg one myself. I didn't remove the old brick type fan regulator, just left it at maximum speed. So far no issues. I had planned to re-wire the fan switch without the regulator, then...

    How do you switch mentally between programming languages

    I am not a full time programmer, more of a mix of development, devops & sysadmin work. I often have to switch between 3-4 languages. I am at a position where I can't even remember the syntax of a function. Sometimes, I may not have touched a language for several months, then suddenly would need...

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    Just wanted to share my 1 month experience with the Atomberg Renesa Smart+. I emailed their customer care asking why the new fan shows a runtime of 257 hours. They replied saying they have forwarded my question to the concerned department. After that, I didn't get any response. I also didn't...

    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    I bought an Atomberg Rensesa Smart+ fan from Amazon. After installation, the Atomberg app shows that the fan has a runtime of 257 hours even though I used it for less than an hour. Is this expected or did Amazon give me a used fan? Also, is it possible to reset the analytics?

    Cross platform note/Journaling solution ?

    So far, I haven't had a need to change notes in mobile. I always add/modify the notes in PC. I use mobile only as a reference, to read the notes to refresh my memory. Disclaimer: There may be better apps than FolderSync. It's just that I started using FolderSync Pro years ago, when they were...

    Cross platform note/Journaling solution ?

    I am a big fan of Obsidian. I would say use Obsidian if you want to ensure cross platform compatibility and to make it future proof. Even if Obsidian stops development, you will still have access to your notes (since its just a folder of markdown files, images, and other files). And on top of...

    Monitors Please suggest a 27 inch 2k monitor for gaming & work under 30k

    I had this Acer 21.5 inch SB220Q back then, which is probably their cheapest model. It just died completely after about 1-2 years of use. It just won't turn on. It was out of warranty (had only 1 year warranty I believe). This occurred when I was abroad, not in India. I was in a hurry to get a...
