    How to receive a courier anonymously

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if there is a way for someone to send me a package without knowing my address. I want to get something from an old contact without meeting him or revealing my address to him. This is just a one time thing. I do not want to create a PO box address. Cheers

    What happened to Notion ink?

    I visit their website once every few years, just to see what they are doing. It is now run by someone named 'Sean' and is full of software reviews. No mention of Rohan or anyone from the original team. They were selling windows devices for a long time after their failed attempt at an Android...

    UPI app recommendation (alternatives to paytm)

    I have been using paytm for about 3-4 years. I signed up to pay for Uber but started using it for utility and online payment. While it does the job, their customer interface has degraded to the point where is now feels more like a TV/sales channel rather than a financial service. Just thinking...

    Budget Above 40k Samsung's pricing strategy

    I have been in the market for a phone and was looking for a good deal on one of the higher end Samsung models. I was eying the s21-5g. The price had gone down to ~55k during diwali but I decided to wait a little longer hoping it will fall further. Now that s21 FE has been released, Samsung has...

    Android Mobile can't send/receive SMS messages

    I realized this today when the courier deliveryman turned up at the door and demanded an OTP. The mobile, a LG v30, hadn't received any messages in the past few days. After some more experimentation, I discovered that it can't even send messages. I am quite certain it is a software problem...

    Are dedicated 4g hotspots devices faster than cell phone wifi access-point?

    I sometimes have to use my mobile's hotspot functionality when the landline is down. Speed is so-so. I was wondering if a dedicated device (like Huawei E5576) would would improve things. I am using a jio sim.

    Android USB playback volume low

    I am trying to play music from my LG v30 using an OTG cable and a DAC (which supports Android). The volume is very low. I had the same problem with Linux but readjusting the volume in alsamixer fixed it. I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to fix it.

    Contactless credit cards (approvals without PIN)

    Seriously WTF. At first I thought it was a system malfunction, so I called up the service center. They told me that they have sent me a high-tech card that doesn't need PINs at POS. She even lied that the contactless payments is limited to Rs2000 per day (which I would have been ok with, but it...

    Other 4G USB dongle vs Mobile tethering by USB

    Is the protocol over the USB wire same for both? I am looking for the cheapest way to convert a 4g connection to Ethernet. I already have a LTE capable mobile with a SIM. I was wondering if connecting the mobile via USB to a 4G router (e.g TP-LInk MR3020) will work.

    Online UPS that is quiet

    Are there online UPSs (double conversion/sine wave) that don't sound like a turbojet engine? Don't need much power. 500 watts would suffice (laptop/comp/monitor/headphone amp/dac). I have a 3kva leibert but the fans are too noisy. Unfortunately, I live in an apt, so tossing it into the garage...

    Any experience with safegold.com

    I am thinking of adding some gold to my portfolio and came across this site when looking for digital gold. They have a tie up with ICICI, my primary bank, so I don't need to go through another account opening and KYC. I was wondering if any one has dealt with them and can share some information...
