    15-20K Reliable phone with good build quality for Dad.

    While I agree with you in a general apply-to-all-people setting; the things like RAM, processing power, slowdowns, limited storage capacity, etc. had never been a bottleneck for him. He is currently using some old Nord 128GB with ~ 90GB free and the phone is ~2 years old at this point; has...

    15-20K Reliable phone with good build quality for Dad.

    Any reason to go for 8GB + 256GB model? I think 6GB + 128GB would work equally well for him with ~ 5k saved.

    News AMD Radeon 9000 series officially announced to go on sale in March 2025

    Although the performance is excellent for the price, and I’m planning to upgrade in a few months, I’m hesitant to buy an AMD GPU again due to stability issues and other random problems I experienced with my 6700XT (ASUS TUF RX 6700 XT OC Edition). For example, I had screen flickering and...

    When nVidia f--ks up so badly that standard 8-pin power connectors become a feature worth advertising.

    0-20k SFF/smaller than usual pc case need advice

    Another option is Galax Rev-03. It is around 22 liters and can fit microATX motherboard and ATX power supply. Zeb Woodan is the same case rebranded by Zebronics. IIRC the original case design was SAMA IM01. Although CH160 is a good case but it is around 20 liters and can't fit mATX...

    Monitors is Monitor developed fault & non-repairable?

    Have you tried changing the display cable / port. Although it is unlikely to fix it but still I would try changing ports/cables, just in case.

    Laptops Troubleshooting a very weird issue - Blank Screen on any sound (ThinkPad E14)

    I tried changing the power plans, still same issue. Figuring out that audio is causing screen blackout was itself very difficult. Like you plug in USB Pen Drive - display cuts out, you're thinking that maybe connecting peripheral device causes it. UAC prompt comes up - screen cuts out. You get...

    Laptops Troubleshooting a very weird issue - Blank Screen on any sound (ThinkPad E14)

    I have come across a very weird issue with a friend's laptop. The screen goes off for 30 or so seconds whenever any windows sound comes. I have just now reinstalled the Windows and the problem is still the same. Plug in USB - Screen off (black) for 30 seconds. Plug in charger - screen black for...

    Home air purifiers effective for improving indoor air quality?

    Yesterday I cama across "Electrostatic Air Purifiers" on the following Reddit thread. Does anyone have any idea about it? It advertises that there is no need to change filters or anything. Just wash it. Zero maintenance costs. It is advertised that it catches extremely tiny particles (even...

    Adding sub to JBL 104-BT Monitors

    Make sure it duplicates the audio signal. There is another identical looking cable which splits it into speakers & microphone.

    Adding sub to JBL 104-BT Monitors

    Dunno why it felt nostalgic while reading my old posts, maybe because I have chagned cities since then and it felt much earlier than 2022 in my mind. Thanks :) Any ACTIVE subwoofer with analog input (3.5mm, RCA, etc) should work. One thing I remembered after reading the my old post that the...

    Adding sub to JBL 104-BT Monitors

    I had a similar setup for a short amount of time. JBL 104BT + Edifier T5 (IIRC). I got the subwoofer for some 8k during Flipkart Sale (2020/2021) so went with it. I used a 3.5mm 1 input - 2 output thingy (which duplicates the signal - see image below & link). I connected one output to JBL104BT...

    Discussion Regarding the Correlation Between Monitor Resolution and GPU

    I have come across this advice countless times on Reddit (r/PCMR, r/gaming, etc.) and various other forums - Unless you have a high-end GPU, you should not invest in a 4K monitor. This seems to be a default response whenever someone posts a build advice for a PC with a 4K monitor and a mid-tier...

    It is normal human tendency to fear what they don't understand. For example, centuries ago, no-one dared to sail far away from land in the fear that they will fall off the edge of the earth if they go too far. To each his own, I guess.
