    Any p2p trader

    So update. I've just wrapped up 7 days of p2p crypto trading with USDT/INR. I thought I'd start with the new fiscal year to keep things simple (it was not simple). It was a slow start, I needed a current account which was very difficult to get on my name and I needed to learn FIFO double-entry...

    Review Consumer Harassment, the Mitsu.in way

    I always charge for NOC letters, for whatever purpose. In your case, I'd ask for a payment of at least Rs 10,000. But yeah, that's messed up. This thread will hopefully remain as proof for others.

    Guide Teardown and modification of Goldmedal's 16A Wi-Fi Smart Socket for Tasmota

    This one looks like a promising contender when I searched for something easier to modify with a larger enclosure for better thermals since that was a concern with the Polycab smart plug. A few screws and it happily comes apart: This one uses the Tuya CB3S module, which isn't compatible...

    The "Buy it For Life" Thread

    ^ Timbuk2 bags are really durable, I got one in 2011 and used it every day for about five years before I sold it because I needed something more corporate looking. It worked well as a laptop bag, book bag and photography bag. I wish I didn't sell it. It's probably the only non-tech purchase...

    WTB A cheap Raspberry Pi with LAN port

    They're pretty common, but be sure to check the polarity of the wires on the connector, the connector is polarized so it inserts only one way. https://quartzcomponents.com/products/cr2032-3-0v-19e-coin-cell-battery-with-2-pin-connector

    CPU/Mobo [DISCUSSION] AMD 4700S Desktop Kit

    At this point, any GPU you buy for this will end up being reused in a more modern system when you upgrade. Take a look at the first graph here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html A GTX 1080 will be held back in a PCIe 2.0 system, so you'll be looking for GPUs around...

    It's deference to the fact that Lego has consistently maintained quality for several decades (at the cost of affordability). It has always been a premium toy compared to others, whether today or thirty years ago. This toy brand survived because it promoted both creativity and encouraged young...

    Indian Sites for Electronics DIY Tinkerers/Makers to Shop for Tools and Components

    I've used https://indialocalshop.com/ and https://www.fastdep.in/ for fasteners and other hardware. https://hacktronics.co/ also has some common fasteners. Another is https://store.edsystems.in/ but they don't always have what they list in stock. I've been able to get some Misumi stuff from...

    PC Peripherals Intel Quad NIC availability

    I have both Intel's i350 and Broadcom's BCM5719, they were purchased from refurbishing dealers for Rs 5k each. They work well under proxmox, I've not had any issues, I have the quad port versions. Of the two, I prefer the Intel version because I can get a temperature readout through...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Air bed! Somewhere in South America a lifetime ago, in 2012. I had just finished moving into an unfurnished 1 room + bath for Rs ~5000 a month near the government hospital where I was posted. Salary was Rs ~40,000 a month and the only debt I had was that 17" Macbook Pro bought on emi. Life...

    Bangalore to Hyderabad relocation - area & schools query

    Perhaps like or unlike most other cities, there's a great disparity of expenses depending on your location and expectations. There are people renting flats for 320k a few kilometers away from people renting entire houses for 45k a month with both in the same pin code and school bus routes...

    Every drop of butter we consume reduces our lifespan: What are some alternatives we can use

    For any kind of cooking, I've been using Pomace Olive Oil. It's cheaper, you don't have to worry about a low smoke point or adulteration. I've also now taken to dipping samosas and "spring" rolls in oil then air frying them to make them "healthier." Oil sprayers also help reduce usage. ...

    Every drop of butter we consume reduces our lifespan: What are some alternatives we can use

    This is the best advice for anyone, anywhere of all time, haha. If we ever give up on using fats in cooking, we'll finally evolve beyond our endomorph silhouettes. So probably never.
