A relative is going to China for a trade fair. What items can I get cheaper there than in India?

I had a very rudimentary setup at some point. Mi HEPA Filter + A fan covered in a cardboard like box iirc? Hardly few k rupees then.

@OMEGA44-XT Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out S23 and will avoid Moto due to their bad update policy. @DestGod Nice to know you had a good experience with DeX. A/F/M series phones does not support DeX irrespective if they come with OneUI Core or Full. I'm leaning towards S23 or S24...

Hi, I'm searching for an Android phone that can replace my current devices: phone, laptop, and PC. It needs to support feature like Samsung DeX and have a reliable update policy. I'm eyeing the S22/S23 models. I've heard that some Mi and Motorola devices offer a similar mode, but I'm not sure...

That is why this meta-analysis is junk to me. I have read many studies on UPF over the years, and not a single study has been conclusively able to prove anything. You cannot infer any conclusive evidence until you control the subjects completely to the point where they eat only what you provide...

"Overall, using the GRADE framework, 22 pooled analyses were rated as low quality, with 19 rated as very low quality and four rated as moderate quality."

That meta-study is junk, just like all the other studies it is based on. How did they all come to the conclusion that ultra-processed foods (UPF) are responsible and not obesity/lack of nutrition? It is safe to assume that most people who eat a lot of UPF have a body fat percentage higher than...

Is UPF the real issue here? I doubt. It's obesity and not being able to meet the recommended macro intake. All suggested 32 harmful effects are applicable for obesity as well for people who are not able to get enough nutrition. UPF was never the problem.

I use a third party adapter instead of using batteries.

Serum Institute did contract manufacturing for Covidshield. We did not develop this vaccine.

It depends on where you live, what your doctor advises, and also the availability of the vaccine for newer strains. I was reading a study where they recommended timing for the influenza shot based on your location. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7703812/ "The experts acknowledged...

Many folks think vaccines mean zero chance of getting sick, but that's not the case. Vaccines just give your immune system a boost in fighting off diseases, and measuring how well they work is tricky. We mostly have to guess based on studies. Still, vaccines have done wonders in wiping out...

Can we claim warranty without an invoice?

@superczar Yes, his comparison is flawed and he also weakens the device's security. He can use NextDNS or Adguard DNS to block ads and privacy invading DNS requests. He can also use VPN-based local firewall app which will allow him more control without compromising the Android security model.

He likely uses Android with root access enabled or a custom ROM with a firewall app like AFWall+ flashed to the system partition. Personally, I'm not comfortable with that. iOS and Android don't come with root access enabled to prevent malicious apps from escalating and gaining system...

Comparing various operating systems and devices is pointless. Some folks find happiness and get their work done productively using the metadata approach, while others prefer the file system approach. Neither is better than the other. It's just about what suits you best.

Join a slot of YT Premium Family plan <400 rs/yr, easiest choice. SmartTube had issues: update notifications, occasional streaming errors, casting problems. Now, Dad uses official YouTube app on TV, no more calls for help. Hehe. :)

@Sobirvs You need mental help.

Any tablet under 30k with perf close to Snapdragon 7Gen+2?

Every day, the current govt. strives to emulate Sasta China! The privacy community faced a major setback this week as Skiff was acquired by Notion, forcing users to migrate. I've been busy replacing the Skiff email address with a Proton email address everywhere this week. Fortunately, I used a...
