    Pls suggest BLDC Fan?

    One important aspect is use of neodymium magnets. These magnets last longer. Fans with these won't lose their speed over time as fast. Atomberg has started using these in some of their recent models.

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    The answer in the context of EVM is not going to be easy. OTP memory by itself provides a good level of protection against tampering. But, then there are different types of OTP memory availabe. I am not an expert in this. We can try to explore the answers. 1. If able to get physical access, one...

    ICICI iMobile Security Glitch - Credit Cards Section In app is Under Update

    Then, that's certainly a serious issue. But, as you had your card in 'blocked' state you should not worry. Now, it's bank's liability. Nevertheless, I agree that such emails bound to create confusion.

    ICICI iMobile Security Glitch - Credit Cards Section In app is Under Update

    With ICICI multiple emails regarding usage control settings was always an issue whenever new cards were issued. This was never resolved. These multiple emails are unrelated to this issue. I too received a lot of emails when card was approved and dispatched long ago.

    Technology Risks to EVM?

    Yeah, the absence of networking connectivity reduces the surface area for attacks. But, there are other ways to compromise it as said above. As things stand now, we as public don't have any idea how EVM works. As a result, we have to take at face value whatever govt/ECI/supreme Court says about...

    FS: RAM 16G x2 DDR4 3200 Dual Rank Laptop RAM

    yeah, the amazon price seems better when we consider the included 3 years warranty...and provided seller would positively entertain the request in that time.. I deliberately list everything that I have to sell at low prices so as to not deal with warranty related hassles that may come later...

    FS: Storage Hardware 4 TB NVME M.2 SSD

    We both are talking about two different relationships. Let's get more technical 3 variables - rated TBW, Used Spare Threshold in %, Health in % Two ways to relate these 3 - a. Keep on writing, drive will record writes as TBW, some cells die - say 2% of total, drive increases the Used Spare...

    Truecaller not showing names, any alternative caller id app?

    Agree with the freedom curbing thing. But, this 0.1% point can be used in reverse by Truecaller. Because, we have a minuscule percentage who uses web version, it's not feasible for us for economic reasons. And, some more points, it's easier for them to show us ads and have higher user...

    Truecaller not showing names, any alternative caller id app?

    That's how it works. The app is used for crowd sourcing of data and finding common patterns and assign names to contacts or tag them as 'Spam' when marked by enough users as such. Additionally, it's easier to monetize app users by selling them premium plans.

    FS: Storage Hardware 4 TB NVME M.2 SSD

    In atleast three ways I shall try to reiterate that rated TBW is an important metric for consumers as well as manufacturers. It's not just a number. 1. rated TBW = LIFE of SSD. For a consumer in cases where manufacturer has equated the cell endurance to rated TBW, the drive controller doesn't...

    FS: Storage Hardware 4 TB NVME M.2 SSD

    No, TBW rating is not just a number. Some like Intel SSDs have their controllers programmed in way that they lock the drive in read only modes once you reach the rated TBW, despite the fact that NAND can take more writes. In this case no one knows how the firmware is gonna behave once the rated...

    FS: Storage Hardware 2TB SSDs - Brand New

    I have dealt extensively with such Dell parts. The SN810 Dell OEM drives being sold here are manufactured by WD for Dell and are OEM variant of popular SN850X. But, beware, this 2TB model has very low TBW (500 TBW). The health deteriorates a lot faster. Just to give an idea - PM98A1 2TB (OEM...

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    True, in business and international relations the meaning of the word 'ethics' changes as per convenience. For businesses, it's defined by the market and its stakeholders (govt, regulators, public) they operate in. We have numerous examples. 1. How Apple, the so called and self-touted user...

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    It's more of a practical move. Everyone knows how these crony capitalists in India have the dispensation in their pocket, and the current dispensation looks set to stay in power for the foreseeable future. So, why not give a clean chit and invest in the growth story and earn some bucks instead...
