    PC Peripherals What wireless mouse is everyone using and how long have you been using it?

    It's not just bullheadedness, there is real convenience behind using things that last. One gets used to the features, buttons, behaviours of our existing mouse, and uses it subconsciously without thinking too much about it. If we just keep trying new ones, when do we do the real work ?

    The bane of betting apps everywhere!

    The arguments of these "gaming" companies is that "skill"is needed to win in these schemes, not just luck. So it is not exactly gambling. Now anyone following cricket for more than one match knows how much it is skill and how much luck when predicting the number of runs one batsman makes in a...

    Budget 90k+ Powerful PC with Ryzen 9 + MB, 128 GB RAM, 4 TB NVMe, CPU, Cooler, PSU, UPS

    Whatever the number of monitors you plan to run, two of them can run on the iGPU of AMD 7000 series processors at 4k 60 Hz. As per AMD the chip can run 4, but typical motherboards host 2 ports capable of this : an HDMI and a DisplayPort. In case this reduces your GPU worries.

    In one para : what's wrong with our modern diet.

    Any piece of writing calling such studies junk, without doing it themselves, is much more junk. No study has been able to control the subjects to such an extent because it would cost a lot, and mankind is unwilling to spend so much to figure out what is good for their own health. But these...

    Budget 90k+ Powerful PC with Ryzen 9 + MB, 128 GB RAM, 4 TB NVMe, CPU, Cooler, PSU, UPS

    Just an idea, nothing wrong with your plan, but from 4-5 feet away, you may not be able to appreciate the details of the 4*3840 x 2*2160 resolution. And bezels, however small will come in the way. There are business projectors, which are kinda cheap because they don't have real HDR and their...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Why do I see someone assuming that their wrong opinion should be given a wide berth just because it is in minority? Easy to say now, that I have pointed out your mistake. People who already know would be extremely likely to cover this disclaimer in their original statement. Extraordinary...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    This shows extraordinarily poor understanding of vaccines. If a huge majority is vaccinated, it indeed helps the unvaccinated minority. https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/news/relationship-between-vaccines-herd-immunity

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Yes, absolutely. People don't understand the concept of vaccines : it is pretty much a herd immunity philosophy. That the vaccines got developed so quickly, and yet contained the pandemic so effectively, is nothing short of a miracle of science. If we had 8 years, we would have developed a...

    MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    Ok, your hope in human progress is much much lower than my own. I had such a 1% like setup with Symbian S60 , with its python interpreter onboard. Within a year or 2, Android surpassed the functionality I had with my S60 setup, and within another year iOS surpassed it, if I remember correctly...

    MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    Android is not a fully open OS by any stretch of imagination. It used to have much more FOSS, but still. I knew 10 years ago, and as I mentioned, I'm not keeping track lately. Ok, this is the 5th time in 24 hours someone forgot the context of that post of mine, so posting the screenshot in...

    MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    I didn't ask for alternative ways for "some of this" that works only where there is a "home" network you control. Did you miss the question I was answering with the post ? I had quoted that question within my post for easy reference. It was in a context where iOS users were giving ways of doing...

    MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    People who were giving iOS ways to do everything have not done so with the activities I need, so I guess iOS still can't do those things. My pockets thank you guys :) :) Sometimes an analogy is so apt, it's less an analogy and more the same underpinning of two phenomena. 1. Software that one...

    I was not talking about side loading to mask any data. Yeah, obviously, I was answering a question, which I quoted as well.

    MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    Ok, I've not been keeping in touch with iOS advancements, but for about 10 years I'm doing these things with Android, which seemed impossible with iOS those days : 1. I've been using kernel level (IPtables) firewall to prevent a huge majority of apps (inbuilt as well as installed apps) from...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    This is completely irrelevant. Let me put back the context here : 1. Uninformed anti-intellectual people here are triggered by the mere mention of experts, and start a rant. Without even arguing against the substance of what the "experts" say, which of course, can be wrong. 2. You support...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    When "experts" are mentioned, if someone primarily recalls the few problems out of the many more and bigger benefits of experts, that is not consistent with this position of "wonders of science" . E.g. if someone mentions food, and gets a response that food causes food poisoning. In spite of it...

    Firefox Stable for Android now supports 520+ Extensions

    Firefox is very nearly the only browser that uses a different engine than what Chrome uses. For the platform independence of the web, it is essential that websites don't start to depend on a single engine. The more people use Firefox, the more signal it will send to website developers that...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    I hope it will not be forgotten that all the instances in which the human civilization is a lot better than those days, is also due to the "experts" ? And those beneficial instances are overwhelmingly more numerous and impactful?
