    Deco mesh with VPN?

    I think you need to be router mode to do this, most of us use in AP mode.

    Ubiquiti Access Points And Managing Them

    Have deployed 7x U6 lite in my (ex) boss house, with gateway pro handling the routing and managing the wifi APs. We wanted to put a switch but could not, due to unavailability, and instead opted for tplink 150w poe I would suggest to look at omada instead if you have not invested money on...

    The US sues Apple for monopolistic practices

    The issue with Apple is that they enforce their lock in mainly with hardware. You cant use their services on non Apple hardware that well. Google enforces it with software but they do give ways out - but this is not enough IMO. The main issue is they are aping Apple in some things. Hope new...

    Budget 90k+ Advice and cautions while buying laptops online

    I had recently found a seller who sells BNIB open piece laptops which are returns in Lamington Road. Once you have left the shop, sales are final. Avoid buying anything from the internet for such things, you are more likely going to be holding up the short end of the stick @iPwnz FYI, similar.

    PC Peripherals Netgear antenna damaged

    Yes, you can get the part, places like Toyo should have it in Mumbai. However will the length be ok after stripping the wire and putting the connector is the important thing

    PC Peripherals Directional Wi-Fi antennas (DIY or otherwise)

    No, would suggest to change location of it or add an AP or mesh. Some people are selling the decos cheap, YMMV

    Budget 51-70k Looking for a small size long life laptop

    Am using a Zenbook 13 (5600U) and it holds up fine. However, newer models are nearly around 1L (mine was around 85k). Check for clearance sales in croma where you might get this for 65k LG Gram is too flimsy for my use, but for CXO levels its fine. Also its heavily throttled. Dell latitude...

    Storage Solutions NAS For My Home

    Assuming 5-6TB in uncompressed, would suggest to check how much does the size become if compressed. Would suggest to upload around a dozen or so photos to your google photos account with storage saver enabled and check size after downloading. For the videos, would suggest to upload to youtube...

    Budget 0-20k Good USB C Dock for Minimal Setup

    An addendum to your second point The honeywell has 2 USB C ports - one for power supply and one for connecting to the laptop, which also charges the laptop. So the honeywell can be kept far away and is highly portable as well, hence not creating a mess. I have bought 2 just for this reason...

    Can this Tewtross converter work as a good DAC

    Then be highly suspect of what you get. Could be a fake. You had mentioned that this was in your budget - could you check if the same item is available on other AMZN sites

    Can this Tewtross converter work as a good DAC

    It can be used if your source is one of the two - optical tolink or coax spdif, but I would be suspect over its capability to drive larger cans. Would suggest to post its datasheet if possible

    Rant about corporate information security practices

    Another company that is in Mumbai has an equally puzzling directive is that - if you are a guest, and before you connect to their wifi, they will check your computer for antivirus. If you have a free one like defender, they wont allow. Puzzling enough, quickheal is allowed, but not MS defender...

    Budget 0-20k Good USB C Dock for Minimal Setup

    Look at the Honeywell dock, it fits your requirements (not sure about the 100W PD) - I am using it. Its about 6-7K on Amazon. Had recommend the same to @gourav but he wanted 4k60 which it did not.

    Two remote office ,Single tally server

    This is because of the way Tally works, and over VPN, its recommended to use any remote control protocol instead of directly accessing over SMB Have worked with companies using Tally for over a decade and have done quite a bit of R&D on it. Would suggest to look into Tally on Cloud from...

    Proxmox Thread - Home Lab / Virtualization

    Depends on the application you are running and if it tries to ascertain if a GPU is present. Else, not an issue.

    Rant about corporate information security practices

    Does that company look like its pulling out all steps towards security OR trying to only do it on paper? You can be a judge of that. BTW, Quickheal uses bitdefender engine but thats heuristics based so wont work as EDR. hence why free defender is far better than quickheal and the securite...

    Rant about corporate information security practices

    Ah. I can understand this, the file is being scanned - or maybe even multiple times! Dont bother and dont open your mouth, you might get the responsibility and its not easy Well, MITM does take time and effort Considering the alternatives of Quickheal and Sequrite and other crapware...
