    (Fixed) Inverter problem - Isn't working at home.

    When they tested it at the shop, did they put a significant load on it? Or was it just a light bulb? Also, have you recently added any new appliances to your house that are now connected up to the inverter? You can turn everything off, see if it stops beeping and turn things back on one by one.

    Windows How to Download Large Files from Mega

    If you do this a lot, you could always use a debrid service. Real-debrid costs 9 eur for 3 months. Never used megabasterd but it sounds like the download was not finalized. You could try renaming the extension to .mp4 as a hail mary and see if it plays. If not, it is probably easiest to redownload.

    65" TV in the 60-80k range?

    Originally thought of getting a 75", but those ones with an acceptable quality panel seem to be priced north of 1L. So a good 65" LCD (QLED/Mini-led/whatever) seems like the sweet spot. I'm looking to pick one up during this Amazon sale, while the CC/EMI discounts are plentiful. The only thing...

    Windows Arc Browser

    Just from taking a look at the screenshots on their website, it looks like a browser for people who primarily use Pinterest/Tumblr/etc. That design language doesn't appeal to me at all. Can't try it yet cause I'm on Windows 10.

    Yeah, I just got the same email, haha. Guess it was just too good to be true.

    Installing games on a network location.

    I don't think loading times would be that much worse. Last I checked, the number of games that actually took advantage of nvme speeds and used tech like Direct Storage were just a handful. And since random read/write speeds matter much more than sequential, the 2.5 gbe connection should be more...

    Sudden spike in ping while gaming... Need help!

    This is assuming the PC's wifi card is dropping packets and experiencing lag spikes. USB tethering to your phone might add some latency but it won't be anything more than a few milliseconds. And if your phone's WiFi is better, and they generally are, you should have a more stable connection to...

    Sudden spike in ping while gaming... Need help!

    Assuming laptop/desktop are equidistant from the router, your laptop probably has a better WiFi card / antenna than the PC does. Open device manager and figure out which WiFi chipset you've got. If it is anything other than Intel, it is probably not that great. Either way, try updating to the...

    Health & Fitness 10 year old girl dies after eating cake ordered online for her Birthday

    How does a hospital fail to administer IV fluids to a patient who has severe vomiting/diarrhea? Isn't that the very first thing you would do? Isn't that something you would expect any rural clinic to be able to do? I'm just asking as a layman. One can understand these kinds of lapses in...

    Croma retail deals

    I just got the same message. It looks like they don't want us to get this deal, lol. I sent an email to customersupport@croma.com asking why they're raising unauthorized service requests on behalf of customers. But it didn't bounce, they just gave me another service request no for it.

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

    1) They should send you new cards in a few days, and maybe charge you a reissuance fee. But I would email them to make sure. 2) You should have a new card number within those 10 days. But if you pay using the old card number, worst case scenario, it fails and the money is refunded back. 3) There...

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

    That's nuts. All it takes is seconds for someone experienced to turn on international txes and max out your card on some CSGO skin website. That money is gone forever. And without ICICI admitting their fault, RBI won't help you recover it from them either. Also, how insanely insecure is your...
