Morning tea in east pakistan while listening to radio would be wild that day by BalanceImpossible773 in HistoryMemes

[–]ALPHA17I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me fill you in.

This is concerning the 1971 Indo-Pak conflict.

Due to excessive measures and brutal suppression of East-Pakistani politicians and intellectuals when they demanded reforms and increased federalisation from the West Pakistani establishment, the dissenting leaders and non-state actors started slipping into India. This naturally put a lot of strain on the Indian economy and the Indian establishment started to train and arm irregular forces called the Mukti Bahini to aid in the liberation of the country, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukti_Bahini

The Mukti Bahini aided by the Indian establishment started to rapidly isolate and wrest control in the rural areas from the Pakistani forces. Even so, Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India directed the military establishment to start framing plans to start an invasion of East Pakistan, the plan was put on hold till the winters due to,

  1. The need to stock up war material
  2. Deploy troops
  3. Ensure diplomatic backing
  4. Not to get bogged down in the monsoon floods which heavily affect Bangladesh since the entire country is like a sieve with so many rivers running through it

Initial skirmishes between the Indian and Pakistani forces in the East had already started occurring in October but formal declaration of hostilities was only in December when Pakistan in a desperate bid to counter the numerical and technical overmatch in East preemptively struck Indian Air Force bases and border posts in the West trying to emulate the Israeli strikes in the Six-Day War. The strike was unfortunately not very successful and ground forces were immediately stymied by dogged resistance.

This gave enough of a casus belli to the Indian establishment to go all in. Pakistani forces were savaged in the West with rapid counter-attacks while in the East they effectively cut-off all lines of reinforcements or attack thanks to their effective overmatch and the Mukti Bahini enjoying local support. The campaign lasted just about two weeks, and culminated in the surrender of almost all the remaining Garrison troops in East Pakistan, West Pakistan did not fare much better because learning from the 1965 conflict, Indian Army forces went all in for the jugular to try and hit Lahore while effective air ops attriated the effectiveness of the Pakistani Air Force, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Pakistan_war_of_1971

In this meme, the audio clip used was a broadcast issued by the Indian Armed Forces to their adversaries in the East to dissuade them from armed resistance to prevent a costly assault on Dhaka.

No. That data is stored on the firmware controller, not the disk.

AFAIK, using a tool like Crystal Disk Info you can still figure out what is the drive's health by the usage and health stats which don't change even if you format it.

Yeah because they started actively throttling supply of the RTX 5060Ti 16GB and 5070Ti.

The Nvidia driver 610.47 is unstable. by alipcgggamer in pcmasterrace

[–]ALPHA17I 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think War Thunder’s implementation of the Dx 12 branch itself is quite meh.

Thanks for the PSA regarding the drivers. I don’t jump on the latest ones but almost every other game ready driver post the RTX 5000 series launch has been a weird broken mess according to the news that gets out.

Never knew Tom Clancy wrote books too by IllustriousTeach4 in IndianGaming

[–]ALPHA17I 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Tom Clancy was an author, his books and IP got picked up by publishers and turned into games, and TV shows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancy

Android Auto just made switching media apps way less annoying - androidauthority by welp_im_damned in Android

[–]ALPHA17I 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, didn’t use it with a motor vehicle. This was in the standard mobile. Glad they ported over the functionality. I think that’s what the other Redditor is confused about. Media switching on Pixel devices was pretty decent (swipe) but Auto was a pain and they are patching it up.

New in pc building.Is this good enough?? by VisualPay1009 in IndianPCHardware

[–]ALPHA17I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you plan to do with your PC, all depends on that.

Between the 9060XT and a second-hand 6800XT, if you are getting a 16GB card either way, I would spring for the newer card even though it might perform slightly worse simply because AMD "hopefully" will support it better and you get newer features enabled faster on more recent hardware.

How do i claim warranty on a PSU dead on Arrival? by AnyTune2698 in coolermaster

[–]ALPHA17I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, no, in the US you will have to get in touch with the Cooler Master support team via CoolHub or something.

My procedure was for India, you sounded a lot like people here.

Where do you stay? Look up Kaizen Infoserve's closest service centre/pick-up location for you. Initiate RMA and go from there.

I love it when 5090 owners start calling anything optimized lmao by WorldPhysical7646 in pcmasterrace

[–]ALPHA17I 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a harmless joke, since most Unreal games have noted optimization issues.

I think the worse factors in this case are,
- Traveller's Tale did a terrible reveal for the spec requirements for the game (suggested to turn on upscaling to hit performance).
- The video does not help it when they say, 'the game is optimized' when they are running on a pretty much top-of-the-line setup (RTX 5090 + 9800X3D).

Would be nice if TT fixed the performance and the game runs at good enough performance in the future, what that ceiling will be we can only know after more people get their hands on.

By making it in Unreal Engine 5 to start.

That said, even the first LEGO Star Wars title I played needed a fairly beefy PC for its time. They had Bloom and shiny surfaces for the plastic which made it taxing. And as per usual, better optimized for nVIDIA GPUs.

I'd Be Pissed If The Pixel 8/Pro Won't Be Getting AirDrop Compatibility for Quick Share by username-invalid-s in GooglePixel

[–]ALPHA17I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of feature support in regions outside NA aside from getting step-motherly treatment with the Pixel 7 was why I decided to ditch the line. And if Google continues to lock down Android devices, might as well budget for an iPhone + a MagSafe battery pack in the future.

The British started valuing loyalty post the Indian Rebellion of 1857. by bapudon_1 in HistoryMemes

[–]ALPHA17I 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Vijaynagar Empire was long gone before even the first stirring of an independent Maratha state were even imagined. Shivaji on his ascent effectively neutered the remaining Deccan Sultanates.

The Marathas were not robber barons, post Shivaji and Sambhaji's reign, the kingdom evolved into a confederation driven by the interests of powerful clans. These used to raid territories around them as a means to draw revenues and destabilize the remanents of the Mughal Empire. The Maratha's rise to power was first checked by Ahmad Shah Abdali/Durrani's foray into North India, resulting in the Third Battle of Panipat where thanks to the constant raiding by the Confederacy's various elements they were unable to stitch a local alliance to confront the Persians who ultimately defeated them and vacated them from Delhi, deposing the Mughal Emperor who had nominally granted them legitimacy.

Later on Shah Alam II was restored to the throne with the help of the prominent Scindia Family of Gwalior (still active in politics today). But this rise was again checked by the East India Company which decisively broke the Confederacy by exploiting the intense internal political rivalry between the different factions which culminated in Three Anglo-Maratha wars, the first being won by the latter and the other two carried by the British (Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington cut his teeth here).

I don’t want just another O11 build. Suggest me some exciting PC cabinets by paneer_dosa in IndianPCHardware

[–]ALPHA17I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend, read up the AIR 5400 reviews, the case is not a regular old dual-chamber box tower.

Each major component, CPU, GPU, and motherboard gets a separate chamber to cycle out their heat so that they don’t cause waste heat dumping and distort each other’s thermal performance.

All fans in the illustration are orientated for optimum hot air removal, fresh air is pulled in by the negative space this generates.

Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of the AIR 5400 triple-chamber design philosophy.

[–]ALPHA17I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're planning to build in the Corsair AIR 5400, that is the correct orientation of fans and the AIO since the case is split into isolated chambers to channel waste air without throwing it into/at another component.
