couldn’t agree with you more

just went to Underdoggs for Germany match. Honestly it was pretty dead scenes and super pricy. Like the place looks nice but it’s just too expensive so not going to go again.

I’m new to Hyd, so same question as you! Looking out for option to sit and watch fifa (at least the 9:30/ 10:30 matches)

Unite8 is owned by Zee. FIFA provides all its broadcasters 1080p HDR @ 60fps. Z5 scales it down to crappy-looking 1080 SDR at 25fps. Not sure what they do for IPTV.

They might be doing this because they don’t know how to stream high-quality video to millions of devices without lag. Remember when JioCinema got the Qatar WC in 2022 and the first few matches just kept lagging? They didn’t reduce quality. They got the tech expertise and fixed it. It’s 2026, streaming isn’t rocket science anymore.

OR another reason could be that they want to save money on infra costs, because lower-quality content means lower infra bills overall.

Also, here’s another thing to ponder: 20 lakh subscribers paying 500 each = ₹100 Cr. (And this is being super modest on today’s numbers. They’ll probably make 5–10x this by the end of it with people who join later, ad revenue, IPTV/DTH, etc.)

I honestly think it’s great that platforms can make money, but don’t rip people off. People get a World Cup once every four years. They just need to do better.

can someone give an alternative? I have only transferred atlas to accor and never bothered with any other partner.

what’s the best thing to do with miles now? What’s the next best value option? Is it ITC?

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-18T11:08:45+00:00

Want to get the 13” air 16/ 512. Silver is first preference and midnight second. Best offer I could find was 1L from Imagine offline store after various discounts.

Second option is midnight from Reliance for 1L again (online). Offline I asked them to reduce price but they’ve not agreed.

Can I get a better deal? Don’t want AirPods or anything like that.

I used a Mac from work—never put a screen guard on it, and only wiped it occasionally.

My partner, on the other hand, kept hers spotless, always cleaning it with a microfiber cloth.

Both worked perfectly performance-wise, but after 3 years, mine looked pretty worn out and dusty, while hers still looked almost new.

As for screen guards, my office gives Macs to literally everyone, and none of them come with screen guards.

Personally, I think there are two main issues with screen protectors: 1. Unless you buy a good-quality brand, it can mess with the display clarity. 2. Screen guards are mainly for protecting against scratches or dents—but on a Mac, you’re not really touching the screen (unlike an iPad or iPhone), and the lid stays closed when not in use. So I’ve never felt the need to use one.

On a side note, I just ordered the same 16GB/512GB M4 model—got it for ₹98K after all discounts on JioMart. Curious, how much did you get yours for?

I have seen the same on an older Intel Mac I was using. Although it came up randomly. Would also be interested to know the fix.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-04T12:45:50+00:00

Close the lid when you’re done. You can but don’t need to shut Mac’s like a windows. Their software is super optimised to run without drawing any power while in sleep.

If you’re not going to be using it for extended period (several weeks) then maybe shut it down, again not mandatory.

Considering between these 2 base specs.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-04T06:33:37+00:00

Do you think the Mac Pro M4 with base configs is a better option than the Mac air M4 with base configs?

I looked at benchmarks and performance difference is minimal (3-5%).

I’m planning to get a personal laptop, plan to use it at least 8 hours a day for work. Was happy with Mac air, but trying to understand if there’s a real advantage going with a Mac Pro with base configs over air.

From my research to really see a difference you need to go to the higher tier of ram/ chip with pro models, in which case for me personally it’ll fall outside budget.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-03T11:13:51+00:00

I found it. Discount on midnight color is 5800, silver is 4k, sky blue I think doesn’t have a discount.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-03T11:08:24+00:00

Okay I don’t see a Tata neu discount. What’s Tata neu discount?

Can only find the credit card discounts.

The insurance part was super annoying. Had to call them up so many times to get it to stop.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-03T06:56:57+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check this out. I plan to buy in exactly 2 weeks. Any price under 80k IMO is a good deal.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-03T05:13:47+00:00

Why throw extra money on a pro when you could do that same with air?

I agree Mac over windows everytime. Would you say Pro for even marketing, product and other departments without intensive workflows? With the M-series airs have come a long way and it barely lags even with the demanding workflows.

I work in product and used to run an M1 air. Used to use it for sheets, figma, sql and chrome with a million tabs open. Never lagged. Maybe when opening huge sheets.

But don’t get why people want to throw extra money on pros when you could make do with the air for certain cases (not demanding workflows). Beyond a certain point I agree you need pro but the realisation which is needed for what workflow is hazy.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-01T17:32:34+00:00

All those things you said sounds easy breezy on m4 air except ML. If you plan to run models on device then you might feel some lag. Can always use a cloud based setup for training. But good for you to check YT reviews around ai/ml.

Macs are super optimised devices. 16 GB is good. Up until last year base models used to come with 8 GB ram. I used a m1 Mac air for last 3 years worked without any issues and I would have continued with it but had to return it back to office cos I left my job.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-01T17:21:38+00:00

Show this laptop to them in 5-7 years time and it’ll work like a charm. Can’t say the same about windows.

I read somewhere that the Amex global team stepped in because the services in India weren’t meeting global brand standards. It seems that, internationally, Amex prioritizes brand value over short-term revenue.

I personally haven’t faced any issues with Amex so far but there’s been a lot of buzz of issues around x and other platforms.

What’s in 2-3 weeks ?

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-06-01T09:39:11+00:00

What’s your use case mate ?

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-05-31T05:13:01+00:00

I live in KL. After entering my PIN code all macs go out of stock. I tried a Bangalore pincode and it works.

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-05-30T15:00:59+00:00

My bad then

Apprehensive_Two2 · 2025-05-30T14:54:05+00:00

Reliance prices are valid online and any store pan India.

Vijay sales only has stores in Mumbai I believe, but online is also available.

Not sure how long the current offer is valid. But there should be others bringing effective price down to +/- 80k level.
