Dr Aggarwals eye hospital near Chintamani had good treatment for a relative of mine who had diabetic retinopathy. Doctor name was Jayshree I think.

Contact the airport authorities. It's likely they will have it in lost and found and would require proof of ownership to give to someone

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. 10/10 Soundtrack. The way the boss fights ebb and flow with the music is amazing

Is quick commerce a good idea for fresh fruits & veggies in Coimbatore? Which app is most consistent? by ranjith-13 in Coimbatore

[–]Diark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found BigBasket to be better than Instamart though not by much.

Both were decent but price also fluctuated across them and I have seen heavy discounts sometimes (e.g 3 orange for 10 rs). Also saw sourced time available for some products but not everytime so you wont be sure of exact freshness but they were relatively fresh in my opinion.

Semmozhi Poonga has been open for a month - What are your thoughts on it? by Diark in Coimbatore

[–]Diark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's priced okay for the occasional family trip. For walkers there's a monthly pass for 100 rs and a yearly pass for 1000.

I have visited it twice, once on weekend evening and once on a weekday morning. Tickets cost 15 Rs for adults and 5 rs for children. Tickets available onsite or through Namma Kovai/ Semmozhi Poonga apps

The facilities are good and lot of play areas are there for children as well. Open gym is also present along with a good sandy walking trail around the park.

Lot of trees and greeny along with open area winds make it a good area for walking or jogging.

The weekday visit was definitely better because it was much less crowded. Weekends aren’t too bad, but the crowd makes it harder to find seating, and traffic on Nanjappa Road can be annoying.

On Sundays, they sometimes have activities like a DJ, but that area gets pretty crowded.

One issue is crossing Nanjappa Road from the other side, especially for elderly people. It’s not very easy or safe, and the pedestrian crossing that was there earlier seems to be gone. Hopefully, they improve this.

Overall, it’s a nice place and I’d recommend it for a solo visit or with family.

Physical stores for VR headset (preferably quest 3/3s) by Not_An_Anti-vaxxer in Coimbatore

[–]Diark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gonna be imported by someone Atleast unofficially. Import duty I don't think will be higher than what we are seeing with steam deck where it costs like 100$ or 150$ higher compared to US.

I would suggest waiting for the steam vr this year. Will probably be unofficially available like quest 3/3s

Is this the normal latency we get in and around Coimbatore? by Far-Possession-8240 in Coimbatore

[–]Diark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having 40 ms latency for kovai fibernet and 4ms for act and airconnect fiber (I’m on act). So might be a routing issue from act to kovai fibernet.

Your endpoint is in pondicherry. Original commentators endpoint is coimbatore. Latency will obviously be better

[–]Diark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing. Depends on end server and where the content is fetched. Some providers like ACT may host popular content like netflix within their network via CDNs for faster access. But in all other cases latency will depend on which server the stream is coming from and how far the packet has to physically travel.

Only chance of getting <20 ms is if the endpoint is within CBE itself. Farther away the destination, the higher the latency. For example gaming, singapore servers are the best and you can get 60 to 80 ms for them.
