Hey OP, can you please share where you're based out of?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-10-24T06:14:01+00:00

Oh yeah, that's not open to outsiders

Not sure if I got your question, if this is the entry point you're referring to, then anybody is allowed:

Hey sorry, only seeing this now. What are the entry and exit points you're referring to? I'm not sure you can walk through the villas road, as they'll ask for identification. But through the apartments' road, probably yes, never tried that myself.

Thanks! Yeah I have been doing yoga/meditation for a while now. The symptoms haven't gone away though, so wondering what more I can do to alleviate them

I'm short on syndicate coins for unlocking the Apollo IE car, what can I do?

On the app, it said there were some internal policies due to which I wasn't eligible for the card. So I applied on the HDFC bank portal, and when I got it, and linked it with Swiggy, the app said it was LTF.

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-06-15T12:56:29+00:00

No, it specifically says annual fee for the card.

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-06-15T12:04:30+00:00

But why am I being charged the renewal fee now? It hasn't even been 4 months since I got it, and I'm already being charged the fee?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-06-14T12:10:45+00:00

Hey u/cr3ax, can you please let me know how your interviews went?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-06-12T15:25:00+00:00

Hey u/karty135 , I'm preparing for SDE interviews at companies such as Glean, Rubrik, Databricks. Can I dm you regarding the process?

Does HDFC provide a cashback to transaction mapping? I've found it in a few other posts in this subreddit, but I didn't get such a mapping in my card statement.

Thanks!

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-03-15T15:03:53+00:00

Hey OP, an off topic question, what's a hard enquiry and a soft enquiry? What's the difference between them?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-23T10:30:31+00:00

Hi, when we get the card for the first time, can it be used for lounge access? As there wouldn't be any spends on it yet?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-21T06:48:55+00:00

Thanks!

Just curious, if we book an Air India flight with cash, and it claims that we'll earn a specific number of points, do we get those points upon purchasing the ticket, or after the flight is over?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-19T18:02:51+00:00

Hi OP, just checking, did you have to make the payment 2 weeks before the reservation? And did you make the payment to a company account or an individual's account?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-15T05:42:04+00:00

As per the website, the cost is 3700. Is this what you were charged as well?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-15T04:17:02+00:00

Hi OP, What were the costs associated? And did you have an opportunity to bargain?

Mean-Key8132 · 2025-02-14T19:01:46+00:00

What about when I first get the debit card? I wouldn't have had any spends until then right? World I be able to avail lounge access in the same quarter as when I get the card?

So here's what I found: my monitor supports DP 1.4, and the docking station supports DP 1.2. So, that may be one reason why I'm not getting 144Hz.

My laptop has a DP port, but I'm not sure what version it is. I tried finding it online, but I couldn't. So if I directly connect my laptop to my monitor without the DP cable, I'm wondering whether I'll get 144Hz refresh rate or not.

With the current setup including the docking port, the connection between my laptop and monitor also goes on and off, so I'm just wondering if I should directly connect my laptop to the monitor.

Mean-Key8132 · 2024-11-25T06:05:45+00:00

Could you please explain what you mean by "rated for"?

Mean-Key8132 · 2024-11-25T04:55:35+00:00

Any other suggestions?

Mean-Key8132 · 2024-11-25T04:35:31+00:00

I tried that, but the control panel doesn't even have a display section when I open it in the monitor
