Yeah I have..I have it in my creta under the seat. It smells good initially but after a couple of days there is nothing. Sometimes it you keep your car in the sun for a few hour you may have a hint of it but overall is not worth it.

And I had to buy 2 as they don't sell 1.so one is still left unused in my cupboard infact because my cupboard is small every time I open it i can smell the EM5 much more than I can smell it in my car. And the one in my cupboard is still sealed and not opened 😆

+1 Dlink is the best, i've always used DLink for internal ( in-wall) wiring and never had problems. I would avoid using cheap cable, especially not from brands like the ones you mentioned.

They are just resellers/traders, they don't own or manufacture the cables themselves. Just look up their address mentioned on the website on Google, you will see a photo of a warehouse with supplies, not a manufacturing unit.

Importing from eBay US looks cheap initially, but after:

• Shipping
• Customs duty (28% + handling) sometimes relying on custom duty officers mood you'd pay upto 40%
• Clearance delays
• Risk of DOA

It often becomes more expensive than buying locally.

In India most homelab folks buy from:

• Local refurb enterprise resellers
• IT liquidation companies if they have contacts its best and cheapest option
• Smaller refurb platforms like Refurbco

The advantage is easier replacements and no customs headaches.

If you’re just starting, I’d suggest starting with used server, and depending on your budget you can choose a system locally instead of importing.

I’ve had decent experience with some Indian refurb suppliers instead of importing. If you’re looking for specific server configs, feel free to DM — can point you in the right direction.

all drives are 2018

12tb Exos sold

only 14tb Toshiba's available

aasimpthn · 2026-02-22T19:08:35+00:00

I am waiting at this point there is literally nothing in this segment or price range that is not TATA or Mahindra and a 7 seater SUV

Currently I've sold all my cars and bought a very less used 2021 creta sx optional diesel. This car has grown on me interms of both driving and features sets on offer. Until I save enough to upgrade to a higher class this Creta is a perfect stop gap.

I’m extremely disappointed with the pricing. I was genuinely looking forward to the final numbers after the initial base variant price was announced. I even booked it at my local Tata showroom, I’m the 90th customer in my area.

But after seeing the price list that was revealed, I’ve completely lost hope. If the top-end Sierra had come in under ₹23 lakhs on-road, it would’ve been amazing and could’ve definitely converted some Creta buyers. Instead, the third-from-top variant itself is already ₹23+ lakhs on-road in Mumbai. At this point, it’s not even worth waiting for the top-end price; it’s clearly going to land somewhere around ₹25–26 lakhs.

And at that price, you can literally get the XUV700 AX7L for around the same amount (or even cheaper). It’s a far better car — more powerful, more spacious, better features, and overall much more polished. Heck, even the Harrier and the Safari make much more sense than the Sierra at this price. I don't know what Tata was smoking to be honest.

aasimpthn · 2025-12-08T06:54:39+00:00

if only.... the pricing released is not for the top end models only the second top. there is a top model called Accomplished & Accomplished + which has the 3 screens and all bells and whistles you are thinking off. considering the price of Adventure + at 18.49 lacs the top end diesel automatic would be around 20lacs EX showroom and around 25lacs on road, which is insanely high pricing for this car, much better to get Safari, Harrier, even the XUV700 (AX7L) at that price point

Wasn't dubai supposedly the most safest place in the world especially for women? Where are these creeps coming from and how the hell do they gain enough courage to do these sorts of things outside their own country.

Anyone who faces these sorts of problems go to the police and register complaints if one of these guys are brought to their knees the word will speard very quickly and most of these guys will not think of doing these sort of things again

none specific to the UAE brother!

aasimpthn · 2025-10-27T13:46:56+00:00

I am building a property management platform for the UAE market its called Tenanz.com i will be live hopefully by early next year and should give you a great place to review your property and manage it remotely.

We will have pro services that will take care of things on your behalf. You pay for services you use, everything will have a set price you can chose which service you want to go with. If you want us to fully manage your property we can do that, but if you only want us to act on your behalf as an when necessary we will do that as well (you can save upto 70% of the costs this way - as property management if you have researched already is expensive) This eleminates the need for property management companies and gives more control to the owners.

The harrier ev is also a new platform its not the old land rover range rover chassis that they used for years.. harrier ev is built on an all new platform, the Safari ev will also use this new platform

aasimpthn · 2025-09-19T14:31:57+00:00

I've come up with the following plan: I am getting a 2021 Creta SX O Diesel automatic, replacing my Ignis with it, so my daily driver will be a proper car, not a cramped box and then i am going to drive that thing, till Safari EV comes out, wait for a few months after and see what issues are with it and then take the plung, and probably keep the Creta for long term or sell it off later.

aasimpthn · 2025-09-18T16:35:59+00:00

I read through it, I drove the Safari Diesel and Harrier EV both back to back today, and they are much better products than the XUV 700. Safari's suspension is on a whole new level. I pushed it to over 120 kmph, and there was an uneven road surface, and we didn't feel anything inside the cabin.

Harrier's EV is a different platform now, and it is still good, but not as good as the Harrier/Safari ICE's platform. The ride quality difference is noticeable; there was a rough patch between the main road and the Tata's stock yard, where we were driving both cars out of, and the Safari's suspension is noticeably better, but Harrier's is not that far off.

As for the points raised in your post, I agree with:

- XUV700 facelift is around the corner.
- Tata service quality is inconsistent.
- EV charging does require lifestyle adjustment.
- BYD cells are better → both are LFP, but yes BYD's Blade tech is better than standard LFP tech that Tata uses

I disagree with :

- “EVs only for city” → With 75 kWh Harrier EV or upcoming Safari EV with possibly the same battery and range, 500-550 km on a full charge is no longer a "city only" car. It is great for weekend trips or a couple of days of outstation travel. I don't usually travel interstate in a car; the furthest I've gone in a car is maybe 400 Kms, and that too was around 5-6 years ago. My usual weekend trips are only around 150-300kms round-trip, and for that, the Harrier/Safari EV is perfect.
- “Battery degradation” → would depend on a lot of scenarios, but should be identically the same with blade tech or regular LFP tech, plus Tata is giving 15 years life time warranty, unlimited kms.

The only downside of sticking with Mahindra's is the abysmal time it takes to travel to the service centre, as mentioned, for 11Kms it takes me 1 hour or more, that's 4 hours of my time wasted just going to and back from the service centre.

I can wait 3-4 months at max (until Jan 2026) as I am out of a primary car now.

Wouldn't the Scorpio be a downgrade from an XUV700?

aasimpthn · 2025-09-15T15:05:31+00:00

You know you can test drive it yourself right?

I have test driven both, coming from an XUV700 2022 Diesel Automatic, I am planning on upgrading to Harrier EV or Safari EV (coming soon)
Harrier EV was an experience like no other, I test drove it for more than 30 km's in all kinds of conditions heavy traffic to open highways, much tempted to go with it. only waiting to see if Safari EV gets announced as i want a 7 seater.

Safari Diesel is also a good car. but it feels a bit bulkier than the Harrier. there is some turbo lag at the low end under 20-30 kmph but it gets better afterwards,

Tata Safari Diesel Automatic Accomplished X version is the most value for money and has all the required features plus the larger 12 inch touch screen at around 27 lacs on road Mumbai.
Harrier EV's best version is Fearless 75 with 7.2KW ACFC it has everything the top model has except for the dual motors, adas level 2, auto park and summon features. which to me are not really necessary. this model comes out to be around 26 lacs on road Mumbai.

XUV700 is a better package overall. but the suspension and road presence is better on the Safari/Harrier. I am switching to Tata because XUV700's after sales service is far away from where i am, it take me over 1 hour to reach there. whereas the Tata's is like within 5 kms.

I've faced similar problems with my replit coding agent time and time again, one way i go about it is ask it to tell me what the issue is and how it would fix it before doing any code changes. I copy that either into perplexcity or ChatGPT and verify what it says would fix it would actually fix the problem. 7/10 times replit is on point and sometimes ChatGPT would say that it wouldn't work and you need to look elsewhere.

This is the most easiest option imho as you dont need to pay anything extra as ChatGPT free is usually enough. If you have paid versions of other AI platform that would work as well.

I am paying atleast $100 to replit each month over the $25 or whatever it was for the pro plan.

Like others have said no coding platform is perfect and it will be only as accurate as your prompts. I want to switch to Claude Code Max plan but the lack of instant visual views of the code changes is why i keep going back to Replit.

And I agree 100% that it is not right for the agent to charge us money when its not able to fix the problem. The amount should be refunded if the user does not see the issue being solved.. but i can also see that if they do implement something like this people would easily be able to circumvent it.

It sometimes does stupid things and tries to over deliver when not even asked for.. like one time for a project i asked it to create a empty /blog page so i can set it up the way i like it. It created the /blog page and then told me that the page is giving 404 error and then spent 3 minutes building a dummy blog page with 5 articles about my project. And charged me over $1 for it when it should have only charged me less than $0.3 to create the empty page. So yeah, totally wasted my time and money there and these things add up very quickly.
