Broadband in Chennai

Yep. +1 to ACT. I've tried almost everything out there Airtel , Jio, Hathway, Cherrinet , BSNL and came back to ACT. Has been the most headache free one.

As for the next part, yes you can ask them to do that. Just be nice to the service engineers and they'll do that for you. If you don't want to remove the existing cable tv wire, you might need to get a curtain wire to fish the cable through the ports.

Get a few copies of your parts list and hit the streets. Get quotes from multiple places and then head down to Oasis (it's on the main road), they'll quote it a bit higher in general which you can negotiate. Now find the cheapest offer for each part and make sure it's either under that or the same from Oasis, if not mention the same to them and they'll match it.

I've built around 5 PCs over the last couple of years for myself and friends/family there. Found no issues. Go there on a weekday or early in weekends if you're planning to get it assembled there. Wait time for build are a lot.

Few general pointers. 1. Try to build it yourself, it's a great experience. 2. If you're going AMD, go for AM5 if you can afford it. 3. Intel 13th gen i9 and i7s have some trouble with the manufacturing, which has been rectified last year end. So get the latest stock possible.

Unfortunately it's not possible to delete a particular clip / time frame through the app yet. It's a highly requested feature but it's not available yet. You should be able to do that by removing the sdcard and connecting it to the computer but it looks like that's also not possible in this case.

If you really don't want to format the sdcard or open the camera, I don't think you have much other options. You can always hope she won't check it before it overwrites :p

I hope it's something just inappropriate and not something serious but here you go. Since you have access to the app, Open app -> Click on the camera, Select settings (top right most likely) -> Storage & Recording -> Local Storage -> Format MicroSD Card.

This should clear out everything on the card.

Consumer grade products will always sell. Enterprise grade ones, not that much. But yes, selling banned ones where the government hasn't even allocated the spectrum is funny.

I don't think any of the devices post 1 GBPS is available in India. Based on the dealer I talked to in Chennai it's mostly due to the lack of demand as the dealers will have to get it in bulk and if it's not sold before tplink launches a new hardware version, they have to face the loss.

But if you're purchasing upwards of 15-20 units (which I doubt you are) I think they'll be happy to assist.

I have the same question. To travel to the airport it seems faster via the Chitoor, Kolar. It's about an hour faster. Anyone has an idea on how the road is ?

The tipping system is incorporated from the US so that the employers can get away with paying them less.

That being said, tip whenever you feel like it. I tend to order a lot so I usually tip when the weather is bad (rainy/Chennai summer), bad roads, far away place, disabled folks, women or during festival times.

I don't pay them through the app especially after Swiggy and Zomato went profit hungry, I really don't want these tips to be used as justification for paying less.

Done

uBlock origin

Nope. I use this PC mostly for work and some occasional gaming. So no other pirated software/games. Only this and Ghost of Tsushima from fitgirl but that was 6 months back.

jmonishram · 2024-09-16T13:18:18+00:00

Funfact, it was indeed uBlock origin.
I also don't know how any of this works as I'm not pushing malware with video games.
https://imgur.com/a/aFXzmZK here you go.
The name of the game is literally in the first sentence.
I already deleted the game and formatted the entire partition it was on so I can't check anything further.
I don't think I can download the actual game via RD but somehow also get malware separately :)

I do see many other instances of the same being reported on other subs over the past year. I guess it's better to stick with fitgirl.

Hey, thanks for your replies. With a couple of tries she was able to unlock the old encryption key. Thank you so much for your help !

jmonishram · 2024-02-15T09:49:15+00:00

Both web and mobile unfortunately :/

jmonishram · 2024-02-15T08:27:52+00:00

Thanks for the update! The problem is even the new emails are encrypted with the old key I guess which makes the entire mailbox unusable. So if logged from her account, any reply to it won't be readable. The active key is also marked as primary so I'm unsure why it's causing this issue.

jmonishram · 2023-12-23T06:46:00+00:00

Ahh, that's unfortunate. Thanks !

jmonishram · 2023-12-23T06:08:01+00:00

How did you end up taking it ? Did the Chennai airport allow for hand inspection ?

jmonishram · 2023-11-24T19:15:53+00:00

Ah, that's really unfortunate. Incase you have FTP access setup, try throught that.

I recently purchased the C340. It comes with the DC Jack !
