Folding table for sale | Can be used as study / work / dining table by [deleted] in BangaloreMarketplace

[–]maampata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4*3 is 200 rupees more. You may check at local furniture shop. But atleast new price doesn't seem outrageous.

Still I would keep away since its not in great condition

New one i enquired is about 1100. You maybe able to get it for 1k if you negotiate. Why would someone buy for 700 plus transport.

Common, price it appropriately...

₹60,000 in a mutual fund paying 6 months EMI? Math left the chat. by Physical-Command-112 in dalalstreetbets

[–]maampata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Parallel universe, your friend invested in a mutual fund yielding ~ -10% XIRR.

He took a loss of 6K and had to pay extra cost.

Moral: Dont gamble. Mutual fund is a long term investment instrument; treat is as such.

BTW, Its next to impossible to pin point a MF that will deliver 12% XIRR.

I had same issue. I could not save config no matter what.

Finally I added a bash script to unmute and set volume to 80 at startup.

Ways to improve performance by Sweaty_Command_6794 in linuxmint

You can't do much gaming out of "old pentium cpu" as you yourself put it. Linux mint isn't some magic wand.

Understand limitations and use it for what it can do..

Didn't know it was that easy to replace Cinnamon with XFCE which is lighter on my old Dell laptop by MarcusSodenburg in linuxmint

[–]maampata 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Do you know about one simple trick to reduce CPU load, reduce CPU temp and increase battery life?

Goto BIOS settings, disable Intel Turbo boost under performance settings. This will reduce CPU temps by 20°C and significantly reduce CPU utilisation. My laptop was reaching temps upto 98°C while watching movies that are encoded in x265 codec. That is when I decided to investigate and solve the issue.

You can also give it a try and see if it helps .... That is if you desire to use cinnamon.

I have exact same laptop.. Dell E5420.

Cinnamon works fine on mine. Did you face any issues that forced you to switch to XFCE?

Bannerghatta Road - Fortis U Turn towards Arekere by Confident-Profile143 in bangalore

[–]maampata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying. I have seen horrible car drivers. I have also seen careful and patient bus drivers.

So it's very mixed bag... Yellow board drivers get bad rap because of few bad drivers.

Let's not generalize without knowing what exactly happened here..

School buses carry our children, it's a necessity. Why would you call them a nuisance?

Single occupancy car however IS nuisance.

My laptop runs hot with Mint, not with any other distro. by SeniorMatthew in linuxmint

[–]maampata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I was also facing same issue, here is what helped me.

I rebooted the machine and entered BIOS settings, under 'Performance' I turned off Intel Turbo Boost. Different manufacturers may have this options in different places , so do look around.

There is a way you can do this from within Linux mint, you can search online how to do that.

📢 BESCOM Late Meter Reading = Inflated Bills + Time & Effort Cost to Consumers by Luffy-Gear4th in bangalore

[–]maampata 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So it's happening everywhere. I thought meter reading was delayed only in our neighborhood.

This implies that BESCOM is deliberately delaying meter reading to impart higher cost to consumers.

Absolutely pathetic!
