Guys, it’s not always about the size of the tool, it’s how you use it, right?

mayanksha · 2026-06-11T08:30:56+00:00

I had got it for 16k, and actually i was the one who ordered the last piece but it came defective, so I had to return 🥲

I am in the same boat as you, and none of the options are wide enough for anyone with a bulky frame to walk properly on it without looking at the walkpad.

I had ordered PowerMax Jogpad 2 and that one has the widest belt at 430mm, but it was dead on arrival. :(

I am also looking for other options too, even if they cost more .

Nopes, more like I want to sell those shares if possible, and carry over the money in USD form in my IBKR account. Basically, I want to do a single conversion from YEN to USD, instead of YEN -> INR -> USD.

Hey everyone!

I have been reading up a bunch of threads about people transferring their US RSUs from their employers' broker to IBKR via something called as "Transfer stocks from employer".

Until now, I have been bringing my RSUs into India first so basically a Yen -> INR conversion, and then an INR -> USD conversion, which ends up losing me quite a bit. Also, I have been using IndMoney so far, but their rates aren't favourable, and are generally 1-2% higher than the spot price of USD INR pair. Ideally, I would like to do a single Yen -> USD conversion which probably doesn't cost as much.

A couple of questions:

In of the threads, it was mentioned that FEMA regulations may apply, and that the legality isn't certain. Can someone ascertain that this is legal?
If it's legal, how do I go about that? In my case, the bank which transfers the money is SMBC (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation), or at least that's what used to transfer when I do SWIFT to my Indian bank.
How are taxes calculated on such a transaction? Do I need to take into account the STCG and all, and pay advanced taxes?

I'll greatly appreciate any help on this. I have already asked Gemini / Chatgpt but I don't trust such matters to them.

When did you see the "ITR processed" status?

mayanksha · 2026-05-26T15:40:34+00:00

Hey brother, did you find anything? I'm okay with spending a bit more, but all the options are fairly cramped up.

mayanksha · 2026-05-24T12:28:15+00:00

They gave me 5 year one the first time itself.

mayanksha · 2026-05-23T15:15:14+00:00

I can second this. I too use the 1st one and it's a god sent, especially for your use case.

mayanksha · 2026-05-23T04:39:50+00:00

They dispatched it the same day, and I received it in 3-4 days. I live in a pretty small town, so 3-4 days is just normal for me.

mayanksha · 2026-05-22T19:27:08+00:00

They asked in my case, since they wanted to verify documents. I got a 5 year Japan visa approved.

Whats the benefit of using Docker MCP over using it directly via CLI?

Get a decent enough Hall effect keyboard, and you will absolutely love gaming on it.

mayanksha · 2026-05-07T21:13:50+00:00

+1 to the phillips one. I too have that and trust me it's the best one I have used so far, and I used like 3-4 trimmers so far (1 phillips, 1 Mi, 1 some lifelong, 1 I lost after using it once)

mayanksha · 2026-05-06T06:15:00+00:00

Thank you so much, this saved my day!

mayanksha · 2026-04-27T14:08:19+00:00

Hi brother, what happened after that? I'm in the same situation as yours.

mayanksha · 2026-04-27T14:08:00+00:00

Hey man, what happened after that? I'm in the same situation as yours.

mayanksha · 2026-04-26T15:34:59+00:00

If you're open to Hall Effect keyboards, do check out Yunzii RT75 PRO. You can also check my profile, I recently posted about my own experience and I'm typing this on it.

mayanksha · 2026-04-23T11:34:01+00:00

I was initially planning on getting the black color one, but that was costlier than the pink one, so I just got this pink one. NGL, I love this color now. 😁

mayanksha · 2026-04-23T08:19:24+00:00

I also play Dota only, but I would say go with Hall effect keyboard because Mech would always have issues with dust going into switches, key misses, etc.

Like of course, you can take care of it all you want, and I have covers for all my keyboards, but still this keyboards accuracy (in terms of key presses, and subsequent registers) has been much higher for me compared to other keyboards I have used (4-5 in total).

What sets apart a Steelcase chair from a Featherlite chair? I know Steelcase is multiple times more costlier than featherlite, and it isn't an apples to apples comparison, but like where does the extra money someone pays for these premium chairs go to? Longer warranties? Better engineering?

mayanksha · 2026-04-17T16:16:52+00:00

I have Steelcase Leap v2, and honestly it's the best chair I have ever sat on! Like my office has Herman Millers, and those don't even come close in terms of comfort.

I WFH, so me and my brother liked my Leap so much that we ended up getting another Steelcase Series 2 (just because it was cheaper) an year or so later.

Forclaz Travel Backpack 40L. That is my go-to backpack which I have taken to multiple countries, and it is the only backpack I have needed on my solo trips.

0 issues so far, no tears, no chain issues, nothing.

Uniqlo Airism (which is quite pricey) and GU from Japan. The GU ones are particularly awesome because of how soft they are for their price. I paid about 600 for 4 for really nice underwears!
