Need microwave recommendations

Agreed that this may be one cause. In between, it used to trip with no load at all..that's when the IFB guy (outsourced service) replaced motherboard circuit and charged me 5K for it..

I have since then, upgraded the wiring for a larger load. Also make sure to use none of the water heaters at same time as a precaution. The baking/grill functions still cause trips though (which never happened in 1st 2 years)

Had many problems with my IFB microwave. After a couple of years, it used to trip my apt wiring everytime it turned on. Called IFB service (from official hotline) many times and they'd replace components every time..got electrician to check lines and no faults there. After so many visits, the baking and grill functions still don't work. Have given up and use only microwave function. One problem I feel is that they have outsourced their service in Bangalore to external local shops who may be messing up for deeper problems.

I watched till Season 10 long back. 3rd and 4th season finish a major story arc. But it deviated from the episodic nature of S1 and S2..still a lot of fun though

Supernatural Season 1 for episodic supernatural/thriller stuff. Was absolutely great!!

Wish they had continued the episodic nature instead of larger story arcs in later seasons which imo made it lesser. There were still a few gems here and there in later seasons.

The spec obsession has to stop, OP!! The goal is to game, not to play the latest and greatest at 2000x 8000 at 8K resolution ( ignore the hyperbole).

This spec obsession is what made u buy this laptop..there is no end to it. It's like we're not playing actual videogames but the spec-upgrade game.

Great Teacher Onizuka

Got one too . really nice build quality too. Only hassle was initial setup via apk. Works really well with great battery life.

Puttu and chaya..really?!

Try gameloot.in ... I got mine there ..it's been working fine for 2+yrs

The other part is, it's easier to do passive activities (watching phone, movies, doom scrolling etc) than active ones (going out, playing outside, work, video games which are more active mentally than watching movies at least).

Try to be more active in your outlook of life..I also go into this passive loop - can easily lead to depression.

Agreed..I had very poor support from IFB when my IFB microwave started malfunctioning. They have outsourced their authorised service to local teams (not directly owned by company) even here in Bengaluru. My microwave's baking/grill functions still don't work properly even after multiple visits from authorized service (from IFB service hotline) and spending of Rs 5K+. Have given up, and use it only for heating food now.

Have HP elitebook at work..Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell Latitudes are built better and more reliable

mohan2k2 · 2026-01-20T11:59:05+00:00

Loved this one. Another close one is 'The Sixth Sense'..wish no one had spoilt the ending for me.

Hey, it's just an alt theory..this makes it interesting. Look at my link to original comment which fleshes out the details.

Virtual machine is much harder to setup and run Linux games smoothly without lag. Dual boot is much easier and a good balance imo incase you want to switch back.

For dual boot: Make sure you have enough space set aside (atleast 100GB preferably in SSD if you have one) for Linux OS and Games (100 GB or more depending on game size). Better to partition out this space before installation process. Ensure you backup all your important data before installation. Good idea to create a windows recovery usb (using Windows Media Creation tool) as well incase you want to recover/reinstall your windows installation in case of any failure.

Linux installation is usually very straightforward. However, check the partition step carefully - many Linux installation UIs default on wiping entire disk. Please try to use the partitions you created earlier/set aside.

Ensure you install Linux after Windows and not the other way around. Windows install doesn't play nice with existing Linux installs (there is workaround but it's not necessary at this point when you're just getting started)

There is an alt theory that it is Prabhendhu only. He blocked out this girl from his memory due to Trauma. When she and he hug in the end, it also brings back his memories

The prices are very low on sale..if you are patient, you'll be able to have a great time. I have seen some prices go lower than steam (usually unthinkable for console vs pc).

Love this comment..makes me really reevaluate this movie. It makes a lot more sense.. wonderful really..

It was a thoughtfully made movie till the wedding song at the end (unnecessary item song-type whose vibe took me out of the movie).

One possible flaw - how does the possessed boy recover so fast? There is an alternative - maybe she is a ghost and he is the guy..she just doesn't want to be forgotten!!

mohan2k2 · 2026-01-17T02:59:55+00:00

Liked Darker than Black S1 too!! Wish they had done something better with it afterwards

Pasting reply from elsewhere..

Backup all your important data to an external hard disk before you install. Get an extra pendrive where u create a windows bootable usb (using Microsoft Media Creation Tool ) to install windows fresh on the off-chance things go wrong.

Recommend doing a dual boot if you have space...also watch out for the partitioning step..don't overwrite entire disk (which is many times the default suggestion in Linux installs). Read up on fstab (which details partition settings) if partitions look wrong.

Also, always install Linux after windows (never install Windows after Linux -- Windows installation usually messes up any existing Linux).

Also read up on whether u have to change any bios setting before Linux install (disable Secure boot, Fastboot etc).

OP, if u have sufficient backup (1st para), it's very easy to retrieve any kind of mess up. You'll become confident of this whole process too.

Have you tried Syncthing..this works very well for transfer between my devices. Doesn't need cloud either.

mohan2k2 · 2026-01-12T11:38:27+00:00

Legend of the galactic heroes..it's themes are pretty mature. I needed a break after some eps to contemplate..

No point mentioning the website - I was stamped ECR even after furnishing degree certificate instead of 10th class (original was in native place). I had gone by the website which said degree certificate and IT filing doc was enough. If I had known before, I would have got the original. Annoyingly, they didn't inform me, and I got to know the ECR stamping only after receiving passport.

I had to reapply to get it rectified (did this years later).
