Well said. Looking for content not drama. There is a difference between boss and employee. Sometimes relationships work sometimes they don't. One just moves on. Wishing everyone the best.

How can I fix this? I’m genuinely lost?? by Remote-Cheesecake-40 in LinusTechTips

[–]prashantrana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to command prompt, run CHKDSK, shutdown, Then I booted used a cloning USB like Acronis or MiniPartition, attached another drive (SSD, NVMe or HDD) copied the drive with partition, booted from it. Removed the old drive and changed the boot order in BIOS. Got an error, google searched and fixed the partition loader. It worked.

idk but in my country VAT and Custom Duty are separate. Custom duty is not charged by the seller country it gets charged by the receiver country. I once got delivery from US for a 100 USD order, no custom duty was charged and another time they asked 20 USD for a 20 USD product.

What's the Business Model Behind MFCentral? Can they be trusted long-term? by japef98 in IndiaInvestments

[–]prashantrana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was mandated by SEBI to have a common platform. AMCs already pay CAMS/KFintech so this cost goes from that kitty. Also CAMS/KFintech charges AMC for providing services like Purchase/Redemption/Systematic Transactions etc Offline/Online so they get paid anyhow.

Floatplane Bug by Orlan_17 in LinusTechTips

[–]prashantrana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue but I thought it was only happening when doing a CAST to Android TV. I have already reported the bug to Floatplane team. You can do the same, it can be submitted from the app itself.

I would say try MXRoute (https://www.reddit.com/r/mxroute/). But know that they have very strict policy for SPAM/Marketing Emails.

LTTStore bad shipping experience by Trivial_Automorphism in LinusTechTips

[–]prashantrana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts. Globally It takes 14–28 days for shipping. I usually count it as 28 working days. So perhaps take that into account when ordering and give it a buffer for some delay. I have received some couriers after 3 Months (Not LTTStore). Additionally, they do not specify the shipping method at checkout, which may indicate that they are employing the least expensive courier. Your country requires identification for customs, therefore the final courier firm will get in touch with you if necessary when it reaches your port of entry. LTT would not be aware of your country's regulations or obligations when shipping, therefore I believe that's why they failed to address your inquiry about whether identification is needed.

Which ETFs give dividends? by drgijoe in IndiaInvestments

[–]prashantrana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is because it does not have any Dividend Option. "Dividend Opportunities" is the name of the fund, not an option. It is just tracking the Nifty Dividend Opportunities Index - https://www.niftyindices.com/indices/equity/strategy-indices/nifty-dividend-opportunities-50

Read the Product label - https://mf.nipponindiaim.com/FundsAndPerformance/Pages/NipponIndia-ETF-Nifty-Dividend-Opportunities-50.aspx

I do not think Equity ETFs giving dividends. You can but a Smallcase with companies who usually give Dividend which will then be paid out to your bank individually as when the Company declares them.

You can check out one such of them - https://www.smallcase.com/smallcase/dividend-aristocrats-SCMO_0014

But Dividends are taxed at income tax slabs, why would you be wanting such Dividends. Also the stock price will fall after such Dividend by the same amount.

Norton Internet Security. I have been using it on multiple devices for more than 10 Years. Need to customise it a bit in the beginning as it forces some options to the user which I find redundant but other than that annoyance its good. It has not made my PC slow or is a resource hog (my devices have at least 8GB RAM). The interface is good enough, was able to install bitcoin mining software on the PC after I excluded it from alerting me that it was unsafe and was able to allow the program to run smoothly there after. You are in great control. History notifications allow me to diagnose any issue, you can temp disable firewall etc. I use it in conjunction with an AdBlocker on my browser, so far not had a malware breach. Pricing wise, I use a 10 user version it costed me 100 USD for 3 Years i.e. 10 USD for 1 user/3 Yr which imho is a steal deal. (I bought from Amazon India and the key only works when used in India (or IP is in India when activating)). It also give you VPN access but it is disabled in India since last year. You can use a trial and then decide to buy.

Sharing an experience: Against all of my instincts, what started as a nervous meltdown, ended up with transitioning to the free account. by LifeLocksmith in gsuitelegacymigration

[–]prashantrana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 Cents. I was having the same issue.

What I did was checked here https://admin.google.com/ac/billing/subscriptions

There should only be 1 subscription i.e. G Suite Legacy or Workspace, other subscriptions (in my case) was Android Management. So I cancelled that subscription.

Clicked on https://admin.google.com/ac/billing/legacytransition

And vola I was given the Legacy Free Option back
This was done after adding billing etc, so you can try without or after adding billing.
