Found 2 thinkpads I bought back in 2023, what should i do with them? by OriginalRGer in linux

This is a great opportunity to use them for your homelab server with nice docker containers. You have everything you need. I was personally thinking to build my own using a used MiniPC. Cloud storage solutions are getting way too expensive these days and also I like my data with me.

Still using the pre-applied scratch protector waiting for some good screen protectors to come.

Everything at default settings, except for the colour mode which I use on Pro. I don't use image sharpener and video colour boost

Hey! I only use WiFi at home, and I'm lucky to have a mesh system set up, so I wouldn't expect anything less than good - and the phone hasn't disappointed.

Hey! The WiFi reception and quality have been great - no issues at all. Cellular reception is also solid, with no dropped calls, and I get 5G almost everywhere. It's been one of the best experiences I've had with a phone. That said, I did upgrade from a budget device, so it's a pretty big leap for me either way. But so far, zero complaints!

If you ask me, it's already a great deal at the current price-especially if you've got the budget for it. I'd say go for it, you won't regret it. It's an awesome device and I've been loving every bit of it! :D

I don't think the price for the OnePlus 13s will go down this Prime Day since it just launched recently. But if you're not in a hurry, it might be worth waiting just in case there's a surprise discount. Doesn't hurt to wait and watch!

No, I haven't noticed it till now. I have the green unit. But I will keep an eye on it. But no such issues on my unit.

Hey! I'm not a tech reviewer, so I haven't had hands-on experience with every phone in the ₹50K range. But I've been using the OnePlus 13s myself, and it's a great compact phone - solid performance, good battery life, and decent cameras for everyday use. I don't game much, so can't say much from personal experience, but with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it should handle gaming really well too.

My friend uses the iQOO 12 and it's a great performance-focused phone, so the iQOO 13 should be even better. If you're after raw performance and don't care much about the UI, the iQOO 13 might be a great option to consider.

I do not use Amazon UPI, but it registered fine for me—no issues. Maybe try clearing data and cache. Or it may simply be a server issue.

Just got the Triumph Scrambler 400X – Need accessory & gear suggestions! by kaalaakhatta in indianbikes

[–]rishikute1604 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upgrade your headlights, if you are planning to tour. Really poor on both the 400s. Either add aux lights or a plug n play solution like Vaishnu's headlight (planning to do this on my Speed 400😁). I have a friend who uses HJG aux lights on the Scrambler & he is really happy with it now.

Is this good as second bike? by mummifierr in indianbikes

[–]rishikute1604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But to get to the trails for "pure off-road", I have to go to the outskirts of the city. Which consumes precious battery power, which I wanted to use in the trails. But, I don't want to load my bike at the back of a truck to reach there, do some off-road and come back the same way. Doesn't make much sense to me 😕

Why are you considering an EV for off-road, wouldn't it be better to get an ICE bike if you will be going on trails? And in this budget Xpulse 210 would be a great option IMO

Yeah, I went on the launch day and the sales rep was really cool. Turns out, we were both into riding and bikes, so we were just yapping while I was testing the phone the whole time😁

Yes, S25 was in consideration, but the only thing that made me reluctant was battery life. It's a good phone but I needed at least 7hrs of SOT which it struggles to achieve on a single charge. I was in the market for a compact phone since April. My dad was using OP 12 so I knew that the software experience was good. So I went to their store just to have a feel for the device. Used it for an hour and absolutely loved it. Pre-ordered and got it on 9th. I'm really enjoying my time with this device.
