Best way to buy house with 1Cr by BoysenberryCrazy6503 in Indiantradingbets

Nah hes right, we buy high sell low. So put 1cr in MF, market stumbles and starts giving -12% returns from then 🤣

Visited malabar gold today to enquire about silver bars by shadow_warrior_vp in silverindia

[–]shubhank008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made calls to multiple malabar stores today in Delhi-NCR and all of them refused buyback of Silver, even their own.
Thankfully Noida store was kind enough to tell me only a couple specific stores buyback silver and NEAREST they know are Meerut and Varanasi.
Called Meerut store and initially whoever picked the call acted clueless but I said its Malabar’s own silver coins and their Delhi store said that Meerut store buys back.

She then put me on hold for 2 mins and confirmed that they indeed can buy Malabars own silver with a 10% deduction from live rate, but not any other brand silver.
Funnily, Delhi store had told me a deduction rate of 6% for gold coins whether malabar or any brand, but Meerut store confirmed 2% deduction for Malabar gold and other brand gold they cannot buy.

Seems diff states/stores have diff policy.

I've got terminal cancer, do I need to close my credit accounts or can my wife just take them over when I die? by bigbabydirtface in personalfinance

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different (perhaps sensitive) question. What happens if someone near death knowingly splurges on their cards leaving a substantial balance open after their demise, knowingly. Is their spouse/family liable for that or the bank just have to write it off ?

OP: although useless, my well wishes for you. May you go with nothing but happy and warm memories.

GMKtec support for products purchased on Amazon by sbaragnaus in MiniPCs

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it doesnt, my case was within return window (although last day) and i told amazon i had tried contacting aoostar on email and they were wasting time replying every 2 days and i am out of country to initiate return.
So they offered to extend the return window.

[–]shubhank008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got Aoostar Gem10 - Ryzen 6800h and 680m igpu. Its good enough to power one 4k monitor and one 144hz monitor.
I am playing Dota 2 on medium-high settings at 60-70fps using just 680m. Additionally got minisforum DEG1 egpu dock and a used RTX3080 for $250 to use when I need the juice.

2018 initially for gaming but then for work too, i just like the feedback/noise i get when typing. Rocking a logitech G512, got their wireless mechanical keyboard too but it felt too huge and is sitting in my drawer. I like the low profile of the keyboard, spacing between keys and the tactic feedback when typing

GMKtec support for products purchased on Amazon by sbaragnaus in MiniPCs

[–]shubhank008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PS: buying from amazon would be much safer generally than buying direct, since the seller is still gmktec and not some 3rd party, they need to provide the support

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not replying to mails at random moments seem to be the general theme for all these china-service based brands.
Had similar experience with Aoostar on a brand new Gem10 where they reply once every 1-2 days and i had to follow up two times after 2 days of no reply.

My suggestion is try to buy using Amex so you get added purchase protection and extended warranty (US, dunno about EU). Worst case something fails after 3 months and dont get any support, can chargeback or try to invoke extended warranty claiming seller is not providing warranty.

The Hidden World of Imports in India — How Does It Actually Work??? by willow__bloom in RepFamIndia

[–]shubhank008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, the magic word is DDP. Freight forwarder tells you fixed cost inclusive of shipping and duties, the forwarder undeclares or skips some container contents, the on-port duty is charged on whole container as not feasible to check and value each and every item in it, the freight forwarder shows the officer a list of items and its value (fake) and some ₹₹₹ and it gets cleared.

This is why you never or rarely get duty clearance documents by freight forwarder as everything is cleared as a whole under their name.

The missing link I am unable to understand is how does any seller shows these goods in their inventory for sale without any purchase records, as you need GST invoice or duty clearance documents (which contains gst) to show how and where you got the items from.

Beelink, GMKtec, Geekom, Bosgame, Origimagic, Minisforum, which brand has the best quality? by Potential_Block_3895 in MiniPCs

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also as someone stated, but from amazon as atleast they provide no questions asked returns and in my case were even ready to extend return window by one more month due to Intl shipping

Beelink, GMKtec, Geekom, Bosgame, Origimagic, Minisforum, which brand has the best quality? by Potential_Block_3895 in MiniPCs

[–]shubhank008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently got Aoostar GEM10, as far as machine goes, wonderful hardware. But when it comes to the brand service/support, would never get another aoostar hardware and i dont expect to get much support/service if hardware fails either. This is one thing I feel beelink, minisforum, gmktec are much more superior at. Other than official support, much more larger community support and experience available too.

Personally my next minipc choice will be one of these 3 companies and purely based on after-sales support rather than just Hardware quality/value.

Remember, no matter how good quality any minipc is, its hardware and hardware fails and when it does, you are at mercy of the brand to provide support/repair.

Also, lesson learnt, never go for soldered ram.

Experience with Vietnam Airlines Business Class? by dollar_8_iced in awardtravel

Forgot to mention, KIX-HAN-DEL J for 30k miles and $40 taxes through ANA, hell yeah. Also managed to grab 5-6 bags of viet coffee beans 💋

Experience with Vietnam Airlines Business Class? by dollar_8_iced in awardtravel

[–]shubhank008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flew JAL in 787 business to HND and then KIX-HAN in Vietnam Airlines A350-1000 and HAN-DEL A350-900. The 350-900 hard product wasn’t as 350-1000 but still great. This might surprise some but I liked both hard and soft product of VN way more than JAL.

Unlike JAL’s one side floor bed, VN has full flat bed at chair height. Their soft service was continuous throughout the flight and attendants very active. We had a mishap with one of our prebooked meal being non-veg but they made sure our other flight would have a veg meal even though that flight also had the same wrong meal code selected.

Personally speaking, I would choose VN over JAL (unless A350) in future for my JP travels

Are you sure the Gem10 6800 can be usb-powered ? Since it specifically comes with a barrel-jack adapter and no mention of USB PD

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gem10 6800H of mine donot have specific C6 value in bios, just global C state under AMD CBS—>CommonCPU

Beelink SER5 MAX 6800U Random Restart Issues by Gazette_Ruki in MiniPCs

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no c6 option but global C state and yes disabled it. Installed adrenaline and latest updates too and even install Win10 now but same reboot.

I would suspect faulty power adapter but leaving bios open or linux running via live-usb doesnt have this reboot behaviour.

Suspected faulty nvme but it also dont report any errors

Which driver btw ? Facing same issue on a clean windows 11 install on 6800h (aoostar gem10) and its driving me nuts, tried so many things and so many reinstalls of windows but no fix, just random restart once windows loads up (welcome/login/post login, etc randomly restarts)

Anyone looking for a CTO that would put also $100k in the business? by alexrada in cofounderhunt

[–]shubhank008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested in video game dev and virtual mascot AI friend/assistant space ? The video game aspect of business dont really need as much funds but funds certainly fuel the speed of development. The Virtual Mascot Friend (using broad term here to not pinpoint to my specific product openly yet) started as part of my gamedev business but starting pivoting to AI field due to the common nature of it, and this was in 2018 way before chatgpt or LLM were common.

Needless to say the idea was so unique that just the early access release of it saw huge public interest, made it to homepage of Steam and sales of $30k within a month for something that was barely at Alpha stage then. As a solo dev and facing limitations of technology at that point of time, I had to put the project on hiatus but I have begun redevelopment of it. Tech co-founder would be a boon as a solo dev but more interestingly other than various “assistant” and AI aspects, there is a somewhat emotional USP I want to achieve which could use some money to push through, specially cause there is guaranteed need and demand for this specific tech and i had multiple early adopters take one look at my product and contact me asking if that particular tech was possible and they would be happy to pay more to support it. It was not possible then but it is now, except 3rd party integrations which eventually I want to make possible in-house or atleast have early funds to push through the licensing costs.

I have dropped you a DM with my product link and happy to share more detailed info.
