    Finally!!! Railwire in Kumbakonam..

     

    Already download 100GB worth of games today ..:D

     

    Also have a doubt.. Does downloading games also use GB worth of upload data? I feel like usage shown is higher than how much I have used the data.. Maybe it could be something in the background but 2GB worth of upload has been done without me uploading anything.. Have only downloaded games, few sites visited, havent watched any videos yet but that has happen..

    Background uploads via Windows Optimization Service is quite normal. Plus, there are always tons of other services too.

    Plus, steam also takes up a bit of uploading, let alone any other ahem services.

     

    And anyway, during downloading there are many disk dump and hash fails, so you usually download more than the said amount.

     

    Download Bitmeter, you will be able to see in real time when your pc downloads/uploads.

    Hey bguyst , does anyone know how much a 1 week trip to Canada cost? tickets, visa, stay, food, everything.

     

    on a budget of course

    I think you would be able to do it under 1.5L if you plan it correctly.

    And I would stay away from any packages, they won't necessarily have what you want to see. In my experience, they are never cost efficient.

    Is that weird?

    Also when I said soon, I dont mean immediately lol. Just trying to gather general info from people.

    Im sure some of us have been abroad to work/study/scholarships/something else. 

    Well, via the work route you will need to earn a minimum amount and your company has to sponsor you for a work visa. Unless, you are running a business. This doesn't apply to you yet.

     

    If you get into a good college and by that I mean atleast the levels of DTU/NSIT (assuming that you are gonna pursue B.tech), you will have an opportunity to intern abroad in your 2nd year, you will be paid for it and mostly all the expenses will be covered but can vary. Again, your CGPA and CV need to be good enough.

     

    For going to study from the get go, you will need to start thinking about SAT, TOEFL and IELTS. But mind you, even scoring high in these won't land you a decent scholarship. Your extra and co currics need to be exceptionally good otherwise you gotta pay.

     

    Most straight forward way I think, is to score 97.5%+ in 12th boards or <1000 (<800 to be safe) in Jee Advanced, then you will be able to get into NUS with financial aid, you will have to work in Singapore for 2 years after graduation but that's totally fine.

     

    And for the something else part, spend and tour is relatively straight forward.

    Need help from Airtel broadband users here.

    Are you experiencing any sort of slowdowns such as Instagram posts/stories taking too long to load, Twitter not loading tweets, being stuck on Download pending or downloading in Play store for a huge time?

    This has been happening to me since two weeks even though my speeds are still around 40Mbps, so I think this is a DNS issue but Airtel has blocked changing DNS on it's modems now!

     

    This problem is generally around 12am-11pm but disappears otherwise. While everything works perfectly, all the time on LTE.

     

    If someone can shed some info. then I will be glad because if Airtel doesn't sort it out then I am switching to ACT.

    Agreed. But isn't the buffer on P1 good enough to transfer ~50GB or so? Read quite a few reviews stating that it's absolutely fine for real world performance. Similar to the Intel 660p. Especially considering that TLC based SSD don't make sense unless you are extremely performance oriented.

    For booting up and launching frequently used applications, I can see 50gb being enough but that buffer won't help you if you want to write a huge file on your ssd which you downloaded or something else. Also, in case OS somehow allows the file to be stored on that buffer, you will lose performance on other applications (the page table entries of which it replaced).

     

    Also, the performance increase isn't that much to look over reliability difference.

    Crucial P1 is NVMe though. It's a bit faster when compared to MX500 but I am not sure about the durability. 

    P1 is based on QLC, rather than TLC in Samsung 970 Evo. 

    QLC is considerably slower than TLC and uses a buffer of higher speed storage (generally SLC etc) to speed up but downside is, once the buffer fills up, you performance will soon come back way down.

    QLC is cheaper as seen by the price of P1 and for specific use cases might make sense.

    But QLC is less reliable and rated for less iops, so I wouldn't recommend to use it as your main driver with os on it, better to invest in a SATA ssd.

    The 500GB EVO 970 wasnt within budget and wasnt sure if 256GB was enough so got the cheaper variant.

    And people did say the performance difference isnt really high enough to consider paying double the amount.

    Unless you are transferring very large files on a daily basis or running a workstation, you won't notice a difference between SATA and Nvme.

    So if you aren't one of them then you made the correct choice.

    Got these. Got around 10% discount. Thanks everyone. Will post some feedback after installing. Hope everything goes smooth.

     

    Btw got charged twice on my CC after a failed transaction. Got sms from Bank side for 2 deductions but nothing from Amazon. They said it was hard declined and I'll get refund. No issues right?

     

    PS: Thought i was posting in ATEs thread. Sorry for OT.

     

    Bro, you ordered a SATA SSD. Just stating because you mentioned that you wanted to buy nvme. Still, SATA ssd will be a huge upgrade.

    So i took a photo of the port.

    Asked on digit.in and they are saying it will support a nvme SSD. Should i go with a NVME ssd?

    Yes, this will support any M.2 ssd.

    You can get a nvme SSD like Samsung 970 evo and migrate your OS from the HDD to it.

    I tried, but it doesn't work. Has to be the student of my or other included colleges emoji17.png

    You are talking about Diners from HDFC?

    If yes, how did you apply?

    Which colleges are included?

     

    I had an option for lifetime free Regalia if I applied through Netbanking, without any help from the representative.

    But I received a call from one shortly after and when I declined to not take the non-netbanking route, the offer vanished, probably the representative removed it.

    For data hungry users on Airtel connections, there is now an add on for 3 TB data for 299 + taxes. Its a recurring monthly cost but doesnt stack though. 

    Great for people on low cost plans like 799.

    Its in the Data Balance > Buy Packs on the airtel app and also on website

    I am on 1499 plan and this add on pack has been given to me for free for 6 months. Probably some loyalty program thing.

    Yep. Just came to post this. Official statement by Google India:

     

    “Google has a wide range of products that we make available in different regions around the world. We determine availability based on a variety of factors, including local trends, and product features. We decided not to make Pixel 4 available in India. We remain committed to our current Pixel phones and look forward to bringing future Pixel devices to India.”

     

    So that's the reason why India wasn't mentioned as one of the supported countries for Motion Sense (in the leaked reports). Google decided to skip the Indian region due to poor sales, obviously.

     

    Hopefully, the Pixel 5 makes it here.

    In reports it's being mentioned that Soli radar didn't get the approval because 60Ghz frequency is not allowed for unlicensed use by civilians in India. Only military use allowed.
