I finally bought Nintendo Switch OLED ? ordered today
Problem is that I have ₹6k credit with Gameloot and I want to buy Switch games with that. BotW and Mario Odyssey were my top choices but both out of stock. Metroid Dread and Luigi Mansion 3 are also not available. I’ve signed up for a notification when they are back in stock.
Any other suggestions for games on Gameloot or F2P games on Switch? I know Fall Guys is F2P
also, any starter tips for new Switch owners?? There might be already an earlier post on starter tips, please quote them for me, thanks!

Interesting video. Not many videos on shady stuff at Nehru Place.

Had to check if he really said that.
You'd think a marketing head would choose better words. This just seems like they're starving subscribers and providing trash because they'd eat that than nothing ?
Did you find a source ?
Edit: Looks like a fake pic.

I usually hate headphones because they make my ear really warm and I start to sweat a lot and the ears start paining that's the reason I stick to using IEM or TWS which do not suffer from the heat on ears issue.
Go for Bose then. The comfiest pair of headphones you will ever own.

Do I need transit visa for Dubai if my destination is US?
I remember not needing one in 2017 but that was Abu Dhabhi.
If not Dubai then next option is London. Anything to do at Heathrow for 8hr layover? Lol
UK/European airports are pretty f**ked right now due to holiday rush. The holidays are ending soon, so anticipate another mad rush if you're going in a week or two.

I wonder which thread is appropriate for this nugget of news.
QuoteWe encouraged the console wars, not to create division, but to challenge each other," Moore said, speaking on the Front Office Sports podcast (thanks, IGN). "And when I say each other I mean Microsoft and Sony.
This competition has helped the industry, Moore continued, and saw Microsoft continuing to commit to video games despite the Xbox 360's costly "Red Ring of Death" debacle.
"If Microsoft hadn't of stuck the course after the Xbox, after the Red Rings of Death, gaming would be a poorer place for it, you wouldn't have the competition you have today
Point.

The Gray Man was quite stupid, dispensable, usual, sombre, ridiculous with creative action, and fkn boss. Or, in other words, exactly what I was looking for last night. You could watch it completely without dialogs and you'd not have missed much.
The action was good, not great, and movies like Atomic Blonde and John Wick with their precision and cleanliness have me spoiled, though this does get more creative at times. The first action scene with 4 was my favourite in creative execution, and the Prague shootout was all levels of boss.
Also confirms my game theory that the grenade launcher is the best handheld weapon of all time.
And just how good is Evans. Man. The movie does not work without him.
Chris Evans is a better villian than a hero.

Holy f**k that's costly for Google buds. Placing a lot of trust on Google, eh ? Why chose these over WFXM3/4 or Momentum 3 ?

It's sad really. For a while Flipkart were genuine competetors to Amazon. As things stand now, Amazon will have monopoly over the etailer space and that is never going to be good for consumers.
Yeah. For the initial decade or so, their support was excellent. It just fell down a cliff, went from extremely good to extremely bad in months.
Btw, Apple users - how do you change the default maps on iPhone ? Specially for WhatsApp or other apps (force them to use GMaps over Apple maps) ?
Apple maps is useless for India. SMH.

Heard some horror stories about the Pixel 6 units sold by TECH-RETAIL, so I chickened out. Cancelled it and ordered from the seller deals of you. But that arrives on Wednesday.
Oh well...

Original Post:
Arriving today...
I see many complaints about open box/refurbished Pixel 6/Pro being sold on Amazon. The tensor chip isn't the best (as expected, rebranded Exynos), so do all the testing within exchange period to avoid further hassles. No warranty anyway.

When did it drop to 18k (-3.250 = 14.7?)?
I placed the order for these on Monday as well, price was showing 19.9 - 3250 for citi card so total at 16.7k.
Also weirdly it's still showing "Not dispatched", I wonder why it's taking so long. I hope they don't cancel the order.
Are you confusing XH vs XF ? I posted about XF. If you placed the order on Monday for 19.9, I'm guessing that is for XH.

So will market tank tonight (usa time)?
America is on its way to official recession
Not sure about US (Q2 has contracted, but if feds will keep on hiking rates, some economists believe the recession should gave away in a couple of years), but recent China's labor laws/security policies will make goods costlier in times of inflation. The cost of working with and in China will become expensive.
Expect many industries to move to Vietnam and other low cost places unless massive measures are taken.

I'm on the verge of buying M1 Mac mini. How easily can it handle Fuji raw files?
You have z6 also right? Raw from those would be huge too, innit?
Will depend on the app you're using. I tried DXO PL5, and they loaded in no time. Most editing is instantaneous. JPEG export hardly takes 10-15 seconds. No difference in final processing time.
I will recommend getting the 16 gb variant though. The 8 gb will struggle a bit if too many apps are open.

I think it's gpu dependant. My 3070 does it in 20 seconds
I've an Intel Iris XE.
Topaz is sometimes restricted from accessing GPU due to heat (automatically).
I've tried on wife's M1. Blazing fast. Same task needs like 2 secs.

Hey. Looking to buy a Macbook Air for my dad, using my student discount. I noticed that airpods are free with a purchase on Apple's website - same deal as last year when I bought one for myself.
Will any physical stores price match this deal, or is this the best option? Buying M1 only, more than enough firepower.
I'm hoping to get one quickly, because buying directly from Apple usually takes 2 weeks to arrive.
@Bird Bird Birdany insight?
Offline shops don't give as much student discount as Apple online store. Are you also getting 6k cashback via HDFC cards ?
If yes, that'll be great buy !

If you really believe that after how MS handled RROD (even in a small market like India), you are clearly delusional.
Competition is good, healthy, and what drives the industry (any industry) forward.
