Using a keyboard is not very comfortable without proper back support and a desk. Even today, wired controllers are considered far superior to wireless ones. Also, any reason you are against mechanical keyboards? You'd have a far superior experience with mechanical keyboards than with membrane ones.

IKEA has a ton of options. But I specifically mentioned about the Markus because I barely miss the office Herman Miller anymore. It's genuinely good.

Would personally recommend the Ikea Markus if you can source it. I've seen folks here recommend Featherlite chairs too.

But unlikely that lower screen sizes with features will launch in India. Even the 48 inch CX skipped India

That sucks! Didn't know about it. Is a fix incoming?

Don't spend 70k on a 43 inch TV. Simple reason being that you'll shell out a good amount of money and lose out big time on features. None of the 43 inch variants I know of support HDMI 2.1, 120Hz or VRR. The Frame 2020 55'' from Samsung is around this price point, but you get all the features listed above only on a 55 inch panel and not on the 4x inches variants.

Wireless?

Just spoke to a Sony Center in Chennai area (a bit away from center). He said that he's been allocated only 7 units and folks have already paid the full amount and booked it. As of now, there are 30+ folks on the waiting list and he took my number to give me a call if he gets more stock. Seems like it's gonna be a bloodbath on 12th. Hoping that with some folks already having bought it offline, there's more inventory on Amazon, FK and other online stores. Keeping my expectation in check for 12th atm.

4k 30 right. Dont think it runs at 60. Let me know if it does. Need to double check.

Do HDMI switchers work with VRR/high refresh rates?

Me. I was the first to get/post here on IVG. Got it from Amazon.

Count me in too

1100VA should be good enough. Max power draw of PS5 should be 350W. Add 150W for your TV and you'll be good for a couple of mins.

I know I did. Wife had to drive 100km round trip to college everyday (her campus moved after we found a place and got settled). Since lockdown began, her classes became virtual. Burnt the petrol money and on an LG C9 OLED ?

I'll be in Hyderabad and my wife in Chennai for the next couple of weeks. I'll ask her to try her luck in Chennai if I can't source one in Hyderabad.

Sorry. What I meant was that regular bluetooth headsets won't work. Custom transmission via a dongle/transmitter should not be a concern. Thanks for correcting me.

The role of HR should actually become more important now. Especially if the employees find it difficult to strike a balance and get burnt out. At least on paper. I am glad that I work for a company that takes these complaints/feedback seriously. A month or two back one of my colleague quit and mentioned in the team meeting that work-life balance was one of the reasons. Multiple folks in the team (including me) called it out during our retrospective as well. This time around, things have been much better on the planning front and we could visibly see the efforts that the management took to reduce chaos. Personally, I am not too stoked on getting back to office. I prefer work from home cos I hate traveling in traffic and it also lets me plan my day as I see fit. And for meetings where I am actually not needed, (but compelled to attend) I can just turn off my mic and video-cam work in peace.

Third party wireless ones don't exist on PS4. Don't think PS5 supports them either. If you want wireless, Pulse is probably your only option. Someone pls. correct me if I am wrong.

I know it's a matter of ethics for some people, but isn't neutering him better than not allowing his sexual urge to be satisfied? We neutered our kitten just over a month back.

Damn :/ At the cat boarding, he is trying to make friends with a long time foster (older cat). But the other cat didnt give a damn and started spraying to mark territort ?? That's why we want to get another kitten/cat relatively soon before he grows up. But will definitely read up before getting another one.

My kitten meows at us if we leave him alone and come back after a couple of hours. Almost like, what the hell have you been upto types. We've left him at a pet boarding now. For like 18 days in total since we had to come to my hometown. I am half afraid that he's forgotten me already We are thinking of getting another kitten so that he's not alone when/if we start going back to office.

I spoke to someone I know in Reliance Digital, Hyderabad. He told me that he'll get back to me by tomorrow. Backup in case I can't preorder on 12th.

Agree. I find it jarring to concentrate on two monitors if they are not aligned right or if they are not of the same size (heck, even model). But I do know folks who use a laptop and extend the display to a monitor. To each his own I guess.
