    BharOS: IIT Madras-incubated company brings Atmanirbhar "BharOS" for smartphones

    Reading some articles gives the feeling that it is basically a fork of Android/AOSP/LineageOS with no default proprietary apps and a closed app store containing curated apps for the security conscious government departments. Something like Sandes. Theoretically.

    Windows 10 activation status after changing CPU?

    It is retail key but I do not want to go the MS account route. It seems I have no avenue then. Some posts seem to suggest that only CPU change is fine.

    I got the Gigabyte B450M DS3H delivered. The package contains motherboard and 2 SATA cables. No screws, cable ties included in the package. Is this normal? But at least the M2 slot seems to have a securing screw in place. @quicky008
