    Absolute poor display of customer support - Samsung.

    Yes, I am anyways not buying it now because even if the feature is available on the remote it is a bit inconvenient. I just wanted to share my experience because such a lousy customer support during pre-sales was never expected from Samsung.

    Absolute poor display of customer support - Samsung.

    I shortlisted Samsung M5 27” LS27FM500EW FHD Monitor which has 2 HDMI ports and being Smart monitor comes with remote. I just needed a sort of confirmation that the remote can be used to switch between HDMI inputs 1 & 2. I read the specs and user manual but it was not clear from it either. I...

    Need help ! Want to upgrade from AMD Athlon 200GE to AMD Ryzen 3 3200G or higher

    Updating BIOS is always risky and if something goes wrong you may end up bricking the board. You need to first finalize the CPU what is supported and available currently, then check for that CPU what is the minimum BIOS version needed (i.e. since which Version it is supported) If your current...

    Asrock B450 Steel Legend motherboard takes 60-70 seconds to come display

    That's a good point. May be the slightly lower voltage in the battery was enough to hold the data but caused some delays in initialization. 12 secs is quite okay. How about one more restart before Windows loads, is that resolved?

    Asrock B450 Steel Legend motherboard takes 60-70 seconds to come display

    One more thing you can try, if you are comfortable is to try to run the system bare without the cabinet. But this is tedious and requires you to put everything back into cabinet later and can damage something if you are not familiar with PC building. You can power on the system by momentarily...

    In India IPv4 is exhausted and no ISP I believe offers public IP anymore. Only a few like Airtel, Tata etc offer static IP 4 that too it’s not disclosed on their product pages. It’s only on need basis for extra cost. I briefly told you about SoftEther VPN. It in fact is free and offers IPv6...

    Info Sharing - Putting Airtel GX 2122A in Bridge Mode - FTTH

    I not only changed my ONT I also changed my ISP!!! Airtel ONT Routers were not much locked, up until a few years ago, but the newer models and its firmware has locked most of the settings including Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode has nothing to do with Public or Private IP. It’s a separate process...
