In my Windows 7 machine, whenever I switch a folder view setting between icons and thumbnails, the change always affects all folders, including the desktop. I make the change by ticking or unticking the box in Organize -> Folder and search options -> View -> Always show icons, never...

I know the Zenphone is a good VFM phone, and made by a trusted brand, but it's significantly costlier. So the comparison is not really valid. As for the Redmi 1S, it's a better VFM. I registered for the last sale at Flipkart but I had to leave town to attend a funeral on that day. I've...

1. I specifically asked for personal experience or that of others close to the person who replies. You supplied neither one. 2. I specifically requested not to make throwaway comments, which is exactly what you did. And repeated it in your second reply. 3. I did not ask for alternatives or...

To that, I'll just say: Read the second para of my post.

Hello, I'm back at Digit forum after a long long absence. I'm thinking of buying the Xonphone 5 for my wife. It's available for 8k at Snapdeal. The specs look really good for the price but technical specs alone don't tell the whole story. User reviews at Snapdeal contain quite a bit of...

^^ Desmond's post can hardly be called a negotiation, can it? The OP mentions three specific items "and more" but sets only a single price. It's unclear whether 4k is the price for the HDD alone or for all items together.

In earlier times, processors were much less powerful than they are now and it was desireable to relieve them of some of their workload wherever possible. One such work is decoding the raw digital audio data from optical discs. CD/DVD drives have built-in decoders and their output is taken from...

No, it's not OK. The component that's most likely to suffer first is the hard disk. But other parts could also get damaged if power goes on and off so often. Most electrical and electronic products are highly stressed at the moment they are turned on (and sometimes when they are turned off)...

KIS and any other full-fledged internet security suite will also guard against resident viruses in your external drive, thumb drive, memory card, etc. They are called 'Internet security' programs because, unlike antivirus-only progs, they have additional features to guard against threats coming...

KIS single user is 449/- shipped at letsbuy.com Avast Free is praised by many users. For me, the free version of Avira has served me well for several years. Never had any serious infection. Lighter on system resources than Kaspersky and less heavy-handed than Avast.

^ He said the problem is with a friend's system, not his. :D

How did you test the UPS and concluded that it's working normally?

I have limited experience with Intel systems but I've occasionally come across similar issues caused by certain BIOS settings, like expecting RAID where there's none. Not saying that you're using RAID or that it must be the culprit. Just an example of how some BIOS settings can cause a hiccup at...

First, it's not that 600VA equals 360W. It means that the UPS has different ratings for different conditions. With DC, voltage and current always flow at the same time. In this case, voltage x current = power, or VA = P (in Watts). With AC, the voltage is constantly changing in value and...

Have you been having wet weather? Moisture on the mouse and keyboard can allow enough current to flow on them to give a slight tingling or buzz, especially if they are not perfectly clean. The accumulated dust and dirt absorbs moisture from the air. Even if the plastic surfaces look dry and...

Your system is not power-hungry even with the future additions. Power consumption will probably not exceed 200W peak, much less at idle or light usage. IIRC the 600VA APC is rated for ~360W. So you can put your mind at ease and use the APC 600VA UPS.

This issue has come up several times before, so I prepared the drawing below a few years ago to illustrate how it works, but I never got around to uploading it until now. I hope it will help. @casual_gamer: Look at the picture. See how the leakage current flows through your body and out to...

Check your earthing. In 99.9% of cases, this is not due to any defect in the system, but due to normal leakage in the PSU, UPS and spike guard. The PSU etc have built-in filters against voltage spikes and EMI. These filters provide slight leakage paths to the cabinet metal which is supposed...

Kill-a-watt power meter is available at eBay-India through their Global Easy Buy. However, note that this line of products is only for 110-120V AC voltages.
