Hi everyone,

Planning to make my first big purchase. I'm confused between BB58 & the new Hydroconquest.

  • Which ones do you prefer more since both are diver's watch?
  • I'm currently planning to get them from Ethos. What other outlets should I explore for possible deals?
  • Is it fair to buy these watches from India or from outside?

I currently have both ICICI APay and SBI Cashback.

Mostly I use Amazon for online shopping, prime subscription, Amazon Pay for bill payments (electricity, gas, mobile, misc.). Currently I use SBI Cashback for loading Amazon Pay wallet with gift cards (~10k every month), Blinkit/Amazon Now, Zomato & other miscellaneous payments.

In the past I had used SBI Card for booking flights on Amazon Pay & received cashback on it. However, now that I’ve redirected all my travel & offline spends on Regalia Gold so that I can later upgrade it to DCBM, does it even make sense to continue with SBI? The cashback is now capped at 4k combined, and I never reach those spends so that I can ever get 4k monthly.

Hello everyone,

I’m planning to upgrade my current laptop and could use some advice based on my workload. I’m currently using a GA401QH. Its been 5 years I’ve been using this device and I feel I could either upgrade the RAM (only one channel is available and can be upgraded) & battery or can go for a new device.

Currently I work as a platform engineer, and I generally run multiple services locally, containers, VMs for labbing. Basically I’d be stressing my laptop every other day.

I won’t be running windows or games. Bonus if I can have a good battery life from the machine. So I want:
- Smooth multitasking without lag
- Decent thermals
- Decent battery life
- Good build quality. When I travel, I carry my laptop almost everywhere even on vacations.
- Good keyboard. I had ThinkPad before and I really loved it.
- May run LLMs locally but its not on my horizon yet.

I don’t care much about gaming since I have a PS.

I’m thinking it should cost somewhere around 1-1.5L

Would appreciate suggestions.

TIA
