Hey everyone,

I am looking to buy a tablet under ₹25,000 and would love some recommendations or advice on what specifications to look for.

My Usage:

Editing: Light video and graphic editing on Canva.

Gaming: Casual, non-FPS games (mainly strategy/simulation games like Hay Day) for a few hours daily.

Daily Tasks: Social media scrolling, media consumption (YouTube/Netflix), and light multitasking.

What I am looking for:

RAM/Storage: At least 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage (essential for smooth multitasking and Canva caching).

Processor: Not sure about specific CPUs in this budget, so need help finding one that won't lag during edits.

Display/Battery: Good screen for media and enough battery backup to survive gaming sessions.

Are there specific models I should look out for? If you have suggestions for specific processors (Snapdragon vs MediaTek vs Helios) in this range that handle Canva well, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I am having a frustrating issue with my old TP-Link TL-WR740N router (from around 2017) and could really use some advice.

My Setup:
I have an ISP-provided fiber modem (ONU/ONT) connected to my TP-Link router. The modem does not have its own Wi-Fi.

Both the modem and the router are plugged into the same spikeguard/surge protector for power.

The Issue:

For the first 4–5 years, this router worked flawlessly on my old connection. However, a couple of years ago, my ISP upgraded me to a fiber optic cable. Since then, I’ve been experiencing frequent disconnections across all devices (phones, laptops, etc.).

Symptoms: All devices remain connected to the Wi-Fi signal, but it suddenly shows "No Internet."
Router lights: The lights remain normal (no orange/red error lights).

Specific device issue: Older OnePlus devices drop the Wi-Fi entirely and refuse to reconnect until the router is restarted.

Temporary fix: I have to power-cycle the TP-Link router (turn the switch off and on after 5–10 seconds) to get the internet back.

What I want to know:

Is this 2017 router simply too old to handle the high data throughput/packet load of modern fiber, causing its memory/CPU to crash and freeze?

Could the spikeguard be causing slight voltage drops that freeze the router when it is under load, even though the lights stay on?

Are there any specific settings (like DHCP lease time, changing DNS, or adjusting channel width) I should tweak before throwing it away?

Any troubleshooting steps or explanations would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I am facing a massive dilemma regarding my career and could use some objective perspective. Here is my current situation:

The Numbers: Joined my current company in 2024 at 13 LPA. My first appraisal was 7.33%, and this year's appraisal was 7.45% (putting me around 15 LPA now). I take home roughly ₹1 Lakh+ a month.

The Perks: Excellent work-life balance. Workload is very less, zero travel/commute, and a highly supportive, chill manager and director. Ample leaves with no restrictions, and excellent job security.

The Catch: The learning curve is almost flat. Because the work is so chill, I am not picking up new up-to-date tech or skills.

My Personal Situation & Concerns:

FOMO: People around me are switching and jumping to much higher CTCs. Even though I earn decent money, I constantly feel it is "less" compared to peers.Skill Gap: To be honest, I currently have limited skills. I got this job after a lot of hardship and struggle, so I am scared of losing this stability.

Life Milestones: I have no EMIs right now. However, I am planning to get married next year, which will bring added financial responsibilities.

Given that I have a safe, comfortable environment but low learning and high FOMO, do you think a steady ~8% yearly appraisal/growth is a good deal to stay in this company long-term? Or is it a trap that will leave me stagnant?
