Hey everyone,

I recently got a Fitbit Air and had a couple of questions regarding its setup and accuracy.

1. Which hand should I wear it on?

Should I wear it on my dominant or non-dominant hand for the most accurate and reliable tracking of steps, activity, sleep, and other metrics?

Someone suggested wearing it on my non-dominant hand while setting the device's hand preference to dominant to avoid counting unnecessary or “ghost” steps. Does this actually work, or would it negatively affect the accuracy of the tracking?

I'd love to hear from people who have tested both configurations and found one more reliable than the other.

2. Can I connect it to multiple phones?

I regularly use three phones: two Android devices and one iPhone. Ideally, I'd like to access and view my Fitbit data across all three devices.

- Can I use the same Fitbit account on all three phones?

- Will the data sync properly across them?

- Could connecting multiple phones cause syncing issues, duplicate data, or connectivity problems?

- Is there a recommended way to switch between devices without constantly unpairing and pairing the tracker?

I'd appreciate advice from experienced Fitbit users, especially anyone who uses multiple phones daily.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I'll be travelling to Amritsar for a day or two with my family; my parents, my sister and me. Since we have limited time, I want to make the most of it and explore as much as possible without making the trip too hectic.

A few things I'd love some help with:

Golden Temple

What would be the best time to visit the Golden Temple?

My mom has knee pain, so I'd ideally like to avoid a time when there's a massive crowd or a very long queue. I'm also wondering which time would be more comfortable considering the weather.

Would early morning, afternoon, evening or late night be better? And are there any particular days/timings when the crowd is relatively manageable?

Also, any tips for visiting with parents would be greatly appreciated.

Places to Visit

I'm obviously planning to visit:

• Golden Temple
• Jallianwala Bagh
• Wagah Border

Apart from these, what else would you recommend for a 1–2 day trip?

I'd especially appreciate places that are genuinely worth visiting rather than just the typical tourist checklist.

FOOD! 😭

This is probably the part I'm most excited about. 😂

I want to try proper Amritsari food and street food, preferably places that locals actually go to rather than overly touristy spots.

I've come across:

• Kesar Da Dhaba
• Brother's Dhaba
• Bharawan Da Dhaba
• Gian/Giani Lassi
• Pehelwan Kulcha

Are these actually worth visiting? What should I order at each place?

And what other kulcha, lassi, chole, tikka, street food, sweets, breakfast or dinner spots would you recommend?

Basically, if a local friend was taking me around Amritsar specifically to eat, where would you take me? 😂

Stay

I'm also looking for a budget stay around ₹1,000–₹1,500 per day, preferably a decent hotel/homestay.

It doesn't necessarily have to be right next to the Golden Temple, but somewhere convenient for sightseeing and getting around would be ideal.

So, if you had just 1–2 days in Amritsar with your parents, how would you plan the trip?

Would really appreciate recommendations from locals or people who have visited recently. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I currently have an education loan of around ₹7 lakh with Canara Bank, which I applied for through the Vidya Lakshmi portal.

I recently came across information about various education loan interest subsidy schemes offered by the government and wanted to know whether I can avail any subsidy on the interest of my existing loan.

My loan is currently at around 10.25% interest, so even a partial interest subsidy would make a significant difference.

Are there any government schemes under which I could qualify based on things like:

• Family income
• Course or college
• Loan amount
• Canara Bank education loan scheme/product
• Date when the loan was sanctioned
• Application through the Vidya Lakshmi portal

If anyone has taken a Canara Bank education loan through Vidya Lakshmi and has successfully received an interest subsidy, could you please share how you checked your eligibility and what the process was?

Should I approach my Canara Bank branch directly, or is there a government portal where I can check whether my loan qualifies for any subsidy?

Any guidance would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I currently have an education loan of around ₹7 lakh with Canara Bank under Product Code 651: Education Loan - Vidya Sagar.

Here are the current details:

• Outstanding loan: ~₹7,00,000
• Current ROI: 10.25%
• Remaining tenure: 168 months
• Current EMI: ~₹9,000
• Goal: Completely close the loan within 2–3 years

I don't want to continue paying ₹9,000 for the next 14 years if I can avoid it. I'm willing to aggressively prepay the loan and can increase my payments in months where I have extra cash.

For example, I'm thinking of:

• Paying the regular ₹9,000 EMI every month
• Making additional payments of ₹20,000–₹30,000 in months where possible
• Making a larger lump-sum payment of around ₹1 lakh once a year
• I'm also considering withdrawing some amount from my EPF and putting it towards the loan

My main questions are:

1. What would be the most efficient way to structure these extra payments if my goal is to finish the loan within 2–3 years?
2. Whenever I make an extra payment, should I specifically ask the bank to reduce the principal and tenure rather than simply treating it as an advance EMI?
3. Does Canara Bank's Vidya Sagar education loan allow partial prepayments without any charges?
4. Is the 10.25% ROI revised periodically, and can the interest rate come down automatically if the bank's benchmark rate changes?
5. Can I request Canara Bank to reduce my ROI based on my current income/CIBIL/employment profile?
6. Does an education loan undergo any kind of annual restructuring or interest-rate revision?
7. Would it make financial sense to withdraw around ₹1 lakh from my EPF every year to prepay the loan, or should I leave the EPF untouched and use my salary/savings for prepayments?

I'm basically trying to figure out the optimal strategy to become debt-free in 2–3 years while minimizing the total interest paid.

If anyone has a similar Canara Bank education loan or has successfully closed one early, I'd really appreciate some guidance on how you approached the prepayments.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to extend my WiFi coverage and I'm confused between two options.

I can either:

1. Buy a new TP-Link WiFi 6 dual-band router and use it as an Access Point via Ethernet

2. Use a spare JioFiber router that I already have and configure it as an Access Point via Ethernet

I'm currently on a 100 Mbps JioFiber plan, so I don't want to spend money unnecessarily if the spare Jio router can do the job properly.

I have a few questions:

- Does the JioFiber router have any limitations on its LAN ports, such as being limited to 100 Mbps?

- If the Jio router has only a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, would that be enough for my 100 Mbps plan, or would I lose some actual speed?

- If I connect an Access Point/router via Ethernet cable, will there be any noticeable bandwidth drop?

- For example, if I pull an Ethernet connection from the main router and connect it to the secondary router at around 50-60 Mbps, will the Access Point itself get slower internet speeds?

- Would WiFi 6 make any meaningful difference for a 100 Mbps connection, or is the spare Jio router perfectly adequate?

The main goal is simply good WiFi coverage with the least possible speed loss.

If anyone has used a spare JioFiber router as an AP or has experience with this setup, I'd really appreciate your input before I spend money on another router.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've got a work MacBook Pro M1, and I'm trying to keep the display turned on while the machine is on the lock screen, similar to how Windows behaves when the laptop is plugged in.

I've already tried changing the following settings:

System Settings → Lock Screen → Turn display off on battery when inactive → Never

System Settings → Lock Screen → Turn display off on power adapter when inactive → Never

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. The display eventually turns off even when the MacBook is plugged in.

Is there any way to keep the display permanently on while the device is locked?

Is this a macOS limitation, or is there another setting that I'm missing?

It's a work laptop, so I don't know whether any company policies or management settings could also be affecting this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm currently using a Samsung T7 Shield SSD primarily for backing up photos, videos, and complete phone backups on my Windows PC.

While setting it up, I came across the Samsung Magician software and noticed features such as Performance Optimization, health monitoring, firmware updates, and a few other tools.

My question is, is it actually recommended to use Samsung Magician with the T7 Shield, or is it just another piece of unnecessary software?

I'm particularly curious about the Performance Optimization feature.

- Do you keep it enabled?

- Does it improve performance in any noticeable way?

- Does it have any impact on the SSD's lifespan?

- Is it useful for a drive that's used mainly for backups rather than continuous read and write operations?

I'd love to hear from people who have been using the T7 Shield for a while.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a place where I can buy completely boneless chicken at a reasonable price.

The only thing I don't want is the usual practice where the shop first weighs the chicken with the bone, removes the bones afterward, and charges based on the original weight.

I'm specifically looking for a place that:

- Sells 100% boneless chicken

- Weighs it after it's boneless, so I pay only for the meat

- Offers reasonable pricing, preferably under ₹250/kg (or close to it)

Any recommendations for local butcher shops, or meat stores.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the HSBC Live+ Credit Card and had a few doubts regarding the District BOGO movie offer.

I have the Signature variant, although after the recent changes/devaluation, it is now being mentioned as an Infinite variant. I can also see the ₹750 voucher on PoshVine, so I'm assuming my card is eligible for the Infinite offers.

I'm trying to avail the BOGO movie ticket offer on District, but I'm completely confused about how the booking works.

My questions are:

The offer says it's valid on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Does that mean I need to book the tickets only on those days?

If yes, what's the ideal time to book? Should I try right after 12:00 AM on Friday/Saturday/Sunday?

Can I book tickets in advance on a Friday for a movie scheduled next week, or does the movie itself also have to be on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

I tried making a booking using my HSBC Live+ card, but it shows "Selected offer is not available on the card selected." Am I missing some activation step, or does it take some time after card issuance for the offer to become active?

I'm completely new to HSBC and District offers, so if anyone who's been using this card could explain how it works, it'd be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on improving the network coverage in my house.

I have a JioFiber connection installed around 2019-20 and I'm still using the older ISP-provided router as my primary router/ONT.

The house is approximately 4500 sq. ft. The JioFiber router is located in one corner of the ground floor, and I need reliable WiFi coverage on a single room on the 1st floor towards the opposite corner, although both locations are roughly on the same side of the building.

I'm able to run an Ethernet cable between the main router and the 1st floor, so wireless repeating isn't necessary.

From my research, I'm considering three options:

• Run Cat6 from the Jio router to a second dual-band router configured in AP mode
• Install a dedicated Access Point connected via Ethernet
• Use a mesh WiFi system with Ethernet backhaul

My priorities are maximum practical throughput, stable connectivity, good coverage and seamless roaming if possible.

I don't currently see the need to replace the JioFiber router completely unless there is a significant advantage in doing so.

Would a consumer router in AP mode be sufficient for this setup, or would a dedicated AP be preferable? Does investing in a mesh system make sense when Ethernet backhaul is already available?

I'm also curious about potential issues such as double NAT, DHCP conflicts, channel planning and whether using the same SSID/password on the Jio router and secondary AP would provide reasonably seamless roaming.

Any hardware recommendations or suggestions on how you would design this network would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've had a JioFiber connection since around 2019-20 and I'm still using the initial older router provided with the connection.

The router is currently placed in one corner of the ground floor. The house is around 4500 sq. ft., and I want to extend the WiFi coverage to a single room on the 1st floor, towards the other corner of the house, although it's on the same side of the building.

I researched a bit and, from what I understand, the best solution would be to run an Ethernet cable from the main JioFiber router to the 1st floor and connect it to either:

• Another dual-band router configured as an Access Point
• A dedicated Access Point
• A mesh WiFi system with wired backhaul

I'm honestly confused about which setup would be the best for my use case.

My main priority is getting good speeds, stable connectivity and proper WiFi coverage on that room of 1st floor without losing a significant amount of bandwidth.

Should I simply get a good dual-band router and use it in AP mode? Would investing in a mesh system make more sense for a house of this size? Also, would it be better to run a Cat6 cable between the floors?

If anyone has done something similar with an older JioFiber router or has experience setting up WiFi coverage for a large house, please share your setup and recommendations.

Specific router, Access Point or mesh system recommendations are also welcome.

Would really appreciate some guidance before I start buying equipment and running cables. Thanks!
