Every 1 minute I have to go into settings and toggle the Lock Mouse to Viewport in the settings screen (Input Settings)

I'm running in borderless windowed mode with a dual monitor setup. So, the mouse leaves the game enters the other monitor when trying to edge pan or just moving the cursor close to he edge where the other monitor starts.

What's even weirder is that when I enable full screen and restart it's the same problem. The mouse is not locked to the game area, wanders off into the other monitor, this is the first time I'm seeing this issue with full screen (not borderless) mode in any game.

FYI Its this setting

When will we get away from the clutches of the Babu's wanting bribes?

I bought a 5080+AORUS F032U2P OLED Combo a while back before the prices went bonkers. But I was always confused with HDR etc and rarely ever used it. Mainly because I have a second monitor LG27GN850 (previous primary) which has HDR but is absolute dog poop.

So whenever I enabled HDR on for gaming the LG monitor was washed out and annoying to look at. So I never enabled HDR or used HDR on my OLED. This is a workstation+gaming where gaming is on the weekends so I kinda just played on SDR 🤷‍♂️

Then I recently found out about CRU and was able to delete the HDR entry from the LG and voila HDR activates only on the main monitor now which is the oled one. But it still looked weird as I mostly work with Visual Studio and VSCode. Then I researched more and found out about different colour profiles calibration etc. and Finaly I calibrated my HDR to my liking and its been amazing.

Then I discovered RTX HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution and my Mind was BLOWN. Its so seamless. I play a video on my HDR monitor RTX HDR is used and if I move the same video to the SDR monitor its disabled and vice versa and I was amazed at the simplicity of it all

Then I watched F1 races with RTX Video and that shit was crisp AF. Thanks to this and MPC-HC also having support for RTX Video and RTX HDR which is also very seamles I can now fully enjoy my monitor with HDR and amazing pictures.

Will be getting freelance earnings. ~4L/m been using my salary account for previous FL income because it was less and sporadic.

But this FY and this income might be steady, for at least for a year. I am still confused about choosing a Current account or a Savings account. It will be on my name/pan (individual) and not some entity like sole proprietorship or anything.

There will be no expenses or high volume txns. What will happen is mostly I get the payment and I dump it into some arbitrage mutual funds. no expense tracking, no vendor payments, no cheques/OD needs at all. The payment will be made via bank transfer and no special payment gateway or anything.

I will probably have to register for GSTIN ~5-6 months down the line when the income crosses 20L so is Current Account mandatory then? Or can I operate on Savings account designed for freelances like the GIGA Savings account.

Are there any better options other than HDFC? I am also looking more in terms of getting better credit cards if possible (least priority)

Well yeah is Current Account necessary or can I open a Savings Account and do everything?

Hey guys,

Currently at ~60LPA CTC, in-hand is around 3.6L per month. Got a contract offer for ~4L ($30/hr) per month as a side gig.

I’m thinking 44ADA should apply since it’s technical consultancy work, but I’m not 100% sure. Also, with ~48L annual billing, do I need to register for GST? should GST be on my name?

Main goal is to optimize taxes and reduce the burden as much as possible. Should I just invoice as an individual using my PAN, or is it worth setting up an LLP or Pvt Ltd / OPC? Any other smart ways to structure this?

Would really appreciate inputs from people who’ve done similar side consulting/freelance work while on salary, especially in IT/architecture roles. What ITR form, any gotchas with side income + full time job, advance tax stuff, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to optimize prompts for GitHub Copilot Agent Mode now that GPT-5.6 models make prompt caching much more valuable than it was with previous models. With them having now specific material Cache Read and Write costs unlike before.

OpenAI documents prompt caching for their API (1024-token prefix, 128-token increments, identical prefix matching, short-lived in-memory caches, optional 24-hour extended caches, etc.), but I can't find any documentation on whether GitHub Copilot exposes the same behavior or whether it has its own orchestration layer. https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/prompt-caching#prompt-cache-breakpoints

Another thing that confused me is the context limits. OpenAI's documentation and pricing distinguish between shorter and longer input contexts, with pricing changing beyond certain thresholds (around the 272k-token input range for GPT-5.6). However, GitHub Copilot advertises a flat 400k context window for GPT-5.6/Codex. Is that 400k entirely usable input, or is it actually something like ~272k input plus reserved output tokens? If Copilot is abstracting this away, does that affect prompt caching behavior or pricing in any way?

Some specific questions:

• Does Copilot simply inherit OpenAI's prompt caching, or does GitHub modify prompts enough that cache hits are different?
• Is there any documentation on cache breakpoints, TTL, or cache invalidation for OpenAI models in Copilot?
• Does Agent Mode preserve a stable prefix between turns, or is the prompt rebuilt each request?
• Are repository context, MCP responses, retrieved files, and tool outputs part of the cached prefix, or are they regenerated every time?
• How does the advertised 400k context relate to OpenAI's documented input/output limits? Is there any hidden reservation for output or compaction happening?
• Has anyone measured cache hit rates or token usage when repeatedly using the same coding agent?
• Are there any best practices for structuring AGENTS.md, custom instructions, or prompts to maximize cache reuse?

Most stuff I find online are about Anthropic prompt caching or the OpenAI API directly, but very little about GitHub Copilot specifically. I'd appreciate any links to documentation, or measurements from people who've profiled this.

I read some threads and a little confused. Last time I stacked 36months GPCore to GPUltimate for 3 years

This 3 years is ending tomorrow. I want to keep going, mostly play on PC only since I have a 5080 but the PC price is just 200/- lower than GPUltimate.

I was thinking of buying 3 years GPCore Keys from eneba and upgrade to PC for 3 years and if possible GPU

Some threads say stacking is now limited to 13months now? so I cant buy 3yr GPCore and upgrade to 3year GPU?

Little confused. Let me know the best way for the longest subscription period!

Thanks!

I just finished watching Deep Water and I'm even more confused now. when I first saw the trailer I thought people were exaggerating when they compared it to No Way Up (2024) but after actually watching the movie, they're not.

>!It feels like the exact same movie:!<

• >!Passenger plane crashes into the ocean!<
• >!Survivors trapped in and around the wreckage!<
• >!Constant struggle to stay alive underwater!<
• >!Sharks as the primary threat!<
• >!Similar pacing and tension beats!<
• >!Similar character archetypes!<

What surprised me most is that Deep Water doesn't seem to improve on anything. The acting isn't noticeably better, the visual effects aren't significantly better, the writing isn't better, and the survival scenarios don't feel more creative.

I always remember Armageddon and Deep Impact but they were completely different movies with similar premise but have a different take on that and released almost side by side

Am I missing something? Did anyone watch both movies and come away thinking Deep Water did something substantially different or better?

Because after watching it, I genuinely don't understand why this movie needed to exist when No Way Up already covered the exact same ground so recently.

Looking for advice on which credit cards to prune from my portfolio.

Card	Limit	LTF
Sapphiro (Amex + Mastercard) + Coral Rupay	₹20L	Yes
Amazon Pay	₹20L	Yes
HSBC Live+	₹10L	No
SBI Cashback	₹4L	No
OneCard (South Indian Bank)	₹5L	Yes
BOB Eterna Rupay	₹10L	Yes
Kotak League RuPay	₹7L	Yes
Swiggy HDFC	₹1.5L	No
IndianOil Axis bank Premium	₹90K	Yes
Scapia	₹4L	Yes

Notes:

• Sapphiro Amex, Sapphiro Mastercard, and Coral RuPay appear as a single ICICI account on my CIBIL report.
• Amazon Pay appears as a separate ICICI account on my CIBIL report.

Current thinking is to close:

1. Swiggy HDFC
2. Kotak League RuPay
3. OneCard

Reasoning:

• Swiggy HDFC I only use it on Swiggy, and I have Pluxee card 4400/month now so this Im rarely using, rest of the time I only order when there are card offers like Amex offer Axis offer etc.
• Kotak League RuPay feels redundant since I already have Coral RuPay for UPI spends. Not sure about the rewards here
• OneCard doesn't seem to offer anything unique anymore. It used to be great, but most of its advantages have disappeared. For fuel, I already have IndianOil Premium.

My primary spends are:

• Online shopping (SBI Cashback + Amazon Pay) ~20K/m
• Utilities (SBI Cashback via Amazon Pay Gift Cards) ~15k/m
• Groceries and food orders (Pluxee ₹4,400/month + HSBC Live+) ~10k/m
• Fuel 4k/m (IndianOil Premium)
• Occasional travel (Sapphiro often has useful flight/MMT offers)
• Online subscriptions to different developer tools etc all shifted to Scapia from One card. Many are in Forex, one or two in INR

Would you close the same three cards, or would you prune a different set?

Also, are there any cards in this lineup that are unexpectedly valuable and worth keeping even if they're not seeing much spend?

My brother is 35yrs old and stays in KPHB, this is for him.

Hes been living in KPHB since 2015, nice flat in a gated community, since covid hes been fully working from home. He earns I think in hand around 3.3LPM. He recently got a promotion in his office, and they might be setting up a regional office in Hyderabad soon and MAY have to go to office regularly and wants to stay in an area around Financial district where the new office most likely will be.

We visited a lot properties like Lansum Elena which quoted 3CR+ and I think Sumadhura which quoted ~6CR (4000sft)🤣. But on an average a nice luxury apartment near the centre seems to cost minimum 3CR+. We also checked out other properties in the area which were lower like 2CR etc but he didn't like them, in the sense that they were not any better than the apartment he is lviing in, some one quted 2.5 Cr for an apartment smaller than his current one and looks cheap and old. (dont remember the name). We personally visited all these places etc.

How is the traffic there, he and I both hate traffic, when we travel from KPBH to Mindspace it takes 1hr in the morning easily ~9am. Which is we both WFH luckily. However once he has to start going to office, he wants to be in the happening place to avoid traffic concerns (his highest concern is only traffic, next is apartment quality maybe).

I visit my friends sometimes at their offices in Sattva and some other office in Financial district and the traffic is horrible to say the least.

Every time we visited to check the apartments it was a saturday or a sunday whenever he and I didn't have work so couple of questions.

1. How is the weekday peak traffic there like around My home avatar and Rajapushpa Provincia? hes looking here too
2. I heard rumours that it takes almost 30-45 mins just to get out of the society and onto the main road from these apartment, how true is that
3. Is 3Cr really worth it? he seems to be like, "I can afford it but i dont think this is worth that much" and drops every apartment we visit.

In the end what im asking is people in these areas, where do you live, where is your office, how long does it take from home to office on working days? just want to analyse and understand.

I also want to know any pros and cons you guys can give me!
