Where will I get a good deal for Aula F75?

I want to buy a good mechanical keyboard. My primary use case is just writing codes, and I do occasional gaming too. I want a keyboard with creamy(?) and not too loud switches which aren't too hard to press so I can type smoothly.

Currently I am thinking of going with Aula F75 with greywood switches but I'm open to other options.

So where can I get a good deal for such keyboard?

My budget is around 7k rs

Title: Acer Swift Go 14 (New) vs Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (Second-hand) — Which should I buy?

Iam a CSIT student in Nepal looking for a laptop that can last me 5–6 years.

I'm comparing these two options:

- Acer Swift Go 14 (Brand-new): Core Ultra 5 125H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14-inch 2.8K OLED 90Hz display — around NPR 110k–118k.

- Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (Second-hand): Core 5 210H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 16-inch display — around NPR 115k.

I like the Lenovo's larger screen and design, but the Acer's OLED display looks amazing. Since the Lenovo is second-hand and the Acer is brand-new, I'm unsure which is the better choice for long-term use.

Which would you recommend for programming, battery life, build quality, and reliability over the next 5–6 years? Is the Acer worth choosing even though the Lenovo has a larger screen?

My budget is around NPR 100k, so I'd also appreciate advice on whether either laptop is worth buying at these prices or whether I should negotiate further.

Thanks!

Be aware buying laptop cuz I got refurb instead of new.(update)

A little background:

I recently bought a new laptop (lenovo LOQ) and got refurbished (basically got scammed). I posted it here yesterday with the shop's name.

Following it I went to the shop(putali sadak) to discuss the matter today and they refunded me asap without much debate. They got so scared of the legal prosecution.(I didn't do it as the issue was solved silently and their scared ass got another chance).

And in the afternoon, the shop guy begged to remove the reddit post so I did.(sorry i shouldn't have)

But I want you guys to check the laptop very perfectly regardless of the shop you buy.The seller's charismatic behaviour may mislead you if you're not aware.

- check the serial number and model number very carefully and tally it.

-check it on the website.

- inspect your laptop carefully.

And the refurbished being sold as new looks very identical ditto so verify it.

Usually they offer you a competitively lower price for the refurbished one.

The whole market is a scam. There is a network of scammers selling refurbished as per importer who himself sells refurbished. After the COVID, the laptop market is cooked asf. Most of the laptops are refurbished and we don't even check after we buy them. Idk anything will happen through police report too.(only retailers might be penalised). Basically many do this kind of thing. A laptop shop showed me a side to side comparison of refurbished and new which look the same.Idk which one he gave me😭🥀

Choose wisely, inspect deeply.

Thankyou

Roomie update - developer email, wiki, and customer support, all built from Nepal

Hey r/technepal 🙏

Another update from us at Roomie — the all-in-one team workspace we've been building here in Nepal. This community has been part of the journey from early on, so I wanted to share where we've reached.

A milestone we're genuinely proud of

  • We've crossed 2,000 users on the platform
  • Our system is now delivering 4,000+ emails a week

For a team that started this year, seeing real usage at this scale has been surreal. Thank you to everyone here who tried it and gave us honest feedback along the way.

What's shipped recently

📧 Email for developers — API + SMTP with monitoring built in. The same account also does marketing emails and campaigns, so transactional and marketing email live under one roof. (Those Roomie marketing emails some of you have been getting? Sent from Roomie itself.)

📚 Wiki (our take on Confluence) — real-time collaborative docs with multiple editors, shareable public links, email sharing, and team invites per space. The best part: your wiki lives inside your AI context, so it's genuinely useful for API docs, in-app knowledge bases, and sharing documentation inside or outside your org.
How it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYbPBvEdPCE

🎧 Customer support widget — plug it into your website or webapp and support conversations flow straight into Roomie's ticketing and project management. It's already live for us — we run Roomie's own customer support on Roomie.
How it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2VvRCXLyk0

Honestly, that's the theme of the last few months: we run Roomie on Roomie. Our support, our marketing emails, our internal work — all of it goes through the product. Even our website was built inside Roomie, though that part isn't released yet.

What's next

🚀 Agent that builds — we're adding the ability for our AI chat to create websites and apps that deploy directly from Roomie. It's how we built our own site, and we're targeting a public release next month.

🏷️ Roomie tags — think Claude-style tagging: mention the agent from any chat channel to hand it a task. Actively in research right now.

Give it a try at roomie.work — free for up to 3 users. If you run into any issues or have questions, just DM me directly and I'll help you out 🙏

I've learned full stack by building with Claude, but I can't write most of the code from scratch. Can this land me an internship?

I started a full stack course and learned a lot about frontend and backend. Along the way I got interested in automating things and came up with my own project idea. The irony is that I've used Claude the whole time.

Still, I understand the concepts. On the frontend (React, Tailwind, Framer Motion), I follow the flow of axios client service files hooks/components. on the backend, I use an MVC-style structure with routes, middleware, and controllers (Mongoose models). I've worked with cloudinary for images and MongoDB Atlas for user data, and I've learned how to build REST APIs, connect them to a database, and handle requests.

The honest part: I can't write more than 50% of this code from scratch. But I can read it, understand it, and explain how it works. I've also debugged real problems myself, like MongoDB Atlas IP whitelist issues, controller export mismatches, and stuck processes. I built the mobile navbar hamburger menu step by step on my own.

What I built is a full café ordering app where customers can order drinks and meals online. It has:

Khalti online payment (tested end-to-end in sandbox) and cash on delivery

JWT authentication with httpOnly cookies, plus edge middleware to protect route

An admin panel with full product CRUD, restricted so regular users can't reach it

Cart with global state (Context API), plus a "Buy Now" path that skips the cart

Dynamic product detail pages

Order history for users, and an order view for admins

Responsive design with Tailwind, and Framer Motion animations on the hero

Is this enough to land an internship or a job? Or should I focus on writing more code without AI help first? I'd appreciate honest advice, especially from anyone who started out the same way.
