I love using certain Linux distros as my primary OS. But I’m solely using Windows as of now. The main reason being the availability of certain drivers (specifically audio drivers). Now, this is not meant to imply that one should not consider using Linux because such problems may arise. These problems may arise on anyContinue reading “My Time with Linux Distros”

Chromium Based Microsoft Edge
Microsoft has launched its new Edge browser and has rolled it out to most Windows 10 users through the May 2020 update. Some might have noticed the slightly different icon, and it is not just the icon that has changed. You might have read about Chromium Edge. Or Edgium?

Lack of Focus and Decreasing Utility-Cost in Smartphones
We have been seeing developments in the smartphone industry thanks to the progress made in digital technology. But the industry is near saturation at this point. This virtual membrane will brake.

Technology isContinue reading “Lack of Focus and Decreasing Utility-Cost in Smartphones”
On Digital Cameras
Cameras are useful tools to have. As technology shifted from Analogue to Digital, the Camera Industry adapted. The participants who did not, faded. These days, in digital technology, we are seeing rapid development in processing power, advances in the use of machine learning algorithms, etc. But it does seem like there is something missing. “New”Continue reading “On Digital Cameras”

Thoughts on Google Duo
I installed Google Duo, Google’s new standalone video calling app, the day it was released to the public, and told a few of my friends to install it as well to try it out, or what’s the point of a video calling app if there’s no one to talk to to begin with?

iPhone 7 Announced: Thoughts
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were announced along with some other announcements at the Apple Event.

Buying Smartphone: Monetary Consideration
The smartphone industry is progressing fast, and having a smartphone for years is not as good an idea. There’s a cycle. Buy a phone, use it, take backup, sell the phone, buy a phone, restore backup, use it, take backup, sell it, and so on. You have something fresh, or relatively fresh, with you andContinue reading “Buying Smartphone: Monetary Consideration”

Tempered Glass and Capacitive Buttons
These days most smartphones come with on-screen navigation buttons, but some still come with capacitive buttons on the bezels. The quality of these buttons is not the same on every model.

Xperia Z5 – Prefered Smartphone
As of now, if I were to choose a smartphone, I’d go for Xperia Z5. I’d have gone for Google Nexus 6P by Huawei, but its screen is a little large for me without any feature for one-handed operation. Specs wise it’s not the best. But here is a checklist. Medium screen size – checkContinue reading “Xperia Z5 – Prefered Smartphone”
