Hello everyone, I have watched quite a lot of ROG RigReboot now (I found out about them today only). So I decided that maybe I should also try my luck in the next ones ( the one in 2022 ) but the twist is that this competition is limited to only USA and Canada. So if by any luck I win this then will I be able to get it because if I do I am more than ready to fly off to Linus and get my RIG. Please anyone let me know about this cuz I am tired of looking at my old PC that cannot even play movies in 1080p and my parents won't give me the budget to buy the one I want.

Hello Linus I am a student from India I am using my 5yrs old hp laptop I played most of the games in 720low @20fps so I didn't even got a full gaming experience I am following you from a long time on pc buildings.i hope my dreams come true

Airtel, it seems, is doing quite well at pissing off their customers. First, there was 'Airtel Zero', that went against our will of keeping the internet free : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/343128-double-standards-by-facbook-and-google-net-neutrality-in-india/ , and now this Here’s how this story unfolded: On 3rd June, 2015, Thejesh GN, an infoactivist and programmer from Bangalore noticed that Airtel is secretly injecting scripts into user’s web browser. The code tries to insert a toolbar into the user’s browsing session In layman’s terms, Airtel was collecting user information & trying to alter user behavior without user permission: a practice that’s as unethical as it sounds. If that wasn’t enough, Thejesh received a threatening notice (Cease & Desist notice) from an Israeli company named Flash Networks Limited.

Lets get this clear : Indian food outside of India is not Indian food. Scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur have come up with a reason, according to science, for why Indian food tastes so good. And strangely enough, it actually goes against the principle that made British chef Heston Blumenthal so famous, known as ‘food pairing’. The basis of food pairing is that foods, whether they’re sweet and savoury, can work together in a recipe if they contain the same types of flavours. So while white chocolate and caviar might not seem like the best choice to throw toughener in a dish, Blumenthal tried it out with the food pairing theory in mind, and it worked beautifully. Writing for The Guardian in 2002, Blumenthal said he went to his friend, François Benzi, who works for flavourings and perfumes company Firmenich, for answers. "The response was that both the chocolate and caviar contain high levels of amines," Blumenthal said. "These are a group of proteins that have broken down from their amino acid state but not so far as to become ammonia. Amines contribute to the desirable flavours that we find in cooked meats and cheeses, among other things." The same principle is at play in Blumenthal’s recipe for beetroot and green peppercorn jelly with mango and pine purée. But when a team of Indian scientists specialising in biomedical text mining examined the molecular structure of thousands of Indian recipes, they found that the flavours in the ingredients most commonly used together really didn’t match up at all. In fact, in some dishes, the spices that make them what they are actually strengthened this 'negative food pairing’ effect. They looked at 2,543 dishes in eight different sub-cuisines - Bengali, Gujarati, Jain, Maharashtrian, Mughlai, Punjabi, Rajasthani and South Indian - and found that together they contained a total of 194 unique ingredients, which they separated into 15 categories: spice, vegetable, fruit, plant derivative, nut/seed, cereal/crop, dairy, plant, pulse, herb, meat, fish/seafood, beverage, animal product, and flower. While some dishes contained a whopping 40 different ingredients, the average number was seven. The data scientists then came up with a ‘flavour network’ to figure out which ingredients were linked on a molecular level, and where they appear in the different dishes. The first thing they discovered was that the cuisine as a whole was characterised by strong negative food pairing - so the complete opposite of what Blumenthal is doing. "They also found that specific ingredients dramatically effect food pairing,” MIT’s Technology Review reports. "For example, the presence of cayenne pepper strongly biases the flavour sharing pattern of Indian cuisine towards negative pairing. Other ingredients that have a similar effect include green bell pepper, coriander, garam masala, tamarind, ginger, cinnamon and so on.” “Our study reveals that spices occupy a unique position in the ingredient composition of Indian cuisine and play a major role in defining its characteristic profile,” the team writes in a pre-published version of their study on arXiv.org. The differentiating factor that could have made Indian cuisine so different from other cuisines around the world is that some of the ingredients began as medicinal, rather than flavour, additives. “We conclude that the evolution of cooking driven by medicinal beliefs would have left its signature on traditional Indian recipes,” the researchers say. Not that we need science to tell us that Indian food is amazing, but it's always fun when it does. http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-figure-out-why-indian-cuisine-tastes-so-amazing

Hello, Greetings, There are only around 5 indians on the forum and help from them would be highly appreciated.I want to buy watercooling parts in India and don't want to get it shipped internationally as that would cost quite a lot.I checked on every site I could think of but still no luck.I tried some local PC markets but they said in India you would have to mod a car radiator to watercool your PC and they cost around 400 USD.Is there any way I could get parts in India? Thank you.

Hey Guys! I’m Sarthak. This is my first PC build (Inspired by the great Linus of course!). My PC budget is about 1600 USD. I should also mention that I’m from India and the pc components are about 20% costlier here. So please take that into consideration! So let’s get on with it! Aim So the main use of this PC is going to be: · Gaming (Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Counterstike, DOTA) · Web browsing (Multiple TAB) · Watching Movies · Light Photoshop · Light Video Editing Monitors JUST ONE. I have even finalized it. The LG 29” Ultra Wide Display running at a resolution of 2560x1080. Cost: 500USD. Peripherals I will need a gaming mouse and keyboard. Monitor is mentioned above. I have speakers already. A webcam will be required. I already own a genuine copy of Windows 8 so money saved there! Why are you upgrading? Simply because my present laptop (Dell N5010) cannot meet my needs anymore! So lets move ahead to the part list: PART LIST: CPU: Not decided yet. Linus suggests the FX6300 (120 USD) but I’d prefer an Intel i7 based CPU. Cooling: Corsair H40 – 80 USD SSD: Samsung 840 series 120GB SSD - 80 USD Hard Drive: WD Green 3TB – 60 USD Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 – 85 USD (I should mention that I need motherboard with WiFi/Bluetooth support) Case: Coolermaster HAF 912 – 100 USD Video Card: ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 - 450USD RAM: Corsair Vengance (2x8GB) – 210 USD Power Supply: Corsair CX430W - 80 USD Please let me know your suggestions, and improvements if necessary and THANK YOU! You guys rock. Peace Out

Hello, Greetings, I want to buy a clear windowed side panel for my full tower atx case but the problem is I live in India so is there any site from which I can buy it? Do they even sell those? Does it depend on the size of my case?

In a breakthrough, Indian researchers have developed an innovative method to re-use discarded plastic bags by transforming them into fuel to power car engines. Researchers developed a relatively low-temperature process to convert certain kinds of plastic waste into liquid fuel as a way to re-use plastic bags and other products. Among the plastic waste is the common polymer, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which is used to make many types of container, medical and laboratory equipment, computer components and, of course, plastic bags. Recycling initiatives are in place in many parts of the world, but much of the polyethylene waste ends up in landfill, dispersed in the environment or in the sea. Chemist Achyut Kumar Panda of Centurion University of Technology and Management Odisha is working with chemical engineer Raghubansh Kumar Singh of the National Institute of Technology, Odisha, to develop a commercially viable technology for efficiently rendering LDPE into a liquid fuel. Given that most plastics are made from petrochemicals, this solution to plastic recycling brings the life-cycle full circle allowing a second use as an oil substitute. The process reported in the International Journal of Environment and Waste Management, could, if implemented on a large enough scale, reduce pressures on landfill as well as ameliorating the effects of dwindling oil supplies in a world with increasing demands on petrochemicals for fuel. In their approach, the team heats the plastic waste to between 400 and 500 degrees Celsius over a kaolin catalyst. This causes the plastic's long chain polymer chains to break apart in a process known as thermo-catalytic degradation. This releases large quantities of much smaller, carbon-rich molecules. The team used the analytical technique of gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry to characterise these product molecules and found the components of their liquid fuel to be mainly paraffins and olefins 10 to 16 carbon atoms long. This, they explain, makes the liquid fuel very similar chemically to conventional petrochemical fuels. In terms of the catalyst, Kaolin is a clay mineral - containing aluminium and silicon. It acts as a catalyst by providing a large reactive surface on which the polymer molecules can sit and so be exposed to high temperature inside the batch reactor, which breaks them apart. The team optimised the reaction at 450 degrees Celsius a temperature with the lowest amount of kaolin at which more than 70 per cent of the liquid fuel is produced. In other words, for every kilogram of waste plastic they could produce 700 grams of liquid fuel. The by-products were combustible gases and wax. They could boost the yield to almost 80 per cent and minimise reaction times, but this required a lot more catalyst one kg of kaolin for every 2 kg of plastic. Source

An indian character can crash the current version of iOS, 11.2.5 as well as macOS and iOS 10.x. This also doesn't just affect Messenger. it seems any app with crash to varying degrees if this character is pasted into it. The only permanent fix is upgrading to iOS 11.3 which is in beta still. The only other way to fix it it seems is to restore the phone. Apple really isn't having a good time with iOS 11. Source UPDOOT: Fix has been sent out to mainstream devices.
