    Selling i5 6600 but what's next? i5 9400 or ryzen 2/3600

    I suggest you stick with what you have. Why are you selling? You won't get a good price because cheaper options are available in the market: https://www.olx.com.pk/item/hp-desktop-computer-slimline-260-i5-6th-gen-pc-iid-863500790 As for ryzen if you were going to buy one you would buy the cpu...

    My cousin wants to build a Ryzen PC for gaming. Stupid idea?

    x3470 is core2duo architecture. 4th gen i.e. haswell is far better than that. Zer0 you've probably made your decision by now so do tell us what you went with.

    Moving back to Pakistan -- Question related to bringing my gaming PC

    Yes it'll work for both. Computer UPS do not provide long backup time. They are designed to protect your computer from short term voltage changes and to provide just enough time to save files and shutdown the PC in the event of a mains powerloss. So let's say 10-15 minutes backup time. For...

    Moving back to Pakistan -- Question related to bringing my gaming PC

    You'd probably be better of selling your PC at home and buying a new one in Pakistan. Most things are available here. As for power supply fluctuations any computer UPS will suffice. They all have voltage regulation built in these days. It's called AVR. An 800va-1kva one will be enough for your...

    PTCL Broadband 8Mbps Low Line Parameters but Good SNR. Why?

    The problem is you're still using ptcl. Switch to 4g already. PTCL is for suckers.

Instead of 4 operators we will be left with just 3. The reduced competition will hurt consumers but is to be expected in...

    Wireless Service Providers in Karachi

    How much do you plan to download in a month? To downgrade from the 20Mbps that zong is giving you to 2Mbps is going to suck. You also won't be able to download as much on 2Mbps - the lower speed itself is a limit on how much you can download. I don't recommend doing this. Get a fiber connection...

    2G will live on in the shape of IoT devices. There's also a case to be made for 2G being the gateway through which you rope in new low income customers who will eventually upgrade to your faster services. So they can't get rid of 2G completely. What they can do is get rid of 3G. Other countries...

    Sales tax 19.5 percent on broadband users in sindh .

    FED is not sales tax. FED goes to the center while this is something the provincial govt. is levying. The environment for IT is generally very hostile in Pakistan. It's why our ICT exports are in single digit billions while indians export $100bn worth of IT services annually.

    Can you subscribe 4g MBB bundles on any sim or only on the sims which come with the MBB device?

    data sims (aka internet sims) may not support mbb bundles. it varies from provider to provider. also why do you say that zong is expensive? zong and jazz are pretty equally priced.

    Reliable Service Provider in Gulshan e Iqbal, Karachi

    try the sims of jazz and zong in a 4g phone. run speedtest.net to check the speeds. then buy an mbb device of the one that works the best. if jazz and zong don't work good in your area try telenor but finding a 4g phone compatible with that provider will be hard. so maybe borrow a friend's mbb...

    Wifi problem. Do I need a new wifi router, or, a wifi router and modem?

    I find it difficult to believe that torrenting would cause this. Searching that router (fiberhome) I find that it has a security bug in it. Maybe it's part of a botnet and that's why its so resource strapped? You should upgrade its firmware. That might fix it. Another option is to try...

    Reliable Service Provider in Gulshan e Iqbal, Karachi

    sure there is. the cellcos are reliable when they are allowed to operate by the government. when aren't they allowed to operate? 3-4 days a year during muharram and sometimes eid. otherwise they are very very reliable.

    Using Non-PTA Approved phones?

    They should implement an email support ticketing system like kayako support or zendesk. This helps keep things organized. Every run of the mill hosting provider has one while over here in Pakistan even large organizations don't use one.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
