Plan for 2025 BBD / GIF Sale

The problem is not only jamming of cartridges it’s also about return of investment
yes agreed, there is always a cost of convenience and a question of view point. for most people, a car or a high end mobile would never give the return of investment, but they still go for them. Over last 9 years, I have got about 10K prints (half of that during covid) and even more scans. So I guess it also paid off for me in terms of at least original cost.
 
I have completely stopped using pen drives/portable drives on any public PC or cafe due to the risk of viruses/malware.
1. Watching videos off my digital library on TV.

2. Taking files for printout to a cyber cafe. Don't have need to maintain a personal printer anymore.

There are other uses too, like taking quick, temporary offline backup of important files, carrying files to non-networked machines, etc.

Internet is the primary source of malware and viruses removable storage devices are just carriers
It's true that, internet is the primary source of internet but it's also true that most cafe computers are badly infected. At home we generally have Anti Virus and if someone doesn't they are at very high risk.

Once you hand over the pendrive to the cafe guy, you have no control.

Some pendrives have a write lock, I am assuming you are doing that before taking it to cafe. If not, please do, it can be a life saver

It used to be a great problem decade ago I haven’t encountered any malware in last decade
 
SO, I am planning to buy a big screen tv for myself. Right now, I am using a Sony old one, not Android or anything, a normal one, purchased it (my mother’s money, unemployed at that time) in 2015 at 42K something. Since my world revolves around tv (lives alone, can't travel, etc) this year I am planning to buy a tv with a good software experience and display. Right now, I am watching online content on my MacBook Air (M2), but the small screen doesn't provide a good watching experience. Just for the sake of software, I am using it. NOTE: Lookmovie2 (don't judge 😁, I have all the subscriptions including LIONSGATE, MGM, Apple TV plus, but still not all the shows are available on INDIAN OTT-location restriction) only plays on computer (not Safari though, using Chrome. )

So, suggest me a good big-screen display, probably 60 inches above. For sound, I already have an LG soundbar and woofer, so it’s not a very important criterion. If you can share the link, that would be excellent.
The price range is below 80-90K.
THANKS.

Did you research on OLED TVs ? Do they have burning or green line issues like OLED smartphones?

If you current TV is functional and display quality is good enough then buy a amazon fire stick and enjoy android tv experience. It’s not worth buying a new TV just because old is not smart TV

Amazon fire stick working-can u explain a bit, I mean, with that i can watch any streaming platform? Does it comes with those voice controlled remotes (I saw one in my colleagues home, she just said Open DD NEWS on you tube, and it opened instantly without any hassle, her TV’s price was around one lakh she said).

First check your existing tv has HDMI port then fire tv stick can work with it. And yes it comes with voice operated remote which works fine. Mostly all common streaming apps are available in fire tv store

Yes Amazon fire stick does everything . Your old TV acts like a monitor, everything by fire stick. Google any YT vids to see how it works.
Our 11 year old LCD LG TV became smart with firestick (~3K INR) . All you need is a TV with HDMI port

I used a firestick 4 years with my old LCD TV before the LCD panel died. For effective use of firestick you will need Amazon Prime subscription and subscriptions to all other streaming platforms that you want to watch. It runs on modified android OS (Fire OS). The remote supports voice control. If you have a echo device registered to same amazon ID, you can even control the firestick with voice control through the echo. You old TV must have HDMI input support. You can also connect to any bluetooth enabled sound system/soundbar for better experience.
Recently, I have switched to a Mi Fire TV (with built in fire OS).

Yes you can watch any platform

You need to just plug fire stick in HDMI port of your TV and change input source to HDMI
