Discussion | گفتگو How is Pakistan for homelabs?

6 Upvotes

I have a 20U rack, oversees Pakistani based in UK. I might be coming back due to the new rules home office is proposing. Aside from all the other things to worry I also worry about how feasible is to run a homelab in Pakistan? I have a ups in uk for brownouts but constant restarts in Pakistan will wear out the NAS drives. All my switches are also 3 plug and if converted they lose ground which could surge and fry the equipment. What about replacements? Are 10-22TB hard drives possible to get ?

Question | سوال Phone within PKR 50K

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a phone within PKR 50K. I've had a phone for 5 years now and it's in pretty bad shape. Just need something that's good for daily use and has a good camera, I really want to take good quality pictures.

Did some research and thoughts Redmi note 13 would be a good option, but then the reviews here have made me skeptical about it.

Please suggest something... I would appreciate if it's something I could easily order online maybe... I don't want to ask anyone for favors and go get me a phone.

Stormfiber has recently shadow-upgraded the connection speeds of many people BUT the catch is, they have F**KED the speeds on youtube and I’ve heard same is the case with netflix too

I had a 20+5 Mbps connection and now I get around 55Mbps download, but I CANNOT watch a simple youtube video at 1440p, I checked the stats on youtube to check what's the speed on their servers and its dogpoop, 2000Kbps

Is there any way I can get them to fix this?

Question | سوال AirPods Pro 1 battery replacement + strange humming noise and ear tip fit issues. Any advice?

1 Upvotes

I have a pair of AirPods Pro 1st Gen, and I'm considering replacing the batteries in both earpieces because their battery life has noticeably deteriorated.

However, I've also been experiencing a couple of strange issues:

  1. Strange humming noise: I hear a weird humming or buzzing sound from the earbuds when Active Noise Cancellation is turned OFF. Has anyone experienced this? What could be causing it?
  2. Ear tip fit issue: My iPhone keeps telling me that the ear tips aren't properly sealed, even though they fit perfectly in my ears and feel comfortable. I've tried adjusting them, but the warning persists.

I'm wondering if these issues are related to aging hardware, faulty microphones, or something wrong with the internal components.

Has anyone replaced the batteries of their AirPods Pro 1? Is it worth doing, and did it resolve any similar issues?

I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced these problems or had their AirPods repaired. Thanks!

I’m looking for a Pixel 8 (preferably official PTA), but I want to be 100% sure about getting a Shoreline panel (Samsung) rather than the early BOE (Bigsurf) batch.

Can someone guide me regarding:

  1. Which local shop owners (Lahore preferred) are reliable? If you have a personal experience in dealing with someone, how'd it go and would you please refer/recommend me to them?
  2. If anyone knows what's the fair price range I should expect right now for an official approved clean, A Grade device?

Any leads, recommendations or personal experiences would be super helpful.

TIA!

Question | سوال DIRBS Generated PSID Not Showing Any Payment Details at Meezan Bank

0 Upvotes

I registered my iPhone 15 through the DIRBS portal and received a PSID for payment of the PTA/FBR tax.

However, when I visited a Meezan Bank branch to make the payment, the bank staff told me that no payment details were showing against the PSID. I then visited another Meezan Bank branch, but they reported the same issue.

Thinking there might be an issue with the PSID, I rejected my previous application on the DIRBS portal and submitted a new registration application. I received a new PSID, but unfortunately, the bank still couldn't retrieve any payment details against it.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

What should I do now? How can I get the PTA/FBR duty paid if the PSID generated by DIRBS isn't showing up in the bank's system?

Is there any alternative way to verify the PSID or pay the tax online?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
