Could Crypto Indexes Change How People Measure the Market?

Investors often judge the crypto market by looking at Bitcoin’s price, but Bitcoin doesn’t represent everything happening across the industry. A crypto index could track a broader basket of assets based on factors such as market capitalisation, sector or network activity. This could make it easier to understand whether the wider market is actually growing or whether gains are being driven by only a handful of large cryptocurrencies. It could also give investors a benchmark against which to compare their own portfolios. Do you think crypto needs widely recognised indexes in the same way traditional markets have benchmarks such as the S&P 500?

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus honestly feels like the sweet spot in the lineup this year

I think Samsung phones are already setting benchmarks with its flagships. Its Ultra model already got attention with advanced AI features and display technology. Now the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus is gaining momentum with a much larger screen and battery capacity. There is no extra ultra bulk added this time. Truly, Samsung is quietly taking an edge with this lineup.

Samsung Galaxy S26 for Long-Term Use

Chip upgrades bring better benchmarks, but real usage matters. Samsung promises that it will support its flagship devices with software updates for 7 years. Does the S26 series feel future-proof enough for long-term use?

AMD R9 3xx series

AMD seems to have slowly let out rumoured launch dates and prices on its new series of cards that are supposedly better that the GTX 9xx series!

The fact that these new cards come with HBM over GDDR5 is something that sounds amazing! Can't wait to see some real benchmarks!

(Don't Buy Anything From Snapdeal) Snapdeal Defrauded Me, Again!

I ordered a XOLO Black a few days ago on 12th January and got it delivered on 16th January. In the description box of the product, the variant was described to have 3GB RAM. I was very happy when I got the device and it ran quite good until I loaded all of my apps in it. The multi-tasking performance was not good so, I thought that it's because of the HIVE Atlas ROM which the phone runs on as it is very buggy and is never updated.

On 29th January, I got really frustrated of the device because although it had 3GB RAM, it didn't work like it, leaving the software in it aside. So, I decided to do a few benchmarks on the device and I saw that it had ONLY 2GB OF RAM from the CPU-Z app. I instantly contacted Snapdeal support and asked for a refund and then they called me today.

They said, "Sorry sir, the 7 days time of returning the device is over, now we can't do anything regarding this."

So, what I can say about Snapdeal and how they defraud people is this:

1. Firstly put a wrong description of an item.
2. Let the buyer buy it.
3. Change the description of the item as soon as it is delivered.
4. Let the buyer do anything and complain, WE HAVE ALREADY GOT THE MONEY WITH US!

Also, I have a sick habit of taking screenshots of a product's description before buying it. I did the same for this one too. I'll be putting them over here too.

Notice that the seller of the device is "LAVA INT-GGN-Sohna BD-VOI" which sells the device which I've bought and then there's this seller "LAVA INT-HYD-MANDAL-VOI" which sells the 3GB variant of the XOLO Black so, I can't be lying because we can't do any kind of "Inspect Element" in their mobile app if they are thinking that I did this.

So, all I'd like to say is WTF SNAPDEAL? Even your competitor "Flipkart" also provides a 30-day return policy because they know that they don't run any frauds of this type.

THIS IS MY LAST PURCHASE WITH SNAPDEAL, BEFORE THIS, THE ALSO TRIED TO DEFRAUD ME WITH AN INFOCUS M330 WHICH I TRIED TO BUY, LOOK HERE: http://forum.gadgets.ndtv.com/t/infocus-m330-users-what-do-you-think-about-the-update-rolled-out-today-by-infocus/1889/1
