Hey tribe, Do any of you know of good online courses for learning english out there which assume no knowledge of language basics? My mother wants to learn how to read and speak english.

Hey folks! Looking for recommendations for 24" secondary monitor I remember this topic has been widely discussed previously but it's not about the brand/model, instead I'm seeking to know what resolution would be best to work with a 15" MBP Retina display. With tons of display specifications in the market QHD, FHD, 4K, bla, bla, I'm concerned about quality. My use-case is surrounding design and development. So would like to have same quality while shifting eyes between the laptop and monitor. Any guidance in this regard is highly appreciated 🙏

Hey Folks, Looking for some inputs on upgrading the secondary storage on a HP PC (Slimline 450-013il) which currently has a 1TB HDD. I want to isolate this HDD and have an additional storage device . There is lack of power connectivity to add another SATA drive so I think the only option is to attach an SSD over PCIE through an expansion board where the SSD would be connected. The PC has 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM (2 x 2GB). The processor is Intel i3 4170 (3.7 Ghz, 2 core, 3 MB cache) I want to get the numbers on the read write speeds of the SSD to buy, so that the interaction between the device do not end up in bad bottlenecks. Notes to share - 1. I tried dual booting, failed miserably. Will share the details on that attempt if anyone here can help me with that as well. But to resort the data isolation among storage drives I think would be ideal because I know when I start messing things up while installing OSes, I might end up in a state where the data stored in the HDD is at risk. I want to avoid that hence the proposal for a another SSD. 2. The main purpose for the upgrade is to isolate my work laptop and the personal computer and accomplish all side projects from this machine. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks 🙂

Going down that path I suppose is not the right way, after a few comments on this from people on reddit. BIOS won’t recognise NVMe as bootable. Need to find as way to work with a SATA SSD

Hey tribe... I had asked this question earlier on a separate thread but needed some more info on it.. As suggested by the members I tried to setup a transferwise account for myself but when I tried to request a payment I got an error saying this facility is not available in your region. So wanted to know if it works in India....Also please tell me if services like these work like a wallet or when someone makes a payment to me its directly credited to my account.

💡 I came across the below excerpt from a book on building communities and I think it does a great job of answering the question - “Why did I start the RI community”. Thought it would be useful to share it here 🙂 “Just as a screwdriver (physical capital) or a college education (human capital) can increase productivity (both individual and collective), so too *social contacts affect the productivity of individuals and groups.*”  Like other forms of capital, social capital is an asset. Alone, we are limited. With others, we extend our capacity. Certainly, you can accomplish great things without a thriving community alongside you. But if you join forces—as company and customers, artist and fans, organizer and advocates—you’ll do more together than you ever could alone. Plus, you’ll likely have more fun in the process.

Anyone knows what is needed to get a loan (for home/land) when you are employed remotely by a company in the US? I don't have a payslip, infact, I send them invoices every month so they can pay.

This is for the tribe.

Hey! Need your opinion on this: A lot of remote companies, including VMWare, Facebook and now Stripe have decided to cut salaries of employees leaving the bay area and NY. This move has come under intense criticism by the remote work industry. Also, the existing remote companies have been localizing salaries and offering different scale to people at the same level and role but in different countries based on their living expenses. A lot of remote job seekers find it discriminatory and want to be valued for their skills and not location. Some remote workers show their residence in the US but then turn digital nomads often traveling through Asia and South America. What do you all think about this? Should remote salaries be based on location or skills?

Hello! Has anyone here applied for/looked into a UAE Freelancer visa?

Hey everyone! One of the other ideas in the idea bank was to create public profiles for people in this community. I experimented with Pory + Airtable, but to be honest, I am not very happy with this. But, Pory is a brand new platform and they will add new features soon. Looking for some quick feedback before I invest more time in this/kill this project: https://remoteindians.pory.app/ You can submit your profile using the button at the top-right.

Hey tribe. Need your opinion on buying a new Mac machine. My primary usage: Build mobile apps using Xcode/Android Studio/Visual code. Running iOS and Android emulators. Tons of chrome tabs. My preferences: 16" MBP, base model 1.9L 13" MBP, high end model 1.7L Apple India store is live today and it has cashback and No Cost EMI offers for HDFC cards. Is there anyone with a similar usage and is happy with any other models? I am struggling to decide between the two. Its hard to choose 2020 13" because of the less cost difference. I have heard 16" has many issues as well. Or should I just drop the idea and go become a web developer instead?

@here My co-founders are trying to understand where people face problem when they are thinking about immigration. One of them just got his green card. I will be really grateful if you guys can fill the form. It will probably take 2-3 minutes. And who knows, it might help you in the future. 😄

We have created a survey primarily targeted at Startup Founders, Remote Workers, Digital Nomads to try and better understand what they think about immigrating to another country to be able to start a business or to work in other countries.

Hello everyone, looking for a height adjustable table. My requirement is to work while standing. I've a relatively smaller budget(under 5K) compared to the ones generally required for such a setup, therefore, I'm thinking of topping my existing table with a smaller height adjustable table like https://www.amazon.in/Supreme-Scissor-Height-Adjusting-Table/dp/B07L85GXZY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=standing+desk&qid=1601222420&sr=8-4. I wonder if someone here has a similar setup. If so, would love to hear as to how is it working out for you.
