Non essentials can't be sold by eCommerce sites as expected from tomorrow.

No supply of non-essentials by e-tailers in lockdown: Govt reverses stand

The govt had previously permitted e-commerce companies to also supply non-essential goods during the lockdown period till May 3

Yeah, so order whatever you want ASAP.

My friend just ordered a hit racket, lol. And malaria cases are on a rise, so a wise thing to order actually.

How?

In New India, government decides what's essential to the masses.

How?

If your question was directed to me, he ordered it on Flipkart. And they just confirmed it's shipped. So you have a chance if you act quick. He ordered a couple of things in the morning itself.

I guess those in need (non essentials) now have to wait for may 3 & also pray that the situation will improve🙏🏻

Mixing toothpaste with some Petroleum Jelly makes it less corrosive and increases the "dry-out" time 🙂
Learned that from a LTT Video.

I ordered the spin mop and it was delivered next day by Amazon. Apparently apart from groceries and medicines, nothing is allowed.

i finally mange to get thermal paste, last week after lowdown , took over a week to deliver. PC works as good as if just got new, but its old now 😛
i got the mx4, the packing for the item costing rs 800 looked like sh!t including the injection, i honestly expected better packing and injection material but i think its price increased by retailers on Amazon after lock-down. however no issue on application, a tiny spreading plastic piece would have been helpful though..

Why not just leave the machine off? I really wouldn't advise anybody to risk the CPU unless of course it is considered dispensable. Heck, use a laptop, tablet or even your mobile phone till you get some thermal grease.

@abhinavmail1 once you take off a heatsink you automatically introduce an air bubble between the heat spreader and heat sink. Not ideal for heat transfer. Never take off the plain heat sink or a liquid cooler unless you have:

a) Isopropyl alcohol (or thermal paste cleaner) to clean the CPU and heat sink & remove ALL the old thermal paste and leave both surfaces spanking clean without even a dust spec on them.
b) Your choice of decent to good quality thermal paste.

I have been water/liquid cooling my home PCs since the early 2Ks and would not advise monkeying around with one of the most expensive parts of your PC build. Right now, both my home PCs run 240 mm Corsair AIO coolers because I can't be bothered with DIY kits as in the past there are too many overheads 🙂

ya i left it off and used Isopropyl alcohol to clean old one 😀.. it had totally become dry ..
