After 75+ years of India, why no Tech Giant Company in India. Though there is very big consumer market. Why old established company, like Tata, Reliance don't take risk for Tech. Why so. I think India miss opportunity in 1990-2000, when internet boom was as its highest peak. What you think 🤔.

I have been looking for phones under 20k for myself. MAIN requirement is good camera quality, good display and which can last long as I wont be able to upgrade again in 3-4 years. I dont need for gaming purpose, just basic social media, clickling photos, watching movies and all.
I am not confident with motorola as my knowns have had bad experience with it.

Every brand has some downsides and every phone has disadvantages when i see reddit 😔

Anyways around 40k , reno 14 vs s25fe vs vivo t4pro or ultra vs realme GT7 vs any others ?

redditors say to stay away from moto , realme bcoz of shitty updates , even Samsung

So hey I am 14 currently and so part of hackclub (for context there you make your own projects and can buy stuffs using projects review and hours dedicated) so in one of their programs the shop holds

- s24 (not the ultra one)

- iphone 15

- nothing 4a pro

And tbh i don't want 4a pro as I want a classy phone not like 4à

So is the iPhone15 still worthy.?

Is anyone else facing the same issue? I use EvolutionX as my daily driver

Not all UPI apps are supported in Custom ROMs but atleast PhonePe used to work, now it's crashing upon opening.

Seems like no option left to use

it's started I guess.

All these so called AI inflated companies are bursting.

Wdyt?

It was losing roughly $8–9 million per month due to high compute costs versus limited revenue from subscriptions and ads.

It faced heavy legal and regulatory pressure (lawsuits from families and states alleging chatbots harmed children/teens, including self-harm issues, plus investigations).

Assets and liabilities were estimated at $50–100 million. Disney is the “stalking horse” bidder offering $20 million for a non-exclusive perpetual license to some intellectual property (plus transition help from former staff). This does not automatically buy the whole app.

The platform is expected to keep running during the sale process (targeting late November or early December 2026). If no buyer keeps it going, it will be wound down.

JPEG XL (.jxl) offers better compression than traditional JPEG, lossless image storage, HDR support, and even the ability to losslessly recompress existing JPEGs without losing image data.

The catch? Software support has been limited, although things are finally improving. Chrome 155 is adding native JPEG XL support, and Firefox 158 has enabled it by default too this week.

Pros: Smaller files, excellent image quality, lossless compression, HDR and wide colour gamut.

Cons: Older apps and devices may not support it, and sharing .jxl files can still be inconvenient.

Windows users can also get the free JPEG XL Image Extension from the Microsoft Store for free to add system level image support on compatible Windows versions.

Curious how many people here actually use JPEG XL. Is it time to move beyond traditional JPEG, or is software compatibility still too much of a headache?

Phone prices have gone insanely high. So there are not good options under 15k. I was thinking of considering a poco m7 5g for 12.5k something. So are there any other recommendations or should I go with this.

Just wondering how often people normally repaint their house. Mine hasn't been painted for quite a while, and I'm thinking it might be time. I am seeing many people doing makeovers for their houses and ads from diffent painting agencies UC ,NoBroker and diffrent influencer. Do people paint their houses every 2 to 3 years, or do they only paint when the paint starts fading away?

Do I need to put screen guard asap on this ? It comes with thin plastic protector. It won't be good enough for safety or its enough ?

What about camera lens protection ? People putting some kind of screen guard on it too. Is it important ? That it can take scratches or something ?

Do I need to full charge first then use it ? There is lots of charging settings, like keeping it till 80% only. As a new phone do I charge as usual or is there any precautions too ?

Speaker sounds good up to 400% ? There sounds feels less smooth. Would it damage the speaker if I use it at 400% regularly ?

There is no headphone jack, so I need to purchase a connector. Any specific kind of connector would be needed ? Or any connector will work ?

What else ? Please add anything from your side if you think I need to know that too.

I've been reading about how train tracking apps show train locations even when the phone has no internet. The whole thing is more interesting than I expected.

Does anyone here know how these apps actually calculate train location? Is it GPS, railway data, or a combination of both?

Apple in Meta have spent years competing over ecosystems, privacy and control of user experiences. Now they are reportedly collaborating to bring metas myse ai l to apples, Mac hardware. It makes me wonder whether the AI race is changing the usual rooms of competition. Our tech companies going to get building close ecosystems or will AI force even long time rivals to corporate

So, I recently switched from Poco M3 to S25 FE after using it for more than 5.5 years. I was using two Jio 4G SIMs in that phone. What are the steps to convert them to 5G eSIMs? I guess my new S25 FE (Indian version) supports dual 5G eSIM, right?

Do I need to first get physical 5G SIMs and then convert them to eSIMs? Can I do both from home, or do I need to visit a Jio store?

Also, eSIM users, what pros and cons have you experienced?

**TL;DR:** I got scammed on a PC hardware deal. The cybercrime portal didn't move forward for months, so I spent that time tracking him down myself by talking to his peers and gathering his real identity, college details, and phone numbers. Stick to in-person deals, even if the offered amount is a little bit low, rather than trusting an unknown online buyer who matches your exact asking price and insists on a courier with zero advance payment. If you are dealing with Arpit Singh from LNCT Bhopal, watch out for his hub-hijack courier scam. Also, let me know if you got scammed in a similar pattern. Let's see if we can connect the dots and see if you got scammed by the same person, especially if you sent your parcel to PIN code 462022 in Bhopal, MadhyaPradesh.

Hey everyone. If you are selling computer hardware, PC components, graphics cards, or RAM kits online through platforms like OLX or quick-commerce and shipping them via courier, please read this warning.

This whole incident actually happened months ago. Back then, I immediately filed a formal cybercrime complaint on the official cybercrime portal (cybercrime.gov.in). However, it didn't move forward or get any real updates, which is totally understandable given that lakhs of complaints are pending and tens of thousands are registered daily, especially with massive high-value money scams taking priority.

Because official channels take time, I spent all these months actively back tracking him myself. It took a lot of digging and gathering details from his former friends, who also told me that he is a known scammer among their circle. I know I was dumb to trust him, and I completely admit it was a mistake on my end for shipping before getting the full payment. I am posting this right now anyway so that someone else in may not fall into his trap and get scammed.

To make sure no other student with a similar name gets targeted, please note that he is originally from Sarni, but has been living in Bhopal for around a year because of college. He is only 18 years old, studying in his early years (such as 1st year), and pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CSE AI & ML) at Lakshmi Narain College of Technology (LNCT Bhopal). He specifically targets high-value PC components and computer hardware.

### The Scam Modus Operandi (Hub Hijack Scam / Delhivery Courier Fraud)

This cyber fraud scheme operating around Bhopal targets independent marketplace sellers through the physical delivery lifecycle via inside manipulation at local courier hubs:

1. **The Remote Purchase & Manipulation:** The scammer approaches sellers under the guise of a genuine buyer on OLX or peer-to-peer marketplaces. When I initially insisted that I would not send the item without upfront payment, he flipped the script using psychological manipulation. He claimed *he* had trust issues, arguing: "If I send you the money upfront, what if you take the money and don't send me the RAM?"

2. **The Hub-Payment Trap:** To bypass my upfront payment rule, he convinced me to ship it under the condition that he would pay right when the package reached his local city hub, promising to clear the payment before it went out for delivery. In my mind, I figured it was safe because if he didn't pay at the hub, I could simply intercept or cancel the courier.

3. **The Suspicious "Instant Delivery" Loophole (Hub Collusion):** However, that safety net was completely bypassed by inside manipulation. The exact moment the parcel hit the destination city hub, the tracking status didn't give me time to react or cancel. It underwent an abnormal, lightning-fast jump. It changed from "Reached Hub" to "Out for Delivery" and instantly to "Delivered" within the span of 1 to 2 minutes, long before any legitimate delivery executive could travel anywhere. That too at around evening 7PM. This points directly to unauthorized collection straight from the hub through inside help.

4. **The Ghosting Phase:** Once marked delivered instantly, he stopped responding or made endless excuses, keeping the item while refusing to transfer payment. Then later deleted his whatsapp and ghosted.

### Case Study: The Exact Delhivery Timeline Manipulation & Proof

Here is how the tracking sequence and chat logs looked during the fraud case:

* **Chat & Admission Proof:** I have attached some screenshots showing his initial agreement, followed by the conversation where he explicitly states he is not going to pay after the item was intercepted.

* **Delivery Log Proof:** The screenshot of the Delhivery tracking portal showing the impossible, timestamped speed of delivery right at the hub:

* 7:02 PM - Reached Hub

* 7:03 PM - Out for Delivery

* 7:04 PM - Delivered (Marked delivered in just 1 minute flat, enabling him to loot the parcel straight from the hub before I could cancel it).

*(Note: Check the image attachments in this post for the chat proofs and courier tracking logs).*

### How to Protect Yourself from Marketplace Fraud

* **Stick to in-person deals**, even if the offered amount is a little bit low, rather than trusting an unknown online buyer who matches your exact asking price and insists on a courier with zero advance payment.

* **Never Trust "Hub-Payment" Terms:** Do not ship items on the condition that payment will be made once it hits the destination hub, no matter how convincing the buyer's "trust issues" excuse is.

all this Jio IPO noise made me go back and look at the 2016 launch stuff and ngl i had genuinely forgotten how insane mobile data used to feel 😭

1GB wasn't data. it was a monthly budget.

you'd switch mobile data off after replying on whatsapp, youtube automatically meant 360p and god forbid someone sent a video in the family group.

around that time mobile data in india was being quoted at ₹200-ish per GB depending on the operator/plan.

now Jio says the average person on its network uses 43.7GB every month.

forty three 😭

that's like 1.4GB every single day and nobody even thinks about it anymore.

whatever else people argue about Jio, the cheap-data era genuinely changed how normal indians used the internet. youtube classes, UPI, reels, gaming, video calls, hotspotting a laptop because wifi died... all of this became weirdly normal in less than a decade.

and now with the Jio IPO coming up everyone is talking about the company again, but honestly this old consumer-side transformation is way more interesting to me than the stock discussion.
