@ritujoon2j yes in India, its a must have thing

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

@IndianTechGuide What about some smart-ass who always finds loopholes and excuses to break the rules?

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

Not every AI race needs billions in VC money.

Sridhar Vembu’s approach makes sense. Build strong AI foundations without betting the company on expensive infrastructure at peak prices.

When much of the spending depends on VC funded companies spending investor money, the demand may not be as solid as it looks.

Zoho might scale slower, but staying profitable beats chasing a bubble.

Do you think that authorities are unaware of such a massive % of Bengaluru’s PG accommodations are unauthorized?

Weak enforcement and corruption let builders break rules while complaints go nowhere.

If the state government want, can they not digitalis registration, regulate inspections and take strict action to fix this?

The government has the tools. The real question is whether there’s any will to act when corruption pays.

Something to be proud of.
He delivered the memorial lecture "Gravity from Strings and Strings from Gravity" in Stockholm on 22 October. The medal, awarded yearly since 1988 by Stockholm University and the Nobel Committee for Physics, has previously gone to Hawking, Higgs and Weinberg.

@afterxleep that is the best thing to do to get recharged

@thomasunise Making code work is the easy part. Making sure it still works years later, follows the right guardrails, and survives negative testing is a different story.

Honestly, being a good developer takes more than just writing code that runs. So yeah, I agree.

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

@pmddomingos Couldn't agree more. AI amplifies the way you think, reason, and solve problems. The stronger your thinking, the more value you can unlock from it. It's not about replacing intelligence, but multiplying it. I am experiencing it every single day.

iPhone Duo :
-Ditched Face ID for a side fingerprint button.
You have to hold it down instead of just a quick tap which adds so much weird friction to unlocking it.

-The app experience is incredibly rough right now.
Opening things up on the inner screen mostly just stretches the interface out instead of actually giving you more space to work with.

-Way thicker than a Pro Max makes holding it closed feel like gripping a heavy remote control.
no telephoto lens at all.

- Inner selfie camera is this under-display thing that spits out muddy four megapixel shots.

You basically pay a massive premium to get a everyday phone just so you can occasionally have a bigger screen for videos. Good luck!

What is the reason that majority Indians is becoming so uncivilized?

Weak, inconsistent law enforcement -easy bribes, low penalties, rare consequences?

plus cultural norms viewing public rules and spaces as “someone else’s problem,” not shared responsibility.

And our so called Gen Z inherit this from their parents .

But I would put the single most reason on top which is affecting all Indians not just young mind is social media glorification. Young generation take pride in recklessness.

And there is a law for everything but when should authorities accept that compliance occurs mainly from fear, not habit.
Till then, these mindless people will continue to make other’s life hell.

GOI openly acknowledging this threat is a good sign. But recognition alone won't protect India.

These groups are using modern tech and information warfare effectively. AI can make things worse, especially when used to target government systems and institutions.

Meanwhile, our own security practices seem to be moving in the opposite direction. The eMudhra blunder has exposed Indian system.

And the zero accountability mindset in Indian corporate and bureaucratic circles isn't helping.

Just search eMudhra on X. The mockery is already spreading, with accounts from China and the US joining in.

Honestly, I fear bigger cyber threats targeting India may still be ahead.😒

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

No judgment or complaints, but I’ve noticed a trend lately: people claiming deep expertise in Tech/AI, building AI agents, yet struggling with basic concepts taught in school. Or they could just ask AI.

For example, not knowing the role Certificate Authorities (CAs) play in securing HTTPS connections.

If it’s just for engagement, fair enough. 😄

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

eMudhra single-handedly managed to damage the reputation of Indian techies globally with its sheer incompetence and unworkable decisions. And now, instead of owning up to it, they’re blaming social media. Peak Indian corporate Babu mentality, zero accountability, always someone else’s fault. 🙄

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

A certificate authority has one job: make trust possible. eMudhra somehow turned that into a security nightmare.

Private keys so weak that one was reportedly just the number 4. You couldn't script a more embarrassing failure.

These keys could potentially enable forged certificates, website impersonation, or malware signing. Browsers blocked them, the stock took a hit, and India got dragged into the mess. Just look at the social media posts and comments about India techie.

Now the government needs an independent audit and a serious review of every contract awarded to this company.

But Facebook is still up?? Mark hurry up.. shut it down till NSA confirms all good

[NSA Cyber @NSACyber]

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

@IndianTechGuide India ranked as the fourth largest iPhone market worldwide with 3.45 million shipments. So we are rich with high buying capacity :)

Creating a game by yourself when I was a teen:

Learn C, assembly, computer architecture, memory layout, interrupt tables, digital images, digital sound and synthesizer, optimizing math by avoiding multiplication lol, how to program various different chips and peripherals in the computer without drivers etc. No debugging, mistakes halt the computer that takes minutes to boot. Sometimes you damage a disk or chip. Spend months working on it!

Parents have no idea what you’r doing.

Creating a game “from scratch” as a teen now.

Ask LLM to make a game. Say: I made a game! Parents: omg so proud of our kid.

[A Kumar @ComputerGuy__]

Agree. The tech is real and accelerating, but the valuations look stretched. OpenAI/Anthropic face brutal competition from open models, hyperscalers, and specialized tools. In coding, smaller local models + IDE players (JetBrains, etc.) or Microsoft & Google look better positioned long term. Bubble bursts, capabilities don’t.
