@kunalb11, please add a collapsible chat sidebar in WhatsApp Web.

With personal, work, groups, and channels all in one place, screen sharing exposes chat names and previews.

A simple collapse/hide toggle would be a small UX change with a big privacy win.

Apple should consider releasing a MacBook with built-in wireless charging for iPhones.

Imagine placing your phone on the laptop lid or palm rest and it starts charging instantly.

It may not be a huge revenue driver, but it'd be a genuinely useful innovation!

@HDFC_Bank I’ve been trying to make a part payment on my loan for the past week. Previously, this was processed after I raised a ticket with [email protected], but this time I’ve only received an automated acknowledgment with no further response.

Congrats to Google on Gemini 3! Looks like a great model.

Recently we’ve seen outages from AWS, Azure, and now Cloudflare.

Is this due to rushed engineering (a) vibe coding or weaker code reviews? It feels like there’s more to the story in the wild.

I feel like Google should default to AI mode for search. The old link index can be secondary/optional.

Frustrated with @ACKOIndia @ACKOSupport . My 2-year-old car’s AC compressor failed after water logging while driving, but they’re denying my claim, calling it a “product failure.” Comprehensive coverage should protect against incidents like this.

[Kovalan R @KovalanR]

@ACKOIndia @ACKOSupport #AckoFailed #insurance #CustomerExperience
@nitin_gadkari @nsitharaman we should've a platform to complain about such behaviour of insurance companies not giving the claim and falsely tagging it as product failure, not covered under insurance policy.

.@ElonMusk Issues Emotional Statement in the Final Minutes of Don Lemon Interview

“If I died knowing that I did what was right, or did my best to do what was right, and even if in the history books they said I did wrong, I would still feel okay about that. I care about the reality of goodness, not the perception of it.”

“We want to make sure that we don’t have, for example, demographic collapse, which is the case in a lot of countries — just very low birth rate. We want to avoid, obviously avoid, World War 3. Anything that is a civilizational risk. That is what I care about. Civilizational risks.”

According to Steve Jobs, there is one single thing that "separates the people that do things from the people that just dream about them."

It isn't their intelligence, their work ethic, or their financial means.

It's something much more simple...

When Jobs was only 12 years old he opened the phone book and placed a call to Bill Hewlett (the co-founder of Hewlett-Packard).

On the call Jobs asked if Bill happened to have any spare computer parts he could have for a project he was working on––building a frequency counter.

Not only did Bill have the parts, he gave Steve a job that summer working on the assembly line at his company.

To quote Jobs, "I was in Heaven."

So what did Jobs do that was so special? (Besides calling the co-founder of a computer company when he was just 12 years old).

He asked.

Yep, that's all.

So many of us are held back by our own self-doubt or unwillingness to ask that opportunities we never even know are available pass us by.

A simple question I've used for years that has served me well:

Will I be any worse off than am I now by asking for this opportunity?

If the answer is no, which I'd argue it almost always is, ––then you've got nothing to lose.

If you're too afraid to ask, you're too afraid to fail.

And without failure, you'll never grow.

Just take action. Just ask.

OK everyone's asking me for my take on the OpenAI stuff, so here it is. I have a strong feeling about what's going on, but no internal info so this is just me talking.

The first point to make is that the Dev Day was (IMO) an absolute embarrassment.

Early career years are painful.

You feel like an idiot 98% of the time - lost, confused and insecure.

I wish I had a cheat sheet of principles for my first job.

So I put one together.

Here are 20 things about building a career I wish I knew sooner:
