Nice and lazy with a technology fetish...

@RamMNK @airindia To be fair I've only encountered step 4 on a Vistara flight where they refused to speak with any customers at the counter till there was 44 minutes left for the flight. I was forced to pay the "fare difference" for 6 of us to get on the next flight. Learn from better examples.

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

@RamMNK @airindia But you're special, so Air India SOP:
1. Disable web and kiosk check-in
2. Blame airport.
3. Ensure maximum delay in speaking with check-in staff.
4. Inform passengers that they're late and as a special offer give them the option to pay a partial price for the next flight.

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

SOP when a regular airline overbooks a flight:
1. Upgrade passengers
2. Offer passengers money to get on the next flight
3. Apologise to passengers, refund ticket price, offer tickets on next flight at discounted rates.

Since the last update on my 2A+, the battery life has dropped from about 20hrs/day to about 12 with the same usage. #plannedObsolescence much?

20 minutes added to my drive time because a traffic police car blocked one lane on the Panchsheel flyover to challan a scooter.
@dtptraffic , please don't contribute to the problem like this.

@ICICIBank @ICICIBank_Care this is like a running theme... Same thing here. Did you fire all the guards and sell all the drop boxes?

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

No cheque drop box would be bad enough but no guard? That's a bit reckless isn't it?

Terrible experience so far just getting roadside assistance. It's been 51 minutes since my first call and I finally got confirmation that your going to help. I'm dreading the actual claim process now for getting my car repaired.

@amazonIN I've been ordering more than usual from you, but the percentage of issues with delivered items has gone through the roof. Wrong items, crushed items, non delivery (but marked as delivered), wrong quantity of items... what's going on?

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

@ashwahi Currently a bit of both. It learns from information it is fed then throws its knowledge out through the "smarter" models. It already looks like it's going into a negative feedback loop where it's got mediocre information that its feeding itself.

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

@ParleFamily while it's nice to be able to help strangers, maybe you should report this issue to Google... you could help other strangers to save their money.

@coffeezaindia I love your coffee, and understand the issues with supply chain and demand planning, but would it be possible for you to deliver something packaged in the last few months rather than you getting rid of all your old stock on regular customers? #lookingForCoffeeAgain

@FrameworkPuter I still think it's just sad that my last Dell XPS gave me over a decade of active dev service by just upgrading the RAM and hard disk. I bought my first Framework 13 after I went to look for the next XPS and found they'd gone the way of the fruit company in upgradability terms.

@kevin2kelly The best food I've had in Thailand was at a concierge recommended place - I asked him where he would eat if he wanted good home food, but no one felt like cooking at home. It turned out to be a hole-in-the-wall low cost place with incredible food where everyone was smiling.

Merge a huge chunk of the lifetime carbon footprint of a petrol car into the manufacturing process to make an EV... then fix range anxiety by throwing in a petrol based generator. Of course you'd feel better if it's called a Power Turbine Generator!

@zomato @deepigoyal
It's been a long night and you've been war dialing this customer for 10 minutes... you're hungry and there's yummy food in the bag, but wait! You need to prove you delivered it and there's a bag on the gate or a ledge it would fit on... perfect framing!

@CyberPS_SEast https://t.co/iqSu13dstm requires a login, and is apparently in beta. Where do I register complaints?

@MaxHealthcare you've entered [email protected] as my email. "Update profile" on your app apparently only allows me to update my picture.
On a callback I was told to call the hospital. The hospital tried to "transfer the line" and failed 8 minutes later. Could you help?

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

@DelhiPolice , please educate your officers on noise pollution rules.
They seem to believe the supreme court has allowed people to blast music at any volume during the day.
Also, provide them with SLMs so they can enforce the rules and seize the equipment.

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

The original heat pads seem to be working just fine with a fresh layer of thermal paste over the processor to help.
Hey, and I bought my replacement before I knew it was this trustworthy.

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

@FrameworkPuter, my iced coffee froze the screen on my 13 - it DID take time before I found the screwdriver to unplug the battery.
TL;DR: Washed, dried, replaced one SODIMM and it's good as new.
Brings back memories of the sturdiness of my flooded water "cooled" PC/XT

[Sunil De @SunilDe]

I didn't wash the heatsink/Fan, and kept water away from the processor. There were some components on the underside of the MB that looked fried, but looked clean after the toothbrush & shower. I let it dry near a dehumidifier for a few days.
