@Niva_Bupa @BupaNiva @NivaBupaSupport @Niva_Bupa Thanks for responding. Pls check your DM. I have shared the details

@Niva_Bupa @BupaNiva @NivaBupaSupport Need to renew parent’s health insurance policy. Absolute horror show. No official renewal quotation. Renewal amount varies on portal what my agent sees. No help from your agents, disconnects call when they hear renewal, not looking to buy new

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

@Niva_Bupa Do you even have a working customer support?

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

And if this is the situation for just policy renewal, I’m wondering if I ever need to make a claim, what would that look like?

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

Interestingly, cannot download my own policy from the official portal. While cannot confirm this is apparently to discourage porting of policy close to renewal period. I just wanted to have a copy

@NewsLiveGhy Do you have no decency? @NewsLiveGhy . At such an hour of sadness, you are posting a clickbait article (his net worth, really?). This is in such bad taste, absolutely disgusting!

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

Your post made me realise that I’m in a much better position that I thought I was. Probably you are as well compared to somebody else. Relatively I guess, we are far better off than somebody else on this planet. We are lucky that way and that alone is reason enough to keep going, harder than ever. Good luck for 2025 👍

@streamieapp Looks yum, send some 🙂

Compiling large projects with little to none documentation and outdated patches start with a minor heart attack , followed by lots of hair pulling, lot of self doubt and praying to unknown Gods.

But when you see those build targets at the end of your nightmare, you feel the sort of happiness that can rarely be brought by a mortal and you feel like compilation Demi God.

Anyway, time to use my new build targets 😀

It funny how Xcode gives up that easily. It' usually just a wrongly named variable for me and instead of showing "Cannot find X in scope" - it just asks me to go through my code and figure it out for myself 🤦‍♂️

I’m seeing this weird network connectivity issue on iOS 18 where NWConnection fails randomly to establish a local connection even when all network interfaces are running. Not sure if it’s specific to iOS 18 since I currently don’t have another physical device to test on.

The issue is most prominent when the user installs the app for the first time and is prompted for the local area network access permission. Even when the user clicks “Allow”, connections seem to be blocked 🚫

It *usually* seems to work when I delete and reinstall the app.

Anybody else with this issue?

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

@streamieapp One issue with this though is that there is a lag when the user switches screen as the stream has to be restarted. What I’m trying right now is to see if it’s possible to work only with the high res stream and downscale it where high res is not needed.

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

@streamieapp They time out if the user doesn’t switch back within an interval

[Raktim Bora @_raktimbora]

@streamieapp Thats some super human process interleaving , good luck with those calls 🔥

There is probably one word to sum it up which is “obsession”.

Be obsessed with what you do and you can outthink, put pure effort, see opportunities, be consistent and razor focused.

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

There are different types of hard work:

1. Outthinking (a better strategy, a shortcut)

2. Pure Effort (working longer, intensity)

3. Opportunistic (positioning yourself to take advantage of change)

4. Consistency (doing average things for longer)

5. Focus (saying no to distractions)

Each of these requires a different type of hard work.

Want to figure out what the RTSP streaming URL is for your CCTV camera?

You will probably not find a more comprehensive list than this iSpy directory
