@Zmei_Hhsss Tbh people who want to work at a university aren't in it for money. They're driven purely by passion. If they wanted, they could instead work at research lab of Google Deepmind or Meta AI and make huge bucks. But then they would lose academic freedom and be tied to company vision

@PythonPr "We had to cross the river to go to school back in the old days" but with coding 😂

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@manabsays Sorry but I don't want to watch the WC in *dan doe je al gek genoeg* 😂

BBC or SBS are better options

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@guyfromhills JioHotstar is actually a decent streaming service imo. They have pretty good collection of tv shows like Succession, Hacks and GOT and I've never faced any issues with their streaming app.

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Yashagarwal9911 It's not about the cost, it's about the substandard service - only allowing 720p while advertising it as 4k, reducing device limit from 3 to 1 a day before opening, people not being able to log in, the lagging issues...

You're going to charge ₹800 at least have basic competence

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@HijamKhadang @baxnall Yeah to be fair there are regions of India where football is popular like Kerala, Bengal and the North East.

@WhyNaruffy @shamikiscooking Can you dm me too?

Thanks in advance!

@sreemoytalukdar @ZEE5India Is there some retired lawyer somewhere who can file a case against Zee scamsters 😂

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Devanshrao7 @hydrationmis Dude afaik it's not 1080p. They've just renamed 720p as 1080p. And they're showing 480p or 360p for 720p. Ek number ke chutiye hai.

@MarcusMergulhao Indians: "Can we get Peter Drury?"

Zee scamsters: "We have Peter Drury at home"

🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Pran__07 Some of us don't have TV where we live, otherwise I would've never opted for this Zee shit.

@Vkp58446053 @Shreya469228360 Should've bought VPN from get go. Most VPNs are worth ₹1000+ per month. Now there's no point buying it unless you're a die hard football fan.

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@bujem22 Don't forget they forced us to buy 3 months subscription for a world cup that's going to end in 41 days. Scamming ki bhi seema hoti hai.

I feel I should've just bought a VPN. The BBC and itv are showing it for free if you're from the UK 😉

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Teddydarshan Uhhh... Try Brave I guess. Or try turning off adblockers. I strongly suspect that's the reason it's not showing up.

#FifaOpenerOnZEE5

If anyone's not able to watch FIFA WC on Zee5, switch to Opera browser it works there, it seems it doesn't work on Chrome.

On a side, as a developer, I'm sure these morons must've vibe coded their streaming service 🤦🏾

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@ZEE5India You should get trophy for being the worst streaming service in India. Never buying anything from Zee again!

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Lunatic_Joker23 @p_chandu99066 Ikr. How shameless can you be to sell the FIFA World Cup in 720p in 2026!😭

Wonder if they underestimated the traffic and then capped it. The streaming app kept forcing me to watch it in 240p several times so there's that 🤷🏾

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@GodPlaysCards I'd recommend The Return of the King by William Dalrymple. It's about the British invasions of Afghanistan and the Great Game between Britain and Russia. Really fun and informative.

[Abhishek Mhatre @cestabhi]

@Surendar__05 They're not really open source tho, right? Maybe for general use. Pretty much all of them require subscription or API.

But at least they're cheaper than Claude or Open AI
