PlayStation India's hike the price of PlayStation Plus. H/T to @VinayakSoni07 for the heads up. Prices went up from Rs. 150 to Rs. 2,280. #PS5#PSPlus#India
Google saying millions of people use AI Overviews is like saying millions of people love to breathe 500+ AQI air. They don’t. They simply exist in a place where the air has been polluted and have no choice to leave.
Stop shoving down AIO people’s throats and see the number drop.
Another example of AI generating misleading headlines in Google Discover
None of these videos were about iPhone 17 launch. The summaries are repetitive and redundant.
@Google I don't think anyone is dumb enough to need a 4-word repetitive summary of a 10-word title (1/5)
Here's what @RobinJX7 has to say about the #Xiaomi17Ultra
"I tested this when comparing the phone with the Google Pixel 10 Pro in a tricky lighting situation where the sun was passing through a set of trees. When pointing the camera directly towards the light, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra produced a much more balanced image overall. The highlights were controlled while the foreground still retained good brightness. The Pixel handled the highlights well, too, but it tended to darken the foreground more to protect the bright areas."

So, it's been 7 days since we've been stuck in Doha. I wanted to share a few updates, since I have been getting a lot of calls/messages:
1. We have no relief flights from Doha to India yet. And, there's no visibility in the horizon either.
2. Indian Embassy of Qatar is mostly incommunicado. The phone lines are near-impossible to connect to. This is adding to the anxiety of many stranded Indian passengers here. @IndEmbDoha I know because we have a WA group to help share information.
3. Accommodation and food are still being provided. And, Qatar Airways has a 24hr help desk at our hotel.
4. Many folks have managed to exit out through Riyadh and Saudi Arabia with on-arrival VISAs (note that you need a stamped UK, US, or Schengen VISA for the same). We haven't done that yet because one of our colleagues doesn't have that option.
5. Thankfully, the embassy @IndEmbDoha has offered to facilitate VISAs for the same but with the caveat that they need 48 hours to respond. I believe -- considering the emergency -- it should be handled faster. Also, the form requires us to share onward flight ticket from any Saudi AIRPORT. What date should we book it for, if we have no clarity on how long it will take for us to get a VISA?
Truth be told, I started off calm and composed, despite the loud blasts, and the sirens. But now, the anxiety and frustration is setting in. It is further exasperated by the fact that many folks have been able to get out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
@DrSJaishankar@MEAIndia if you could help all the stranded passengers here and help us in anyway possible, that would be great.

A lot of our friends in the tech industry are stuck at airports in the Middle East. Hoping that situation gets solved quickly so that they can reach to their destinations. Stay strong my friends.
Then we go Mr. @robinjx7's PC performance piece on @gizbot which is a good read. Capcom's PC ports are solid but this deep dive into the visual options is fantastic. https://t.co/OSkp0BDhnG
