@LinusTech The desktop is an IKEA Saljan that I custom fitted on a Flexispot standing desk frame. I built an under-desk mount for my laptops and also got an eGPU behind with the RTX 3060 / 8GB.

Notable inclusions;
• Dell XPS 9510 (Personal)
• MacBook Pro (M3 Pro) (Work)
• DSLR-as-webcam

@consumerforum_ Here's an update @Zoomcar_India even after raising the issue on call + email+ chat, we have rec'd this reply from your customer care 🤣🤣

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

I have a booking slated for 11am IST with the delivery option chosen. The time is 12pm now and the host has been just maundering about getting here within the next 10m. @Zoomcar_India I am frustrated and there's been no way to get in touch with your customer care. Worst app ever

@consumerforum_ you Really need to look into this scam

@MSuresh100 @Iman82GM @apollographql I wonder if localtunnel is similar to ngrok with the exception that localtunnel abstracts the server-side URL generation?

@FedExIndia an international consignment shipped in the month of March hasn't reached me 3 months later. No status update / payment link for customs fee was sent over mail either. I've written to Pravesh Kiroula multiple times without luck. What should I do?

@EpicGames My friend just purchased this today to play GTA 5 and here's what we've got!

@RamzPuj Climate is botched all over India.

As per the latest travel rules, how many can travel in a 5-seater and 7-seater car within Mumbai city?

@vijayshekhar @Paytm Great initiative Paytm. <3

Unfortunately, though, the CoWIN open APIs no longer provide real-time slot availability data which, by corollary, means that all alert systems built on top of it wouldn't be as reliable.

@pavanduggal the web is in a quandary about crawlers. If I write a non-commercial web crawler that scrapes a Govt. page and uses that data to facilitate a tedious process, it "may" be illicit (or is it not?). But what if I mark that crawler open source and not host it publicly?

Yuvaraja developed an application 'Super Tatkal' that works faster than IRCTC owned tatkal and the money is credited into the IRCTC account. In India, he is jailed for that!

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

@IRCTCofficial @HuffPostIndia Your superfluous use of the word "illegal" makes it sound as though the guy bypassed your payment gateway and ate into your income. The boy would've just built a crawler and a captcha-solving system at best so just help me understand why that's illegal.

Are automobile dealerships dispensed from the lockdown?

For, B.U. Bhandari Mercedes Benz dealership in Pune has forced its employees to either make it to office or sit back at home at a loss of pay.

Curious to know if this is equitable.

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

@TOIPune What about dealerships and service centers in Pune? Are they allowed to operate with limited staff?

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

@Lady_Bheem It's actually my dad's workplace (automotive dealership) in Pune that's been operational since last April despite prevalent restrictive guidelines. I'm not very positive if they'd take a favorable decision even this time round.

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

Do private offices still remain open amid this pseudo-lockdown? #maharastralockdown

[Rahul Pillai @theGeekyLad]

@AjayKamalakaran It purportedly doesn't. The spike in cases "today" reflects the ones that'd have turned positive days "before" the lockdown. The result of the lockdown should, ideally, be realized in the next few days.
