#TeamPixel since 2020. It is true that Pixel designs are much better and consistent than the mess. But the Pixel 4 and 5 series were the most beautiful and handy phones. Newer phones are just too big and slightly unpleasant (to me).

MacBooks have worse keyboards than a lot of budget laptops. ThinkPads and XPS have such nice keyboards. I have started to feel that most people pretend that they like the MacBook keyboard.

My university had the hi speed internet capped at 1 GB per day per number. Someone found out that if you start torrenting and logout of the portal, it still works and you save your 1 precious GB. Our best guess was that the portal only blocked 80/443 traffic without login. 🤷

Fun in/with Computing has been long dead in India. Combine it with the shitty DSA heavy(only) selection process imposed by “big tech” and blindly followed by everyone else. Rarely one cares about actual skills. The answer to why becomes simple… No DSA… No Job.

By the way, the credit for the support goes to K (Kailash) and our tech team. I am just the guy who posts about all the FOSS stuff they do 😬 I'm only good at Excel, and that is an overstatement. 😬

Got replaced by a nicer "Security Alert" message after escalation. I totally support the security requirements. But how is a more secure and private GrapheneOS risky? I wish Vijay Shekhar Sharma come across my tweet. I have been a PayTM user since 2015. It would be sad to leave now.

A 10-layer PCB with 900 components into a pocket-sized device. Port placement on Comet wasn't arbitrary. Each is positioned for: - Physical balance - Thermal management - Usage ergonomics - Manufacturing feasibility
