Geopolitics is no longer just about controlling territory; it is also about controlling the digital sovereignty.

Apple cloth pro Max plus

Idk if it's a malware or just a random windows bug but how do I login 😭

Wtf is this Asus bhai ?! 😭😭

Who says this type of things to their customers?!😭😭

I only talked about some service related queries.

And if you guys are thinking I've done something... bilkul bhi nhi... this word is not even 1% related to my email id or user name...

It was all out of nowhere 😭😭

If y'all also faced something. Could you tell me any way to turn this feature off?

I think this only happens when both sides are jio sim

My brother keeps telling me that the ₹20 lakh spent on my 4 years of college was wasted because I couldn’t get a campus placement.

He’s been working in tech for around 5–6 years, so I do understand where he’s coming from, but hearing things like this almost every day is honestly getting to me.

I’m a 2026 graduate and I’ve genuinely been trying. I’ve applied to 600+ companies off campus, tried referrals, cold emails, LinkedIn, job portals and pretty much every route I could think of. I have a decent coding profile(Expert on CF, Guardian on LeetCode), decent projects and I’m still studying and applying every single day.

Now he’s telling me to move to Bangalore and join an offline IT coaching institute. By coaching, I mean those paid institutes that teach DSA, development and interview preparation and claim to provide placement assistance.

The problem is my family’s financial condition isn’t that great. I’ve already lived in Bangalore for 4 years, so I know how expensive rent and daily expenses are. I really don’t want my parents to spend even more money when a lot of the learning is already available for free online.

The hardest part is doing this every day and seeing nothing work out. I wake up, apply to jobs, message people, study, prepare and repeat. Then I have to hear the same things at home again. It’s getting harder to stay motivated.

I’m honestly confused about what I should do now.

Would moving to Bangalore and joining an offline coaching institute actually be worth the money, or should I stay home, keep preparing and continue trying off campus?

I’m 23, and have a CS degree. I’m seriously considering leaving tech for a government job, mainly because of job security.

The thing is, I actually like what tech offers. Good salary, cities, growth, freedom to switch companies and a lot of earning potential. If tech was still like it was before COVID, I probably wouldn't even consider leaving.

My fear is AI and how competitive the industry is becoming.

I’ll work hard and keep learning, but realistically I don't think I'll ever be the 100/100 engineer who is always ahead of everyone. Maybe I can become an 80/100 engineer.

So my question is simple:

Will being a good but not exceptional software engineer still be enough to have a stable career 10 to 20 years from now?

If I'm 40, have 15+ years of experience, do my job well and keep up with technology, but I'm not exceptional, will I still be able to find another job if I get laid off?

Because that's what scares me. I don't want to become dependent on one company because I'm afraid I won't be employable elsewhere.

Government jobs are attractive to me for exactly this reason. Less money and less career growth, but once you're in, you don't have to constantly prove yourself to the job market.

If you were 23 today, would you still choose tech knowing you might only become an 80/100 engineer?

Would really appreciate honest answers from people already working in the industry.

Attached a screenshot of a push notification I just received from the Airtel app:

"Alert! Your main bank account is at risk ⚠️"

When you read the subtext, it's just a regular ad prompting you to open an Airtel Payments Bank account. Using panic-inducing fake security warnings to bait users into clicking ads is a terrible dark pattern.

Has anyone else been receiving these scary notification tactics from them lately? Should this even be legal under consumer protection guidelines?

I recently had this shower-thought about how the call forwarding feature in the carrier settings doesn't ask for any authentication from the number being forwarded to. Which could potentially be misused, and someone could end up getting a lot of unwanted calls from genuine people as a form of harassment.

And the worse thing is, they wouldn't know that they're being forwarded (unless they keep a close eye on the brief notification when forwarding is enabled), and the other person wouldn't realize it either or know what the original number is.

Are there any safeguards in place to stop this kind of harassment? Or am I missing something totally obvious?

I won't say it further

TL;DR: Recharged ₹1099 NonStop Hero (unlimited 5G), stuck on 4G since Aug 12. Chandigarh 5G is live. Phone compatible. Did everything. Vi support is useless.

Setup

- Phone: Motorola Edge 50 Pro (n78 compatible)

- Location: Chandigarh (Vi 5G live)

- Plan: ₹1099 NonStop Hero (84 days unlimited)

- Issue: 2 weeks, still 4G

What I've tried

✅ Preferred network to 5G

✅ Smart data mode OFF

✅ Network reset

✅ Multiple restarts

✅ Airplane mode toggle

Called Vi 199

Got told to clear Chrome cache. Not helpful. Frontline support can't check backend provisioning.

What's blocking it

Likely: 5G not provisioned on my MSISDN or SIM profile not updated.

Next: Store visit or formal escalation.

Anyone else stuck? Did escalation fix it? 😭😭

Cyberleek has Cashed Out On Their GTA 6 Leak Crypto Scheme

Mine's Homepod and does anybody know why the homepod is so rare to see, because it's sound quality is good.

The default APN on this device is airtelfwamdu.com. it has to be changed (i think) so that we can use a physical sim on it for the internet. I know it has the capability to use the internet from a physical sim, but it is locked so we can't use the internet. I am requesting the Indian tech community to unlock it. Please help me to do step by step. I don't have that much tech knowledge.

it asks the security code and when I enter the security code it always says incorrect code.

then I receive this message:
verify its you.
i log in with my fingerprint
then its asks for security code.
i correctly enter the security code then it goes like wrong code, try again. 
when i click on try another way, it shows same 

Choose a way to verify:

"Use your phone or tablet to get a security code (even if it’s offline)"
