Since @VijaySales don't do returns, I now have 14k worth of turd device which doesn't do what its maker claims. 😠 This is the last time I'm buying any Google hardware!
Fitbit Air & @googlehealth apparently track steps even when I'm sitting. Sleep is tracked while I'm sitting still for a few minutes while watching a movie. I slept for ~4.5 hrs last night but it tracked it as ~7 hrs. WTF! This is just hot garbage.

I never had this kind of nonsense with my ~5 years old @SamsungIndia Galaxy Watch 4. And this Fitbit Air was supposed to replace my old Watch 4. 🙁 C'mon @SamsungMobile - you guys need to launch a screen-less fitness band. We need a lightweight tracker that actually works!

I very much doubt that they didn't know what it means & how it will be understood. They just didn't want to admit that they're short-changing their top subscribers. So why come clean now? Is it something to do w/ the IPO. Otherwise could've just carried on w/ the charade. 🙄
I lead product for Claude subscriptions. Today we're renaming our Max plans, and I want to explain why. When we launched our top plan in April 2025, it had a single limit: 5 hours. It gave you 20x Pro's limit, so we called it Max 20x. When we added weekly limits to Max 20x, we set them to 10x Pro's (the 5-hour limit stayed at 20x). I get that some new users assumed 20x applied to both limits. We could have done better here, and I'm sorry. The Ultra plan keeps the weekly limit (10x Pro), but we're removing the 5-hour limit so you can keep building without getting blocked mid-session. This starts today and rolls out in stages. To help prevent fraud and abuse, a temporary limit applies until we've verified your account. You'll get an email when your limit is removed. We've got more cooking and can't wait to share it. Thanks for building with Claude 🙏

Something broke in Claude Code 2.1.314? Its unable to read ~/.claude/plans/ & it had to be added in the allowed directories list. @addyosmani @lydiahallie

You go to a bank & every single person is trying to upsell you on something or other! WTF happened to giving a damn about what the customer wants?! Pathetic! 🙄

My 5 year old Xbox can turn my 15 year old TV on/off when it is switched on/off. But 2026 computers & displays don't have this feature as they lack the CEC control. Kind of WTF thing. Such a basic QoL thing & yet missing! 🙄

So Amazon has removed the option to contact support altogether. Its AI powered support only which obviously is lacking. WTF?! Delivery person can mark order as delivered (w/o delivery) & customer is shit out of luck?!

One has to wonder - why would a security certificate provider do this. It seems likely that the person(s) responsible didn't know the diff between 384 bit numbers & numbers upto 384. And in that case the question should be why such person(s) are working on this?! 🙄
I don't really understand why this would happen. It seems higher-effort than standard key generation.

For all the talk abt UX, I'm still amazed at stupidity of Apple engineers. Trying to set up a new Mac & restoring Time Machine from NAS is just obnoxious, Migration Asst just won't connect. Had to mount TM backup to get it going. Jeez!!

Whoa! Is this a beginning? DeepSeek models don't just run via DeepSeek directly by "signing up", they are used a lot via routing services like OpenRouter. What is this really about?! Will banhammer fall on more Chinese models in days/weeks to come?! madrobot.blog/2026/10/19/us-…

Special place in hell is reserved for the assholes who vibe code slop as commercial desktop software. This includes assholes who run ML models locally w/o asking users, grinding their computers to a halt. You know who you are - go fuck yourself! 🤡🖕

The way I work on long builds is - hammer out a PRD. Then implementation plan is created & work is divided into small tasks. Harness uses these to then work. Say what you will but Opus 5.5 on medium still hates thinking & jumps head first into coding. On High it verifies first.

Someone dropped a msg in our RWA WhatsApp group that there's an event in a school nearby so that road could get congested & avoid. Some guy replied that his wife (& he listed all her creds) is chief guest there. WTF?! Nobody frickin asked. World is full of morons! 🤣

Problem w/ democracy is that any asshole can come up (funded by whoever) claiming to represent ppl (who've never even heard of them) & cause mayhem, chaos, traffic jams & general inconvenience to hardworking tax paying citizens! And there's jack shit anyone can do abt this! ☹️

बिहारी खान-पान में कई चीज़ें मुझे बहुत पसंद हैं। लिट्टी चोखा, सत्तू परांठा तो प्रसिद्ध हैं - चना घुगनी, मखाने की खीर, सनई के पकोड़े, अनरसा भी हैं जो बिहार के बाहर अधिक प्रचलित नहीं हैं। २ दिन पहले घर का बना ठेकुआ मिला - आहा, मज़ा ही आ गया। 😋

Today being a holiday, all the vella boomers in locality are spamming RWA whatsapp group with nonsensical shit! 100+ messages since morning. 😑

Not sure when Anthropic integrated Claude Design in the regular chatbot flow. Last time I checked it was a different section. Now its integrated - you can kick off design in any conversation. And Opus & Fable are really good with UI mockups.

In other chains, @CostaCoffeeInd is bad, they don't have any QC on franchisees. Barista used to be good but not anymore. @thirdwaveindia is plagued by poor service & crap menu. Only decent option is @BlueTokaiCoffee nowadays! 😐
This is the Iced Cappuccino in Venti size that @StarbucksIndia serves in a big ass glass. The coffee is about 1/3 - rest is froth! A total ripoff if there was ever one. On top of it, the coffee is really shitty!
