How can there be double standards for Passport renewal @HCI_Singapore @passportsevamea? We apply for passport renewal in SG and police verification is easy. Helper applies and Police in Darjeeling ask for more documents than authorities here. Seeking guidance
Oof, brave and perhaps the right choice for Sharma to opt out while leaving Kohli in. Krishna is never going to win us a Test though

Trying to do anything on the myAadhaar site is a true test of patience. OTPs don't come through, then it asks you to select an option while greying all options out.

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

Users have full control over their mic settings
Once granted permission, WhatsApp only accesses the mic when a user is making a call or recording a voice note or video - and even then, these communications are protected by end-to-end encryption so WhatsApp cannot hear them

Over the last 24 hours we’ve been in touch with a Twitter engineer who posted an issue with his Pixel phone and WhatsApp.
We believe this is a bug on Android that mis-attributes information in their Privacy Dashboard and have asked Google to investigate and remediate.
WhatsApp has been using the microphone in the background, while I was asleep and since I woke up at 6AM (and that's just a part of the timeline!) What's going on?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
WhatsApp has clarified they believe it to be a bug in Android's Privacy Dashboard (twitter.com/WhatsApp/statu…)
Any Indians on my TL who have travelled to Vietnam and got visa on arrival recently? Has the process changed in any way, and do you need any permission letter in advance?

Life happens. And when it happens to your phone, it’s always handy to have the option to enable end-to-end encrypted backup to revive your chat history 💾 #WorldBackupDay
Hi @IndEmbMexico Do Indians need a tourist visa to Mexico if they have a valid US B1/B2 visa?

This is a really important article from @DarrenLoucaides @Wired about Telegram. If you think Telegram is secure, you should read this article and understand the truth - especially before you use it for anything private.
Some really important points:
To hear its founder tell it, Telegram was founded precisely to allow users to communicate in ways that skirt authoritarian surveillance.
Yet Russian authorities are wielding it as a powerful weapon against antiwar activists. How? wired.trib.al/8hLXQNo
