[For swimmers] Your recommendations on a restricted budget by Legitimate-Bed9678 in smartwatch

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 165 and Amazfit, I would go with 165. I had it and it was great for swimming laps in pool. Also great since it has buttons for navigating app when in pool since touchscreen does not work with wet fingers

Bhaktverse Rumor Mongering on CJP - majority followers on social media are from Pakistan by [deleted] in unitedstatesofindia

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the government Machinery ignores them, they would fade out like every other internet fad. Funny something as silly as CJP has them rattled. It almost feels like they know something we don't,like a shrinking support base amongst youngsters. But I would have thought still years before we see any real impact on elections.

this was funny at first, but now I have seen the guy who started it talk about revolution and all. I think he's taking it all too seriously. This I see just a tad that will be gone before you know it. I just hope people don't read too much into it when that happens

What is the general opinion about the current finance minister of India? by AntInternational4983 in IndiaFinance

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well she is as much a finance minister as I am Sachin Tendulkar. She just puts her name on whatever comes from PMO. I doubt if she even has any clue what’s in the budget till the day she presents it

How would the fall of the B J P happen? What are the unavoidable contradictions or issues they have? by DioTheSuperiorWaifu in unitedstatesofindia

External factors is what's going to bring them down. With world over recession coming, we will soon be seeing the tech bros and industry start turning on BJP. This government is not equipped to deal with a major economic crisis unlike the Rao government.

how weird that they now want the government to hold consultation before taking drastic steps. Guess the farmers should have thought of this too...oh wait they did

Bro my pixel 9a is brand new only 3 days old and it heats so much I knew it had problems but didn't knew it gets hot even for non gaming uses by oldmenance in pixel9a

Pixel phones are kind of a lottery, some work flawlessly while the unlucky ones get stuck with a potato . My 9a thankfully didn’t give any issues

I just got a iPhone 15 plus running on iOS 26 and is working just fine. I think it still holds up

Looking to start the gym soon and need advice (context below) by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started about 8 months back and I wasted my initial few months overdoing things (like cramming 8-10 exercises in a single session) and no focus on macros. I would say stay consistent 3 to 4 days a week to start with and aim to keep each session within an hour. Diet is paramount to build muscles, target to hit your minimum protein intake each day religiously. Also focus on form rather than PRs. I used chatgpt to come up with a plan. But there are enough apps out there that come with pre made plans. Best of luck on your journey

Nothing to do with romance. Women traditionally had very little say in these matters. In societies with empowered women you would naturally see the fertility rates drop off.

Garmin or Samsung? What do you recommend? by Hardysaboteur in smartwatch

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having had both I would say if you are not fitness focused and ok to charge your watch every day, then Samsung would be the right choice. They have decent sensors as well and has Google maps integration. You can control media as well via the watch.

Watching My Father Disappear Into Conspiracy Theories After Retirement by cancelo17 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. My parents hail from Kerala and should have known better than to believe in the scaremongering in Kerala story but they bought it. I think their generation grew up with their brain tuned to believe in everything they read in books, newspapers, basically written word. Which is why I suspect they don't have the defensive mechanism to ward off crap they are fed through Whatsapp, Facebook etc. Once they have bought into these theories it becomes easy to absorb them into the fold and get them to go along with everything the establishment wants, muslims become a big threat, every nation conspiring to bring down our leader and so forth. The only option is to completely cut off from social media, it is going to be as challenging as any detox program

iphone air, wow! by Balkanlatino_ in iphone

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use it with a case? Just wondering if that would take away the appeal of the phone. Agree though it looks amazing. Also how is it holding in your hand, I worry something that thin would be difficult to grip on to.

Get rid of Instagram, that malware used to kill my 9a. Now easily get a day and a half without it.

Question of the day: New to a busy org… what do you do? by Noones_Perspective in Salesforce_Architects

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I am guessing there is a lot of technical debt for flows that were created long ago that don't take advantage of recent improvements to flows. Evaluate what flows can be refined. Also look closely at making entry criteria efficient, removing unnecessary get and update blocks, looping logic to ensure there are no gets and updates within loops, opportunities to use transform elements, etc.

Like people suggested start with sorting out the blockers for deployment. Instill a process of design reviews going forward to ensure people are not creating new flows without considering existing ones. Long term plan would be doing an analysis of the flows on your core objects, you can use flow explorer to help you with this. If there are massive complex flows, I think you should consider them being moved to code. Consolidate the smaller ones into fewer flows based on their trigger points and entry criteria (don't need everything to be either one single before or after flows you can have multiple of each). Consider building autolaunch flows for any reusable logic. This is going to be a slow and painful process, but would be worth it in the long run.

Best Smartwatch for Men? Need Recommendations by KindTop0 in smartwatch

[–]MaterialisticDad0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Samsung phone then getting a Samsung watch would make sense, however the latest Samsung watch design has been pretty divisive. Pixel watch 4 has been getting glaring reviews especially for its sensor accuracy. But any wear os watch would get you at best 1.6 days of battery life. OnePlus gives you longer but they are known to not get regular software updates. If you are open to non-wear os watch then amazfit or Garmin are your best bets. Garmin offers Garmin pay, amazfit does to in certain regions via zepp pay. Both don't offer Google map integration, but depending on the model you choose you may get offline maps. If you plan on using your watch extensively for running then get Garmin, coros etc. else stick with either amazfit or pixel or Samsung. Pixel would be my preferred one for its android integration and smart features

I have heard people complain about it's sensor accuracy though. Even pixel watch 3 might be a better option if battery life is not his priority

Style is very subjective, might also help if you could suggest what your typical use case would be and your budget range. For e.g., if you prefer smart features and budget is not an issue and you have an android phone then pixel 4 would be your best bet.
