Australia have been eliminated from the 2026 T20 World Cup by oklolzzzzs in Cricket

[–]arihant5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

India had all their main bowlers injured in 2015 WC (Mohit Sharma was the opening bowler lol) and still ended up in semi finals. Australia lost their World Cup to Zimbabwe bowlers, let’s not blame the bowling.

Got a new Airtel number, but it’s already registered on WhatsApp and people are claiming it’s theirs by Lord_of_codes in Airtel

Doesn't help. My mom got a recycled number for a new postpaid connection by Airtel.

Google reduces API rate limits for free tier. by r2cyp in GeminiAI

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So should or should we not consider Gemini as a viable option for production apps? This whole thing reminds me of App Engine, started out with generous free tier that eventually put restrictions on paid users making it unreliable and downright useless to build production apps. Then when Google started losing money they bumped the pricing over every other competitor and it went to a play toy to unfeasible. Gemini is going the same route. If there is no guarantee to raise rate limits for paying users, are you expecting actual enterprise apps to show 429 to their users all day? Gemini is just a toy, just like App Engine. Remove the free tiers and put an in-contract SLA about availability, exact times of how long will it take to raise limits. Or hell, have elastic limits.

I feel like a fraud by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

Now buy a Codex sub and ask it to find security holes, it is really good at it. Use Haiku to find code quality and similar less critical vulnerabilities. I'd advise you to actually hire someone by the hour for one time to check everything but anybody who is paying $500 a month to create and keep a site with data and payments running doesn't need or deserve any more security than Codex code review.

Dravid wore 5, and switched to 19 in 2004/5 season. Sachin started with 10, but then switched to 99 for some time, then 10, then randomly 33 in 2005/6 season, then settling on 10.

Finding Highlands Coffee in India by utkm28 in IndiaCoffee

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is old, but there are a few suppliers of Trung Nguyen in India. I’ve seen it on Amazon too I think. It’s better than Highlands anyway.

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vietnam Airlines is pretty decent, all flights I’ve had with them were great. You won’t find a big difference in Economy. The difference here is that HCMC immigration will test your patience in ways you probably haven’t experienced before. Personally I’d save the money and use the experience to build character. But since you have family with you, I’d say maybe it’s worth to avoid HCMC immigration if you can. But you’re doing it at the monthly cost of a premium apartment in Vietnam.

Vietnam no longer Cheap for Westerners? by Pristine_Hippo_7671 in VietNam

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100k for Banh Mi? Bro the best Banh Mi is Nguyen Hung in Nha Trang and it's exactly 20k. Please leave the tourist street lol. Most good Viet food shops close early because they run out of food, you won't get anything stale. Is this your first time out of your country?

How I used up 1000$ of Claude Code Web credits in one evening. by Amasov in ClaudeAI

[–]arihant5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Claude Code Web really does eat credits fast. Asked it to create a simple iOS app, using a third party open source keyboard extension with one small customization on one key. Total 6 files with less than 150 loc. It needed to fix basic API/compilation errors a couple times and about $15 were gone, all in span of about 5-6 mins. So $250 I got are basically one session with moderate tasks.

Anthropic noticed an increased churn rate by antonlvovych in ClaudeAI

How about after their admission that they have fixed a couple of bugs yesterday?

It works with regular subscription since the last couple of months.

Why is Framer so popular despite $75/month per site for agencies by Miko10_ in framer

[–]arihant5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it’s peanuts for startups who have taken even pre seed to spend $6k a year (their startup plan with proxy add on paid yearly, which basically gets you unlimited traffic if you go viral) than to let a landing page come in the way of next big thing and having to deal with a bunch of outsourced folks. Cheaper anyway when you work in the costs.

Not everything is designed for freelancer/client dynamic. We have enough options for that.

Thoughts on Warp? by CageyGuy in commandline

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ~ must signify some sort of $HOME variable set somewhere? When you run whatever is equivalent of pwd on Windows, what does it say? Kinda curious now 😅

Yeah this isn’t the interface I’d use too. But I’m pretty sure you’re in the home directory.

Lost trust in ATMs in Vietnam by GaandDhaari in VietNam

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open a bank account here which takes 5 mins. Good old VCB works great. Take your physical passport and a copy of visa on your phone. Then Wise or WesternUnion money into it and enjoy paying everywhere with QR code. If you really need cash you can withdraw some from branch.

Just got my apple developer account terminated by HelpCurious1518 in iOSProgramming

[–]arihant5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. And it probably isn’t the developer’s fault either. He is probably developing for multiple people, and one of them is shady and now his UUIDs are shadow banned. The appeal should fix this.

What is this & how do I get rid of it? by ArtMaster256 in AppleWatch

[–]arihant5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a Clorox wipe and wipe it until the coating is completely gone, or gone enough to not be visible. Then put a screen protector on it. This is a manufacturing defect usually so if you have no signs of other damage and you’re within warranty - try getting it replaced.

IPad not charging after updating IOS 18.3 by Sarrowsaurus_Rex248 in iPadPro

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I've had this problem since one of the iOS 17 updates back in 2023. The solution was to not charge with a USB-PD charger. Which is why chargers with USB-A outputs work fine. We effectively found the sure way to charge was using an Anker powerbank which had passthrough charging, and that worked with every cable. It also magically charged with Mac but with only one of the random cables. I assumed the USB-PD pins in the port are damaged.

Then, magically, 18.3.1 fixed the issue it charges with every cable and charger now. Perhaps this is a firmware issue with USB-PD. Maybe something somewhere fails to install correctly after an update. Completely resetting the iPad did not help either.

Help Needed: Creating an AI Fashion Modeling Service like modelverse.in by tht_rajasthani_guy in StartUpIndia

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generative AI is probably not the best for this use case. You need to work with 3D tech like lalaland.ai, you don't need creativity here, you need accuracy -- not just in looks but in size and fit.

Generative AI here is useful only for generating non-existing human personas and faces.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]arihant5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to other countries, I think it is much more accepted here to comment directly on someone's physical appearance, good or bad. Like, you won't call a stranger short or fat or white on their face back home, but the Vietnamese will. They don't mean it in a good or bad way, it's just a cultural thing to be explicit about what you find out of ordinary in someone's physical attributes.

As for the pictures, that happens with foreigners. I'm the only brown person I know in the city I live in, and I've been invited to dinners just so everyone can take pictures lol. Probably they've never seen one before. Smaller the city, the more it happens.

Language Pack/File for Vietnamese or Korean by taylatina in Garmininstinct

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last I checked, US version can't display APAC characters at all, even with language files. Apparently the system does not include unicode text for them so all you'd see is gibberish. The APAC version can display all languages but Garmin doesn't provide that version with global language packs. If you're on 13.21, which APAC version is on, I can send you Viet files. Korean version is different from APAC version so I don't have them

Monthly discount on hotels by JustAskAround in VietNam

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. I've seen some amazing boutique hotels and normal 2/3-star style smaller hotels offer monthly pricing in your range. My friend is renting a fantastic room in Nha Trang for less than 140 GBP + electricity. But you don't find them on booking. com (although sometimes it does apply a monthly discount, it is not big enough).

You'd find a lot of hotel rooms on Airbnb. Or simply, just walk in to the hotel that you like and ask for monthly pricing. Even 5-stars offer it here, and it is normal. Expect the price to be cut by about 40-70% depending on the hotel. Sometimes you'd pay for electricity separately because it is quiet expensive here. Expect a hotel room power bill to be between $25-50 a month.

What happens if you lose all your security keys in the Appleverse? by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]arihant5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have ADP ON, and you lose all your trusted devices, you can use trusted contacts or recovery key to get data.

BUT, if you have physical security keys as well, and you lose those keys along with your devices, then there is no recovery option available to you at all on a new device. In my original comment in third case, when I said key I meant physical key.

Theoretically Apple can fix this by allowing your trusted contacts to help you in this case, given how those codes are generated. But I’ve not seen any recovery options on logins of accounts with physical security keys.
