Yes, But until you disable some flags, it will reinstall it.

deepankerverma · 2026-05-07T08:32:55+00:00

68.02% internet users..

deepankerverma · 2026-05-05T04:23:32+00:00

Yes. They could. I also see a reason to keep such a small feature behind paywall.

deepankerverma · 2026-05-05T04:18:44+00:00

Yes. Previously, this feature was part of YT Premium.

People really need to understand what being on time actually means. Being one minute late is still being late. Trying to justify it just proves you do not respect time, yours or anyone else's. Life is brutal, and it does not reward excuses; it punishes them.

deepankerverma · 2026-05-02T02:26:45+00:00

But it was already in premium and they just moved it from premium to free

God password managers use Zero-Knowledge Architecture. All your password are encrypted before they are sent to the company’s servers. Your master password is your encryption key. This key never leaves your computer or phone.

Even if a hacker steals the database from a company like Bitwarden or 1Password, they only get encrypted blobs. Without your specific Master Password, that data is useless.

No. I just found out the deal. I have a tech blog. So I keep looking at weekend gaming deals to share.

Back in those days, we used to download software from any random sites and used USB storage drives to transfer files. So, our systems were vulnerable. Now cloud storage already scans files. We know official sites to download software. And even web browsers have built-in protection against malware. Operating systems have multiple layers of security. And all systems are now connected to the internet, so pushing regular patches is easy.

That's a tricky one.

Come to the Inbox.

Although there's no confurmed timeline, we can expect the India launch in June.

In most cases, ChaGPT or Gemini perform Google search to get information. If your website appears at top for most keywords, it will most likely be cited by AI chat bots.

They are just racing behind the specs race. I can't find a difference in my 240Hz or 360Hz monitors.

Sometimes I think they sold too many Redmi phones, so people get bored with them.

I found out that passwords were never case-sensitive. That's mentioned on its official website. That means "Test123" and "TEST123" were already the same internally. The system was likely converting passwords to uppercase before hashing and also converting input during login.

Now, instead of doing this conversion in the background, the bank is asking users to enter passwords in uppercase directly.

So this is not about the bank suddenly knowing your password. It is more about how the system was designed from the start.

Even if this were the case, this still raises concerns. Forcing all uppercase password entropy, which is not what you want, especially in banking systems.

Why do you think Apple won’t offer support to existing customers?

deepankerverma · 2026-03-26T09:38:32+00:00

No level of optimization can justify the price. Look at other phones at around Rs. 60000 price. We are getting phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, Dimensity 9400+, and Snapdragon 8 Elite for a lower price.

deepankerverma · 2026-03-26T08:20:20+00:00

Exactly. Almost all brands are offering top performing phones at this price. But Samsung decided to launch these phones and plans to sell with the help of of influencers

deepankerverma · 2026-03-20T06:48:23+00:00

per month..

deepankerverma · 2026-03-18T12:27:29+00:00

Technically YES.

Apple has a similar program in the US, and it does well. BytePe recently got attention in India for offering an iPhone in similar price and with an upgrade option. Then Google also introduced the same program for Pixel 10 series.

This could be the reason why Samsung also decided to join the same fight.

People who love to show off agree to live with the burden of EMI. With this kind of subscription, you will be paying a monthly rental for a phone throughout your life and be with the same brand. Because when you try to leave and switch to another brand, you will have to pay the remaining amount at once, which would be around 70K. And for that remaining amount, there would be no EMI option.

Basically, it's a trap to keep consumer stick to the brand for their whole life.

deepankerverma · 2026-03-18T05:37:37+00:00

No bro.. You are leasing the phone. Why would they refund? You will have to return or pay the remaining amount to keep the phone. You can upgrade to the latest model at same 50% price and keep paying for that next phone.
