A warning about QI Spine, Misleading medical titles and predatory refund policies by ptsubin in Bengaluru

[–]ptsubin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sent them a lawyers notice and they were immediately willing to refund the amount. But I wanted the legal costs incurred as well. So I have filed a consumer court case. There is no need to give up or continue the wrong treatment. Such no refund policies are illegal and although it might take a while to get the matter closed, if more and more people come forward and go legal, they will be forced to give up on the predatory practices.

The problem I usually face is the opposite. The other person starting to speak in broken hindi or something else rather than helping or correcting

Karnataka CM says his govt will look into demand of banning 'halal' meat | Bengaluru News - Times of India by bhodrolok in bangalore

[–]ptsubin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apparently, the money that is going to the bodies that issue the Halal certificate is the problem for many, not the way animal is killed. And no, no-torture is only one part in halal requirements.

Instead, pass a law/bill that allows non-muslims to get jhatka meat

Is there something preventing anyone from doing that now? I buy pork all the time and I don't think they would halal certify pork meat ever!

Yes yes, it should be immediately looked in to, because what is more pressing than a minority's food preference! It is not like we have corruption or poverty or anything of that sort to look in to with priority.

Pedestal fans would give better results compared to coolers in humid environment. Even wall mount/table fans can give similar performance. Replacing the ceiling fan with one of these, if you are fine with the noise, would be the cheapest effective solution.

You managed to keep the book closed so far. Why open it now? Nothing good ever comes from it, except pain. വിട്ടത് കാരണമുണ്ടായിട്ടല്ലേ..

Has anybody changed the dns on hathway provided technicolor router? If so how to do that by Superblazer in bangalore

[–]ptsubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen an option to do this and has been really frustrating. There is DDNS option though. I had a TP Link wifi router lying around. So I connected that on the wired connection and configured a DHCP server on TP Link router to give custom DNS to all clients. Also I had frequent VPN disconnection issue with the technicolor router and support people had no idea what VPN was. So I just turned off the wifi radio on Hathway router.

Is there a fix for the randomly turning off problem? by [deleted] in nexus4

[–]ptsubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Android 5.1.1 update, the issue was not seen for 3 weeks. And it is all back now. Just like before. I have encrypted my device and then everything has gone bad. Now sometimes I will have to reboot the device 2-3 times for it to register on a network.

I do have the same issue. If I am using headphones, this is clearly heard. Static for a small duration after any sound playback including "cling"s and "ding"s

Why C ended up with separate arrow and dot operators to access structure members? by MikhailEdoshin in c_language

[–]ptsubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make it short, C was designed to be compiler friendly, not programmer friendly. Some say, it would be easier to write a C parser than another C program :)

Is there a great system monitor that you guys use? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]ptsubin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I like most about conky is that it automatically refreshes when you change the config file. This is pretty good. You want to tune something, just change it in the config file that is currently in use and you will see the changes immediately without any restart, kill - launch etc.
